Title: Space Ourangs
Post by: Dr Mathias on September 26, 2012, 04:31:23 AM

I've had these painted up for a couple months and just now got around to taking pictures. Orangoutangs with advanced rifles from Sgt. Major miniatures. I like the threatening look of these guys, more so than the friendly sissy Jokaero made by GW :)

Hilariously funny and cool!
shame their weapons aren't more retro they will be great for a golden era sci-fi game.

They look great! I painted up a couple of those last year.

I was told by Sergeant Major miniatures, that they plan to do more poses and weapon options, but it is not on top of their to do list.

Great minis & great painting!

Those are tempting! Makes me think of the 'Uplift wars' by David Brin.

Thanks for the kind comments all. They were a very nice break from boredom. I find myself painting units of 10 or more at once, and it was refreshing to knock out two figs and be done with the group :)

Sgt. Major has some pretty cool figures that don't seem to get much exposure.

The rifles they have are indeed Hasslefree, which is cool if I want to arm some xenophile humans with 'Jokaero' weapons.

I just painted up one of those -- they are lovely miniatures and very characterful. Your paint jobs are a bit better than mine, though! :D

Bonkers, yet strangely appealing  :)
Nice paintwork champ!

Well, Matt, those took me by surprise!

Awesome look, and with a weapon change out, drop dead on other genre tables as well.

Well done! And, I'm really impressed with the expressions. Glowering malevolence to me!
