DreamForge Show Off Heavy Troopers & Space StuGs!
August 29, 2014 by brennon
DreamForge Games have put together the awesome final artwork for their Valkir Heavy Troopers and it's looking very flash since it also shows off the rather spiffing looking Eisenkern StuG tanks that I know will make Warren a very happy man indeed...
These heavy troopers come with twenty per box and a mass array of weaponry to bring to bear too. We'll show off a few more of them in detail in a minute below but let's just take another look back at those awesome 'space StuGs'! You know Warren has been making up a strike team for Warhammer 40,000 recently? Maybe he'll end up including these as an Imperial Guard asset on the battlefield!
One neat thing the designer added was that he liked the idea that the StuGs had been facing down the Mortis you can see under the rubble in the background and instead of trying to take it on just collapsed a building on top of it. Sounds perfectly legitimate as a strategy to me!
Some great looking heavy infantry models that look like they have real weight to them without appearing cumbersome and awkward. You can imagine them being able to walk around in all that armour and carry the guns. Talking of guns, those are some nice takes on weaponry from grenade launchers to flame throwers and standard rifles. Perfect for a heavily clad force on the battlefield.
What do you think of these heavy infantry and their space StuG?
If I was ever to run a 40k army (casual play with mates) I would seriously consider converting Dreamforges stuff.
Like the troops love the stugs more.
Oooo, likey!
Stugs look awesome
Those stugs look cool, hopefully they’re as detailed as the apc kit they’ve been showing off
Not quite yet, they are still a WIP, they are about 70-80% detailed at the moment.
I’ve loved the look of these troops ever since I saw the early renders and cannot wait to get my hands on them! I thought I’d never see them get released. Also waiting on the other heavies as well.
Gotta say I’m loving the look of the StuG. I’m not a big into vehicles, but I just might have to get some of those.
Can’t wait for these. Was in two minds about adding them during the kickstarter.
Looks like I have a new replacement for chaos space marines in my army.
I never go the “need-it-now” route, but I need these now. Right now.
Right. Now.
Hmmmm these would be ideal to use for modelling one of the “the forgotten and the purged” legions – purged for mixing Xenos and Imperial tech maybe …. or nicer minis for SM scouts ….
Bloody marvellous! I will wager Warren came in his pants when he saw those Stugs. I know I did 🙂
I’m not keen on the heads, but I do really like the bodies. With a good head swap I can see these making good heavily armoured troops. Carapace armoured veterans perhaps.
Those sci-fi hover Stug’s look awesome indeed. I hope they come with alternate weapon options though as I’d like something a bit bigger than the stumpy low velocity howitzers there.
But even with just that, it looks awesome. Definitely want it.
