I love me those modern troopers. I have made two orders so far and can't wait for my third one of them to get the full numbers.

I agree with Melissia, I wish there was more female options, as they actually look realistic and good.

You are of course correct. But to be fair, the female soldier is part of a modern warfare squad.

I would like to see more females for the squad as well. Time (and sales, I suppose) will tell.

That's the thing, I guess. The finished figure that Kev has sculpted is really very much a one-off purchase, due to pose and gear. If she had more gear (chest rig, optional helmet head, maybe a pack) a "squad" type weapon and of course a "squad" pose as opposed to a "character" pose then she'd be a potential multi-purchase figure like the guys are. So I'll buy her, but I'll only buy one of her, while I'll buy multiples of the guys (adding to me existing multiples of the earlier ones). So her sales figures will accordingly be much, much lower than the boys.

For those that have them, how well do the Hasslefree figures scale up against Mercs figures?

Well, From what they said in the newsletter, it's pretty much confirmed that there will be more female modern troopers.

OMG. I need that Hitler model.

Cooties?

Sneaked into Kevs workroom when he was in the shower to see what he has been up to.... Looks like a new Taxxis standing on a re-vamped Deths back plus some more work on the chick from yesterday.

Here is a pic I posted on the forum of doom of some of the newer Hasslefree minis I painted up



There is also a video on our youtube channel which I put together to try and spread some Hasslefree fever which I have had for many years now

Dude... love your skin tones. That NMM armour is also very nice.

Good Lord! How did you get the skin tones so clean and smooth? And those faces! How I wish I could paint that well.

Awesome, really like Boudi!

When I do skin I try to get a nice opaque base down and then work from that.

For Marina (Left) I start with a thin Bugmans Glow all over the skin areas and then 2 or 3 base coats of thinned dwarf flesh and it should be pretty well covered (Dwarf Flesh is an old GW paint and they don't really make a decent alternative but you can still buy it from coat d arms) Then I do a quick wash with heavily watered down Bugmans glow with a little flow enhancer added. After that the skin is highlighted up with thinned dwarf flesh gradually mixed with white.

For Boudi (left) who I wanted to have lighter skin I do the same thing but using Tallern Flesh (old foundation paint but vallejo's flesh works well also) then based over with Reaper Rosy skin, given a subtle red/pink wash and highlighted with the Rosy skin highlight and white.

Harlequin:

WIP new walker variant. Still to add weapons on back of wrists.

I WANT FIVE!

I like this configuration a lot more than the regular one.

Wow... that looks amazing!

Awesome, might serve as some kind of low-grade security TAG for Infinity (for scenarios and the like?)

Also, worth pointing out the following, when someone asked if it was a 3D sculpture:

3D? **go wash your mouth out**...lol! No, Kev makes individual parts to construct with and then has them cast in resin so he can assemble it and add to it as he wants to.

Could be useful as a Mecha Front mini too.

I have 2 off the all cannon version they came out, and I am looking forwards to getting the handy version as well.

A scale shot perhaps, please? I wonder if they'd work for Marine Centurians?

Here's a nice article on how Kev sculpted those hands: https://www.facebook.com/notes/hasslefree-minis/making-something-like-a-walker/625522650813349

I didn't consider that! Still don't have a good handle on how big centurions are, though.

those are lovely! I'll have to get a few of those hasslefree minis I've been wanting for a while now. Do we know when that robot will be avalaible?

That's a great looking walker! I really like how the legs look like they are actually capable of holding it up.

Glad I've decided on waiting before ordering the few minis I wanted. I'll have to grab one of those !

I was thinking Killa Kans or Deff Dreads depending on the size...
