After getting the bronzes of the hovertanks I posted a couple of months ago, it seemed that the MBT was more heavy tank sized than anything else, so I commissioned a Light tank to round it out.



I also got an overwhelming urge to combine dinosaurs with guns, so I had Reaver sculpt some tests up for me:



What does everyone think?

Very cool :cool:

I'm not overly excited about the infantry but the Dinos are wicked!

A few points I think could be imporved slightly:

Triceratops (with just one horn) has a rather long neck. I think it would look good if it was a bit denser. Just seems more "tank-ish". Also the turret is a bit "stuck on top". Something could be done to make it look less top heavy or integrated with the harness.

The Raptor looks ace. Could maybe have a few more details on the gun but it is no biggie.

Again, just minor things that I'd personally prefer, but they still look excellent!  :cool:

Fantastic stuff.  Looking forward to seeing more.

The raptor riders are especially appealing, the other dinos are good, and the infantry... not bad, but not making me jump out of my chair.  :agree:

I dare say Chroma may need to speed up progress on getting a running Pointy Eared Dino Riding list.  :)

How much for dinos with guns? The Raptor. The Tricerotops. Sell them to me. SELL ME YOUR DINOS!  ;)

Seriously...you should production-line those bad boys.

Thanks for the comments everyone!  The little guy is actually supposed to be a ceratopsid or some such, a smaller cousin to the triceratops.  He is actually kind of light tank sized, so the turret doesn't look as big in person.

What other dinos would people like to see?  I know I want to have some big bipeds in there.

The oje horned one seems tobe a Monoclonius. Not a Triceratops.

For inspiration look here  :grin:

OK Steve, where are the concept pics/renders for the Bolo-ish vehicles? Out of all the stuff you're working on, these are the most needed (by me!), since SJG doesn't stock any of their Ogre stuff anymore (it's all cast to order for the "out of stock" items, and takes forever to actually get one).  :cool:

If anyone's confused, read this.

Nicely done.  I agree the ceratopsid is a bit off; its small compared to the turret. Making him fatter around the belly and taking a tiny bit off the bottom of the turret would do it IMO.  Of course if he is the 'light tank' you undoubtedly need a regular tank (triceratops).

The Steg looks wicked - fantastic job.  I would certainly buy them, that's for sure.

If you wanted to go for some 'war engines' perhaps a large brachiosaur would be a fun one to work in.  While they'd be slow they would be able to carry some severe firepower.

Also a somewhat larger raptor with a head armor (and maybe something spiky on his head and neck) would be cool.
