Yet another Prepainted game (but a good one!)

[MaxSteiner]

These are from a french board game called Tannhäuser http://www.takeonyou.com/spip.php?rubrique20, (All info gleefully ripped of frothers) based in a world where WW1 never ended. The models look amazing, but I havent had the chance to use my pathetic french skills (Or slightly better babelfish skills) to get some more info.
This is actually the way I saw prepainteds going though really.
There lovely sculpts and if they actually look like that Im gonna have to buy a copy language barrier or no!

They look cool, but technically, if WW1 never ended, the attrition would have killed all males.

Well there could be lulls between storm where there's no official peace treaty but each country is rebuilding their armies

Not true- by the end trench warfare had been beaten by mass tanks, defense in depth, assault troops, raiders, creepign barages etc.

Seen these before- great if they werent pre painted.

Top right hand corner of the page, there is a little flag - click on it and it changes the language on some of the pages.

Well you'll notice that there are female combatants amongst the models, so its kinda a moot point isnt it?
Incidently, did anyone ever read that story where advancements in transplants allowed WW1 to continue indefinatly (Since all the governments involved had agreed that a state of perpetual war was actually a better way of runnig the world), I can't remember for the life of me who wrote it...

Cheers for the info Lt, I might have to check it out after this weeks Welcome to the NHK...

Xeoran did you see them in the flesh as it were? (maybe the flash haha oh wait its not funny...) theres at least five of them I'm desperate to own... gonna have to lok on Ebay, I was thinking of getting the Game of Thrones boardgame with the last of my free cash, or maybe take a chick out, but I'm begining to realise this is a much better investment

Better invstment?
Duh!

These figures are very cool. Things keep on looking better on the pre-painted front.

If she's rich, take the girl out. Much better long term investment.

Hehe dont have to tell me that, that's my life plan
In the immortal words of Groucho Marx "Will you marry me and are you rich... answer my secound question first"

But even so, a boardgame which I'll never be able to read the rules of, let alone play, bought solely for the purpose of sticking a couple of models on a shelf... sure is tempting!

Just had an Email back from William Grosselin of TakeOnYou -

HI,

we hope that Tannhäuser (english version) will be available at the beginning of the next year.

thank you for your comments

William

That news has made me very happy

 

[xeoran]

No, I havent seen them in a flesh but I know a guy from the French mag Ravage who said the pre paints werent great (compared to AT-43 and SST;Evo, better than 'clix).

 

[5.56 Surgeon]

Well, if the scale is right, I found my new SICON Military Intelligence officer. He looks bad ass.

 

[Kristovich]
