Crooked Dice: Mk2 Argonauts
« on: April 03, 2015, 11:35:04 AM »
Here's a preview of our next release - some smaller Mk2 Argonauts. Andrew May has sculpted eight troopers for us. Two are unarmed (to match the PG profile) and six are armed with an advanced rifle. Head swaps means you can make these up as Aliens or Humans with body armour or whatever you like!

Each model will come with a traditional argonaut head and an alternate cyclopean helmet.

Masters should be with me on Tuesday and if all is well, they will be off for production and hopefully with us in time to give a preview release at Salute. Here are some pics of the greens:







And a couple of assembled shots:








Something Crooked this way comes...

Look, I don't want any toast, and he doesn't want any toast. In fact, no one around here wants any toast. Not now, not ever. No toast.

A toasted Teacake?

Lister:We don't like muffins around here. We want no muffins, no toast, no teacakes, no buns, baps, baguettes or bagels, no croissants, no crumpets, no pancakes, no potato cakes and no hot-cross buns and definitely no smegging flapjacks.
Toaster: Aah, so you're a waffle man.

Finally, Karl....a sci fi reference that's not lost on me!

Glad you like 'em chaps. 8)

Great stuff!  :D

How's about some others from the late 70's.  Y'know, those troopers that storm everywhere in God's own scale.
