Erm.....
I'll post a piccy later....
Cheers - Phil.

Sounds even more intriguing now! Probably worth it's own thread to keep this one on-toppic for Warren!

I wouldn't get too excited Meirion !
I have my doubts as to whether Leon would actually want to waste a part of a mould in pressing it.
It's only legendary 'cos Lemmey's the only one that's seen it.
If you've still got the pic Lemmey....You have my permission to embarrass me by posting the photo !
Cheers - Phil.

SF28, for those who've always wondered what the mounted lizards with lazers look like:





The colors should jive with my terrain pretty well.  Gray rocks for the gray mounts to have evolved to hide in, and blue lizards that evolved among the blue plants of the red planet.  Bigger shots of these are available on my blog: http://warinabox.blogspot.com/2012/08/empty-queue.html

Just realised - in amongst the thread-jacking - forgot to say fantastic work 

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Wow - those are really great Mounted Lizzies!
_{(Sorry about the jacking, probably my fault)}

No worries, guys.  The asides are half the fun of these threads, after all.  Besides, these mounted boys are the last ones in my queue, so I won't have much to add to it myself.  At least until the next shipment arrives in a few weeks...

Shipment in, painting done (on part of it).  That means it's showtime:

SF3 - Marines with heavy weapons:


Cheated a bit on this one.  These are British snipers from the Modern/Falklands line:

The gillie suits are universal, and the wrappings on the gun mean they could be any sort of rifle - energy, plasma, whatever.  They're sci-fi now.

And I fixed up the armored Marines a bit, too.  To help identification, I painted the faceplates bright green and put big red logos on the shoulder pads.  This way, when you're looking down on the table, it's easier to tell tell how much armor they have.


Looks like I'm going to be running Tomorrow's War, so there are game differences between guys in light armor and guys in medium armor.  The green means medium armor on my table.

Great stuff! Heavy weapond and armoured troopers really look low down and industrial!
Would the snipers benifit from being more 'blended in' ie 'pinker'? The military camo stands out a bit (not like they can hide from yoyre predetors anyway).

[Leon]

Excellent, especially the new heavy weapons, Techno did a cracking job on those so it's nice to see them brought to life!

I really do have to get a new brain.
I'd forgotten all about those !
Great work 'Warren'.
Cheers - Phil.

Yeah, I thought about just painting them in the ground colors.  With the unique shape of the figs, you'd still be able to tell what they are, but I've already done that trick with the !Predators.  Also, I figure it's a military outfit - the guys in logistics gave them the regulation black uniforms, and the snipers were like, "Uh, how'ma gonna blend into red dirt in this?"  Some things never change, you know?

They weren't what I was expecting.  The refurbished of the line has caught me off guard a couple of times, but I really do like them.  For those who don't know, the turrets come separate from the gunners - I just glued them together on a base like that.  The turrets would work just fine as stand-alone automatic gun towers.
