ArtCrime Productions New Figures

Here are some new and upcoming 15mm units for ArtCrime Productions.  Yep they are at it again!

ACP Games,

An interesting figure has appeared on the radar from ACP Games. Not sure what he will be called, but I like what I am seeing.  Hopefully we will see it in metal form soon.  Other news from ACP Games comes in the form of new resin tanks.  Jimbo has been pretty busy remastering some of the larger vehicle sculpts with new designs and integrated bases.  Early next year the Makat will be getting a large walker type to boost their ranks.

ACP Games

Here are a bunch of Comparisons of the ACP Games line of figures. Really like them. Love the rules.

ACP Games, Millenniumcon

Just got back from Millenniumcon in Round Rock Texas. It isn't the largest convention, but it's a lot of fun. Had a great time talking with Jimbo from ACP Games. He had a sweet setup showcasing his miniatures, a great staff helping and a really nice demo table.

Got a chance to try out the Valkyrie (Beta 2) ruleset and I must say, it might be one of the best 15mm rules sets out there.  The only downside to the rules (Unless I am wrong) is that they are only written for the ACP Games miniature line. Meaning it doesn't have the ability to create your own units.  Still you can easily use proxies with the currently army lists and have a brilliant game.

What really stood out was how the assault rules worked, objectives, cover and the use of command points.  We weren't using all the rules since it was a demo, but for a convention, it was perfect.  The rule set gives the player tons of options on what to do.  The command points really spice up the game and make the game feel much more interactive.  The command points in the demo allowed you to call in artillery strikes, bring in reinforcements, rally troops and bump up your  initiative rolls.  In the demo the way to gain command points was by controlling any one of 3 objective markers.  Each objective was worth 5 command points.  Command points are used after each round.  I used them mostly to call in artillery strikes (3 command points) on targets I wanted to assault.

If a unit takes a casualty during an artillery strike, they are considered suppressed.  A suppressed unit is a much easier to assault.  In the game I did find that you don't want to tangle with Valkyries in CC.  Even when suppressed, they can sometimes (actually did) kick butt.

The game also allows for pre and post measurement, so you always know your enemies range bands.

Some of the new AA Valkyries and Tanks.

Makat Army including Eldars, Hunters, Jaguars, Bombard Missle, Scouts.  To the right there are a bunch of walkers.

ArtCrime Productions, Valkyries

Here are some comparisons of the new ArtCrime Productions Valkyries.  The Valkyries are power suits and yes are operated by troopers and not robots.  It is a little hard to see in the picture, but the knee joints have space for feet in them, so it is like the trooper is walking on stilts.  I asked Jimbo about this and when he explained it to me it made sense.

ArtCrime Productions, First Releases

Proud to present the first releases from ArtCrime Productions.  The figures are way better than I ever anticipated.  Jimbo and the rest of the crew did an amazing job.  Really like the look of this army.  The Jet bike has sort of that Star Wars storm trooper feel to it.

The figures were all cast in high grade pewter and look amazing.  The Valkyries come with 2 arms and a weapon, so you can make various poses.  People who might have thought the figures would be too big, will be very happy with the outcome.  The figures have loads of detail on them and were really well cast.

The initial prices for a squad are going to be the following
Valkyries - $20
Bulldogs - $15
Infantry - $20

There is also a rule set in the works and being play tested at present.
