Title: Robot W.I.P Update 25/09/13 New arms
Post by: redshadows on September 10, 2013, 01:37:27 PM: Hi everyone :-)

I'm busy working on a sort of Robot / Golem.
I've only done the main body so far, but he is also going to have different removable faces to choose from and different sets of arms, like a Power fist or Giant crabs claw etc.

I was thinking of sculpting a small force of Space Orc's / Goblin Sky Pirates and this could be a Body guard or something?

What do you think so far?

Post by: Michka on September 10, 2013, 06:30:25 PM: Love the robot so far. The idea of Goblin Sky-Pirates is fantastic.

Just a thought. Instead of Goblin Sky-Pirates, you could also make Gremlin Sky-Pirates. Similar critters, but the gremlin has more air history.

Post by: Jonas on September 12, 2013, 05:10:38 PM: I hope it gets cast when finished. It looks really cool! I am sure I could use one for Rogue Trader gaming or other.

I started on a couple of legs. There removable, but I'm not too sure about them yet :?

He is about 40mm tall

What to you think?

Post by: Jonas on September 13, 2013, 01:59:31 PM: The sculpting on the legs and arms look good, but to be honest, I think it looked better as a big flying face, like a future beholder og such.

Good idea thanks ;)

Do you think it should still have arms?

That.
I keep thinking it looks like a/ the moon and thus keep hearing 'bad moon rising' playing in my head when I look at the pics, which isn't such a bad thing as I like both the moonbot* and the song. Good thing I still have a pot of bad moon yellow...

*hm, sounds a little rude
Title: Re: Robot W.I.P Update 13/09/13
Post by: Ajsalium on September 13, 2013, 02:58:18 PM: The more you show us, the more I like it.

I like it with legs, but making it multi-part will let people use it as a floating ball if they wish so.

I too like the texture. Looks like something that would happen to orc equipment: getting so dirty that moss and stuff starts to grow on it.

I'm looking forward to seeing this finished, and alternatives. Perhaps not just different faces, but also a completely clean and untextured robot.
Title: Re: Robot W.I.P Update 13/09/13
Post by: Jonas on September 13, 2013, 11:03:57 PM: When I first saw it I was thinking it was some kind of security droid. Hovering around scanning peoples eyes and/or hand prints, to chose who goes into the upper levels of the bio labs.

lol

I would like one with no arms and legs. Maybe some small arms with tools or scaners and such, coming out of small doors, like R2D2.

I might still want one if it gets arms and legs anyway :) It has a good gritty sci-fi feel to it, not too clean and hard sci-fi.
Title: Re: Robot W.I.P Update 13/09/13
Post by: redshadows on September 17, 2013, 01:48:14 PM: Thanks again for all the feedback :)

Just a quick update, I've finished one arm and a few different faces.

I have still got a load of different idea's for this piece :)

What do you think so far?

Orcish Face for Orc Dreadnought

Moonbot ( Cheers for the idea Ink :) )

(http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb447/geordiesworkshop/moonbota_zps0218b80d.jpg)

and a Fishbot lol

Post by: Suber on September 17, 2013, 04:58:23 PM: Wow, this is awesome! I really loved the orc face, but the fish one even beats that. Great work!
Title: Re: Robot W.I.P Update 17/09/13 New faces
Post by: ink the troll on September 17, 2013, 05:52:59 PM: They're all full of character. Fishbot definitely isn't the kind of thing you want to meet at/ in the pool and also makes me wonder- does anyone sell Deep Ones in powered armour?
Title: Re: Robot W.I.P Update 17/09/13 New faces
Post by: Commander Vyper on September 17, 2013, 09:16:09 PM: George, fishbot is amazing. :o

I little fifth element too. Look great in bronze and gold.

Once I complete a few more arms, he will be available from from Fenris Games.

Moonbot makes me laugh out loud with happiness - a wonderful nod to the Lumiere Brothers.

This would be great. I have a skirmish force of odd stuff that will enthusiastically enlist fishface.

Post by: Vanvlak on September 22, 2013, 04:37:00 PM: Oh my. They're all grand, especially fish & moon - I have an urge to get one of the latter (they will be on sale, will they?) to go with my 2mm scale GSF* lot, representing the moon coming down to earth for revenge on getting shot in the eye.

*Georgian (V) science fiction, as the force includes Renault WWI tanks.

I spotted that Fenris are going to get it :) Its more that it would be cool to be informed when the production version will be available. I sometimes lose track of some if the gems shown here in the time between the green and the final piece.

It would be a pity to lose track of a model this unique :)

Ian will no doubt be quick on turnaround I reckon. I'll be over to see him sometime in October so will keep an eye out.

Post by: Elbows on September 22, 2013, 09:33:20 PM: Very cool. I think fishface works best with the body/arms. A pulpish sea drone or underwater army etc.

Do you have a shot if the model alongside a 28mm figure by any chance? Im not quite sure how big it is.

Sad, isn't it? I want with all the varieties, and I'm not sure what for. :-*
