Sweet! I'm a long time miniatures fan, and even cast my own for a long time. I had a feeling these were coming down the pike as there was a thread about them looking for expertise on this issue. It was quickly deleted though. Can't recall who posted it.

I would love them, if they were the same level of minis that knight models is doing for dc and marvel. Better yet if it was knight models, because they are spanish.

This is their web for those who dont know them.http://knightmodels.com/

Thanks. I was having trouble posting them and then had to head out for the night. They appear to be in the early stages still. Not sure if they'll be painted or not.

Those are fun. @ValiantComics posted that the miniatures are 3D printed.

Thanks for posting those. :)

After the initial announcements I expected these, but I have to say those masters are of higher quality in terms of sculpting/design than I had expected. Now the key issue will be the medium they are finally cast in. Decent sculpts for tabletop games can be compromised with the wrong medium.
VEI - I look forward to you one day publishing MORE than 9-10 books per month

The miniatures said 2015. No date on the Minimates, I wonder if there will be more than just the one two-pack? A boy can hope...

I interviewed Randall Bills of Catalyst Games on the show floor. He talked about the miniatures and much, much more. I'll have the interview up on our podcast in the next couple of days.

I don't know anything about the mini-mates. I wish I saw them.
