These minis are printed from Wargames Atlantic's Rebel Yell infantry as well as the heavy support set. Printed on a Mars Pro. Here's some back story:
Cpt. Nathaniel B. Wallace and his company of fighters are veterans of numerous engagements both on the N. American continent and in Europe against the Germans during the Second Great War. With the proliferation and use of super bombs the world has fallen into a post apocalyptic ash waste and Wallace and his men have offered their services to the highest bidders from the Gulf of Mexico to the Great Lakes. Their engagements involve supply foraging, protection work for local politicians, caravan escorts, and even some more direct engagements, hiring out to various warlords in their territorial conflicts. The ultimate mission for Wallace and his men, though, is to find a home for themselves and their families to forge a new people, to worship, to live, and to thrive, in the midst of a wild and post apocalyptic world.
@Andreas Mayrhofer this contest is for Atlantic digital content, not plastics unless using Atlantic digital pieces for conversions. What is from Atlantic Digital in your entry?
@Lord Marcus oh my bad. I didn't realize that you only have to use digital sets. No native speaker here. I'll delete the entry.
@Andreas Mayrhofer No problem. It could simply be a headswap with a 3D printed head from atlantic digital and it would be a valid entry. :)

@Troy Cook Non European troops - nice.
Do a 2nd run, re arm them with Rensissance torsos & weaponry rather than Bulldog and you have a crew for use with the Frostgrave Ghost Archipeligo rules (and a second entry for the Fantasty part of this comp).
(Indeed you could use the torsos off a Ghost Archipeligo crew box as a basis )
I've used CF1 plastics with Perry Afghan heads to make up a south asian Xenos rampant detachment on similar lines. No MMF or digital bits, so I fall foul of the same issue as Andreas for this comp.
3d Printed some Death Field Arena Security for use in a Space Station scenario for one of my games. Printed on a Mars Pro 2. Part Speed paint and part traditional dry brushing.

Title of entry - Ruby Valkyries
Description of entry
Had these beautiful valkyrie models printed up and painted them up in this red metallic paint I had (A friend pointed out they have the same scheme as Optimus Prime from transformers, I guess I know where I subconciously got the colour scheme for then!) They're gonna go with my WIP Einherjar team! I wish the Einherjar had more options either plastic or digital but these Valkyrie are pretty cool and will be great fast and elite troops!
