Suggestions for the C3V

Uniques - 70+ figures
Uncommons - 120+ figures
Commons - 175+ figures

Obviously there is some wiggle room in those numbers, but that's a good rule of thumb to use when making suggestions for us.

Is this info stickied somewhere? It would be helpful if it was. (Were?)

And note on the 175+ for commons, that's per-model--so each model in a common squad needs to have an availability of roughly 175+.

Awesome new figures announced from Pathfinder: Russians!




Yup, straight up WWI style Russian soldiers from the next Pathfinder set (which dips into "fighting Rasputin" as a plot point). An area that never really gets attention in miniatures... I think the gas-masked guy would make for an AWESOME filler hero for Vydar! Give him the same Grenade Special Attack off of the Airborne Elite, maybe some snow-and-ice bonus or something with his gas mask, fairly low stats... that's be awesome.

Lady-with-a-Machine-Gun no doubt has some applications as well.

You mean Wrath of Winter? I only read through the first section of the Adventure Path, but it deal with Baba Yaga. Did they really have a more modern part of the adventure in Pathfinder?

They're not exactly official numbers.

True, but a rule-of-thumb / in-the-right-ballpark / metaphor-that-means-you've-got-a-pretty-good-guesstimate would still be helpful, for folks who aren't as involved in the project but see a cool mini to suggest here, or have a potential SoV submission. Just a thought.

I suppose I could edit that info into the OP of this thread, if I thought anyone would see it there.

"Were" is correct. Past subjunctive (condition contrary to fact).

That would be great! Just so it's not buried away.

Perhaps a flock of Ravens?


Only two to a squad, I know, but if numbers are sufficient for the Pathfinder Crow, I can see a "Multiple Squads" per booster type scenario, like the Zombies. They would also need to have a swarm or flocking power. Being only crows I think they'd only have 1 attack/defense die.
