Mad Robot Miniatures have previewed a new and well armed sci-fi trooper, the Auslander.
This looks like an interesting new sci-fi alien who could be used in many different games. For instance he might make a good mutant in a Chaos force.

I hope this is a rough WIP – right now he looks awkward, like a head-arms-torso piece has been placed on top of an actual humanoid figure. It’s as if a man is wearing a top-of-body-shaped helmet. The guns look like modern firearms rather than something futuristic as well.
Have to agree
The anatomy for having a double ball and socket joint would have to be totally different to simply stacking one on top of the other imho
mybe so but he does have double the firepower
But he is shooting the floor with the lower rifle.
His right arm doesn’t know what his right arm is doing! lol
Thats rather intresting.
Needs a bit more work from the looks of it.
These are VERY WIP right now. I just threw them up on the blog to get some feedback.
I’m keen to see more comments!
Cheers!
For me the current modelling has the figure with too straight a back and the centre of gravity looks too high
He would need an extra set of shoulder muscles and imho the torso would be bulkier as would probably need extra chest muscles
I can see where you’re coming from on that. I’ve posted some newer updates on the blog http://www.madrobotminiatures.blogspot.com/. Might not be where you where hoping quite yet but they better than what’s shown up top.
Thanks!
Is definitely a better move imho
Also the change of the body armour moves away from modern kevlar type to something more alien and less human
