Boobs = PG13, right?

Cool to see that you're back, love your savlars. Are these latest ones savlars too or are they from the Armageddon ork-hunters regiment?

Illumini wrote:Boobs = PG13, right?

idk but i want to avoid potential trouble with the mods

I also love the Savlar Chemdogs, I've got a small Kill Team. This is a truly beautiful project.

@Illumini - these are my take of ork hunters detachment that operates in hive cities and underhives heavily infested with orks (as they are on Armageddon) rather than jungle. I think it's quite logical these would be made from Savlar veterans and probably work under the same command.

Oh, and here's something different!

Loving the drawing at the bottom. Can't stop chuckling.

No, my Savlars are not dead.

Here's a little WIP for the taste of things to come:

they look fantastic!

I love your Drug Puppies! This is one of my favorite armies on Dakka, glad to see more coming out.

Really love your work here, its truly amazing...
I m gonna keep an eye on your thread..

Need your advice. Slowly getting to the female part of the platoon.

Dug through a large number of miniatures before I found something that suits my purposes.



From left to right:

Chapter House female IG with FW renegade militia arms and female Catachan head;

Escher trooper, largely unchanged;

Female Catachan trooper with a custom head (part of sculpting commission, done by Brother Vinni for me; this is a test bald head; future versions will have different combinations of mohawks, goggles, gas masks etc - and yes, they will be available for purchase);

Copplestone military female, unchanged.

I plan to use different female minis of said manufacturers, but not deviating from the scale and style set above.

Here they are next to male troopers:



What do you think? Do they look good next to each other? Is there anything that needs adjusting or changing?

Oh, and for those of you who dig rag-tag militia styled IG (as much as I do ), here's an update of my non-Loyalist army:
http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/0/460924.page#4641454

The bodies I think look fine, but some of the girl heads are lacking in detail imho.. oh and about that thread link.. do you like skulls?

Look great next to each other. I might have to pick up a few of these minis.

@VikingScott - I know who's the girl on your new userpic.
Rock on! (c)

Chicks dig giant robots!

First time i've posted in here, but i've been stalking it for ages! Glad to see this project aint dead. I've been taking inspiration from (Read: Stealing Ideas from) this thread for me own stuff, i LOVE it.

Genuinely batshiz models, my favourite's still the DKoK helmeted girl with the pigtails though. so perfectly apunkalyptic.

Great paint too, the dirtiness of it is perfect for them.

Newest stuff, do like, nice to see female guard, for now i'm just making do with bastardising escher models since i hate most shop's female guard, but that's mostly down to the heads! decent ones coming from Vinni would be awesome, i'd definitely pick some up.
Any idea how long it'll be?

Man, this has to be one of the scummiest, sleaziest IG armies I've ever seen-which, considering that they are the Savlar, is completely a good thing! I just love that banner, the gas masks and the bright colors really stand out from the grimy hues of the troops.

_Tim?

Hehe, thanks!

@Adenn: It's nice to see my stuff inspiring others! Will go comment on your Dogs, they look great!

>Any idea how long it'll be?

When it's done I'll keep you all updated.

A prototype Stormtrooper.
Since Stormtroopers are generally specially trained commandos assigned to other regiments, I decided to go for a more hi-tech, sinister yet still PA look. Bonus points if you guess the source of inspiration (and this is not the game you thought of)

The Cerberus Panzer Cops showed up in Mamoru Oshii's work long before Jin Roh, he made a manga and then 2 live action films called The Red Spectacles and Stray Dogs (one a colour adaptation of the previous black and white version) neither were very good but still had their charms..... Helghast are actually based on the Panzer cops =O

well.... there's a little history for you..... just thought I should say, LOVE this thread =D it is relevant to my interests! Keep up the good work!

The 'Hellghast' archetype was used even before that actually, in the comic 'Superboxers'. Mid eighties I believe... Love those stormtroopers!

Hey Drommel, are you thinking of integrating the new plastic cultists into your ragtag bag of scum?

More please.

Hey Drommel, are you thinking of integrating the new plastic cultists into your ragtag bag of scum?

YES. They will only need a few headswaps and Chaos stars removed. Will be getting them as the part of starter box and will probably buy more from people who don't need the Chaos part of the set.

Besides, Vinni reported yesterday that heads are in the works and hopefully will be ready soon. Meanwhile, here's a photo of the base models for these heads (missing hair and accessories):


I believe you can order these from him despite them not being listed on his site. The price is twice the price of zombie heads (200 roubles, ~$6 for 5 heads).

Finally took the time to finalize and take pics of the new stuff!

First of all, the updated General. Thanks to Girelle for helping with paintjob.
The girl is magnetzied and can be turned around for 'maintenance mode' or removed as a wound marker.



Next is about 1/2 of my platoon. Some minis are repaints of old ones, some are new. I decided to experiment with 2 things:
1) Fluo paints and OSL effect (with simple drybrushing and washes);
2) Making a magnetized scenic base.
Both worked well I think.















And last but not the least, Yarrick himself, painted by my friend Under9 as a birthday gift:



Next to come are my 100500 unpainted conversions... and did I tell you I finally managed to get almost all Escher ganger miniatures? But that is a story for another time...

Very nice! That green is ridiculously cool.

Very cool

They look great on the base-board, good job.

wow that is an awesome board for a dope general!!

Can't wait to see more mate!

Thanks all!

On a side note, I want your opinion on Yarrick's bolter - in codex, he has a storm bolter, but this mini has a singl-barrelled version, although it's an official one, only quite old (2nd edition if I'm not mistaken). Do you think a (seemingly master-crafted) bolter with a belt feed can work as a storm bolter? It's a nitpick, but some people are quite bitchy when it comes to WYSIWIG ^^

It's an official Yarrick model, people shouldn't complain. It'll be fine.
