I picked these figures up at CanCon last month on a whim because they are great value. They are Wargames Atlantic Raumjäger- unapologetically FJ with some scifi trimmings and a G36-esque lasrifle. You get 24 in a box- six sprues of four poses, each including a variety of heads and weapons. I assembled four as a test and painted them to match some of my other figures- they could be Imperial Guard, or bulk out my Genestealer Cult, or corporate mercs, or some kind of paramilitary. I may try some different heads next batch. I may test the waters of Victoria Miniatures. I would like to see some support weapons in the future. I struggled a bit with the goggles and masks. The helmets were a bit plain and light, so I added some flecks.
I used some spare GSC arms on the leader- they're OK.
I had to convert this figure to hold a rifle in his left hand.
Importantly, they've kept the Y-Tragegestell.

Those chaps look nicely creepy Barks. Well worth 50 points.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Dave!
DeleteAgree with Dave, cool Sci Fi
ReplyDeleteCheers, Ken!
DeleteNice work on these guys, and good conversions. Pity about the Y webbing though!
ReplyDeleteNo, it is essential!
DeleteGood to see the Y-webbing has survived into a future time :)
ReplyDeleteWell done Barks.
I completely agree!
DeleteReally cool! The colour scheme works as well!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sander! There’s a lot of potential for colour schemes here.
DeleteGreat looking snide guardsmen!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Cheers, Iain!
Deletevery nice
ReplyDeleteThanks, Martin.
DeleteHmm, one would have thought in the far future they'd know better than wearing Y-webbing in battle... be that as it may, the painting is of course very nice! The colour scheme makes me instantly think of them fighting in an urban environment.
ReplyDeleteI wanted them to match some of my cultists. I think that a proper camp scheme would work well.

DeleteFab stuff Barks.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Paul!
DeleteNot your usual run of the mill falschirmjäger but still cool.
