Lockdown Day 63

Hi!

I've spent much of today sculpting or drawing! I've got my four Mechs finished and ready to paint and have spent a bit of time putting together some papertech Nexus Cyclo's for Kryomek:

Cyclo Troopers

I went a slightly different route with these guys than with my Battletech stuff as I scanned them into the computer first which allowed me to quickly churn out a force and I am pretty pleased with the results.

 Combat Rifles

They're a bit stylised but were lots of fun to work on and I have enough of the little guys to play a decent sized skirmish using Kryomek or Song of Blasters or any other game I fancy that needs some poorly armoured convict troopers to get shot up.

 Pistols and Xeno Prods

Thus far I have one sheet of them drawn up but am working on another which will round out the weapon options and possibly add some casualties, command or even some EVA heavy armoured troops.

 Assault Specialists

I used 25mm squares of cardboard to give them a bit more heft so they don't fall over whenever you look at them which has proved rather handy too and I'm looking forward to rounding out my Kryomek infantry collection tomorrow.

Heavy Weapons

Once I'm done, I'll post up the sheets as jpegs so folks can download them and use them too and plan on putting together a bit of a page with lots of stuff for people to print and play as it's the least I can do during the lockdown!

If folks want, I can also put together a Battletech sheet or two so they can print them out too. Each sheet will be black and white and folks will be able to colour them in to whatever colour they fancy to make them more usable.

Once I have all the Kryomek stuff done, I'm planning on moving onto Void 1.1 and Chronopia and Warzone 1st edition so watch this space!

In the meantime, All the best!

  1. Really, really nice! I might scale those down and use them for a 15mm project.

    1. Feel free!

      I'll get the sheets up this afternoon. I tried printing them off at 50% and they still look fine so 15mm should be absolutely ok!

  2. Wooooooo

    Lovely and cute. Miss the cyclo forehead glow. After all that give 'em the name.

    Also liked they had ♀️♂️ gender symbols on the shirt as being shaved one could segregate convict troopers easy.

    Great work.

    I also recall some of them having enviro suits...

    1. I may have to add some tiny gender symbols to the next lot I colour in!

      The Cyclo troops were a really characterful way of representing convict troopers and I do like that their spiritual successors, the Junkers from Void had a somewhat similar approach but the Cyclopian control system looks pretty cool!

    1. Many thanks!

      I think I'm going to have a fair few different forces in paper in the coming weeks along side more of my own sculpts.
