Mad Robot March Out in Greatcoats
June 19, 2012 by dracs
Greatcoats make everything look cooler right? Well OK maybe not Justin, but it does work on this new mini from Mad Robot.
This guy is now up for pre-order and should be appearing within the next two weeks.
While by no means the most groundbreaking sculpt I have ever seen, it is nonetheless a serviceable sci-fi trooper who could be at home in a variety of gaming systems?
Who thinks their army would look cooler in greatcoats?
Perfect for Weird War 2 – the gut instinct says use it as a German soldier but looking at the gun which is a drum-fed version of the Aliens pulse rifle I’d use it for the Allies as that particular movie prop used a Thompson (‘Tommy’) submachine gun which is an American weapon. The helmet also isn’t too ‘chamber pot’ in style to make it purely German. Good sculpt.
Imperial Guard is a taken with any sci-fi infantry model, but I can see this used also for Dust and other Weird War 2 like Captain America comics do have grunts that look like this.
