Don't know if there are any fans of Stephen Kenson's SR novels, but I thought I'd share a work in progress inspired by two of his characters. I used to play SR back in the day (late 80's) and am contemplating submitting work to the new rights holder. |

Didn't realize there was a connection to Duels, just read the novels. Well, yeah, I guess I had a vague recollection that they were commissioned alongside a new card game.
I'll be sure to post again when this is finished. If anyone is interested, I have a few more pieces I can post. |

"Action Figure" game, actually. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
http://pl.shadowrun.wikia.com/wiki/Cyberzombie_%28Duels%29 You can see pics of most of the figures on that page. They were cool, but at a 1:12 scale (About 6" for the human male figures), they were just too damn big to realistically be used as Miniatures game, plus the rules were a bit wonky. They'd have been a great Action Figure toyline if they'd have been a bit more poseable, but sadly the articulation was a bit... schizophrenic from figure to figure. Still better than most of McFarlene's toys, but... Eh. Bull |

QUOTE (Bull @ Oct 28 2009, 07:36 PM)  plus the rules were a bit wonky. Wonky indeed, especially as relates to board size. On the recommended 4'x4' board with default equipment the Ork bouncer and his cattle prod ruled the day, while on an unlimited board the Elf Mage or the riflewoman tore up the place with their insane range and mobility. I never tried to make a truly broken character by trading gear, though… ~J |

It's too bad the 3rd series of the figures never were produced. The Decker one looks great.

Actually, I think the Lothan character was based on an existing illo: the troll mage from the SR3 GM Screen. The description of the staff that he carries is spot on.

Cool action figures, not how I imagined the characters at all. Especialy Street Decon, I imagined Lothan being older looking but the artworks good.
PS: Wheres Kellan's necklase? I don't see it in the picture. |

I know I always favored smaller boards, or boards with a ton of terrain on them whenever I played my Khorne Chaos armies in Warhammer Fantasy or 40K (Especially 40K), same with my Growler army in Vor. On a large, open field, melee based troops tend to get shot to pieces. But if they have lots of cover and can close quickly..

The description of the staff that he carries is spot on. Yup, he was. I was just pointing out that most of the characters from the Wizkids books were from the novel line.

I don't see it in the picture. http://pl.shadowrun.wikia.com/wiki/Kellan_Colt You can see it in her accessories pile. That was one of the interesting things they did with the Duels line was the accessories the figures came with. Neat concept, though some didn't stay on well, or broke easy. :/ And I fudged my link up above a bit. Here's the main Duels page on taht site: http://pl.shadowrun.wikia.com/wiki/Shadowrun_Duels Series 3, down at the bottom, was never released, though I'd LOVE to get my hands on some of those figures. A couple of the later Wizkids novels featrued some of them (The Scottish Elf and the Decker are Bannickburn and his decker GF from Jason Hardy's novel, Drops of Corruption, for example). Bull |

I'll have to include the necklace. Been a few years since I read the books, so I'm fuzzy on a lot of the details. For some reason I always heard Kellsey Grammer's voice for Lothan, so I tried to give some of that attitude to my rendition.

Great stuff.
I, too, am a fan of Kenson's novels. For some reason, the first one in particular is my favorite SR novel. I own a bunch of the figs as well. |
