Subject: Space Knights & Space Dorks - 15mm 'heroic'

Finished putting these wee creations together a short while ago and they're currently at the casters. I'm eagerly awaiting their return to so the job can be completed.
The Space Knights will be the first to roll out as they're pretty much done. Just need to sculpt arms onto them with weapons attached and leave the heads as a multipart option. Though I will probably put in a couple of unarmed bodies with a small weapon sprue for those who want to customise some weapon loadouts.
The Dorks will take a while longer. I've left them fairly plain so I can have fun sculpting on different outfits and such which of course will take some time.
Both will come out as a starter set, about 20 figures with some weapon options as I've already said and will probably pop up on kickstarter first. Anyway thought some of you might like a look.

Those are pretty cool! Will both races use the same weapons, similar to Rogue Trader back in the day?

Cheers man.
Well, they could do. Maybe not as part of the first two starter sets but as I do say 2 or 3 more sets for both factions I could sneak the weapons in? Yeah why not good idea.

Nice. I kinda wish the guns were a bit more consistent in quality but the bodies and heads are all nice for 15mm. Also, kudos for taking good pictures. There's a lot of 15mm stores out there with pictures that are just not high enough res to actually see something as small as 15s.

There's no excuse for the variable quality of the guns but I'm going to try anyway. Doing this stuff by eye, well, it looks fine alright? Blow the image up to 3-4 times the size and all the nasty problems suddenly come into focus. (I will probably make slight corrections to weapons when they get back, at least the most glaring faults.)

Oh believe me, I know the feeling! You get something sculpted or painted or drawn and almost immediately after putting it up you see something or someone points out something that feels like it should've been obvious.
Either way, it's quite clear you're talented so don't take my comments too personally. I just would've liked to have seen that same level across the board on the weapons
