This particular box has 3 different miniatures from The Great Empire, including a sniper from the Marksman Platoon, infantry from the Storm Troopers, and super Ogre-style model from the Uberman Squad. These were built as true-scale heroic models, having great proportions to the scale.The sniper here is holding her rifle over her shoulder and a pistol in her other hand. They are positioned on a 32mm base. The detail in the miniature with the cloaks, respirators, gas masks, and more are fantastic. These miniatures are definitely flashback to World War 2 with their amazing detail. The Ogre-style miniature is on a 40 mm base and is holding a double barrel shotgun in the steampunk style plus a shield that used to be a bulk-head door.

The Empire of Men game will contain 2 different factions: The Great Empire and the Echelon Dominion. Both factions have distinctive looks, with the Great Empire being more steampunk/WW1 and 2 style and the Echelon Dominion having more of a Xenos feel. The game is to be set in a dark future where historical battles have a sci-fi twist and battles continue to rage.

Heavy boots, thick leather coats and gas masks worn by everyone – that’s The Great Empire in the nutshell. What they are lacking in physicality, they will compensate in calibers and amount of shots per minute. As World War One rages on mostly on their lands, toxic warfare resulted in whole zones being inhabited by mutated people, who eventually serve as Ubermans. Nothing is wasted in Military Industrial Complex of Great Empire.

Inhuman sleekness, terrifying effectiveness and cold calculation are Echelon Dominion‘s traits. After mandatory “Echelon Civilian Enhancement” government programs, can no longer considered as “human”. This is not a decision taken solely by The Great Empire, but also by the Echelon, who see human equating to weakness. Where other forces deploy heavy infantry, The Echelon deploy Constructs. Where other forces face fear and suffering, they welcome challenge and seek to prove themselves. Their purpose is unknown as they don’t fight solely for the purpose of land, honor or survival but whatever their plan is it will end current era for mankind for sure.

The Empire of Men can be currently found on their Kickstarter site or at Archon Studio. For the full unboxing and detailed look into these sci-fi miniatures, press play on the video below.
