Tobor Assault Platoon
« on: September 19, 2012, 06:27:33 PM »
I haven't made up a roster of these for any games yet, but let this be the notice that I intend to.




With apologies for the quality of the camera...

I've posted all these before, but I wanted a group shot so I can remember how they're organized on the battlefield.

The Tobor are a race of B-movie Robots from Cloister X, who rocket about the stars seeking vengeance. The plural of "Tobor" is "Stobor". Yes, I know.

Tobor always come as male-female pairs, and mate for life. If one of a pair is killed, the other tends to go berserk, as the opportunity for vengeance is that much more readily available.

Here we have a Tobor Assault platoon - feel free to suggest game systems and model stats.

Those look interesting... are they converted armatures?

Interesting concept and good application :)

Some close-ups are required, me-thinks :)

Strange but lovely.

Hmm, which reminds me : way too long since I put one of their CDs in the player., so I better get to it  :)

The armatures are from Bronze Age, right?

Love the idea, a good use for those! and quite fast to paint too!

The heads are turrets from Chaos Idolator escorts, and really difficult to come by now.
