I got my Christmas sale order of Sons of Thunder link from Rebel Miniatures in the mail today.

Fast service and they look like fun.

I will post pictures tomorrow compared to my Khurasan Lhurgg for comparison of scale/size.

*****

I am planning to sculpt a larger version, keeping it in scale to the others, just a larger 15mm version.

I was looking for painted Sons of Thunder…who has painted miniatures of these fine little guys?

Bought them recently. Cool figures! No paint yet, sorry.

PS. I was thinking of taking a couple of the duplicates and adding little alien astronaut helmet antennae to them . . . just to see how they turn out. Should I make the attempt?

I have some, too, and haven't painted mine, either.

As they look rather retro, I was wondering about brass/copper helmets and air tanks, and Deep Red/GW Gore Red jump suits – perhaps with a blue or yellow seam stripe on the trousers. How does that sound?

Sure Dan, that looks like a fun exercise.

Thor, I remember suggesting the Sons of Thunder for your project, and I think they will look great against your existing clan.

In hand they look great…tons of detail in a small form, good stuff.

I suspected there were some out there but I could not find any pictures of painted ones.

For me, being that they are small I was thinking a broken pattern of solid contrasting colors to give an illusion of increased size like the one on the right picture

For the colors I have not picked yet, but I may use several primary colors to show unit function…security RED, medical BLUE, etc…and pair this primary with white.

28mmMan,

Could this work as a small lander for you little guys?
