I painted some of the Hydra Miniatures Robot Legion the other day, for a small teams skirmish game project I'm planning.

I love these sculpts, they were very fun to paint.

To compare scale, here is a robot next to the leader of another team, my 'Captain Vok' from Reaper.

Very nice!

And I like Vok. Hotshot pilot archetype for Fantastic Worlds?

They're splendid! I'm not normally a fan of cloaks in Sf, but here it looks just the part. The colour scheme is good too. All round top bunch.

Top stuff. Nice characterful minis and the bright colour scheme really sets them off well.

Damn, they're beautiful. Really enjoy your painting!

Wonderful job on those! I have a few of the robots, too, tried painting them up like Agis's blue ones. I really like your take on them and you choice of colors, especially. Nice job!

Very, very nice job on some wonderful and stylish models!

Thanks all, much appreciated

Froggy: no experience with that rule set, but that describes the character fairly well. Vok is the captain of The Starship Drowsy Wombat, from the Pangalactic Confederation of Planets. I have a variety of aliens for an exploration team that I used in a campaign of Empire of the Dead, running them as a Gentlemen's Club, exploring Earth in Victorian London.

The robots will be a team for a pulp sci-fi setting I'm calling 'Planets in Peril' that I may run a multi-player game at a convention in the future or for club game nights. There will be many different small teams.

I got some of the fun new aliens from CP, converted the leaders yesterday, they'll be from the 'Suzerainty of Phorus'

a bit of their background here:

Great colour choices and brushwork on those robots.

I have some myself and agree that they are fun to paint.
Nice conversions on the CP guys.

The only problem is now I feel the need for a Vok and some of those Avians, damn you!

What he said!

Are there any more Vok type aliens out there - in case he needed a friend or two?
