A multi-part range of (mostly) female warriors in powered armour I've been working on.

Also, thanks!

I really like it.

The backpack looks a bit too "clean" for my taste, but the rest is just great.
I would probably add more rivets on the joints of armour. Especially on arms and legs. Those kind of tiny details make the whole miniature pop.
And if I may notice, they seem a bit bulkier than some other space nuns floating around...  :P

I certainly agree on the backpack. In future revisions I plan on making them a bit smaller and adding more details. We had some format issues that meant they didn't get the once over by Stefan before going to print. Sadly we didn't have time to resolve them so it'll have to wait until the next generation of them. With any luck that won't be too long though as the prints we ended up with aren't as crisp as I'd have liked.

More rivets on the armour? Good idea!
They're entirely modular so each component should eventually get an upgrade or alternative further down the line. There's going to be non boob plate armour too in the near future for folks who prefer that setup. I've got a set of jetpack legs on the go too.

As for bulkiness I think I can see where you're coming from, at least if you're thinking of GW's old models from the 1990s. I've not had a chance to take a proper look at the Svarog ones yet so I'm not sure how mine stack up with theirs.

A question for you - would you like to see more figure-hugging armour? I can have a go at that if it's something you'd like to see!  :)

I'll agree to the backpacks being bulky and the rivits, however I'm glad to see the bulky armor as opposed to the traditional latex with metal trim. It's armor fitting for a female marine in space. :D I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with in the future for variation. :)

I also like the bulk in the armour. Finding good female wargaming figures in armour that looks tough and bulky rather than fitted but flimsy is surprisingly difficult, which I think is a selling point of these.

Cheers, guys. I've not shown these to many people so far and it's encouraging to hear that they're not dreadful!

I'm excited to make more, annoyingly so. That is to say I want to work on more designs right now but I need to focus on making production moulds (i.e. a whole load of models in one mould rather than just one set). Right now I can crank them out at about a sprue of three per half hour. Not exactly fast!

Heavy weapon models are done but not yet printed, same on special pistols (as opposed to the standard sidearms).

A Night goblin big boss with great weapon converted from an ancient orc archer (and a ton of weird bits I had laying around):

My night goblin BSB:

   

There's still some minor green-stuffing left to be done, but other than that it's mostly finished.

I do love a bit of night goblining. Devious little gits!

If you'd like I can bring you an inch or two of green stuff tomorrow? I was considering bringing some minis to give away anyway.

I mean, I think I'm going to have to do an order of such things from someone anyway soon, but if you have a bit going spare I'm happy to to take it off your hands/remunerate you for it if needs be. :)
