  G’day from the Slave Dungeon, Today’s release has been a long time coming, some of you had heard at the local shows that this range was being made, but then Covid and a whole heap of other things got in the way of its release. Well, the 1:48 scale WW2 Pacific figures are finally available now from Slave 2 Gaming.
  
  Mike Broadbent has sculpted these 3 forces of the Pacific war, in a scale that is amazing to look at on the board and is perfect for small scale skirmish games. The first 3 packs that are shown here are the complete packs for each of the three forces, The US Marines, the Aussie Diggers and the Japanese. All these packs contain 14 metal miniatures and cost AU$85
  
  Next, we have the individual packs. Mike has broken down the forces into smaller elements in case you want to expand your force from the 14 figures of the complete pack, or if you just want to run different options. The Below 3 pictures show the Marines packs, six different options in all. Then the Aussies & Japanese have 5 different option packs.
  
  For these and all of our other products, check them out at http://www.slave2gaming.com

  I’ve been a big fan of Mike Broadbent’s work for years! A long while back, he did a commission for me for some SciFi miniatures, in 25mm. I was immediately hooked.
  .
  Granted, I’m already biased, as I’m already familiar with Mike’s work. Nonetheless, I hafta say, I am particularly drawn to the Aussies and Japanese in this range. I must admit, however, that all of these releases are a temptation.
  .
  I’ve always liked Mike’s natural proportioning, and the way he handles textures – like cloth, or even flesh. These miniatures have a believable, natural look to them. I could see myself painting these in dark tones, to indicate a steamy, moist, jungle environment, and just as easily painting them in light tones, to denote a dry, dusty environment.
  
  Sculpting them in 1:48 lends itself well to skirmish wargames, but it also opens up a wealth of 1:48th scale model kits to supplement one’s core, Slave2Gaming force. If I’m not mistaken, O Scale railroad scenery should scale well with these, as well.
  .
  I expect that a great many of us Grognards will be starting a new Pacific War project, immediately!

  …and I think I need to contact Mr. Broadbent about more SciFi minis!!!
