Great. 
I love the miniatures and am looking forward when I soblad these are available to buy.   

[Mason]

Even though I have no use for the Assault Troopers, I can still say that they are rather fine sculpts!
 

Now please tell me when I can buy some 'Garrison' types.....

Need some Needa!

Akula,

Wow... The Garrison Troopers are very good... I'm interested we you get some cast-up. 

However, the Assault guys are AMAZING.  I have wanted a Fremen(ish) force for a long time.  Please add me to the group of interested folk.

Ditto! 

[Quendil]

Will definately be wanting some of these when they come out

Paul Sanderson has painted the next two "Assault" troopers, so here is a group shot.

 



There are six heads on the sprue to allow for positioning/variety.

[AKULA]

are you doing a duneish sort of project here akky?

The figures i'm commissioning aren't meant to be specific to an individual film, but they would fit in with a variety of backgrounds depending upon how you paint them.....take the first two garrison troopers that Paul painted grey.....the paint scheme gives them a Star Wars vibe, but they aren't Death Star personnel.  Paint them in black and they will be more reminiscent of the bad guys from Blake Seven (minus the helmets of course), paint them in a sand colour and they might well serve as Atreides guards....

 

By a happy coincidence I do have a Dune terrain project, and so I'm sure that my generic space-opera type figures will make an appearance in that project....I can see how you might interpret the "Assault" troopers Kevlar Body Armour as a Fremen still suit if you painted it that way, but clearly I can't call it that as I don't hold a license, and besides it isn't a copy of the film suit.

Next on the list are some chaps in Hazmat/fire protection suits....heavily armed of course.

no allegation of IP infringement intended.

I know...I just wanted to make sure no one else gets confused 

I am just becoming more enamoured of the figs. Garrison ones to be specific as they really are versatile.

Really glad you like them - the conversions will bulk them out into a more rounded unit, with another officer, a medic, squad support weapons.

[NurgleHH]

Akula,
I am confused. Do you have a release-date for your stuff?

[AKULA]

Do you have a release-date for your stuff?

Still waiting for the conversions back from Ian.

Once I have them, I will get all of the figures cast, and let you know they are available.

This is likely to be early/mid July.

 

[Viruz]

This is likely to be early/mid July.

What a pleasure.

Paul has finished the last of the master castings from the first batch of greens, and i'm very pleased with the end result
