Question about CinC 6mm sci-fi range

[Rhoderic]

Regarding the “Solar Empire Marines” 6mm range from CinC, does anyone know what the miniatures that aren’t pictured in the webstore look like? I’m especially interested in the infantry: Militia, MARTAHK, GA-TAS-TER, Alien Mercenaries and Knights Guard. For a start, I’d like to know whether any of these infantry types (besides the Alien Mercenaries, obviously) are alien, and if so, what kind.

Also, more generally, any verdicts about CinC as a company? I’ve never ordered from them and they rarely pop up on my radar.

I wanted to buy two packs from them a few years back and after a long wait on e-mails I was eventually told it was not worth his effort to process an order so small.

[Rhoderic]

Well, that’s disheartening…

[Angel Barracks]

Yeah, I ended up getting them from HERE, had to wait though.
That was my first and last CinC order…

CinC have great, clean castings and dreadful customer service. I know the guy flys solo and that he has a lot of defenders, but the last order I made took twelve weeks, which was excessive, and the communications were practically nonexistent. A real shame, as I’d like to patronize CinC more but I can’t send money not knowing if I’ll ever get my order.

[Rhoderic]

Sounds like not only do we, the community at large, not know what the figures look like, we can’t easily find out!

I may still try to order from them, but sometime later. I’m interested in those infantry packs (sculpted by the talented Michael Lovejoy, apparently), but not so interested at the moment that I’d make a large order of them sight unseen.

If you plow through HERE you will find plenty of pics, just not sure whereabouts.

I bought CinC Cold War Canadian armour from a now long defunct FLGS. Beautiful casts not available from anywhere else. Can’t speak to service but the product was good.

Check my blog. I posted pictures of the militia, militia support weapons and some other sets not pictured. I don’t have a link as I am on mobile.

I ordered some SEM figures from their European stockists, mastersofmilitary.de.  I received my order about a week later and the postage to UK was quite reasonable.  They seem to have most of the codes in stock, just not some of the later releases, like the Alien Mercenaries and Knights Guards.

[Rhoderic]

Thanks for the guidance, everyone! Didn’t know there’s a European reseller.
