So wait, now I want to know what the NEXT regiment is...

Far enough Steve. I will keep an eye out for the future updates on the female cdf. As for now I'm waiting for your final reveal on the cdf range. I keep toying with ideas and arm combos on your site. I would also like to suggest another model to add to the range or as a separate regiment.

Again I'm just waiting for the curtains to drop and the PayPal to burn holes in my bank account. :-D

@don.mcclain: in a few words...tribal close-combat specialists

@BrotherKarr: I think I have previewed most of it, still one thing not seen yet but that will be a surprise.

... Tribal.... CQB specialists... *Take off glasses and look into the distance* By the Emperor

BUG HUNT (An original fiction by Brian Fortney)

Part 1

We were doing a routine sweep of the Nostromo cluster when we got the call. There was a degraded signal coming from the mining facility at Zeti Reticuli II.

"Alright troopers, listen up! Orders are as follows...make planetfall and proceed to mining station five-four-niner, “Sergeant Apollo Matthews walked slowly, confidently, along the line of Colonial Defense troopers. "Those civies are playing hide and seek and we're here to find them." He stopped at the end of the line, executed a perfect 180 degree heal turn, and stalked down the opposite direction.

"Hey Sarge, any expected resistance on this op?"

"You know the drill Coleman," the wily veteran sergeant scanned the entire squad as he walked, "Intelligence is on a need to know basis and you..don't...need...to know." There were assorted snorts and giggles, the kind of nervous energy a trooper expels before going into a potentially hot LZ. Matthews stopped at the opposite end of the ready line and turned yet again to face the soldiers. "That's it, let's move out. File into that lander and I want a clean dispersal this time...fan into an alpha two formation once we hit that dirt."

Something was troubling me as we flew over the colony. The place was a wreck but it obviously this was no industrial accident. The place was a ghost town. It was like someone or something just carried off every man, woman, and child at the facility. I had seen some horrible things on the frontier, but this whole scenario was somehow much more unnerving. I couldn’t help feeling watched. What the hell happened here?”


to be continued...

Is there any chance you will ever be releasing a super-ornate regiment? I'm thinking something along the lines of Space Marine Honour Guard or the new IG stormtroopers with the trim along their armour plates and lots of small little details like that. Would make a nice change from the clean and simplistic (yet awesome ) look that the rest of your troops have!

There is a "royal" regiment concept we have in development but it will more than likely be next year some time before it happens.

So these close combat specialist guys... Any chance we could DIG up some info on them? I hate to be a NOB and ask stupid questions but any info would be nice.

Or are these Gruff characters You took a liking to and thought their Rough personalities Needed to be better represented modelwise?

You're implying something...I just don't understand what, lol.

CQB Tribals? Zulu IG? Maori IG? Power Loader for the CDF?

Lol, I appreciate the curiosity but there is a lot more to release before I start talking about them.

It would help if I had arranged the letters in the second sentence correctly. Was trying to spell Ogryn but instead spelled Ogyrn

As for the first one, if you didn't pick up on that, it's pretty clear we're not getting Digganobs then

Aw. Wait, does that mean you were considering Zulu and Maori Imperial Guards? C'mon, we need a few more hints. Native American Imperial Guard? Aztec IG?

No, it means I'd rather stay focused on what is coming before that

Now I Almost feel bad for making the inquiry about what's next... Almost

Hi Steve your nam guys look cool,glad the roll call went well.Have you had any more time to work on the not steel legion guys or come up with any more ideas for how you will deal with the hose for the gas mask ?

I'm considering a Roll Call for them, on the design end I was thinking of doing separate masks with attached hoses. The user would have to put them in some warm water to bend them into a final position, depending on how you pose them.

How does that sound? Any other ideas?

Sounds like the best option to me, the only other one would be head and torso attached so the pipe is already fitted.

However I think that would limit the posing options, so go with your idea Steve any idea as to when the Rollcall would be ?

The hot water sounds like the best plan just like ldd said. If you do a roll call for them count me in and I am so glad they have not been forgotten

Expect a Roll Call some time in Q4

Put a note in the wallet

Hey Steve, got my Da Namians today, holy feth they are outstanding, I thought the Kurgans were a good kit but your second Roll Call offering has them beat hands down!

You should be rightly proud of them, I was really pleased with the level of detail on the 2 torso types, the bare heads, even the boots, just brilliant work.

The CDF stuff looks really exciting, can't wait to see what's gonna get added to this range, but is there any word though on your Bulldog FN FAL posted a few pages back?

Tribal Close Combat specialists sounds interesting, your own take on the Kanak Skull Takers?

How about pygmy IG (or is that a 'no no' in the current climate?)

Similar in scope but this will be a completely original concept, very exciting!

The Bulldog Rifles will release alongside the CDF upgrades in a few weeks. Thanks for the kind words

Space dwarves? Space haflings?

SQUATS!!!! Interesting to hear them brought up here

I would go for some space dwarfs that don't look ridiculous.

A page or two ago, the female smart gunner from Aliens was mentioned.. and also discussed as far as being a fair way down the road. Might I suggest doing a themed female personality set? Off the top of my head, Isabelle the female sniper from Predators, Velasquez from Aliens, Dizzy Flores from Starship Troopers, Mai Linh from Live Free or Die Hard, and maybe Ripley, Samantha Carter, or maybe Alice from Resident Evil..
If Flores' outfit is based on the training scene (her in a tank top and utility pants) the unit would look pretty cohesive... and could be really neat.

Either way.. again.. well done females that aren't ridiculous looking are scarce and would be welcome by many I'm sure.

============================================
As a side note.. any chance of a belt fed vehicle mountable version of that grenade launcher you currently sell? I have a vehicle that needs such a thing badly..

There is no way female troops will happen this year, if they happen at all.

Let's get Dakka involved then, if you can come up with an interesting and original concept, I will take it and see if I can make something of it. I will not do "female versions of this or that", I want to make them their own regiment.

Please, do not spam this thread with it. Let's discuss it here: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/30/511972.page#6844021

@MLaw: Not any time soon, but I will be doing a heavy weapon set and I can work it in there.

Ah, that's cool.. I was kinda hoping to see basically female personalities is all.. Wasn't trying to spam :/

Cool.. I'm building some 1/48 Land Rovers for use as Taurus FAVs.. I'll just build everything but the cupola on the one that is supposed to have a mk19.

We need something like this!

LET'S ROCK!
