This issue we have our first look at<br />

figures from Excalibur Miniaturen in<br />

Germany. They produce fantasy and<br />

sci-fi figures as well as a couple <strong>of</strong><br />

skirmish games. The first thing you’ll<br />

notice with these figures is they have a<br />

slightly larger than normal plastic base.<br />

Overall, flash was almost non-existent,<br />

but mold lines were visible and needed<br />

just a little filing.<br />

To the upper-right you’ll see a young<br />

lady that is very proud <strong>of</strong> what mother<br />

nature (or her plastic surgeon) gave<br />

her! She is packing some guns, and I<br />

mean that in any way you want to take<br />

it. What little clothing she’s wearing is very form-fitting<br />

and she even has a belly-button ring. She’s wearing a set<br />

<strong>of</strong> goggles that looks more like headgear than bionic<br />

implants. This is a very cool figure that would fit perfectly<br />

into a Necromunda gang or could quite easily be used as<br />

Covert Ops Specialist in Warzone. If you’re playing<br />

Inquisitor with 32mm figures then you have a very good<br />

bounty hunter or assassin on your hands here.<br />

Randolph Siss<br />

Randolph Siss is a<br />

mutant and a<br />

mean looking one<br />

at that. The model<br />

was a clean<br />

casting and<br />

required almost no<br />

cleanup. The pose<br />

is a little flat, but<br />

does give him an<br />

image <strong>of</strong> being in<br />

the middle <strong>of</strong> a firefight.<br />

You can tell<br />

he’s strong, but<br />

he’s not bulging at<br />

the seams. His head an neck have several connectors<br />

for bionic bits. Facial detail is good and up close you<br />

can tell (and it would stand out well when painted) that a<br />

lot <strong>of</strong> his head has been replaced with bionic parts. He<br />

could quite possibly fit into a Cybertronic army or in a<br />

Necromunda gang if your not using him for Fearless.<br />

The little bugger at the top-right is Drill Master Sergeant<br />

Folkner <strong>of</strong> the Maygons army in Fearless. He’s about<br />

the size <strong>of</strong> a goblin and has tons <strong>of</strong> character. The<br />

model itself had a very small bit <strong>of</strong> flash that needed to<br />

be cleaned, but the mold line was not visible and there<br />

were no defects present. He’s wearing a trench coat, a<br />

rather large helmet, fatigues, and combat boots (that his<br />

Valerien Bourmont<br />

12<br />

Mother probably gave him). In addition to a couple <strong>of</strong><br />

pouches and a belt he has a nice medal pinned to his<br />

chest. This, and the cigar in his mouth, will really help this<br />

model stand out when painted. A rifle and pistol finish <strong>of</strong>f<br />

the model, but he’d be great just standing out there with a<br />

bad attitude and harsh language. An awesome model!<br />

Outside <strong>of</strong> Fearless the most obvious use for Folkner is in<br />

Warhammer 40K. He’s cool enough to be leading a unit<br />

<strong>of</strong> Orks.<br />

I-Core 7 is a<br />

rather large robot<br />

that is part <strong>of</strong> the<br />

human army.<br />

The model is<br />

much taller than<br />

a ‘regular’ 35mm<br />

infantry model<br />

and comes as a<br />

9 piece model,<br />

including its<br />

base. It went<br />

together easily<br />

and does not<br />

require pinning.<br />

Drill Master Sergeant Folkner<br />

I-Core 7<br />

I got it to hold together just fine with superglue. It has<br />

more <strong>of</strong> a sleek appearance rather than a hard edge to it.<br />

There are three guns on the model (small, medium and<br />

large) and a double missile rack for your killing pleasure.<br />

A few minutes were needed to clean up the model, but it<br />

was nothing excessive. The I-Core 7 has a lot <strong>of</strong> uses in<br />

other games. It could be used as a combat droid in<br />

Inquisitor or maybe even pass as an Eradicator<br />

Deathdroid in Warzone.<br />

At the top <strong>of</strong> the next page you’ll see the first <strong>of</strong> two alientypes<br />

from the Fearless game. First up is one that initially<br />

reminded me <strong>of</strong> the aliens from the movies <strong>of</strong> the same
