I thought that it was an antenna?

There will be separate sniper units.

She doesn't have a backpack yet - but she will. I think you're seeing her communications antenna.

15mm has a lot Broader customer base. I recommend that.

Scout is looking good.

Just a minor suggestion on the stealth unit.... she's in a combat pose, with her hands balled up into fists. That doesn't say "stealth" to me.

Instead, might I suggest something more stealthy? Reduce or eliminate the wrist and shinguards, open her hands into a more karate kind of pose (it also suggests that she's sneaking around). And a smaller gun, maybe even something exotic like a wrist-mounted micromissile launcher as seen in Iron Man and GURPS Transhuman Space.

I'd also suggest making this permanently available on shapeways for FUD-- unpainted, you have an instant shimmery stealth field!

Meanwhile, what I like... That visor-style eye protector is gorgeous, and just screams stealthy to me. Ditto with the loincloth and light armor. The breastplate looks weird in a closeup, but at 6mm scale will be fantastic.

Regarding scales... I'm an avid 15mm player, but it is very well served right now. Khurasan, GZG, Rebel, CMG, and others are all producing some great minis (though few females) so the opportunity is limited. For 6mm, this is a whole new level of quality.

Hey, I don't like the visor, because now I can't see her 6mm scale pupils.

I wonder what is more popular - 10 or 15mm... I'm definitely not opposed to the idea...


I'd guess 15mm (though no one plays it round here. There are a number of companies out there but their minis are often really badly proportioned/posed though so these would stand out imho.

10mm seems to be growing thanks to Hawk (and Spartan are on the horrizon.)

I don't want to encourage you away from 6mm though ! :D

Like the scout, though i agree some more "stealthyness" would be good. My slight concern is that she looks a little high sci-fi - which would be good if the vertus hadn't gone steampunkish...

i like her high sifi look and the steampunkt look. is there room for single packs and army packs with the 2 different
concepts? but not to duplicate everything. i wouldnt want much changed on the scout if possible.

or, hi-tec assassins and sp'd regulars?

snipers in cloaks would be great.

Everything about the sisterhood range has been great so far, but...

I don't like the visor. I think it looks to modern or "high tech sci-fi". Not "grim dark" enough i guess.

Will there be a character/command set?

I like the visor myself. :)

You tell that to him. Tell him!

I side with Dave on not caring for the round goggles. My concern is that at the 6mm scale, unless you go in with a needle point and paint each lens, you're going to get a weird bug-eyed look. I doubt many of us paint at that fine of a scale - at best, most of us just do a wash.

A few things to note, reading back on the comments.

- The pose shown there is not one that will be used in the end - it's just there to show the progress of the base model.

- While I'd like to reduce the armor a bit more, she flat out needs bulkier legs for the model to be castible. As it is, I may need to adjust the scale once I see the prints.

- Same with the hands - I'm kind of stuck dealing with fists at this scale - fingers and even flat hands would be way to small to cast. As long as the overall pose gets the idea across, we should be good.

- There will be a command unit for the Sisterhood.

- I'm not going to shoot for Grim-Dark with this line. Slight steam punk undertones fits them quite well imo.

- That said, the visor could use tweaking - though these visors and goggles will end up so small it wont really matter much outside of fluff purposes really...

- I dig the "scope" goggles though - maybe something like that...

Have to say that I like the visors on a scouting unit. Strikes me as appropriate somehow. Scope goggles for support weapon sisters?
