Keep going with true scale! ( if Heroic scale was considered more of an art style that is ok, but as a scale it really is ugly compared too true scale), their is much more of a future in that scale and I have personally seen people much more willing too purchase miniatures that are nice clean and well proportioned over that of heroic scale cartoony futures.

It will open your minis up too way more of the growing wargaming market than just limiting them too GW products, just my two cents worth anyhow its all up too you, I just think you have a lot of talent and I would hate too see it limited to one certain scale style!.

what about some 3D model'd cybernetic replacement parts for your poor injured troops? replacements arms, legs, internal organs such as lung/gill repairs? then I could borrow them?

That would be cool. It would make each soldier a little bit more unique. once I go back to troops I will give it a go.

Here is an update on my quimera. I am spending a lot of time on 3DS max to give it a good foundation. and also spliting the model in the sections that will be printed before Zbrush instead of the other way around.

Im following this topic with great interest!

You have some amazing design skills

I do have a niggle about the chimera model tho, the tracks look like like they are sunk into the hull, ie it wouldnt be able to move.

Yes i do know we are playing with toy soldiers in a fictional world but i thought id bring that up anyways

Awesome stuff!

The dozer blade and turret are really good, the rest of the chimera looks just like a chimera so what more can be said?! The sunken tracks, whilst pleasing to look at do appear impractical though as wurrkop has pointed out.

I love it looks awesome!

Really does look amazing that dozer blade is just stunning the angle is just more pleasing to the eye I have to agree the sunken tracks just don't work unless this is a showroom piece.

Nice one. The Gunner for the Boltgun needs some sort of vision slit though. It's a tad bit difficult to aim otherwise.

When printer tech catches up with your design skills you week have an awesome looking army!
how much would one squad cost to print?

Sorry for the necro, but I'd really like to see any progress on this.

Fantastic Work !!

Makes me fight the urge to by a 3D printer.

At this point the only reason I don't have a 3D printer is that I don't know how to 3D model, and I haven't had the time and energy to take classes to learn.
