Retro Sci-Fi

[Lost Egg]

I found this website yesterday and thought it looked quite cool in a Buck Rogers kinda way.

The ships for War Rocket remind of Flash Gordon. I like the Galacteer and Robot figs for Retro Raygun. Not sure about some of the alien figs though.

those robots are awesome! I love that whole retro style

I've always liked Hydra - great pulpy figures 
I particularly like the robots!

The Galacteer troopers are very cool too. They just need to do a Hawk Man race.

Apparently you should have got some from WargamesSupplyDump as they had some hawkmen in their 'Dick Garrison' range, but I'm not sure if they still exist...

[Lost Egg]

They are kinda cool but was thinking more...

I've always liked the look of Hydra too. they had a sale that just ended, and I bit the bullet and got the imperial fleet & zenithian fleet (saucers). I'm a sucker for spaceships, and justified more since they are a different genre   

I love the robots- they should be good for both 28mm & 15mm scale so I ordered some of the mini bots and one of the big war robots.

and I topped it off with the galacteer chimp: just too cute not to have.  he might become my mechanic in my Belgian army...the local group is gearing up for some light-campaign skirmish 'early weird world war II' and the army I've settled on is Colonial Belgian Congo sending an army to free Belgium and end the war, bringing about world peace through the integration of uplifted apes & other primates. So I'll have monkey & gorilla soldiers as the bulk of my force. Kind of an Island of Dr. Moreau meets Planet of the Apes meets WWII. 


This guy should fit right in.

There is no greater model then that of a monkey in a jetpack

if people are looking for pulp sci-fi, theres a company called killer B who do a nice range of mini's. they also do a line of 60's london cop themed miniatures. check em out! 

[Lost Egg]

Quite a funky range.

I see Retro Raygun are going to have a rulebook sometime soon.

I can't say I've bought any, but I agree with the commendations for pulp minis so far and would add Tin Man, Bronze Age, and Ironclad Miniatures as other purveyors of pulpy goods. I didn't notice the names till now

The murphidian miners from Killer B look great, but I haven't picked them up. I don't even have an excuse as they are pretty cheap...

[Lost Egg]

Not seen Tin Man before, some great figs there with some lovely dynamic sculpts; I especially like the riding beast in the blog. Ironclad and Bronze Age I've seen before, nice figs. Bronze Age also have some dynamic sculpts. I think the Leonides mini is very cool.
