Substitutions are fine, after all that’s what I’m suggesting with the Eureka miniatures, because there is no Traveller logo on it. The Void militia figs are fine and nicely done, I have some, and I can think of even better figures out there, both in production and out of production, but they are just substitution. I have seen people fantasy role play with 40K Eldar figs, why because they thought they looked cool. I’m old fashion and miniatures nut, I like to match scale and Tech level. Sure I could use the Star Wars Jedi figure, after all it’s cool figure, but light sabers and robes just do not fit in MTU. I could get some Battle Fleet Gothic figs for space ships, or I could use pennies, all I can say is to each his own.
I have a lot of figures in my collection, I can even cast my own, but I’m always looking for more. I look at the Traveller Martian Metal 15mm line and I’m envious of the diversity of selection, but unfortunately the quality of the sculpting is not up to today’s standards. I guess I’m a miniature fascist, all I want some normal character figures without huge guns, skimpy skirts and big-breasted women, the girlfriend always complains, pointy ears and power armor with massive shoulder pads.
Full Thrust is a great game and I like BITS work in general.
