I used to be a massive SST fan (and still am). First off, I think its great mongoose are doing miniatures again, and am looking forward to if/when they do a military sci fi rpg of some sort. I vaguely remember them mentioning they may do something of this nature at some point in the (hopefully) not too distant future.
So what has happend with miniatures since?
AT43 died sadly, along with their parent company (a prepainted miniature game)
Privateer Press seems to me to be going from strenght to strength
Games workshop are doing fliers and resin instead of metal (copying an idea what mongooose brought into sci fi minis combat games in my opinion)
FFG are bringing out a miniature game of Dust Tactics (as opposed to a board game using miniatures, which look real cool)
Mantic games are about to bring out a sci fi game
So with two companies already bringing out miniatures sci fi games, will Mongoose follow in their footsteps? Personally, I hope so. If they do, I'm looking forward to what might be done, and the possibilites.
