If you maby lost the bar under the cilinder that would make it less nerf and more sci-fi.

I'm in agreement... give this a look.

Still between 1 2 and 3

it is very nerf though
I imagine a close combat guy's gun being more bullish though.
Most modern close quarters weapons (and flashlights, ect) have ridged protrusions to deal more damage when used as a bludgeoning device.

ect. ect.

I love that stuff but smacking someone with a grenade launcher? sounds risky

Oh yeah, that rocks.

I like the original shoulders and quite like the upgraded ankle armour.

I actually quite liked the original #3, but maybe I don't spend enough time looking at nerf weapons for that to be an issue. I still prefer the revised #3 to the others. #1 is too non-descript and #2 just looks like a Bolt Pistol to me.

As someone who recieved his Kickstarter Sturmtruppen squad a few weeks ago, I look forward to having more DreamForgemodels to buy and then not have time to do anything with.

Gun #3 please... :-)

Valete,

I like #2, it looks like you'll have to just make both

NoseGoblin wrote:Shoulders and all changes are up for popular consensus... I like the leg changes but I am ambivalent as to the shoulders, so the feedback either way is great, and as to the sword, I will make one up for review and see how all of you feel.

I love all of the changes. Also, I vote to include gun options 2 and 3, but if I had to make a choice, I'd go with option 3.
Still looking for a shield option, though.

well, making the assumption you wont pull the trigger while beating someone with your weapon, even modern 40mm launchers have a safety incase it clips something close to the firer the shell won't go off. But I think whatever you decide on making the weapon more "close combat-able" without turning it into a gears of war rifle is the way to go.

Boom! Gimme some of the revised #3, it is pretty much exactly what I was going for in my previous post!

I am going to have to buy a set of these regardless now as I feel I have had a hand in creating it (sure it is only 0.001% but it still counts!)

I like gun 3 the best but gun 2 isn't terrible and wouldn't look out of place. I love the new stance it looks like the trooper is properly supporting the weight of his weapon. I kind of like the original shoulder pads better than the new version, I like the new ankle guards and the cloth around the waist is fine too and doesn't need to be changed. I like the sword as is.

really they are near perfect IMHO. now get the kick start ready and I'll sign up for a platoon

Gun 3 ftw. 2's not bad though.

And I like the changed poses and foot armour.

I enthusiastically vote for 3. 2 is a good design, but looks too much like the common and bland gw bolt pistol.
Nerf or nothin!

ruyn wrote:Still looking for a shield option, though.

A shield would be awesome on these guys!

Also vote for #3 . Lol @ "Nerf or nothin!" but I definitely think it is the best!! And the change helps, too.

#3 FTW!

So, I was digging around your site... do you have an online store where I can buy your regular troopers? couldn't find it.. or are they not available yet?

A shield or #3.

Would love to see alternative shield option, a knight in armour with shield and sword never gets old, even in the future.

Next up the sword..... 1 2 3 or 4?



Got it.. a shield........ let me take care of the current models issues then I can move on to making new additions

X1 for the squad and X4 for the captain man

In agreement with Grundz

I agree with Grundz here. That x4 is pretty awesome, but a bit overly decorative for the regular Joes I think. I could see it having a lot of conversion value too.

Sword 3 in my book.

4 isn't a sword, it's a club!

Sword #3, but lost the Iron Cross. GW has made that so that we can't see it without thinking "Black Templar." I'd use the eagle from #4.
I also like sword #2 as an option. Maybe mix it up, or provide a couple extra swords?

For the grenade launcher, I like #3, but that barrel just strikes me as being too short. I'd lengthen the barrel & add in a "supporting" left arm. That thing's going to have killer recoil and, power armor or no, your average gamer's going to see id and think it's (a) a really large revolver [pistol] or (b) not going to shoot accurately without a second hand to steady it.
Maybe the left hand, instead of UNDER it, could be on top of it, palm down, as if keeping the GL from kicking?

Eric

I'm liking these a lot. Did I miss the kickstarter link, or has it just not started yet?

I think I like #1 the best for the regular guys, too- imo the right ones are too medieval. So, if you have to pick a single design, I'd go with it.

#4 on a sergeant would be pretty sweet, though

the only sword I don't like is number 2

I especially like the eagle hilt of sword 4 and the flat tip of sword 4


Lucker; I agree the fourth sword would function like a club but in my minds eye that's how I see these guys fighting not really parring or dueling but smashing through the enemy with massive weapons

NoseGoblin any chance we could maces or hammers?

If everything sells well I hope to expand all the troops to have more options and accessories. So yes, no, it depends Its all up to my customers and how they vote with their wallets.

Seems like # 3 is the most endorsed option.... Here are some shots on the fig. What are your thoughts?

I like it but I think its too large on the figure as a pistol type weapon. Perhaps I should shorten the chamber?

bloody hell! just do all four swords as an extra pack to buy. ill be getting those bad boys!

Here is #3 with a shortened cylinder.... I think this looks a bit more balanced. What do you say keep it or not?





By the way, there is an easter egg in the sword. No one has mentioned it but I made it as a combi weapon. Let me know if you find it.... (hint: it uses the handle of the sword as a barrel and is modern submachine gun with some mods)

No prize for finding it, just extra geek cred

Are you meaning the fact that the "power weapony" bits look like a P90?

Kanluwen wrote:Are you meaning the fact that the "power weapony" bits look like a P90?

Sounds like a really dangerous gun to use.

Indeed, thats why I abandoned it as a true use option... but I liked the sword design, so I kept it the way it was and started giving them the grenade pistols as their range weapon. I figured it looked generic enough that it would not stand out as "hey look at my combi-weapon". Now I just look at it as a part of the power system for the sword.

I like 1 & 2 for sword and both versions of the new gun are great.
If possible though I think releasing all 4 swords as upgrades/options would be a great idea
