TehPW Posted December 30, 2019 Posted December 30, 2019 Is their goal to try and get some battletech players to purchase some of these minis for unseen play? Quote

Stampeed Valkyrie Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 meh, I am on the fence with these things.. I played RT RPG tactics a handful of times, and the big chore was building them.. But did I play it enough to justify the cost of admission at $10 a figure... probably not. Quote
anime52k8 Posted January 26, 2020 Posted January 26, 2020 That... actually looks pretty good. Kidslogic needs to slow their roll right now, my brain can't handle the cognitive dissidence of seeing evidence of effort and competence being associated with Robotech. Quote

Well, we have a really nice Dana and battle armor figure coming from the other manufacturer so hell already seems to be chilly... Aren't the Masters Saga mecha smaller though? Or is that the Invid? They would be maybe a half inch high if done to 1/285 scale? Quote

Is it just me or do the VF-1s look funny to anyone else? For some reason the proportions, especially of the foreground one on the left look off to me. Quote

Yeah, they're proportionally much smaller, and the Invid scouts are smaller yet. The Cyclones would be positively tiny in that scale, but I want them so bad that I'll be willing to overlook such silly things as "scale" and "proportional", much like I do with Transformers Quote

Now I can't unsee it's stubbiness. Quote

I’m not sure. I just think that they’re just paying homage on the classic Macross images. Which IMHO, are also not proportioned and not correctly perspective. Edited January 28, 2020 by no3Ljm Quote
TehPW Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 It's been DECADES but I still remember building that kit in 1984 or 85... Quote
Hikuro Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 Hm, they’re neat looking, better looking than the last minis we got with rpg tactics. but I don’t need these unless I see a solid game behind it and even then, people need to be playing it. Quote
Pontus Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 Uh, hmm... letsee, how big would a 1:285 scale SDF-1 be? Well, that would take up a whole room at 14’, but I still want these. Not sure I want to paint them tho. Quote

It’s not 1/285, but someone here already made something back in 2018 for his RT Tactics Tabletop Miniatures that fits on his table. Quote
CoryHolmes Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 Hot damn, I wish I had that kind of dedication and follow-thru! As it is, I've only built about half of my RT minis so far... Quote

My first minis game, and I was pleasantly surprised by the final outcome. I had a blast setting them up on my Metroplex and recreating episodes of space combat Quote
Convectuoso Posted May 11, 2020 Posted May 11, 2020 I'd like to get that one, @sh9000 The minis of this line are fun to paint. I've gotten all the Zentraedis and the Destroids, except for the monster Quote
jvmacross Posted May 23, 2020 Posted May 23, 2020 I'm surprised no one has made a custom outfit like this or even the full zentran battle armor to fit onto a generic 1/6 or 1/12 figure. Quote
Convectuoso Posted May 23, 2020 Posted May 23, 2020 I'm so getting that one. I really like this line Quote

Skull Leader Posted October 12, 2020 Posted October 12, 2020 Deploying my thread resurrection card... Don't suppose anyone has any images of these mounted on standard battletech hex bases do they? Considering a few to use for "unseen" designs along side more modern sculpts. Also, who's ugly sister do I have to sleep with for them to do a strike valkyrie variant? Quote

Considering a few to use for "unseen" designs along side more modern sculpts. There's a topic over in the models forum I started where some people are sharing pictures of painted models. I don't recall if any are shown on hex bases. The earth mecha (barring the Monster) are all default provided with 32mm-ish bases. They'll work fine on Battletech hex maps. Or, if you want to shave off pegs on the feet of the models and mount them on Battletech hex bases, I'm sure that will work too. The Valkyries, Tomahawk, Defender, Spartan, and Phalanx will all fit in quite nicely with Battletech. The Battle Pod bases are a bit too big for a Battletech hex, and they models themselves are definitely out of scale for Battletech Ost-mecha equivalents. The Glaug is on a WAY too big base for Battletech and in terms of scale would possibly be large even for a Marauder II assault mech. Quote
Skull Leader Posted October 12, 2020 Posted October 12, 2020 I was mostly concerned about the valkyries and tomahawks... so that works for me! Quote

This has piqued my interest. I love the RT Minis I've already got, though they're the last product I'll ever buy from Palladium. It'll be fun to see what others Kids Logic comes out with! Quote
