As of late I have been wanting to make my own miniatures and Have since thought up two new races. The one that I will be showing you right now is a race that basicly is a parasite and attaches to any technology and uses it to its advantage. So far the miniature is just the tech I still have to put most of the parasite on. So far the i have made the the body of the mech which still needs some work before being covered up by Flesh and muscle (the parasite), I have also made a jet pack with plastic card and a tau peace, and I have made 2 guns [the tau minigun with the green stuff on the bottom of it which will turn into a organic gun], and my other gun (no real explanation to that one). I will be posting up pictures. Hope you guys like it.
The parts for my Model
This is the back of the body
one of the guns
The jet pack [I want to make deformed wings on there at some point but I dont really know how. any tips?]
This is the other gun I have made.
Sorry for the pictures I only have a picture phone. C & C welcome

Utilizing Careful Highlighting
Finland... the country next to Sweden? No! That's Norway! Finland is to the east! No! That's Russia!
|
I got to be honest... they look a small bit like Elites from Halo.
this is what I'm talking about
|
Sweet Jesus, Nurgle and Slaanesh in the same box!?
No, just Nurgle and Slaanesh, Jesus will be sold seperately in a blister.

I disagree the only thing even similar are how the legs are built and you can find the same leg style in werewolves or the Tau stealth suit. I'll post some more pictures up later.

I think it is ambitious but i cant really see it very well. Needs alot of detail work to make it look nice i think.

@Perkustin: The idea that I have on the initial mech is that it was made to be able to get through almost any terrain [desert, mountains, bogs, etc.] and be a really useful scouting unit thats well equipted to handeling situations. And now the parasite has taken over and is now just using it for it ability to carry ,I don't wanna say heavy weapons, but somewhere inbetween light and heavy weapons around. I am currently making ajustments to the [what used to be] twin-linked mini guns

Hey guys. I got some more stuff done last night but I wanted to wait for the green stuff to dry before I posted anything. I added some more armour, I am almost finished with the organic gun beneath the minigun, and I added some form of egg sack (filled with ammo for gun) to the bottom of the other weapon. More pictures  :
This is the parts so far. I havent done really anything on the jet pack yet.
The egg sack
Hope you guys like it so far. C & C welcome.

Only bad thing is pictures, can hardly make any constructive comments with such blurry images. From what I can make out there is a lot of potential here, just hard to say what.
