Two's Company, Three's A Horde

I promised some painted models, and here they are, Horde Troopers to confront She-Ra and the Great Rebellion.


I wanted to get something simple done after the chore of painting the Gun Technicals for Dropzone, and one of the big advantages of sculpts based on the Filmation cartoons is that simplicity is the name of the game.


They are, as you might guess, custom sculpts, and I only bought three for now...not really a horde. However, there should be another opportunity to get a few more in the future, and so I'm likely to add to their numbers.


However, three is a good number as often in the cartoons you only saw three troopers at a time due to 'cost effective' animation standards.


In game terms, I've moved away from making custom 7TV profiles for every character as the sheer volume of profiles available now pretty much ensures that there is something suitable. Horde Troopers easily fit into the minion category which there are versions of in every iteration of the game.

Three models painted counteracts my holiday purchases nicely, moving things in the right direction again.

Acquired: 157
Painted: 90

Next up, some good guys...
