Anyway, as part of the Kolony project here's the masters for some new figs - System Scavengers. They follow the same bulky, hard sci-fi design theme of the Kolony range but unlike the standard System Troopers their armour is less hi-tech and made up of multi-layered overlapping plates and padding. This tends to tone down the overtly elite military look as befits their role as heavily armed, far ranging scavenger teams. I will probably add more wear and tear and customisation as these get cut-up and used to create more figs.
The keen eyed among you may notice how the weapon and respirator has been cropped up before on the rebel command sprue reinforcing the idea that the rebels utilise all kinds of looted weaponry and equipment.
The even more keen eyed will notice how the weapon is actually an updated design of the Heavy Infantry weapon, which was one of the first things I ever sculpted and was a bit basic so I always wanted to revisit it.
The bodies without arms etc are the basis for command, special and heavy weapon and casualty packs which will be next up for sculpting.
These have been done as single piece castings with separate heads allowing you loads of customising opportunities for a wide range of game settings. We know you love it that way.
