Grymn Tunnel Fighters

[Inso]

I have been working on this army for a good few months now and haven't bored you lot with it yet...so I thought it was about time I did .  The army is a bit of a mash up of different manufacturer's work.  The main troops are Grymn (from Hasslefree Miniatures) with Kolony Inner Guard heads (from Pig Iron Productions) and they are backed up by a mix of units from Warzone (Bauhaus Vulkan Battlesuits) and Ground Zero Games (droids from the 15mm stargrunt range)...

...Here is the command squad (complete with comms-drone):



...Here is a squad of 'Clankers' (Vulkan Battlesuits):



Here is the alien equivalent of a K-9 patrol unit (MIni-Mawes from Hasslefree):

And the latest work in progress...another basic squad (minus the comms-drone):



...and finally, a squad of drones with a Grymn to control them all (The drones are all from GZG):



I still have a long way to go with the army as I plan to add transports and at least another 3 squads of basic troops...and...

Good job you're not obsessed with them 

  

More lovely figures and I am in awe of your enthusiasm and imagination 

[Mr.J]

Awesome! That's a cool collection you have there.

Nice minis!

The K-9 patrol....  ... very kewl.

[Spook]

They are simply amazing. Love the mini rover drones and those weird tunnel hounds!

[Calimero]

Awesome work, I like them all!

[YPU]

Those hounds make you wander how the guys themselves look under those masks!

What sort of transport are you planning on?

[therepoman]

Those are very cool! It's a great looking force.

[Conquistador]

Very, very nice units.

Do have a concern about whether, given some of those heavier looking weapons, they are totally efficient for Tunnel Fights (Vietnam comes to mind) or more of a Underground Complex Clearing Crew type unit where there would be long hallways and/or open chambers (Moria in space type combat.)

Quibble aside, very nice work.

Gracias,

Thanks for all the comments .

What's under the masks?...I am suggesting that they would be Grymn BUT I have deliberately made every one of them wear a helmet...so they could be aliens...or something else...hey, maybe I could make a couple of characters without the helmet that were different races...that way I could decide on the day what they should be .

When I thought about 'Tunnel Fighters' I was thinking more along the lines of underground caverns like in the Starship Troopers film...in fact, I started putting them together as enemies for my desert Tyranids...so I definitely had Starship Troopers on my mind when I started this army.  They would definitely be inappropriate for Vietnam style tunnel-systems due to the over-large weapon systems and heavy equipment (as mentioned)...so it wasn't a quibble, it was sense on your part Mr. C .

One thing that I am pretty happy with is that every Grymn is converted...that's a lot of head-swaps .
