Hell yeah man those look awesome.

Love Purple and green contrast. Are these the old metal boys?

[–] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The law requires that I answer yes.

[–] Talentlesssculptor@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Ohh. I love it. Because of the implication. Blink once if you know where to get hold of more of those totally old legit metal minis.

[–] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I get my minis from someone who gets them from someone, so there isn't exactly a place to point to.

I thought that might have been it. Pity. That particular era is one I often cast my mind back to again and again.

If you like old metal Catachans, I can point to legit Void 1.1 minis on Nobleknight and sometimes eBay. Very similar vibe.

Interesting. I am looking for hand sculpted minis mostly. I find that the digitally sculpted ones lack the charm and exaggerated proportions of early GW and Citadel figures. No one makes them 5 heads tall any more.

Void is an early 2000s game, pre-CAD sculpting. The Viridians are the more conventional force with both guard and Space Marine analogs. Other factions are pretty cool and wonky in their own ways. "Void 2.0" is a repackaged release of original sculpts and "Urban War" was a revival attempt using what looks like modified original sculpts.

(Yes the Sergeant is a woman. Void sculpts mix in a lot of women and they let you know it.)
