so i decided to make a visual aid for my "reduce the number of each head type, and fit more bodies" proposal.. as you can see, there is still a lot of heads on the sprue, but you get mor...

So any thoughts on the Zombies?posted in Classic Fantasy
looking at that, i forsee a lot of people complaining that they have way too many redundant heads, and not enough bodies. especialyl since i highly doubt that many people are going to want to have ...

So any thoughts on the Zombies?posted in Classic Fantasy
well i was figuring that if you can cut a few of the heads, you could up the bodies and arms to 8 per sprue. most people when they buy a box of plastic zombies, they expect *bulk* numbers rather th...

So any thoughts on the Zombies?posted in Classic Fantasy
and honestly, there is nothing keeping them from taking any heads they didn't use in the box, and sticking them on an upgrade half-sprue of just heads. (and maybe a few more arm varieties, like say...

So any thoughts on the Zombies?posted in Classic Fantasy
I second the call that the modern hats might best be left off and made an STL.. right now that is a lot of heads, and they'll take up most of the sprue. enough so that i can already forsee a lot of...

12.5mm Pleaseposted in Grand Battle Scale

@Hudson Adams so only 12 figures per box? Must have a lot of customization.

Wonder how many bodies per sprue, and how many per box.

The Valkir Are Comingposted in Iron-Core: Mark Mondragon's Universe
i figured since the sculpts were updated and all new sprues being made, a few extra arms might have been snuck on over and above the normal guns for the trooper types. a pistol and a sword would le...

The Valkir Are Comingposted in Iron-Core: Mark Mondragon's Universe
i'd hope at least a few of the melee options on the sprue. even if not a main part, enough game systems give squad and unit commanders pistol+melee loadouts that i'd expect at least one set to the ...
