It's likely that no-brand versions of these are already heading to discount stores. Worth keeping an eye out for, especially if you plan to convert and paint. No need to pay higher prices if you do...
@Mark Dewis its interesting that they include 6 of head 21 for 5 bodies. I understand that you can use them with the regular cannon fodder but I would have rather had another unhelmeted head. ...
The ones with hair are most useful for me. But the bald heads are good as bases - a bit of quick putty work and they have coiffures. Collars can be trimmed if needs be. 21 is a unisex head. I can ...
@William Ings More like an exo-armour.. 😉
I remember seeing this https://youtu.be/i50CX9z51AM on YouTube a while ago, does it count as power armour? Probably needs to have legs. But still cool.
I plan on using Heads 85, 84, 83, 82, 81, 78, and 79 for the actual Cannon fodder girls. They will be convicts. Heads 3, 76, 35, 75, 74a, 73 and 72 will be used for fantasy conversions. That...
Using stainless steel agitators from Army Painters.. no trouble about so far. But since I am lazy, I do steal marbles or other small glass balls from wife's jewellery crafting stocks (as alo...
@GreenScorpion Using them to depict minions of a Endtimes Cult under the yoke of a Star Vampire (a funky monster taken from Rogue Trader book bestiary) alongside some Fantasy Mantic and Star...
@Geoff Maybury I agree... I've bought a Quin Jet a few years ago as a storm-shuttle for my Iron-Core-troopers... in a forum on the Inet I have seen a picture from a aircraft conversion for a...
@Steven StGeorges I also prefer the plague versions of the models, they give a more raider/pirates look and that is a good thing for me. The plague zombies are also a nice kit, despite some ...
@Selrahc hasnt been back in a while and looks like no new vidoes on his youtube channel. Still really interested in the pistol conversions. I took some screen shots from the video.
@Benjamin Hayward If she comes apart as eisally as the Quin Jet toy. I recone youll be pleased with her, it`s nice to make your own transport. If you can tweek the inside, and that cockpit, to take...
@William Redford ..or Inquisition Stormtroopers.
@Estoc Great thing about toys is the model is strong, fastened mostly with screws, and as opening clear canopys. If you wish you can paint them black which works, or remove the incorrect scale inte...
@GreenScorpion Only models from the Plague range are appealing to me ... at the moment, especially their version of the Mule and the Hornet. Editorial Salvat do belong to Hachette Edi...
You guys might have noticed I`ve not posted any photos of my work space , thing is at the moment its portable, its a black tray with a large lip rim so nothing falls off. I take it to the kitchen. ...
@Steven StGeorges Mantic's stuff is nice, my only issue with their models is somethings have lower quality than others, but overall they have relatively cheap stuff that fits the sci-fi settin...
@JTam Intriguing but conceivable.. just look at the world of Armaggedon and her equatorial jungle.. surrounded with industrial wastelands. Just need to recover old Jungle Fever articles fro...
@GreenScorpion Mantic's Hornets are clearly a lovely flyer, and less expensive than GW Stormraven and co. Deadzone is a range full of funky things and stuff. Looking at previous pictures, I...
It has been said a couple of times that my hobby space is so tidy. But is it really? I decided to clean up my desk, and "install" another shelf (another offcut I had from my wargaming board). Do ne...
@Benjamin Hayward thanks! In person he looks a bit more like he set off a dye pack robbing a bank but I'm going to go back try to nail that white saturation for keeps. @Yronimos Whateley there's s...
Thanks for your research on this! These would be fun to paint. Actually, that XL-07 looks oddly familiar... The color scheme's even really close to the Vic Viper. At 12 bucks, I might have to pi...
@Yronimos Whateley Actually the SW AT/ST was mostly used as a Warhound proxy back to the Old Days.. https://spikeybits.com/2015/05/star-wars-titans-40k-flashback.html Tony Cotrell wa...
Nice work! I'm cool with the sort of Victorian Sci-Fi thing that the Grognards and Bulldogs would generally fit right into., but I think I really prefer this sort of souped-up post-apocalyptic WWI...
Nice find - given a new coat of paint and a little weathering, these two don't look half bad for '70s style sci-fi in the vein of Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, and the Buck Rogers TV series, whi...
I was watching some of the gameplay for the new starship trooper RTS, seems like they are drawing on all of the movies (not sure about the cartoon).
@Benjamin Hayward Indeed .. could be added to the upcoming Oh Rah DF team without any problem... I feel some "aliens" vibe could be easily added to that ship. 🧐
@Brian Van De Walker Warlord's Celt, Imperial Roman and Caesarian/Marian Roman sprues are their own creations, though you are on point with Immortal Miniatures being the creators of their Hoplite s...
Weapon wise, I'd be looking at four weapon hardpoints. Usually pods on each shoulder which could be missiles, nukes or mines, a large calibre weapon and a flamer (arm mounted) for close in work. Ma...
@Grumpy Gnome Probably the best thing that Fallout 4 brought to the series, I spent most of my playthroughs in the power armour but you always had the option to dismount when stealth was needed. E...
I agree with@Stephen Sutton. Put a jump pack and shoulder mounted weapon systems on that as well as a wrist flamethrower and I think I have my favorite image so far of Heinlein’s MI power arm...
@John Wilson I'm not sure that I would agree that it falls into the vehicle category. It is a single object that closes around the wearer, but I don't think that disqualifies it from the category o...
Fallout 4's version of power armour would be the same in that its essentially a vehicle operated by the trooper rather than an armoured suit.
The USD$12 for a single Marlburian cannon frame from Warlord is reasonable. Why the box set of three is $38.50 (or conversely, why the single frame is so cheap) I cannot fathom.
Right on, they look really great! Dig that sweet object-source lighting, really sells it!
No Grognards in sight! Going for a weird-war/post-apocalyptic vibe, low tech with a few jarring exceptions, so mostly Great War French with a few Death Fields bits and some choice GW parts. They'l...
@Mithril2098 They're a work in progress, I'm pretty sure. (or who knows, perhaps they'll be modelled that way and have a choice of different muzzles on the sprue?)
According to Amazon, it's 12.5" stem to stern: d here's a fellow's video review for it. His hands look average-sized, so it looks right about the size I'm after! https://youtu.be/Dr1QQHoe...
@Estoc This is true. There are two Armadillos, the one pictured is the large one and there's a smaller brown one. Next time I'm at the store (if they have it), I'll check it out. ...
Saw them during vacations -wife was taking pictures while I was lurking around toyshops.. Gonna order some thru' amazon.ca or maybe while paying a visit to the nearest walmart supercenter. W...
The difficult thing with kids is they vary in size a lot. It looks pretty big to me, but scale is hard to tell from the picture.
Given how much interest this thread has generated in a short amount of time, I think it's worth trying to get a consensus for a specification for this [potential] kit. Size/dimensions: There...
My brother and I have been looking at the spaceship toys for the new Buzz Lightyear movie for Sci-Fi gaming. He picked some up and took some scale-comparison shots; they look pretty good! Ma...
And it's time! For once, I am way early and with that; here is V0.14 of Magic and Tech. Unit cards have been updated as well as upgrade cards and new ones have even been added. Rules have been twea...
@Stephen Sutton https://www.deviantart.com/flyingdebris/art/Mech-suit-177173677 This guy was the designer. Its also pretty much an update of the Maschinen-Krieger design, so you could probably come...
@John Wilson I'm pretty sure the company no longer exists, and they only licensed the design, so someone else could probably make one if they paid whoever designed it.
@Stephen Sutton They did (probably), but no idea if they still hold the license.
