Look for the little tykes version of the Star Wars skiff. A little bigger & more rounded than the one you have there. I have one that I am using for a Martian flyer.

You spoiled the surprise Herby ;)
That is in fact the skiff that I got for the Patrol Airship   :D

First few Quar painted...


I used earth terms for military rank, since they're translated this way by the men from the Blue Planet which are currently swarming Venus.

I love the blue and white scheme and the way you've painted them. It gives them an almost Foreign Legion look and is very VSF!

As a totally Pro Quar sort, from an unashamedly biased perspective, I'd say those are some UBERCOOL minis...VERY WELL DONE!

Wasn't so sure how well they would work out in a VSF situation.... but with your fluff and paint brush, you have me convinced!

Thanks everyone  :D
I enjoyed painting these.  I pretty much kept to the Zombiesmith scheme for Royalists, seeing those are what made me *have* to buy some Quar in the first place.  Their choice was brilliant and I couldn't imagine anything better.

Only a couple changes really: I went for a yellow-toned white instead of khaki toned white though, since I knew I'd be using khaki in the skin tone for about half the minis. Quar in the official setting come in a lot of different skin colors, but I tend to favor a limited pallet, so I wanted to keep the skin colors more limited and more similar, so with about half having khaki-based skin I knew the white couldn't have the same undertone.

Wasn't so sure how well they would work out in a VSF situation.... but with your fluff and paint brush, you have me convinced!

Thanks! I figured it would be a bit of an odd fit, but I'm liking it. The 'Planets in Peril' background fluff I started imagining a few years ago is a mix of VSF & Pulp, it kind of fits between the genres, so can function in either I think.  And well, I love Quar, so had to make it work  ;)

I found out about it too late to prepare for the first week entry.  I considered jumping into it, but knew that realistically I am just too busy on the work-painting schedule to make it happen. I plan to make a go of it for the League 6 (next year? not sure how often then cycle through).

Thanks everyone :)

Wish I could say I've had more progress to show, but there isn't much: long hours away from hobby time  :'(

the alphabet/day blog challenge is up to R though, so ready or not, time to show the Robots I made for the Quar army. I had hoped to finish painting them- they're close, but need some clean up, eyes & bases painted still.



I wrote up a 'how-to' on their conversion here:
