Scotia Minifigs

I went out this afternoon and bought a bunch of the Scotia Minifigs
in 1/300 scale and came away with this Gigantic multi-turreted
tracked behemoth of a tank!! Some of those Scotia castings are
god-awful but many (like the gun emplacements) look quite nice. The
infantry aren't as good as the Ral Partha Btech ones, but they do have many
aliens to choose from, which might be worth doing. I was incorrect in
attributing the organic tanks that came into my
posession this weekend to Kryomek- they were given to me by a friend
and I found some Scotia figures that match them stylistically, so they must be
from the same line of figures. Also, I picked up a bag of GEV tanks by
Fortress Figures that are plastic. You get 7 each of three types of GEV (Light
Tank, APC, Scout Tank) for $10 U.S. Not a bad little ad hoc force for DSII. I
think I'll do a game this weekend with that massive mother as a central
command unit and make it the scenario focus!! (did someone say OGRE....?)

Note that Although Scotia and Kryomek (a relatively new firm that now owns all
the rights to Kryomek game and figures. Have done for the last three or four
years) are different companys as far as the tax man is concerned, they share
the same workforce and offices (in short they are the same company on
everything except paper). It is not surprising that their lines cross over.

I was talking to a chap at Kryomek,  he said there would be a 1/300
Kryomek line some time in the future (but knowing how slow they are I won't be
holding my breath!)
