IndieGogo Meiko Miniatures' Lizardmen Fantasy Football Team

Post by tzoscey »

another campaign, more fantastic miniatures

Meiko has started a campagin for its new team, Lizardmen,
http://igg.me/at/MeikoLizardmenTeam/x/2362463

you can see the models
http://comixininos.com/INDIEGOGOMEIKO/CARTELGRANDE.jpg

they are asking help to cast it, as almost green models are already sculpt. Sculptor is Pedro Ramos, which is a safety as his figures are gorgous , have you seen Vladamir? :D have you seen those saurus and skinks?¡¡

there are good discounts on limited early birds and reward goals seem pretty accesible.

I promised myself no more teams till I had painted the ones I have. This is tempting me no end though. :cry:

The 30 Levels nº 8 have been already claimed. No more Levels nº 8 available... but still many interesting levels available! Level nº 6 is a good example.

Hurry up if you wish to get the best offers. Help us to speed the casting process of these great Lizardamen sculpted by Pedro Ramos (a.k.a. Poncho).

In 5 days more than the 50% of the goal already reached. WOW!!! :D

I hope it won`t be casted in metal. Silicon is stuff just as hard and tends to get a lot less chipping color due to it`s use.

There is siliconmaterial that is used by dentists. I have a cast from an ogre head an arm at home and will put some pictures online tomorrow, so you can see what I mean. The material is pretty solid, but extremely light and flow into the castings very well. Of course, plastic would be as nice. The point is, in this boardgame, you touch your minis a lot. You lay ´em on the front or on the back, so they easily get a lot of usage markings.

I use regular acrylic paint from GW or Vallejo.

By the way, all "helmed" heads for the skinks would`ve been nice? I know, there is some, but I really like the helmed look of them. That is exactly, what gives em the Fantasy-Football feeling and they are modelled in a great way. In fact I think this is the best Lizardmenteam on the market at the moment.

Love 5 of the 6 Saurus (not #6), and 4 of the 5 Skinks (not #2).
If it wasn't for the fact of the Impact Sacros being available in plastic now, I'd have been all over these.

Kind of didn`t like the exact same minis. The lizardmen look really cool, just like some hulking brutes, but the screaming pose of No.6 takes the effect away. Then again, the Skinks look slick and sneaky. I don`t think the catching pose is that bad, but he looks into the sky, just like he is too short to reach the throwen ball. A look to the side would`ve added more dynamics. But hey....then again, I can`t even model a snowman....so my judgement has not to be taken that serious....

you can alway replace any skink or saurus you dont like with the starplayers options, we are great figures too.
I'm sure Meiko (and sculptor too) is reading all your opinions, so every thought is important to make them.

Darkson, Greebo Sarcos are a bit too small for me, i love the figures (baby crocs and leaviathan are really cute) but i find them too tiny to play well with them, they seem on a 25 mm scale. Meiko Lizardmen team is more classic in a GW way with very dinamic postures, if you dont like gw lizardmen race...

DinoTitanedition,i want to know more about that silicon material, here they (dentist) use some kind of plaster to make molds... i always find dificult to paint over silicon

I`ve sent you a picture via PM and can send you what I have left of samples vie mail. I will ask my buddy for more exact information on the material and get back to you. Paintwise I didn`t have any trouble. Simply basecoated it with spraypaint and could paint smoothly over it`s surface without any trouble.

I saw them, and picked them up, at the ARBBL a few years ago (the metal versions), and compared to the figures I currently use as lizzies (GW plastic Saurus and skinks from a couple of versions ago), they're bigger, so their size is definetly no issue for me.

Which team you prefer, Willy? The Sarcos or the Meiko's?

In my opinion, both Sarcos and Meiko's Lizardmen Team are great teams. The Meiko Team is the hot stuff now because they're new, but there will be one day that they won't be new, either.

Maybe the main difference is that the Sarcos are "Cocodrile-looking" and the Meiko lizards are more "just lizardmen-looking". I'm not saying that Meiko's lizards are better, I really love the "cocodrile-looking" of the Sarcos. I'm just saying the've got a different kind of looking.

Is like the "just Dwarf-looking" Black Scorpion Dwarves compared with the "Pirate-looking" Gaspez Dwarves or the "Biker-looking" Neomics Dwarves. All of them great Dwarf Teams, but with different looking styles.

The idea of Poncho when he sculpted these Lizards was sculpting the ultimate Lizardmen Team. If he achieved it or not, only time (and sales) will say. So far, the Indiegogo campaign is going pretty well, thanks to all our contributors. :wink:

Also, I must say that the Meiko Lizardteam team offers a whole range of miniatures and accessories, the widest range ever seen for a Lizardmen Team: 6 Kinks, 6 Saurus, one Big Guy, two Star Players, one Lizardmen Turn counter and four Lizard Girls (two Cheerleaders and two Bloodweisers). And probably a Coach, an Apothecary and a third Star Player. :D

I would like to see an option to buy 9 skinks tho. Then you can get a full rosta. My credit card bill comes in on 8/3. Will be hard pressed not to buy these on 9/3
