Discontinuing can also mean they are dropping the line personally. But yeah, I'd call them or something. Might be a glitch on their website, who knows!

I'd certainly be up for it! I can think of a couple of others who might be. Is it worth having an Open Day alongside it? I mean, I really don't know how many folks will get involved! I'll ask on the Facebook SST group.

Hi Guys, So, it's been 10 years since Starship Troopers was released... Is anyone still playing? Does anyone still have a collection of figures hidden away in the loft? I just got all mine out again and built the first bug for probably about 7 years. It's terrifying how long ago it was now...

haha! Good to see them. :)

Hi there Marc, just as I said on the Manta thread, great to hear from you again. The website is looking spiffy! You'll have to go on the show circuit again running Judge Dredd!!! :D

Nice to hear from you Marc, it has been a very long time. Found out your GW store opened a week before I was born, flicking through old white dwarfs!!! :lol: Anyway, yeah I agree, £60-£70. I know the Plastic GW baneblade is about the same price and plastic, but I can find a game of 40k much...

Yeah I was hoping for just the skyboard for say a quid or two, just to stick your own mad surfers on for a bit more variation...

Hi there, I wouldn't worry about your greenstuffing, the painting will hide any errors (I can't see any anyway!). Awesome painting, the gold could perhaps do with a highlight just to get it gleaming. These guys are starting to look like they got lost in the cursed earth for a couple of days!

Well with any pitting, metal or resin (it is much rarer in resin) you just need to mix up a milliput 'slip' and smooth it over the problematic area. Or ignore it and paint the damn thing! :lol:

Yeah I'm sure that would help. Some companies have even sold extendable flying stems in the past, which can be adjusted during the game.

I have to say, the new packs are interesting. However, I'm not massively keen on having more than one of the same model in a skirmish game... Any chance of selling the skyboards on their own as well? I'll certainly have to pick up a fattie stampede at some point soon...

The SSTEvo rules were awesome, playing it the few times we were able to was a delight.

Well metal, in the case of large castings that are not hollow, can suffer from 'cream egg syndrome', which can be really dangerous for the poor sods who have to pull it out of the mould. Basically, it can be cool on the outside, but liquid on the inside and very eay to crush allowing hot metal...

Sounds a little bit like my personality!!! :lol:

I use a base of GW Ultramarines Blue and make successive highlights by adding a little GW Bleached Bone until it is about 25/75 mix. I generally drybrush for the highlights, rather than highlight it normally, to make it look faded.
