Looks great! I deffinately want some, but I would like to see some heads with face masks, like the Rogue Trader Zoats.

Good work though, please show more pictures when available :)

Fantastic work!

Didn't Peter Hamilton's Nights Dawn books also feature a centaur-like race that had an especially big and mean warrior caste?

As I understood that tiresome tome, of the xenos mentioned therein both the Kiint and the Tyratcha are at least somewhat centauroid. The former are extremely large however and have eight legs as well as two "multipurpose arms" and they don't have castes as such. Am not sure if the number of appendages of the latter is specified but they are supposedly "faintly equine in appearance and about the size of a horse", with "two arms [extending] from behind the base of the neck, each with a nine finger circular hand". The Tyratcha had a slightly ant-like caste system with bred hunter/warriors.

I know that feeling, multiparts are the devils work! But once they are done, totally worth it! Now you just have to hope they will fit together after molding!!!

If you're gonna offer them as Posleen, you need to release  them in sets of a 100.

These chaps have just received some heavy support...





As before the body is two side and interchangeable, the torso is on a ball joint as it the head.

Lots more to come in the next few days as a whole load are being finished up.

If you're gonna offer them as Posleen, you need to release  them in sets of a 100.

There will be that option  ;D

I meant to get these up earlier this week but have been a bit busy with a few other bits. Any-hoo...

A load of of updates. ALL WIPS

These guys will initially be released (details of where you can get them to follow) in squads of 4. There will be 5 squad variants with different ranged weapons, then there will be a commander figure and a support weapon. Would like to add some close combat troopers, maybe a mage type figure etc.

Remember the bodies are 2 part and are completley interchangeable, the torsos fit all the bodies and the heads are on ball joints and fit all the bodies... so lots of variety for you. Bear that in mind when you look at the photos though, the minis are held together with puty, the final join once glued will be much closer.

So first up an example of a Bio-weapon armed trooper:




Rifle 1:





Rifle 2:




Rifle 3: Still Being worked on... Pics to follow :)

Rifle 4: This is an example of how a squad will look.








Support Weapon:



And finally a quick shot with another manufacturers figure to give you an idea of size.



Hoping to have the rest of the squads finished and the Commander done over the weekend / early next week.

Cheers

Adam

They look quite nice... But I am not really sure if the unmasked heads work for me, I think they somehow look almost like they have a ducks beak, but that might change with a coat of paint.
