I've had these painted up for a couple months and just now got around to taking pictures. Orangoutangs with advanced rifles from Sgt. Major miniatures. I like the threatening look of these guys, more so than the friendly sissy Jokaero made by GW :)

a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice.

Hilariously funny and cool!
shame their weapons aren't more retro they will be great for a golden era sci-fi game.

They look great! I painted up a couple of those last year.

I was told by Sergeant Major miniatures, that they plan to do more poses and weapon options, but it is not on top of their to do list.

Great minis & great painting!

Those are tempting! Makes me think of the 'Uplift wars' by David Brin.

Thanks for the kind comments all. They were a very nice break from boredom. I find myself painting units of 10 or more at once, and it was refreshing to knock out two figs and be done with the group :)

Sgt. Major has some pretty cool figures that don't seem to get much exposure.

The rifles they have are indeed Hasslefree, which is cool if I want to arm some xenophile humans with 'Jokaero' weapons.
