Armed with highly sophisticated unobtainium powered rifles, these Prussian Jagers snipe at enemy steam tanks and land ships with great succes.
So great succes that Britian has actually comitted a protest to the Bureau of Fair Overseas Endeavours that the rifle be declared ungentlemanlike and banned.
EDIT:
A photo of the back (taken before the above ones obviously)

Like it. What's the backpack made from? It looks familiar.
-
Nice!
-
Very nice.

I second Dewbakuk.
-
Oh I want some lol

Ace. :-* :-*

Those are shipmodelling something something. I think they go in the rigging.
EDIT: Oh and nice you all like it so far! :D

So much more obvious when you know, thank you. Still think it ingenious though.
-
Now I just have to find out how to colour these bastards. I'm open for suggestions!!!! o_o lol
-
Very nice models. :-*
A simple conversion but very effective.

I have the same question?
-
Very, very nice and very original. Superb stuff. ;D
As to your uniform design, I like the brown wash the tunic has, how about something worked around brown, with black shako black boots and black euipment?

Oooopf! Sorry didn't see that one. It is in fact an arm from a Games Workshop Epic Stompa (plastic kit from the days of yearn).

Hmm. Yes! Perhaps I should just go with the thing I started a while back and let them have brown coat, white pants and black gear/hat. The rifle will probably light it up.
How do you guys feel about fire effects coming out of stuff? Like the firing soldiers - would it be nice to have som rays coming out of the gun (similar to the ones Mr. CigarFace has done with his Indians).
I can't really decide. I always thought that miniatures shouldn't look too "actionesque".
-
I say paint one up with the fire affects and if you like it keep it up.
-
I added a photo taken from behind so you can see "the bit" a lot better. This was taken before I added the guitarstring and nozzle-bit.
-
Destroying nice Stompas pffffffffff..... ;D
-
These are outstanding! Can't wait to see them painted up.
-
These are rubbish and I dont like them one bit!!!
JUST KIDDING!!!! Hahaaaaa! ;)
These are superb!!! Try the brown colour scheme and see how it works.
It's hard to tell if the fire effects would work, I wouldn't use it on my figures but that's purely a personal preference. Give it a go and see how you feel, it should be easy to undo if you dont like it.
-
I think the fire effect will probably work ok, it is not like a bullet from a rifle, so it would be ok to show the extraordinary effect of the unobtanium...
Anyway, there is holes in the rifles, so you can always make some rays which can be taken on and off...
-
:-*
Great imagination and execution!
My Venusian Prussians will be painted in tan and black. It's a nice combo.
Whatever why you choose to paint them, certainly looking forward to see the final result.
-
beautiful
what's wrong with the leathery brown?
should be some colour that can take a lot of soot from the fire
-
Not thrilled about the idea of flames or rays coming out of the end of the gun. But what if you glued a wisps of cotton fuzz to the business end of the gun as if smoke or steam was floating up after some hot fire?
-
I think this is how I want them to look:

(bases not done yet... )
As unobtainium is highly reactive all the parts in direct contact with it needs to be made from gold, which by some token of weirdness it does not react with.
-
He looks great! My first though was 'wow, he found someone who'd done the same colour scheme' then my brain kicked in :)
Very fast and impressive work. As for why gold doesn't react to unobtanium, it's probably the same reason Nemo's city was covered in it, it doesn't corode in the same way as most metals.

True. It's the king of metals.
Unless you pour a mix of HCl and HNO3 (3:1) over it ;)

Please no chemistry :'( :'( :'( I hate that subject.
It works because this is VSF and you say so.
Great stuff :-*

I didn't know Vitamin B1 was caustic to gold :)

That is going to be a great looking unit!
Super mod and paint job!

Who makes thouse jagers anyways?

Wargames Foundry in their old FPW line.

very nicely done
-
Lovely paint scheme! They are going to look fantastic.
I have a bunch of the same minis on my desk at the moment, getting ready for service in my Dutch VSF army. (pre conversion of course)
-
I have to agree these are great figures. Imaginitive conversion work and very attractive uniform colours.
I particularly like the guitar string idea - loads of potential uses for that!
