Hello everyone.

Just wanted to share a couple of pics of what I'm working on at the moment.

Planning on making a few different squads, and casting them in resin for an army project:

These two are my first prototypes for the basic squads. I'm in the middle of playing around with the squad sergeant.






I'm planning on making a full 10 man squad, company command squad, junior officers squad, some heavy weapons team guys and special weapons.

I think I've probably got 30 models to get up to scratch before I start making casts, but I'll have a play around with the guy in the first image soon - to see how well he casts up and paints.


The Tallarns themselves are going to be in a 1500 point army - comprising a full armoured sentinel company (9 in total - 3 missile launchers, 3 plasma cannons, and 3 lascannons) and an infantry platoon, with half a million lasguns and heavy bolters. Perhaps some of the FW Mukkali riders.


I wanted to ask you guys whether you thought they need shoulder pads and backpacks, like the FW models have?




I'm not sure - the 'desert rat' theme, opportunistic and lightning fast, sorta makes me think they wouldn't have these massive pauldrons on. Hmm.

Jesus, those are great models. Keep doing what you're doing. No need to change what ain't broke. I can't wait to see them painted.

I think the shoulderpads will tie them into the guard range and give them a more "soldierly" look - at the moment they could quite easily be civillians with weapons (speaking of which, I love the long barrels ).

Loving it! I really would like to do a tallarn army myself, but the price for the metals is daft!

Great GS skill, but I think you should match the pauldrons to the same as the pic, more work but great look!

Thought about leaving the pads off, creating a more rag tag look and creating an "insurgent" force?

The Spice must flow...

Kommissar Muad'Dib! I'd be super afraid to get in front of that jihad... I mean IG army . Seriously though it would be pretty sweet to do a Dune themed IG army. House Atreides for the win!
