Amazing stuff, there's a link to their shop and the painted figs there (1:35 scale). Not sure if it's a game or just a line of minis with a background setting to them, but really nice stuff.

You French-readers, details!!

talk about issing the boat budy .. These have been the hot topic for a few weeks...
Managed to get some of the minis at Salute ...(:p: non brits )

Thereare two systems .. one is a victorian london setting steampunk game with the 1:35 scale minis.. The other is a eird war style game and has some of the coolest models going in the pipeline.. The figs are a bit pricey but as I have said a hundred times allready the quality is worth the extra cost.

The most promising thing about these is that they are supporting English from the Off .. I have my fingers crossed that these guys do well and my wallet can continue to be raped for quality resin and amazing designs for years to come. There's a guy with a crocodile head coming that just rocks my boat so much.

ah, found the english link on their main page.

Yeah, nice. Dunno, we non-brits across the pond might have a hard time at $40+ for 1 model...

Really slick presentation though...maybe you'll post some pix? ;)

We've already been over that too. :D My take on it - beats the hell out of Forgeworld, and from the sounds of them, they're a joy to assemble. None of that soak them in hot water so the crap will fit together routine.

Well, that's if you're going to buy Forgeworld.

I have to remember some of the posters here are gamers who paint and the others are painters who may/may not game. ;)

And don't forget, 1:35 scale means the models themselves are about 54mm tall, so for $40, you're getting an Inquisitor scaled miniature, which is about the right price. Plus 1:35 or 1:32 scale is the scale most common among military vehicles. So tons of options.

I definately wouldn't mind a couple of these, game or not.

Interesting, but too spendy for me as a game. A single model or two, just for painting, I could maybe see that. It would truly have to be outstanding, though.
