From the black depths of space come the Garn, carnivorous reptilian aliens with guns! These big, tough aliens will make for ferocious opponents of your sci-fi or Pulp armies - or, of course, can be used to make your own Garn warhost! They are suitable to portray any of the variety of carnivorous, hulking alien reptilians which have featured commonly in science-fiction stories.



Expertly sculpted by Aaron Brown, these models have interchangeable heads, bodies, arms, and weapons for maximum variety. A special unit deal makes available additional weapons and - for free - a commander with a deadly arm-mounted laser-cutter and a predator-like shoulder-mounted gun targeted by an eye periscope!

Model painted by Chris Yaro. Base detailing was added by Chris.

You got here before I could! I saw them on TMP.

They are rather jolly -- could not be used for official competitions but would make a good alternative for a campaign or a "counts as" army.

Those look great, definitely will pick up a few for 40k NPCs/objectives. Where is the commander pic (Or is it not out yet)?

That was my thought as well. They have been designed to be used as MEQ -- the squads have bolter equivalent, flamer/plasma equivalent, and PF equivalent for the commander. I did not want to drape them in power armour which would hide their reptilianishness, so I gave them an alternate defense system just as good but which does not drape the warrior.

No heavy weapons for las/plas squads, or HS squads, yet, but if they sell that will definitely happen. Others have mentioned that they might be useful as fill-ins for Kroot or Orks as well.

So far, they are selling, people like them, they really like them!

Sorry not to have provided that yet -- they are out, and in the unit deal. I will shoe-polish up the pieces (as well as the flamer and plasmagun insert) and post them on the site, hopefully in the next few days. I had to pay for every model I had painted, and I thought it made more sense to have two troopers done to show the variety that will be possible in building units. Cheers for the kind words!

By the way, Egos, love your avatar!

Nice Trek homage, btw.

Slicey slicey
Oncey Twicey
Fang and Claw'll
Kill Dread Nicely!

Pretty cool. Remind me a bit of the Kleggs.

More plx please!!

Vale,

JohnS

Seconded!

I'd love to see some more pics (all the models!).

If they're as good as I think they will be, I'll be buying them!

Dude, those are awesome. I love to see this kind of pulpy goodness! Very interesting stuff...

Thanks, it either receives chuckles or outrage..depends on the site...

Looking forward to the commander then and I'll definitely be picking a few of these up. That jungle lord is ace too!

Yeah, I was a little disturbed by it at first, but frankly, it's grown on me.

Not bad at all, I can dig 'em!

- Salvage

could use the heads for salamander conversions, or are they a tad 2 big?

Cheers,

Little update:

Please see this piece on TMP:
http://theminiaturespage.com/news/579253/

More pics of the models coming soon, special for the Dakkaites. (Sorry, no photos of the commander painted at the moment, as I didn't have Chris paint one, but that will follow too.)

pretty awesome, does any1 have there stats?

Where's the obligatory Captain Kirk to fight him with implements fashioned from sticks, and leaves?

They look a bit meh to me. Not that great, just looks liek a dino head on an ork

Bingo, brother. That Captain Kirk was a smart guy for that fight - made himself a bamboo/gunpowder/diamond bullet rifle. S2 AP2.

beef wrote:They look a bit meh to me. Not that great, just looks liek a dino head on an ork

Not enough skulls, I guess.

I'm glad I checked Dakka, something I rarely do anymore. I love these to pieces!

this reminds me of a calvin and hobbes strip where a Trex is flying an F-15C. Either way, the model looks pretty cool, and would be fun to use. I can certainly see a deathworld vet army made of these.

I don't need a painted pic of the commander, just a pic!

Still waiting on that before figuring out if I want to buy the squad or some singles...

First thing I thought too, lol.

Cool looking model and I like the idea of a "counts as" Lizardman army.

I was leaning more towards exotic/xeno Inquisition retinue members myself...

Radical, of course!

I hadn't thought about that - that would be a good use for that guy.

Some more pics:





I sold through all the commanders so I will have to wait to post a pic of one! Or perhaps I can throw something together .... hmmm ....

By the way, these are back in stock.

http://theminiaturespage.com/news/541146/

Any pics of the leader figure yet?

Not painted, but I did stick one together so I can ink it down for display, and will post a few pics of it as soon as I can.

By the way, would gamers like to see a heavy weapons Garn? If so, what type of weapon or weapons would be ideal? Thanks.

For me, some heavy bolter (projectile) and plasma cannon (laser blasty) analogues would be perfect!

Heavy weapons are always welcome!

Ideally, make the trooper with arms that can accept a variety of weapons and supply a weapons sprue.

A heavy machine gun, a grenade launcher and a flamethrower are good traditional weapons.

If you want to make these beasties big and tough, weapons like autocannons and mortars, which humans would have to tripod mount, become possible.

For my own selfish purposes (an Inquisitorial retinue member, maybe a 'counts as' Heavy Weapon servitor) I prefer the aforementioned Heavy Weapons options!

But, a weapons sprue sounds good too!
