WIP Update - Elysian Drop Trooper

[RobH]

I've got round to painting more of this little fella..........

still bits to do, need to paint the weapon and some small details, add more to the visor (not happy)

comments and critiques welcome and encouraged!!

I like it a lot. Are these figures always in khaki? Or are there other options?

cheers Jay

as far as I know, you can do them as you want.....this was inspired by modern US special forces more than anything. Turns out, so were Forgeworld in their Taros Campaign book.

Nice looking progress Rob. I do like the Sci-Fi thing. Tried my hand at it once, never really got that far though. You know me and my Nappies! :lol: Will there be more Drop Troopers to accompany him or is he the Lone Ranger?

Rob, Nice job. They are neat little figures to paint up. So what are your plans for a base/ groundwork?~Gary

 

[RobH]

thanks chaps.

This guy will be all on his lonesome, on a very small base, walking over a rusting walkway - going to get me some etched or stamped brass tread.......inspired by some of the excellent minis I've seen on other sites.

 

[Guy]

Excellent work Rob........what size is he? Khakis are spot on.

 

[RobH]

he's 30mm, Guy

Hi Rob

He’s cool looking, love all the ware and tear on his helmet and goggles, there is so much detail in these 30mm figures its unbelievable how well its sculpted, but you do it justice Rob. how many do they have in their range...?

Hey Rob, very impressed with this Braille Scale, do you have a link to look at purchasing this sort of stuff. You have wetted my appetite!

Elysians at Forgeworld!!

they're not cheap, by any imagination, but incredible multipart kits. Some fools buy whole armies of these guys to game with!!!

 

[RobH]

a little update

painted the gun, non of this NMM malarky!!! Well, not today

 

[Uruk-Hai]

Nice work there Rob!

I like the greens the best and the skull on his shoulder.

Cheers

Keep up the good work.

Cheers.

So very cool. I'm going to get some of these, you've inspired me!!

There's a guy here at work who's very heavily into Warhammer 40K so he said he'd lead me through the gaming part, as it does seem quite interesting. Do you game or do you just like painting them?

Would be good to see more of these done by you.

Regards

Tim
