Holy Crap.  This gets better and better.  Please don't let my name fall off the interested parties list.  Those most recent convos are amazing.
This is my boomstick!

More wonderful work; I like them all.

One thing irks me slightly; the pistol holster on the pilot looks a bit misplaced there; it's on his right shoulder, but with a righthand draw, which would make it rather awkward to draw. Might I suggest moving it over to the left shoulder? Or alternatively, flip the holster to make him into a leftie?

All in all just a very minor gripe though; this range is getting more interesting with each update! 8)
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...

Masters plus conversions have gone off to Griffin for mould making today....will post on here once I have castings available.

 :)

@Daeothar -  clearly the pilot is a bit of a poser, rather than a combat vet....easily fixed with a sharp knife if it irks you.  ;)

Assault troops





Not sure how I missed this image, but glad to see some proper facial hair options.

As I mentioned, they've gone for mouldmaking so I won't be making any changes to the greens now.

It is the most minor of changes to a casting, as the holster will stick out from the shoulder, so if its easily altered if you really want to.

Another new green -  this one from Zorro

"The Brute" is 37mm to the top of his head, a muscle-bound gargantuan, or a genetically-enhanced freak, either way i'm sure that he will find employment as a torturer for a regime somewhere in the galaxy....



Size comparison with a Garrison trooper:



Will be a little while before this chap is available as the current couple of moulds are full up, but I've got more greens planned....  :wink:

Yet another excellent sculpt, not sure I'd have any use for the fella but he does look cracking.

Any word from the casters?
I'm an impatient git, I know... :D
Yearly painting challenges only show me how useless I am at painting...
