New Dalek and Sontaran / Cybermen forces for 2011?

[Steve F]

I had a go at painting up one of the Sontaran suppositories.



If it had a gun, and if I hadn't made the mould lines worse by trying to remove them with too blunt a blade, that might almost be usable.

Definitely a big improvement, but even your lovely paintwork can't hide the fact it's a crappy figure.

Sadly I couldn't bring myself to use them

Just to throw the cat amongst the pigeons, I'm waiting to see someone trying to convert the 'Cybermen' into something more like the Borg from Star Trek.

Don't know how they'd do it, but as a base for simple conversions like the Clockwork Men forum member einarolafson did, 8 figs for the equivalent of £1.10 is good value.

why? the borg were a cyberman rip off anyway

  They did have those (at the time they made it) super-high-tech red dot laser eye thingies though 

[Elwood P Dowd]

It's good . but it still needs a fishing rod and a rockery .

Well painted that Sontaran, Steve.

I decided to not to paint a Sontaran, I have used half of a cybermen head to do a different type of robot for my Alien Squad Leader greys. I will use them as AI infantry.

Nice.  What are the guns from.  They make all the difference in rendering these useful.  The PJ helps a lot as well.

All the weapons are GW bits from my spares box the long weapon is a dark eldar gun with blades removed, both group leaders have a sword (imperial guard i think), the heavy weapon for the black unit is a space marine bolter with skulls removed and the other troops in the black unit have bolt pistols, the most numerous weapon in the blue unit is a plasma pistol from the first ever plastic space marines (late 80s), there are also several holstered pistols from dark eldar and imperial guard sets-it was a case of using what i had.
I think any futuristic weapons could work as long as you dont have too many different ones in a unit and they are not stupidly large (Orcs),
have a go and post them up!

[Doomsdave]

Thanks!  I think I'll try that.

Thanks!  I think I'll try that.

Mine are still in the mail on the way from the UK to the US.  As soon as I get my mitts on them, I'll have a go.
