[IHMN] In Which the Blogger Receives His Meridian Miniatures Kickstarter Figures

A couple of days ago, my long awaited figures from the Meridian Miniatures Kickstarter showed up in the post.


While not at the highest level of support, I chose two infantry sets and a specialist set.


I also ordered a separate set of energy rifles - these will be Model 1895 Higgs-Rothersey ARC rifles.


The specialist pack for my level of support contains two officers - I wanted the great coat clad officers and troopers as I really like the painted examples on the Meridian Miniatures Kickstarter site. You can also see the head sprues for my infantry sets.


The first head sprue has diving-helmet-like heads.


The second head sprue has these vaguely guards-like crested helmet with breather mask.


I ordered two body types for my infantry - firing line ...


... and skirmishers. I intend to mix the two body types together. I intend to end up with one squad of infantry with the diving-helmet heads - troopers for Captain Nemo - and one squad of infantry with guards-like helmets - Okhrana troopers to be commanded by either Olga Petronova or Feodor Sonavavich.

I will remove the base slottas on these figures and mount them directly on washers, my preferred basing style, as I have done with other slotta base figures.

  1. Nice look forward to see these built up as the crews you intend!

    1. These should be fun to paint up. At the moment, I'm envisioning Nemo's and Petronova's crews as subcontractors for Doctor Cornelius. Though, I have my eye on a second-hand warjack that would make a great deep sea diver and that might let me spin Captain Nemo off as a separate company.

  2. Looking good young fellow-me-lad.
    In one week's time you shall be able to survey our version of the Okhrana :)
