Space Slann: Reinforcements!


Here's another quick photo update, showing a few more odds and sods I've done for my Space Slann army, (Main post *here*) consisting of an Orbital Transport, a heavy weapon and a crewmember.

More after the cut...




A Slann diplomatic party emerges from it's landing craft. 

So, first up is their spacecraft. This is a small sub-warp shuttle craft allowing diplomatic or small combat parties to travel from their main craft down to the surface.

Paintwise, this was an experiment with using blu-tak for masking, and also spraying a Citadel wash on to the entire surface, which give an interesting 'mottled' effect that I'm particularly happy with.

The ancient Slann pilot, in his enviro-bubble. 

Built into the model is the pilot, an ancient Slann navigator who is permanently entombed into the craft, becoming a part of the ship's systems. The model itself is the old Lord Kroak figure, minus his throne. There's also a flickering LED light in there that illuminates him, but that doesn't show very well.

On the subject of Lord Kroak's throne, here it is, in glorious rotati-vision:







I decided that my Slann needed some heavy artillery, so I knocked this up using a second Lord Kroak model I had knocking around, along with some plastic weapons. The crewmember is one from the excellent Diehard Miniatures Kickstarter from a few months ago.

  1. Wow, I'm impressed, seriously. The saucer is more than nice, I'd say it's a total win, I love every bit here!

  2. Nice work all around, but I particularly like the use of the icons over the shell ejection port on the assault cannon.

  3. Ah, the old spraying washes trick hey? Nice to see an example Diesel :)

    I like the new mini too, looks like a great cross between a Predator and a Slann.

    Nice :)

  5. Very cool mate - where does the saucer come from? I love it! Great idea to entomb the pilot in there, and I love the gun platform too :-)

    1. Thanks! The Ufo is an 'Area 51 UFO' made by Pegasus Hobbies, that I picked up on eBay.
