The worm and the four-legged guy look really spiffy 8)

Humanoid troopers look to be good sculpts too, I like the action poses on #1 and #8. But it's a really contested market so I still lack enthusiasm for them.

There aren't that many humanoid aliens on the market from what I know unless you mean humans.

Just a modification of a previous sculpt I had shown. I didn't like the head and thought the hands were too big:

Contrariwise my experience is that a vast majority of "aliens" in scifi games are humanoids.

I can see that you've casted a few of them now, is that because their going into production or just because you can?

Hopefully they'll go into production one way or another but those were more test casts to see what needed to be reworked, added, get multiple limbs I didn't want to sculpt x times because it's boring and pointless, etc.

Technically great as usual 8)

The trooper looks good overall, tho the arms seem a bit too "tagged on". I suppose the idea is to give it an insectoid feel but still. Some sort of socket joint would work better.

The gun is IMCO too over the top in size, especially so the perforated "melta gun" whatsit at the business end. Obviously it would be easy to remove tho so it's not a huge problem, and some folks might well prefer a bit more massive weaponry than what's been shown so far.

That is a beautiful design, a bit alien but still plausibly "technological". Maybe you could add some elevators (gouvernails de profondeur) to the tail, either in a t-shape to the tip of the rudder or replace the vertical fin with a v-tail, slightly inclined towards the rear?

What he said ;) I vote for the T-shape at the tip of the rudder.

One thing, though, I'd like to clarify my preference for a V-tail, as a T-elevator might make it look too similar to the Space Marine "Battle Bumblebee" aka Stormtalon. Damn, now GW go and ruin tilt-engine VTOLs for us, too.  lol
