He seemed favorable to the idea and asked me for a list of poses that I thought would be good to add. I am waiting to hear back from him on the viability of expanding the line.<br /><br />-EliEli Arndthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10445801567500822187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2225875593099728358.post-236196784604055722009-04-28T04:43:00.000+01:002009-04-28T04:43:00.000+01:00elakin,

Are they still actively doing the 300 club?<br /><br />I'd certainly buy other nationalities troops if they became available (or sign up for 300-club pre-orders)elakinhttp://www.infohell.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2225875593099728358.post-91479527829622001292009-04-27T23:24:00.000+01:002009-04-27T23:24:00.000+01:00I had good luck using artillery crews for zombies....I had good luck using artillery crews for zombies. Clip the shells out of their hands and bend the heads and they look very shambley.<br /><br />As for armored Russians, my buddy and I have been trying to crack that nut for a bit. You might want to look at modern Russian commandos, especially if you can find any with the night vision helmets with the face shields. Another option might be to use Italian paratrooper as their horizontal magazine pouches could be painted like metal. Might not even need a head swap either.<br /><br />-EliEli Arndthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10445801567500822187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2225875593099728358.post-47188818543673808472009-04-27T23:19:00.000+01:002009-04-27T23:19:00.000+01:00The time honored issue with WWW2 is what to do for...The time honored issue with WWW2 is what to do for the good guys. By good guys I mean the UK and America. It's just hard to imagine them doing the horrible things that the Japanese, Germans and even the Russians did.<br /><br />I always thought that Tesla-based gizmos had a place in allied gear and DP9 seems to agree. I think the Russians need some armored troops.<br /><br />Mark, if you haven't checked them out, look at Eureka's Sci-fi WW2 Germans. I commissioned these through their 300 Club when it first came about and they make great elite German strike troops. You might als want to contact Nic at Eureka and see if there might be some room for sci-fi WW2 elements for other nations.<br /><br />-EliEli Arndthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10445801567500822187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2225875593099728358.post-56870892151476983602009-04-27T02:48:00.000+01:002009-04-27T02:48:00.000+01:00Take a look at Dream Pod 9's "Gear Krieg" figs -- ...Take a look at Dream Pod 9's "Gear Krieg" figs -- these are hands-down my favorite WWWII figs for 15mm, possibly my favorite 15mm period. Their troop figures are limited, but they *do* have german zombies. Russians are almost nonexistent though (1 tank) -- you can use the british/american walkers as lend-lease though.<br /><br />And, there's going to be a Battlefront Evolution: World at War expansion covering Gear Krieg figs soon! Info, along with some nicely painted figs side-by-side 15mm troops at:<br />http://www.agisn.de/html/gear_krieg.html<br /><br />As for the elite soviets...cant help ya there. But, Eureka makes some *awsome* "sci-fi germans" (which are sadly limited to 4 sculpts) that will work well for weird world war II. Here's some of mine as example:<br /><br />http://users.infohell.net/~elakin/20090404_gearkrieg/scifi_germans.jpgelakinhttp://users.infohell.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2225875593099728358.post-69083137190656648262009-04-27T01:43:00.000+01:002009-04-27T01:43:00.000+01:00I love weird war II stuff.

And that was mostly horror games, not sci-fi. <br /><br />My personal preference for breakdown of the nationalities is:<br />Germans: occult, magic, monsters, and mad science. The long war has depleted their technological resources and they have to turn to demonic or necromantic sources of power to continue.<br />US: Technology, power armor, super-weapons, etc. Alien tech scavenged from crashed foo-fighters keeps the Americans on the cutting edge.<br />UK: resources also scarce because of the long war. Special ops and stealth raids using magic or technology. Whatever it takes to get the job done.<br />Japan: More magic. Spirit ancestors have joined the war to prevent the disgrace of a defeat. Dragons join Zeros on attacks in the pacific.Casey Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03049166737504738677noreply@blogger.com
