Figures by Reaper Miniatures, with 3rd-party Lego(tm) compatible weapons.
In The Worlds In My Head, these are shock troops for a hyperspatial gateway hub.

Yes, Kalashnikov rifles are still the cheap reliable choice in the year [coughcough]78 AD.

These are not, but thank you, I'll take that question as a compliment.

Well, they do gibe me a healthy X-Com vibe and that is definitely a good thing. And the painting is really good.

Awesome. Great for an XCOM type game too. Loved the snakemen in the computer game.

Really nice work; I especially like the colour choices on the skin/scales.

...Yes, Kalashnikov rifles are still the cheap reliable choice in the year [coughcough]78 AD.

And apparently, so are RPG's...  ;D

My immediate thought as well!  :D

Hey Foggy,

From this link https://www.reapermini.com/search/snake+plastic/latest
And your pic above i see...
Nagendra Leaders, both of them in the top row.
Nagendra Warriors, the bowman (?) Used twice for pistols and the Nagata for the rest of the troop.
Weapons, from the Brick figures or Lingxuinfo.
Even the headsets from the same source.

But, which ones did you go for?
And you cut the joints to pose with the weapons?

I used one each of the two Nagendra leaders, and then a bunch each of the archers and spearmen.  I cut away the weapons and then the plug of plastic in the models' fists.  From there I could glue the hands onto the weapons in the appropriate places.  I needed to cut away part of the chest on a bunch of models to allow the pose I wanted.

In most cases the joints were flexible enough to bend where I needed them, and then they could be held in place when I glued down the weapons.

Thank you all for the kind words!

Froggy,

I didn't ask clearly enough before. I see the headsets are Lego as well as the guns. Where did you source your Legonsupply, Amazon?
