To top it off, I'm in agreement with 2-3 squads of 5 terminator style guys but I'm also tempted to toss in 2 heavy droids ( ... )

Though its tempting to add a package of these to give it a "robot uprising" feeling in the future.

Robots!

or possibly even..
A Flying Robot!

The 25mm robots are awesome! I would base 5 together to give it a horde feel. They would make a good... metal shield.

The T2 flyer is 1/35 scale pewter and will eventually go for $100+, so don't worry about that one.

My mistake. I didn't read carefully enough. It is in fact not pewter. Still may go for a fair bit. I'd keep an eye on it.

First of all, buy the wardroids from rattlehead games: http://www.rattleheadgames.com/catalog/PigIronSci-Fi-WardroidsProducts.html. Their shipping is cheaper ( ... )

just finished getting all the screenshots together to start work on making a rough sketch of the multi-limbed walker.

yeah, i'm thinking 3 hw guys. 1 for each squad, it is also nice for the various poses. then perhaps 2 more from EM-4 as "commanders".

10 from copplestone, its not that much more expensive and it will add a bit of uniqueness into what is already a fairly static look.

the two different wardroids are actually a bit cheaper from the UK (about $2) due to the U.S. dollar fairing better than the Pound. I guess it isn't that hard to believe they are getting more of a shit kicking than the U.S.

- bolt gun metal
- badab black ink wash
- i have black, white, and a lighter grey. i'll have to see about dark grey
- i think i have red but not the red ink
- silver, aye
- loctite superglue, i'll have to check to see if alicia recently picked up some adhesive

lb_mailman July 17 2009, 03:04:56 UTC

oh, and i think i am going to get a set of those small droids

lb_mailman July 17 2009, 03:05:33 UTC

flying robot requires $30 worth of shipping.

terminators are on the way, my paypal purchase wasn't allowed for the wardroids so I'll wait on that.

also decided to pick up the 20 little guys. since i don't use transports, they will do their best to provide cover for the more elite ground troops.

God bless their expendable electronic souls.

I've looked at the sentinels and they need a stand around 5.5/6 inches. A piece of clear plastic tube or something like it would be best. I also think a CD will give it the most stability. A large GW base would also work, but I don't have one. Maybe Alicia can find some kind of plastic tube (probably about as thick as a pen).
The other problem is that they are sticky! The paint they applied to it has not reacted well with the plastic. Spraying it with Testors dullcoat will probably help this a bit.
