We interupt this broadcast, pt2

Here's some more things I picked up from Trench 2114, his new 3mm scale power SciFi.  I love these little guys. As this his first foray into the tiny, detail is not quite, say, O8 level, but better than most, and the castings are nice and crisp. This may be because he has used what seems to be a slightly harder pewter than the usual. You can just make out in the first image that the middle trooper's heavy weapon barrel is actually hollowed out enough that it caught the ink. They come one of each of these three poses to a sprue, five spruces to a pack.

I can think of several uses for these besides just the missing link in my 3mm scifi plans.  OGRE power armor, for instance, or even a diminuitive yet heavily armed race in 6mm.

We interrupt this broadcast...

In the midst of trying to get all the Scotia pics up and running, a couple of new items arrived.  I placed an order with Trench2114 for some of his smaller stuff and a fairly random order of 15mm SciFi from Noble Knight.

Trench2114 has a small but growing line of 6mm called Alpha Forces if I'm not mistaken. So far it consists of some power armor infantry, the Huzerkers, and these villainous space slugs:

These are the basic man sized 'worker' slugs. Each pack also includes a couple much larger 'warriors':

As you can see they're fairly simple in design overall but have some interesting details including a pair of small facial tentacles and some raised plates, one on the chest and two on the back, which are clearly visible on the warrior pic.

Now what, you ask, is so terribly threatening about space slugs? I haven't worked that out yet exactly. After all if you don't feel like outrunning them, which doesn't seem overly difficult, you could easily defeat them with the salt packets from your ration pack.  Honestly, I just can't resist exotic alien lifeforms, especially in 6mm.  There's no reason to suppose that just because they're visually slug-like they actually have anything in common with earth slugs. There's also nothing tying them to any specific scale so you could, for example, base the small ones in multiples as swarms for larger scales while the warrior is approximately the size of a O8 3mm sci fi tank. "Escargantua is slowly making his way to Paris..."

Because they're apparently unarmed, they could also be used as alien civilians which need protection from the more unpleasant sort of alien visitor.

Also picked up these Huzerkers which, in Trench2114s universe, are apparently mutated humans:

Whatever you want to use them for, they're some pretty decent 6mm power armor troops. There are three rifle poses in each pack plus one leader pose and one light support weapon which reminds me of a brute-shot being fired from the hip. They come ten to a pack with two of each pose.  I think I'll be painting them a dark grey/black with a white helmet which should leave them looking suitably threatening, kind of Chaos Marines meets Traveller.
