Crazy question: Are there supposed to be 2 automatons in a product called Automatons (2):

http://www.reapermin...ns/latest/59015

Usually, in the minis world, a number in parentheses indicates the quantity, while a Roman numeral, or a number following the title indicates one of a series. Thus, I have always interpreted this product to be indicating there are supposed to be two automatons in the package.

Am I crazy?

Two in the package, yes.

You actually get two bodies in the pack, and a separate sprue with two different heads and three options for the right "hand" -- either a gatling-type weapon, spinning blade (pictured), or pincer claw (pictured). I love this pack, as it seems to fall right down the middle in terms of what could be passed off for steampunk (a la Deadlands), or for "rocketships-and-rayguns" sci-fi (a la Slipstream), with some simple differences in painting scheme. (That is, bronze or dark iron and glowing chest-furnaces for steampunk ... and for sci-fi, treat that "grill" in the middle as a place for blinky-light readouts. :) )

Plus, it's fairly easy to slightly bend the arms at the elbows, and add slight variety to the figures by head positioning and weapon choice, so if you get several packs of Automatons to make an army of robot-men, they won't all look exactly alike.

Thanks. Got my package today and only one body/base and the sprue in the pack. I'll send an email to customer service.


Thanks again!
