| ____________________________________ [Dec 11,2012 5:22pm - trioxin245 ""] Is there any kind of point to these miniature though? Like, why not just make cult of CTHULU miniatures instead of cult of 'octopus god'? Just seems like cheap imitations you'd see immigrants buying their kids from wal-mart on xmas. |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 11,2012 5:22pm - trioxin245 ""] I do like the historical minis though. |
| ______________________________ [Dec 11,2012 5:23pm - Yeti ""] they couldn't sell them under the Cthulu moniker, since it's copyrighted. |
| ______________________________ [Dec 11,2012 5:23pm - Yeti ""] i assume, due to the "Cthulu Mythos" thing. |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 11,2012 5:24pm - trioxin245 ""] So why make them then? Again, cheap imitations. |
| ______________________________ [Dec 11,2012 5:25pm - Yeti ""] true, they need to make miniatures no other toy company makes. i would love a mini-John Wilkes Booth. |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 11,2012 5:26pm - trioxin245 ""] Not trying to be a dick, it's just, wouldn't you rather just buy the real thing? Like this for instance... http://www.ccgarmory.com/caofctmi.html |

'Cause, not for nothin', but license holders often make shit product, and most of the "knock-off" companies are actually run by fans. You won't find these pig-faced orcs from any WotC vendor: http://otherworldminiatures.co.uk/shop/pig.../bs1-pig-faced-orc-tribe-boxed-set/ [img] |
| ____________________________________________________________ [Dec 11,2012 7:43pm - DMYA is ROCKS FALL, EVERYONE DIES ""] Like from OP's site: These "15mm sci-fi" minis are veeeery obviously Traveller figs, which nobody even makes nowadays. http://khurasanminiatures.tripod.com/15mmscifi-infantry.html And on that note, here's this guy: [img] TOTALLY NOT FROM FIREFLY (i.e., "Joss Wedon's Traveller, the Show, but we didn't pay for licensing rights"). The rip-off-er has become the rip-off-ee! And all is well with the world. |

Seems like most of their shit is for games that don't have minis otherwise (or at least games that don't have'em in 15mm, which most of their stuff seems to be). I know if I was running Aliens RPG, for example, I wouldn't wanna plonk down money for the original minis sets they put out (those are expensive as fuck on eBay, last time I looked). |

| ________________________________________ [Dec 12,2012 11:06am - punk potenza ""] yea thats why i freaked out over the "space demons" thats minis set is whicked rare and if you do find it some where there expensive as fuck and more than often if i do see them for sale there already painted. the eldritch horror is cool though i dont agree with trioxin the octopus people are kinda dumb. also did any one notice the pack of suviors from the zombie range? its def modled after the walking dead.... ricks in there as well as glen and dale lori and even carl hah. there is another cool sight i have been checking out for a bit called black cat bases. they have alot of cool shit. |
| ________________________________________ [Dec 12,2012 11:09am - punk potenza ""] also the first time i went into that game work shop store i was loling inside at the guy who worked there trying to upsell this kid on his 40K stuff he was trying to buy hhaahahaha i love geek shops. these kids who were playing the LOTR war game were calling my studded vest a "war vest" lol |
