I was refering to the Infinity Vargr proxy, I'll try to update my blog with some scale pictures for reference with the Metros and others. I took a few scale shots: http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/blacktemplar33/Sci-Fi%20Miniature%20Scales/Infmetogovoftech.jpg...

Those miniatures are huge, you could be better off looking at Black Hat miniature at the Cobalt 1 line and the Ar-men, only problem is pants, but thats better than a giant, IMHO. Somewhere on the net is a review of the M5 blister with a scale picture of the dog warrors, very similar to the...

GW Necromunda figures from the Van Saar gang make the best space suit proxys. I bought so many figures from CBs Infinity game that I just started to play it. Check out the Metros for great Traveller figs as well. My VanSaars...

I absolutely agree with you about the quality if the SW pre painted minis. I have had to cast my own in resin, this way I can remove the flash, change arms and heads and resculpt details that the soft original plastic made impossible. I have ranted before about no Minis for Traveller and...

They had the license; there haven’t been any new miniatures from them in some time, and what one’s they had left where melted down. The Bawps where the last.

I just don’t buy the License confusion as an issue, to much money involved, and it’s a convent excuse to feed fans. I have seen game publishers at GAMA, dissemble under the guise of “customer services,” not knowing I had friends in their ranks who had already told me the truth. Let alone...

I still can’t figure why Mongoose can do Judge Dread miniatures and not Traveller. Is Judge Dread outselling Traveller, or is this some pet project of the owners.

Back tracking a little bit, I have noticed that any attempt to replace a good GM with Rules is destined to fail, sorry. A RPG is not a wargame or a boardgame, it should not competitive. If there is no trust between the GM and players, no sense of comradely, that is you are all in this game...

I hate revisionist history, it gets just so confusing, and I’m not a newbie. It would be better for all if the Traveller universe just jumped ahead a hundred years and dealt with the rebellion, virus and rebuliding in a cohesive manner. Conflict breeds drama and adventure. Can you think of a...

Scale is another point, how do you get people to buy new figures? Scale creep it’s inevitable, and we are all victims of it, like planed obsolescence but by, using the quality of sculpting and the promise of continuity, you lessen the sting of having to buy new figures. So, I don’t blame...

Let's sing this shall we, we have Hasslefee, Haresey, Infinity, Black Tree, Darksons, Reaper, Grenadier, RAFM, Wizkids, Wizards of the Coast, Denizens, i-Kore, Ral Partha, Ironwind, Martian Miniatures, Mega Miniatures, GHQ, Sim-Teck, T-Rex, Stan Johnanson, Laser Burn, Dr. Who, GW, and Mongoose...

That’s one of the reasons we don’t have Licensed Traveller figures, it always you can make due, with this one here or there, or you can just modify this one. Are there substitutes, yes, but should we really have to? I’m have rattled off substitutes and websites for many on other sites, and I...

I can live with any system, but if you want me to buy new stuff it had better be good. For the most part I have decided not to buy any “new” Traveller stuff unless it’s good and supported with miniatures. If, we the miniature Traveller gamers are told, there plenty of miniatures available...

Why? That’s the first thing I thought of. Sorry, to be a wet blanket, but there are no licensed Traveller miniatures being produced, so why produce licensed expensive ship layouts for miniatures? Please tell me there are going to be new licensed miniatures?

The biggest problem I have with the existing miniatures lines is scale creep. Can you find SF miniatures for Traveller, Yes, old and new, but there scales are all over the place, from true 25mm to 30mm of the Rachkham, Star Wars and Reaper Chronoscope, all the other older scales floating around...
