Colonial Defense Force Marine ("not Aliens")

[Agis]

This is one trooper of Mad Robot of the Colonial Defense Force troopers.
The parts are made from resin and are 28mm heroically scaled.
(see http://madrobotminiatures.com/zencart/)

I am deeply impressed by the quality of these small market resin minis, perfect fit, perfect casting!
Absolutely recommended if you want generic, tough as nails deep space Marines!
We live indeed in splendid times with many quality minis around.

I might use them in games like this...

 Very nice Agis.The detail on him looks pretty sharp.Not a bad price for a squad of 10 either.

Great stuff 

I read the title as 'Colonial Defense Fort' and was a tad disappointed (terrain is my main thing  ) but that's not to take away from the wonderful painting 

cheers

Thanks Folks, the next 4 are on the table.
I will try some slightly different camo colours.

Lovely painting, what were they like to deal with (as a company)?

Honestly - as good as it gets.

Good communication, prompt shipment (that the shipment was afterwards delayed in German customs was NOT their fault).

Good lookin' stuff.  Also it looks like the guns are perfectly suited to clip the flash-hider/muzzle brake so that the rifles are even more accurate.  Eventually...some day...I'll be doing a sci-fi skirmish game.  These will have to be in it.  Excellent paintwork as usual. Regarding the genestealers - did they ever make a box of plastic Hormagaunts?  I always thought the old metal ones were very reasonable stand-ins for ALIENS.



These old fellas would be great - even more so if you swapped out some normal arms to replace the talons.  I checked out the newer plastic hormagaunts and they don't look nearly as ALIENS-appropriate.  Shame!

[Agis]

IIRC there are plastic Hormagaunts.
Add some aftermarket (http://chapterhousestudios.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=81_82) Xenomorphs heads and your fine.


IMO the heads is TOO big.

Or wait for Prodos Aliens...

Really lovely painting as always!

I'd definitely like the see the comparison when the Prodos stuff ships.

I am pretty sure that the Prodos Marines will be a head taller. So not really compatible...

And do not forget that the CDF minis are sculpted in the GW style - so "big heads, feet and HUGE guns".

Agis, thanks for doing such a great job!  Your brushwork lifts them to a new level
