Heads up for a fun little Indiegogo crowd-funder for Alien Shocktroopers by sculptor Pierre-François Jacquet. The miniatures certainly are a wild and colourful mix. Have a look!
#1 – Tabili Federal Shocktrooper
Tabilii shocktroopers are all criminals on their homeworld. Not only they find redemption in the corps (at least in the eyes of the Federation) but for some reason yet to be discovered, they have the lowest rate of insubordination or trouble-making among all species in the corps.
#2 - Hent Federal Shocktrooper
The hent got obvious physical skills for the shocktroopers. But they are also a very intelligent race and make good officers who know how to be obeyed.
#3 - Kurabian Federal Shocktrooper
Naturally protected by a carapace in addition to the standard armor issued to all shocktroopers, the kurabians have the lowest rate of losses during engagements. They also have the lowest percentage of honoured soldiers which might explain a part of their ability to survive.
#5 - Ovolo federal Shocktrooper with Combat Exo-Skeleton
Ovolos are worms who need exo-skeletons to meet the criteria of the corps. They rarely tell their motivations to join the shocktroopers but they must be really serious considering the price of such an equipment.
#5 – Thoughts?
Certainly these would all fit very well into a Mos Eisely Cantina, don’t you think?
For more aliens, have a look at Pierre-Francois’ blog or the Indiegogo campaign itself.
Let me know what you think!
