Just an FYI I did hear back from Andy regarding the giant mosquito models from Heresy Miniatures. He took them out of circulation because of a mold problem which causes a lot of additional flashing to occur on the models. I asked him if there would need to be any sculpting skills required to fix the problem if I ordered some and was told that wouldn't be necessary (outside of normal gap-filling as with any model).

So, if you don't mind taking the time to remove a lot of extra flash bitz from the models you can get blisters of 3 mosquitoes from Heresy for 6.00 GBP per blister.

P.S. I haven't yet received the two blisters I ordered, but once I do I'll update this thread with the actual condition of the models. Not sure exactly how bad the additional flash bits will be until I see them.

Does he not like money? I'm trying to purchase product

orders@heresyminiatures.com ?

check your spam folder; andy's mails go in there for me

i have a grand total one 1 Heresy mosquito going spare

willing to trade for the gremlin with the banjo, first come first served

Nothing in my spam I might just have to try and mail him again...

I sent an email to the address listed on the Heresy site for support to get info on these minis but haven't received a response in the week or so since I sent it. Does anyone know of a better way to contact them?

Heresy Mosquitoes .. OOP at the moment as Andy had mould trouble

i think i have 2 knocking about but would need to check :blackeye:

That's perfect! I'll have to email him and see when they might become available again, if at all

Hello all,

Just recently entered the game and adopted Somer as my initial Master. I have to say that I'm loathe to buy 4x Giant Mosquito models I'll need because they are rather overpriced for what you get, the sculpt is pretty lousy, and they don't even come with some kind of proper flying stand to prop them up. I was wondering if anyone knows of any other miniature model ranges that offer some kind of giant flying insect that would be a good stand-in for this model?

Thanks!

Eeeewww...

Sticky Gremlins...

:laugh:

On a vaguely related note--I recently used the Gremlin Taxidermist and the Pigapult in the same game (with Som'er as master). Loads of fun.

I had Som'er do Git Yer Bro twice, using the same Gremlin to summon for both, resulting in a dead Gremlin generating a Corpse counter. (Hopefully I didn't miss some rules thing on this. I think I got it right. If anyone knows otherwise, please let me know.)

This trick let me crank out new Gremlins and generate ammo (via the Taxidermist) for the Pigapult.

I was against Seamus, so being able to grab at least some corpse counters away form him (as well as using the ones I deliberately made) was great. (I also had a Mosquito to Sooey the new-made Stuffed Piglets back towards the Pigapult.)

I wound up getting my butt kicked (bad tactical choices for the Gremlins I sent out to attack--it was a mutual slaughter scenario), but it was still loads of fun.

Another interesting tactic I was musing on the Pigapult involved Ophelia and Pere. Activate Ophelia first and use her action (name escapes me) to let another Gremlin activate after her on the Pigapult and also trigger Pere's Companion (Kin) ability.

Once Ophelia finishes her activation let the Pigapult launch Pere. If he dies you still get his on-death explosion for Dg:4. If he survives he'll get to immediately activate in the middle of a massed enemy to great effect.

Not sure if that's exactly how that works though as I'm quite new, so I might have missed something in the process there that is illegal.

Additionally, this could work in conjunction with some Stuffed Piglets if you're running Somer as your Master and just bring Ophelia along for her good looks

Slop hauler is not to be underestimated. Although he looks initially a tad unexciting, the ability to reduce any model's defense to 4 is going to fix giant holes in the crew.

Namely, what the HELL do you do about Lilith up in your face, wrecking your shit.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I had played just my 3rd game last night and ran up against Perdita. There seemed there was nothing in my arsenal to deal with that massive Df:8 other than to try for Stuffed Piglet/Mosquito pulse damage. I was getting close to giving up my Gremlins as a bad job before I ever really got into them! I will definitely have to try this out!!!

Thanks again!
