In The Pipe......15mm Zas Mercs

.
Critical Mass Games is continuing to increase their incredible Mercs range with some real goodies over the coming months.

Craig sent me a pack of the Zas Mercenary Fighters with my latest order, damn him! Yes, damn him because I really like these miniatures. In fact I like all the figures in the forthcoming Mercs packs, but these Zas Fighters - there's something just so  Harkonnen about them, that I want them to replace my current Harkonnen Spice Troopers.

To save me taking almost identical photos with my camera, here are some pics from the Critical Mass Games' Forum. If I'm honest the pics didn't inspire me whern I first saw them, but actually having the miniatures in my hand - now that's a different matter. The Zas Fighters are great!  So much so that I've taken Mudd Eisley down off the shelf to play around with the minis in setting and they've shot right to the head of my painting queue.

And of course, the production of the figures is everything we've come to expect from Critical Mass Games - crisp detail and trouble free casting. I hope these sell well and the range consequently expanded. I'll certainly get another 2 packs to start (maybe more), giving me at least 3 fire teams for Tomorrow's War and "Ambush Alley Mudd Eisley Style".

A limited number of poses but inspiring miniatures. Thoroughly recommended.

Cheers

  1. I'm sure it's expensive as hell, commissioning all these different sculpts, but I hope Dale and Craig know what a great service they're performing by creating this wide variety of Mercs.

    Keep it up, gents.

    Best,

  2. I just hope they take the most successful sellers from the Mercs lines and expand them into some more packs. I'm not worried about vehicles or terrain support or anything major like that, but it would still be a blast to have complete platoon-sized armies from some of these sculpts.
