Official - GZG news: UNSC/H Hardsuit Marines!

A quick news update on the 15mm figure line.....

We're in the process of completely RE-SCULPTING the UNSC/H Hardsuit
figures (the guys with the classic "teardrop helmet" look), and should have
the first two or three packs ready for launch shortly
after New Year. If you want to see a PAINTED SAMPLE of the new-sculpt
figures, I sent a sample casting to one of our regular customers and he liked
it so much that he painted it immediately and posted it on his blog (thanks
Harold!):

The reason for announcing these a little bit in advance of their
release is that, unlike our previous range re-sculpts and expansions,
this time I will be DELETING the original packs of Hardsuit troops
(SG15-U01 and U05) from the store when we release the new ones.
Although the new figures are the same as the old ones design-wise,
they are sufficiently different in style, proportion and weapons details that
they really are replacements rather than additions.

The original two packs WILL still be available to special order, the moulds
are fine and I can cast them as required, but they will not be listed on the
store to avoid causing confusion to new customers. So, if you have a force of
the old type figures and want some more to add to them, just email me and I
can sort it out, but if you haven't bought any of the old ones before then I
would recommend waiting till we launch the new figures very soon.

All the best,

Cool Beans!!!!

Any chance of seeing any pistol small SMG armed figures in either these new
figs or the Soft/light UNSC figures?

Hi Evyn (and all),

There may be some UNSC/H figures with sidearms when we get round to
command and weapon crew packs - for the UNSC/L guys there already are
- several of the figures in the SG15-U23 command pack and the heavy
weapons packs (like the U28 mortars) already have cut-down
carbine/SMG versions of the standard infantry rifle.

I believe the term-of-trade nowadays is a Personal Defence Weapon or
PDW, isn't it?
