Nexus Miniatures: Retro Booster Promotion
Nexus Miniatures haben ihre eigene Variante eines Kickstarters am Laufen: die Retro Booster Promotion.
Die Retro Booster Promotion ist eine Vorbestell-Aktion, bei der je nach erreichtem Vorbestellungs-Ziel weitere Sculpts freigeschaltet werden, wie man es von den Stretch Goals eines Kickstarters kennt. Als Einblick nicht nur in die Miniaturen, sondern auch die Retro-Hintergrundgeschichten einige Beispiele samt dem Text aus dem Shop:
Sub-Finem & Imperatorem – Machine Empire Commanders – 28mm Scale
The Machine Empire uses many Human Minions, all are turncoats on their kind and Work for the betterment of the Machine God and bend all to his will.
Two Such Minions are the Sub-Finem and the Imperatorem. The Sub-Finem are Unit Commanders, generally in charge of no more than a Dozen Men. The Imperatorem are the „Generals“ (for want of a better term) and can lead anything from a small Skirmish Force, to a large army of „Equitum“ Troopers.
Equitum Troopers of the Machine Empire – 28mm Scale
The Equitum Troops of the Villainous Machine Empire hail from the far future in the S.D.Z.A. Universe, and the Machine God of the Empire (in typical movie trope fashion) has started sending its expendible Human Troops back in time to ensure the Machine Empires Future is safe (assuming the heroes of the „Future Force“ don’t stop them).
These Models are created using the „EZ-Build“ system, rather than separate arms and weapons (which, lets face it are a pain to assemble at 28mm scale – especially in metal) we opted for separate torsos, legs, and heads only. It still gives a large amount of variation for each model with rotation and the fact different torsos can be used on different legs – but isn’t a pain in the ass to do (like when the arm sticks to your fingers rather than the model LoL).
You get 4 x Equitum Legs, 4 x Equitum Torsos, and 4 Equitum Helmeted Heads – and a FREE Sub-Commander Head Sprue for the duration of the Retro-Booster Pre-Order Promotion.
Future Force, five Teenagers sent back in time to Save the Future – 28mm Scale
When the Machine God decided to use all his might to ensure his Dystopian Future was safe by „tampering“ with the Time Line, the Future Initiative (the Super-Powered Guardians of Mankind) assembled a special force, who travelled back in Time using their Time-Glider to keep the future from descending into a Machine Ruled Hell.
Marcus, Doc, Rani, Popinjay, and Chunk ARE „Future Force“ – Five young adults with the powers, training, and technology to keep the future from happening – „Saving the Future, From Itself“!
The Red Sector Cleanup Crew – 28mm Scale – White Metal Miniatures
4 Ex-Miners turned Rescue Operatives, they get called in whenever things get messy.
As part of the Pre-Order Set you also get three „Splutter-Bots“ – normally a separate purchase, one of which (who calls himself Steed for some reason) will ONLY be available to purchase as part of this Retro-Booster Offer – remaining stocks will be only made available as part of other promotions or at Shows.
Vorbesteller-Preis: 19,50 GBP (Regulärer VP 19,50 GBP, aber ohne die 3 Bots)
‚The Strangers‘ plus their Arch Enemy, the Demon Gorgon! – 28mm Scale
4 Adventurous kids, including the Mysterious Psychic „Elle“.
The set also comes with the Strangers arch-enemy The „Demon Gorgon“.

Auf Facebook wurde auch gezeigt, was als nächstes freigeschaltet werden kann:
The I.D.D. (Initiative Defense Directorate) Troopers are a familiar sight in the Worlds Hot Spots – whether acting as Support for the Primes of the Initiative, or as support for local City Defense Forces I.D.D. Troopers are always on hand to help.
Sculpted by the extremely talented Carl Stoelzel, the I.D.D. Troopers and I.D.D. Command will be the next „Unlock“ (should we get there LoL)
Im Shop gibt es natürlich nicht nur die Vorbestell-Artikel, sondern auch eine große Auswahl bereits verfügbarer Miniaturen.

Die Stranger Things Minis sind ganz nett beim Rest bin ich mir nicht so ganz sicher. Hab das Gefühl das die anderen Helden auch Anspielungen auf Film und Fernsehen sind kann es aber nicht zuordnen.
Neben den „Stranger Things“ Minis, die echt cool und nach einem echten Pflichtkauf aussehen, erkenne ich noch „Battlestar Galactica“ und „Mit Schirm, Charme und Melone“. Der Rest ist mir auch sehr fremd.
Das ist alles sehr lecker. Wirklich coole, verrückte Scuplts, die genau das bringen, was der Titel verspricht („Retro“).
Wenn es sowas jetzt nur für 15mm gäbe…:(
Buck Rogers mit Twikie!
Das Future Force Set ist ne Hommage an Gatchaman…
