Sardaukar

Sardaukar.
The emperor's finest.







Blue Moon Miniatures 'Space Men' mercenaries. Sold by Old Glory and sculpted by the mighty Bob Naismith.
This range seems a bit of a continuation of the earlier Cobalt-1 range. I bought these in 2016 for my Rogue Trader Redux project. I only painted them this week, after watching Dune of course.

looking very much the part, the visors really sell it.

You've reminded me about the stuff I've got from the same range in my pile of shame, I think I may steal your paint scheme.

Bob really has done some awesome stuff that's totally stood the test of time.

Too bad I am lost in 1984, and expect dayglow green... lol

Please do so. I stole it from Villeneuve.

He has. The older Cobalt-1 range and this one are some of my favorites.

Wow; they absolutely look the part!  8)

For a bit I thought you had printed some Sardaukar STL's; the likeness is pretty uncanny. And combine with your paintscheme, they're just spot on!

Saw the movie last week and I must really resist the temptation...
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...

Blue Moon! I never thought of looking at them for stuff for my Sci-Fi skirmishes. I'll have to amble on over...  ;D

These look great!

Love the paint job, but should the Sardaukar have guns?

Perhaps they could be turned into flamethrowers?
