The MERCS 2.0 construction continues with the sefadu! I've been a fan of the sefadu aesthetic since they were announced way-back-when, and assembling them in plastic was a real treat.
I'm really happy to have the sefadu Leader in plastic now! My old metal sefadu Leader model has had his spear snap off twice - though I admit I only used greenstuff and superglue, when I should have pinned the join as well.
Unfortunately, my sefadu Gunner did not come with a left arm, so this faction will be at the end of my painting queue until I can get an arm sent over.
While missing pieces are a bother, they're not completely unexpected - hopefully no other pieces are missing as part of my Wave 2 Kickstarter delivery!
Here are the sefadu from the Terminus Maneuver expansion, plus the Sniper, minus the Gunner's left arm.

Sync out.
I love the Sefadu models, especially the ones that look like they're speeding along. The Gunner is my particular favorite, though. I wish they had a resculpt of the sniper though, it's one of my least favorite poses in the game.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I love about the sefadu too - a lot of aggressive and dynamic poses :)
DeleteToo bad my Gunner was missing his arm though!
One thing I noticed, do they not have the Assault anymore? That model looks like he's walking on hot coals or something. I'm wondering if it "became" the Engineer or something, which is a much much cooler pose.
DeleteHas there been any news as to when these guys will be available through retail? I held off on getting them in metal since I love plastic way more and your reviews convinced me that the plastics have pretty good detail.
Do you mean the Medic?

I don't have any news on retail for MERCS 2.0 yet, but I think the plastics are great, and would recommend waiting for them.
There are a few reports of bad casts and such, but my experience with the plastics has been fine.
Yes, I only saw it listed as an Assault on Amazon, which now that I think of it doesn't make sense :)
ReplyDeleteYou're selling me on the plastics, especially for the new poses like the Shock Trooper... you don't happen to have that one too, huh?
I have an openly heavy preference towards plastic models over metals - that's just my opinion though!
DeleteThe Shock Trooper isn't available yet - it will be shipped to MERCS Recon Kickstarter backers that pledged for the All Your MERCS Are Belong to Us add-on.
No shipping date on that add-on yet though.
