Those robots are awesome, love the group!

Mike, you've got some fantastic freehand on those figures, looking very cool! Excellent composition as well!

Thanks

Those are from Paroom Miniatures and sold by Brigade Games
I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it anymore and what is it seems weird and scary.

Thanks, Joe. It was weird...I wasn't happy with these guys until I dullcoated them, and then the tattoos and beadwork seemed to go together.

And I echo the other comments about those robots...I sense a purchase in my future, and a Pulp scenario where XCIV's metal minions try to rule the world...!

Those robots make me want to do a Return To Oz themed adventuring party... Tick Tock! Jack would be fun, and the moose couch too! :)

Thanks

Sorry I didn't reply. Grad school was a bit hectic last week. I only got around to voting on Wednesday or so.

The mannikins belong to the forces of one of my two VSF evil geniuses/mad scientists. This fellow is the Mad Belgian, Herr Doktor Professor Otto Maton. Following an attempt to overthrow Bismarck in order to use the industrial might of Germany as a springboard to take over the Earth, Maton escaped with some of his automatons to Mars. There, in caverns under the vast red desert, Maton is rebuilding his forces by raiding civilized settlements. His goal, of course, is to rule the solar system!

Daft bugger.  o_o
