Same amount, if not more, work on models, same amount for rules(they are afterall basicly same...). Don't see where they would save time compared to BF: Evo.
There is no such thing as right or wrong scale. Matter of taste and size of battles you want to represent.
BF forum.first topic,first page(or is it2nd?) the difference between the first images and the ones that are on the website now. it's quite appaling to tell the truth, we can only hope that the ugliness doesn't spill over to the SST(or that they'll fix this till the game premier) :roll:

I very much doubt the SST:EVO miniatures will be better than the AT:43 models if this is anything to go by.
But by the gods I hope these new pictures are some sort of mistake...

I always thought the original 'production quality examples' were too good to be true. Maybe a factory trying to impress with it's first batch and making promises it couldn't keep?
Well, remember when we waited for LAMI models and the plastics turned out to be a pile of cock?
Mongoose sold excellent metal minis at a loss to make up for it.
So, going by the amount of anticipation we've had for Evo, I reckon a proportional response would be to have each EVO mini hand carved from the horn of a white rhino and painted by the queen
Honestly, have you looked at the eyes?
If it was for any other game I'd be laughing.

Gotta be a mistake though.
Give them time to sort it. Problem is, I've boxed up all of my SST stuff in preparation for playing this instead, no point finishing the £100's of unpainted minis we bought when pre-paints are on the horizon.
But now?

I don't think its a mistake really, the technology just doesn't seem to be ready yet, considering both Rackham and Mongoose have failed to raise the bar any further than each other.
They base coats definatly better than hero-clix I suppose.

I haven't given up painting, just now I'm concentrating on really good models. So I'd rather buy pre-paints for the bulk of a force and keep my painting for models I really want to do justice to (only so much time i'm prepared to spend on identical faced cap troopers).
So, no incentive to paint 40 cap troopers or another 60 bugs not when I've got urban war and confrontation stuff sitting there waiting.
Having said that, this latest lot of pre-paints have just deadened my enthusiasm completely.

I agree 100%
I like to paint, but I don't like cutting corners or painting minis 'quickly' if you know what I mean. My main issue with SST was getting around to painting the models as I never found them hugely inspiring, but loved the game. Pre-paints would sort this for me, as I could concentrate on those I do like... exo's, overseer etc....
If I've got time to paint, then I want to paint something I can be proud of when I'm finished, I've never been a fan of painting just so I could put models on the board. If someone else is prepared to do an 'acceptable' paintjob for me, then fine. I wouldn't spend my time on it. I don't have that much spare time.
Pre-paints allows me to get hold of gaming pieces without having to invest time in assembly and painting.
I don't have time to paint models to play evo. If they weren't pre-paints, I can't see me (or my group) bothering.

Wow those new pics of the BFE stuff kinda disturbs me. I had some high hopes for this game. O well just means I'll be playing AT-43 instead. Heres hoping Mongoose can get its act together for SST cause I enjoy that game a great deal. On the up side both Rackhams Prepainted minis and Mongooses can easily be touched up in short order. One thing I will give to mongoose is their minis seem to have more dynamic sculpts. Considering that every one of my OD White Stars looks like hes on guard duty.
