For those familiar with Force on Force / Tomorrow's War, I was considering TQ:D6/M:D12 at first, but following the rules precisely they would have to be TQ:D8/M:10 as Tech Level 3 Bots. This would make them better soldiers than their opponents in the Unified Marine Corps, as their Troop Quality & Morale would match, but they will have the various Bot advantages like everything being in Optimum Range, no penalties for firing when moving, Armour: 2D etc. This might not be a bad thing though, it just makes them a challenging prospect. With flamethrowers added in the mix, these 'droids could become the bane of the UMC.
The miniatures are the fantastically sculpted 'Shalur Mercenaries' from Rebel Minis. The variety & quality of the Shalur poses is really impressive.
These are very nicely done, PC- it's good to see these painted up, as I believed they were nice sculpts, very much like another of their alien races, the name of which escapes me! Anyhow, these look terrific, so congrats!
ReplyDeleteThanks. It's a really simple one-colour scheme, with only the inked black recesses, upper-surface highlighting, & red lenses/sensors to pick out the details, but I'm very pleased with how these came out.
ReplyDeleteRather than blending into the terrain with camouflage like the UMC, I see these bots as a bit mantis-like, looking like part of the jungle itself.
