Whats the story behind these?
« on: December 12, 2008, 05:20:32 PM »
Check these out http://liniafrontu.pl/index.php?galeria=47

Were those the minis Excelsior were working on? I think those minis looks really great...

Could someone please enlighten me?

Yep.  They look like some of the last greens I ever saw/held in my hands back in 2005.  The Cavaliers were sweet....

The Golden Lion Demo-spec is a slightly slimmer version of the actual model (I know this- I own three of them and the pose/'stache was an homage to me.  Good story behind that one...)

I spoke on email yesterday with a Polish retailer that sells Warzone and Chronopia stocks from Target Games. And he knew the owner of the website, since he had been selling to Polish players every month. And he believed that some of the biggest collections of Warzone in the world were in Poland where there apparently are hundreds of players still active. He had lots of Chronopia and much less Warzone. I could ask him to translate some questions for me, and even translate the answers..

hmmm.. my own private translator..

All of these were ultimately Excelsior models and released.  Many are floating around still except for the ST.  The Stormtrenchers never made it out.  We were in the middle of cleaning these up with the sculptor when everything hit the fan and I shut down. I still want most of these guys as I feel that I commissioned them in the first place and I hate that a sculptor was on a limb because of me.  Sadly I forgot about these guys in the clean up process.

 :o It was exaggerated then. Oh well. 30 is better than 29. Thanks for the mail Christof, appreciate you getting back to me!  :)

T Prime: Thanks for the info! I'll ask the sculptor if he has them still, and if he's willing to create some units..
