Micropanzer Show Off the Blueprints for New Sci-Fi Troopers
May 1, 2012 by brennon
Micropanzer Wargame Studios have shown off some concept art of their forthcoming Sci-Fi troopers. There are some pretty awesome miniatures on the way if these see the light of day...
The first thing that immediately struck me was the fact that they all look a lot like alternative Spartans from the Halo universe! That is of course no bad thing, and I like the mix of rough armour plating and high-tech gadgetry. The Jet Trooper is even based off a piece of technology that already exists today.
What do you make of these concept pieces?
Those are interesting. I am liking idea of that flight pack infantry.
I hope the fluff for those Jet Troopers has them being launched from high altitude for fast covert insertions then dumping the excess weight or something similar – that flight pack is way too unwieldy to wear constantly in combat. Still it’s a different approach to the idea as you never normally see them that big. It grounds the design in reality a little more, so the finished models should look quite gritty.
The glider/jet pack is what I like the most. I like that its big and looks like something that really could exist. It has a retro feel to it as well.
Really like the fact that they are designed around real concepts and body shapes/
15mm Strikes again……even more forces to acquire….
