Re: Field Marshal Games Pieces Project Discussion thread

@Imperious:

yes prefer #1 pose. Carrier is great too.

We will include BOTH for variety on the game board.

Those infantry pieces are awesome. Are they really going to be two-toned?

Oh yeah the aircraft carrier is awesome too.

Cant wait until I am holding your pieces in my hands.

I can’t believe how amazing those infantry look. I’m so excited.

Then should they not be more different poses?

they are very close.

Good point IL.  Different poses would make it easier to distinguish if they are used for different funtion (such as standard infantry and commandos)

All looks great FM!

If its too late to change the sculpt (I’m sure that is very expensive) I don’t mind the infantry looking that similar, but if it is still possible to make changes cost-effectively it would probably be a good idea to differentiate the poses more to show off the amount of effort you guys put into this set. The 2 different infantry sculpts really are a nice touch!

Maybe one infantry looking down his barrel like aiming?

Those infantry are amazing! And the carrier is great to! Can’t wait to get these.

FMG-
Those infantry look great, but i have to agree two very different poses’ would have been better but i will still buy them reguardless! love the commander piece and the carrier is awesome! Thanks for sharing and i look forward to the next preview.
Thoes426 :evil:

Fantastic! Agree with the others on the poses but I’m in no matter what. What’s this all going to cost again?

Wow!!! Amazing detail- these are looking great- when will the preorders be for the entire set??  Ready by Thanksgiving/Christmas??? :-)

All I can say is that the folks at Field Marshal Games are setting a new standard for high-quality Axis & Allies pieces. Truly excellent work!!

Yeah the poses are very similar.

Oh wow, FMG, I love them! I’m personally not bothered about a 2nd Infantry sculpt; one’s enough for me. But yes, variety on the game map will look nice. Seriously can’t wait for this!

The tank was good, the ships are nice, I’m not much of a naval guy so they are less impressive to me, however those infantry look incredible!  If you keep this kind of quality through the entire set then I’m sold!  These will become my defacto playing pieces just as the Combat dice are now my defacto dice.

Great work!  The poses are similar but it doesn’t bother me.  Looking forward to more!

Once again an excellent job on the sculpts FMG. Each time you release a preview i get more excited to give you my money. Keep it up.

@Imperious:

Yes exactly, the second pose should be airborne infantry.

I agree. At least the second pose should have another type of gun. If the first have a rifle, the second should have a submachinegun or something.

How about a submachine gun in one hand while throwing a grenade?  That would be quite distinctive.  How about a panzerfast <sp?>?</sp?>

The basic options I see are:

1. Shooting
2. Advancing (basic A&A pose)
3. Marching (rifle over shoulder)
4. Special weapon
