Happy Cyber Monday...Go Shopping!


Hey, it's the biggest day of the year, as far as shopping on the internet. Since all of my sculpting and writing clients/associates have strong internet presences, I strongly encourage you to put that mouse to work, and click a few links to purchase what they've got.

Also, Lulu.com, which publishes both the Airship 27 and Thousand Faces writing work I've done, is offering a 25% discount. The code is "CYBER305" at checkout.

Here's the linky links to stuff, in alphabetical order, along with my suggested offerings...

Airship 27 (Secret Agent X Vol:III, discount code CYBER305 )
Comfy Chair Games (My spidermech is still one of my favorite sculpts)
Critical Mass Games (Who doesn't need another platoon of Arc Fleet Walkers?)
Khurasan Miniatures (The Man o'War Grav Tank: great futuristic design, especially the SPA variant)
Rebel Minis (I just got in a platoon of Model 9 Biotroopers, and the new HAMR suit sprues are beautiful)
Thousand Faces (Volume 11, with "Avatar Reborn" in it, discount code CYBER305 )

Well, there you have it. Crass Commercialism, at its best. Make that wallet squeal!

Best,
JBR

JBR,

How do the ARC Fleet walkers compare to the HAMR suits height-wise? I've been thinking about working them into one of my forces.

A HAMR is about 1.8, 1.9 inches tall depending on options and pose. It stands on a stout base incorporated under its feet.

A CMG Walker is about 2.2 inches to the top of its main hull, unbased, with the crew hatch and pintle-mounted gun adding an 1/8" or so of height. Mount it on an 1/8th" base, and it's pushing 2.5 inches in height.

So, a sleight difference in height, but the CMG Walker has a lot of beef in its presence. It would make a great assault or heavy defense option to your force.

Best,
JBR

Here's a nice pic from Jeff Racel's 15mm Comp Skydrive...

The grid looks to be in Centimeters. A CMG walker equally based like these guys would be 6 and a half squares tall.

For more of Jeff's great folder of pics, here it is...

Lots of great 15mm scale comparison pics all throughout those folders, from a variety of manufacturers.

That was the first place I looked, but he doesn't have the CMG walkers up yet. :) I already have six Titan HAMRs, which I think I will be converting with Earthforce weapon sprues.

I like how bulky the CMG walkers look... they will probably end up in one of my alien forces. I'll have to pick up a few when I grab the new Light Recon and Augment infantry.
