Not to sound like a broken record, but I also have far too many uses for a set of garrison troopers. I'm interested.

Quick Update - first six conversions of the Garrison Troopers by Ian Mountain, designed to bulk out the squad.













More conversions of the Garrison Troopers to follow, plus some of the Assault troopers, then will get the Production moulds made

 :D

My thoughts exactly.
They would work perfectly as minions in that genre.

Simply fantastic!
 How many Garrison troops are planned?

Trying to save my (now discontinued) pennies.
Might need a 2nd set.
Yearly painting challenges only show me how useless I am at painting...

"First wave" is 18 Garrison troopers (including a leader, Bodyguard, Aide, Medic, pilot, plus the cannon fodder, plus 8 Assault troopers.


I say first wave because I'm sure I will be tempted to add more poses if these are a success....

I'm very interested in the Garrison troops and will pick up one of each (if the price is right of course  ;)

I do have plans for some non-military types, both male and female in long robes....depending upon how you paint them up they could easily represent members of a religious order, a court entourage, or ordinary civilians
Civvies are always welcome. Tho long-robe-wearing ones aren't on the top of my scifi civilian want list.

I hope you are planning to make the heads on the assault troops and the civvies interchangeable. Namely I still have to find some bodies to put the original assault trooper heads on.

Civilians in long robes sound perfect to me. I've been looking for those for my classic Battlestar Galactica project. Now if only I can find Colonial Warriors.

consecutive posts that sum up everything I love about wargaming

 :D

Will do my best to make some minis that people can find a use for....interchangeable heads makes sense, and I hope to have some variety in terms of civilians/characters and the like.

As with all my projects though its about support - I'm not a company, and this isn't a kickstarter, so if you guys like the first 26 minis when they are cast up later this month then please follow through on that support...any proceeds from spare castings will go straight back into making more greens....  ;)
