Thanks guys!
I added your name suggestions to my blog as a poll ( http://fischers-design-shop.blogspot.de/ ) - let the better one win

In regards to Dystopian Legions I have a small update via BoLS:
No infos about release date or pricing, but everything will be resin, so expect Forgeworld prices.

and a link to more images:
http://ttfix.blogspot.de/search/label/Spartan%20Games

But I wasn't lazy either!
The platton leader got his head and a scarf


I prepared some seals to create Purity Seals


Rambo received some power cables to his heavy las-rifle


and the first troopers got their heads mounted.

as you can see, the mounted trooper firing from the top hatch has the standard IG (sentinel) crew helmet, while the other got some brand new helmets.

I really like how those new helmets worked out





What do you think?
Thanks for reading and commenting, I look forward to your C&C.
Cheers
Klaus

rambo... i am not sold... a mere man... holding in psitol grip two heavy lasrifles...not really what i see being possible...and your style is more to a certain kind of amount of realisim combined with a touch of grim dark scifi... adding manga gunners is not really the way in my opinion...sorry if i stepped on too many toes klaus...

Wow Klaus they look great (although some straps to the guns from Rambo would make it more belivebile that he'd be holding them), I must ask how long you've been doing IG, as it seems you have them down to a science!

I concur. That or turn the guns into SMG type firearms.

Vik, don't you worry
If I couldn't stand the heat (critics) I wouldn't be in the kitchen (Forums).
You point is absolutely valid, and I had planned rifle slings -
matter of fact, if you look at this photo in my blog, you see it as second item:
http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bql1j_jhk3g/UDH8qC8a89I/AAAAAAAAOCM/JyI0VzeOkk4/s1600/IMG_3471.JPG

With the two rifle slings the pose will hopefully look a bit more realistic - even though I once fired two M16's together as an OpFor to create a distraction for the rest of my team to sneak around the security teams back....but that was a long time ago and we only fired blanks....but I looked like this Rambo for sure *lol*
Well, I hope to have more updates tomorrow and some better shots of the helmets - actually I'm sculpting another 3 right now.
Thanks for your C&C
Cheers

Here is a scale shot of the various seals


and my failed battery pack (reactor) experiment

I'll have to think of something different...

The entire squad received some knee-pads


And I sculpted some more helmets

On this one you can still see the outlines of the old IG helmet (so he needs some extra shaving and cleanup )


George Oneeye with the implant

I have more detail images of the helmets in my Dei Greci blog.

And then I tried something new!
You have already seen the muzzle flashes I did in the past for the bolters. And since I want some cinematic effects for this dio too, I had to try laser beams:
What do you think?




I have to admit I like them
What about you?

Those troopers look great!

I for one, think that it is more than possible to fire the two laser rifles simultaneously. It is not very accurate, but the purpose would be suppression, not accuracy. But yes, the straps would make it easier, and would look better. Very nice.

The lasers from the barrels is awesome! If you are up to it, you could make molds and then cast them in tinted clear resin, and it would look even better! But painted up, they could look great too.

Can't wait to see more!
