New Recruits for Cybertronic?
« on: November 10, 2007, 02:31:17 AM »
 Just spotted these on the Zvezda site and thought that they would interest Cybertronic players with new options.

 Let me know what you think of them.

Well code 8404 would proxy for a Cancer mounted MG.  ;D

Good find. I wonder how these are made - metal or plastic? I have seen some of the plastic troops, the Cursed Legion - talk about multipart skeletons, even the hands were seperated from arms so you could glue in the position you wanted them.

These could be useful.  I know atleast some are plastic, but they might fill some gaps.

8407 would make a decent proxy for an Operations Overseer. With a decent paintjob it would look rather impressive!

So is this some kind of Russian miniatures game?  It's like their version of Urban War/Void.

 They have a fantasy game called ring of rule,so this may be their first go at a sci-fi one.They would fit in with Urban War too very Syntha looking.

Thats because he linked directly to the site.  You should be able to see them now, I have downloaded them and put them on my server at work.  I would say that both these figures are plastic due to the amount of detail on them.  You don't get that much clear crisp detail on a pewter miniature.

Thanks Seamus!

I'd say that's the Mr. Crabby I've been looking for to do a Cancer conversion off of.

Doesn't fit my mind's eye version of the Cancer MMG but I see the Pilot as part of a conversion for a yet to be designed Cybertronic VTOL or tank. Scenario bait  :o  ;D

Depending on price the other dude might become an Overseer or another proxy - gotta check my list.
