ALCON:
Welcome to the 509th Hard Suit (HS) Battalion, Echo Company. 

Humpties, Dumpties, Eggheads, - Forget the insults,  You are now part of Hard Suits family.  The 509th HS Brigade, Echo CO first formed in 2059AL in support of OP Melted Popsicle, Pluto.  It later saw action and received multiple commendations  in over 50 missions in the revolt of the Exxon Infected on Titan.  E Co has provided security for the Pan-Olympic games on Mars in 64'.  Currently it is working to bring democracy to the splintered tribes in the heart of Omega 3.
  
Echo Company currently has 6, PIP-4000A4 Minx Class hardsuits, 16 Explosive Detection Working Dogs, and 33 Soldiers.  We are a combined arms unit mixing Infantry and Hard Suits.  In addition, given the insurgency's reliance on IED's we have the distinction of being the first 509th company to have Working dogs, Bomb Disposal, and Ballistic Cover/Entry Personnel.    

Please report to CW2 Eastbrook, 1st platoon HS OP for billeting issues before reporting.

I look forward to serving with you and welcome aboard!

Titanium Dropship - UNSC-L Troopers

By Pok!

"I've went for more flashy than the typical realistic-camo approach, because hey, active camouflage is scifi too. I've only learned about the competition yesterday (cause despite browsing the blog regularily I managed to miss the announcement) so it's more of a speed-painting entry than anything else, but hey, no harm in trying!  So anyway, below is the "Kings in Yellow", a troop of the 44th CentEuropean light dragoons, equipped with light power armor."

Why Hump it When You Can Ride a Khamel

Ion Age's New Tracked Bike



The folks at The Ion Age have released their really cool new light vehicle, the Khamel. Not just a vehicle this is a true miniatures set featuring a mounted and dismounted version of bike and rider. A must-have for any Muster player or player looking for a lovely vehicle for their rough and tumble future settings.

For full details head over - HERE.

Also, a quick note, we are in the last few days to get your hands on the Xin Envoy.


This figure goes away at the end of February and will not be available again, even when his Xin brethren make their appearance later in 2014.

Titanium Dropship - Red Shadows, Sabre Heavy Grav Tank & Post-Apocalyptic Building

From Paul at Mini Metal Mayhem.

"The Red Shadows: all details are hand painted, even the skull & crossbones helmet markings."





"Old Crow Sabre Heavy Grav Tank;  I've added various extra details including stowage baskets and contents, fuel drum, comms antennae, lots of grab handles and a couple of tarpaulins sculpted from milliput."




"This is a Fallout-inspired building constructed from foamcore and cardboard plus a few extra items from my bits box.  The mesh windows should help in keeping out zombies or radioactive mutants..."




Titanium Dropship - Not-Predators

"A pack of blooded hunters led by Nta'Mek-Ta (The Silent Stalker in Yautja language). These figures are part of a larger Aliens Vs Predator project which wil eventually will have the Corporation, Marines,  Aliens and of course the Predators which will probably have a few more hunter packs.

Miniatures are all Khurasan apart from the Yautja hunting falcon which I sculpted myself. Didn't get the ship finished in time but it will do as background for the pics."


By Brummie from Brummie's Wargaming Blog!




Titanium Dropship - As Saiqa Drop Troops

"These guys are my As Saiqa Drop Troops.  These guys are blue moon miniatures orion republic heavy infantry, though I arabized the leader a bit with some a mop of black curly hair.  They're the spearhead for my Neo-Caliphate troops (Khurasan space arabs!), which I'd show here too if I could enter more than one." By Zabarr!

Video - Applying a Liquid Masking to a 15mm Raven VTOL

Hi everyone,

I've posted another video up, this time on how to apply liquid masking agent around the canopy of a Raven VTOL.

I also ramble about airbrush painting and a variety of other things.



Thanks and I look forward to hearing any feedback you have!
