Are Prodos going to have legal issues over this?

Lo folk today I'm going to discuss something that isnt really my work.

Just  afew moments ago Prodos unveilved their new version of the classic warzone miniature Golgotha. the old version looked like this:


the artwork for her looked like this

Very 90's makes me think of Evil lyn from He-man so it was in dire need of an update.

and here's what they came up with.

Really awesome miniature, but as a few of you might have noticed she looks a lot like another famous sci-fi 'villainess', I like the change the question is of BLizzard entertainment will go for it

Compare


Yeah Kerrigans back spikes are more wing like (but wasnt in starcraft 1 as I recall) But bacdk spikes couples with both having some crossbreed between dreadlocks and horns growing out the back of their head smake them very similar.

So Blizzard, please dont sue Prodos we like this miniature and its not exactly the same.

Oh and a link to the Warzone resurrection kickstarter.

Til next time folks

The war never ends

Lo folks this time for something completely different.

Warzone resurrection. Some of you who did miniatures wargaming back in the 90s will remember the game of Warzone, a miniatures strategy wargame based on Targets (?) mutant chronicles.

Due to environmental impact mankind had to leave earth and massive companies funded the terraforming of the solar system, these megacoroparations then took control of mankind.

A while after settling the solar system a group of explorers travel beyond pluto and there finds the planet Nero, there they find and break the first seal unleashing the dark legion upon the universe.

the legion pits the corporations against each other then attacks them.

A great war is fought and in the end the legion is defeated a couple of centuries pass and everyone is sure the legion was a myth so they go to nero again. Wrong move, cue the same thing happening again.

This is the setting for warzone, the legion has returned, the corporations of Bauhaus (Germans/Russians) Capitol (Americans) Imperial (Brittish) Mishima (Japanese) and cybertronic (cyborgs) is at each others throats. meanwhile the brotherhood is trying to unify them (with force if nessecary) against the invading dark legion. 

The setting can probably be seen as even darker than warhammer 40k but is simpler since it takes  place just a centuries into the future.

Why is this important? Well its back again, the brittish company Prodos is doing a kick starters with 30 days to go, i would highly recommend shipping in on this at least enough to get the rules pdf.

Now if you'll excuse me i have a praetorian behemoth to assemble.
