Title: WW2 as a space opera
Post by: The Gray Ghost on May 16, 2013, 08:03:35 PM

I've been toying with this idea

Americans?

British?

I think the Germans as robots is amusing, even if it might not go down well...  ::)

Sounds like a cool idea. I like the robots.

I would think that after being portrayed as either zombies or satanic, robots would be a step up.

What's wrong with being a robot? Efficient, methodical and unemotional. Can also say "I'll be back" a lot of the time.

Looking forward to seeing how this pans out.

Isn't Star Wars a WWII space opera LotR crossover anyway?

Surely "Ich komme wieder."?  :)

There'd be a great addition to the Germans with the figure in the centre: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AgTRjwJt6sI/UTZnK30GaKI/AAAAAAAAADI/piaeI6yJWzY/s1600/evil+geniuses.jpg

I've not embedded that as it breaks the no-swas rule.

The top figure (way up top) is a KillerB protectorate guard, I painted three up in olive drab and black shoulder pads and they look pretty good I want to get a white star decal for the pads, can't paint stars that small anymore.
The German human is a Wargames Supply Dump Khanopian Guard which I painted in a gray green with white trim I didn't try to simulate a field version but went with a spiffy looking uniform.
The Khan guard have a two man heavy laser team but there is no heavy weapon for the protectorate.
I'll probably skip the British for the time being.
here are a few pictures before they get nazified

I'll have to pitch in with my figures as suitable (see sig) there's a scale comparison on the updates page. I seem to remember the killerB figs being huge though?
