Title: Indian Automaton
Post by: Lowtardog on January 05, 2011, 09:33:17 AM: I saw this on Frothers today, by smart max and I think they are a larger scale 54mm or some such but thought that this would be ideal for the likes of messr Bullshot or Thunder pigeon

Well it is a mechanical version of a deity of death, isn't it? :)

I love it.

Post by: Skrapwelder on January 05, 2011, 08:30:09 PM: I believe one of these will find its way into my Ottoman VSF army.

I have an old Kali-ma statue on the dashboard of my car.

Post by: YPU on January 05, 2011, 08:45:52 PM: Very creepy, very nice. If the model turns out to be the wrong scale that might be a problem with the skulls, but then one could paint them to be a form of metal or perhaps even crystal (might leave a bad taste tough)

I think I will end up buying it if its anywhere near decently priced.

Really? Historically defensible or mere whim defensible? As I'm embarrassingly ignorant of the Ottoman Empire, I;m not challenging, just curious; remember I'm the fellow who wants VSF dwarves in battle in the mountains of central Europe. ;->=

Okay, horrifically scary as the statue is, THAT image will give me trouble as I drift off to sleep...

Mere whim defensible. I have not totally set it down but my VSF Ottoman Empire is to be a bit more expansive than the historic one. I also hope to include some Lovecraftian elements as well.

That is incredible. Sounds like it's time to start a Thugee army.

Where on Frothers did you find it? Is it for sale?

Post by: Chairface on January 06, 2011, 10:13:54 PM: I dunno. If I was doing an Indian Mutiny VSF army I might consider it, but I can't say that I'm a huge fan. No particular reason. It kind of looks like General Grievous with a hindu mask on.
