"15mm Space Portal Guards" Topic

Hi All,

A quick preview of some Space Portal Guards. 15mm "scale" and approx 20mm to the top of their heads. 4 in total just being finished off.

Cheers

Adam

These are cool, GZG does something similar but I think yours look a little nicer. Are you planning on doing the different animal heads? ala the film/series?

Also, fancy doing a storm trooper seeming as copyright does't seem to be an issue…

Yes, lots of different heads would be cool.

Where will these be on sale from? Any takers yet?

Excellent.

Wish they head changeable heads!

I had asked Jon of GZG for some bareheaded year ago, still wainting…

Dude these are great! You definitely need to do some 'dog-head' and 'hawk-head' gate guards! ;)

I suppose whoever buys these could go where the originals didn't?

Go with some other animal heads as well.

Lion, Croc, Ibis?

Not only would this expand the line beyond the original IP, it will set itself apart from it.

EDIT: Changed this so it doesn't seem like I projecting at the sculptor. These were meant as general ideas.

Sorry Adam

Like the bodies but I think the heads look a bit rushed, they have an almost Beany and Cecil-esque look to them.

Think I prefer the GZG, although Jon quite sensibly does not have them illustrated on his webstore.

Definitely would be nice to see bareheaded versions too, or head swaps.

the heads look a bit rushed

He is just finishing them off… ;-)

More is good. More heads is better.

You may be right but I suspect what he meant was that he's finishing additional poses.

Additional poses are being worked on, this one is 95% done with a few bits needing tweaking

These please me.

How about some Turians from Mass Effect, whiffwaff?

nice point , Jeff….but what I would like to see is 5 poses of Geth from mass effect..those would sell like hotcakes

Y'know, in all fairness, it wouldn't even be just Turians or Geth. If anyone came out with licensed or "not-Mass Effect" clones, I'd push the limits of spouse-rage purchasing it.

This one would like to politely request the inclusion of Hanar. (this one is embarassed to say that a miniature of Blasto would be especially appreciated)
This one also thinks that Elcor and Volus would be useful. (although this one realizes that rebel's sons of thunder could work for the Volus)

Now that I'm done with that annoying speach pattern, I'd like to lend my vote in support of alternate animal helmets for the jaffa.

Finally!

Been dying for some Jaffa. I like the GZG ones, but I really need the bareheaded masses and heavy weapons team in this scale.

Ooooo, those look awesome!!! Need some with Jackal heads though.

I'd like to see as many head variants as possible. I think the best appearance wise would be a cat head variant, the others Croc, and Ibis may be harder to pull off well

Variants allow us to have a mix in our forces and give them different stats for different roles. Having a force of one unit type is bland.

Jaffa, kre!
Please tell me that you are going to cast and sell them

Need some of these…

Will they be guarding one of these?

Check back latter today for the full set :)

These Jaffa/Portal Guards look great and i really like the idea of casting them with separate heads so that the buyer can then choose which deity they want them to belong to.

Some more figures.

Helmeted:

Bare headed:

Cheers

Adam

Any idea who's picking those up?

Wow!

That was quick, Adam.

While the magic lamp seems to be working, maybe a Lion (Mithra) or Bull Head (Minos)?

-Eli

Love them!!!

Dan

Adam,

How do we contact you?

-Eli

Just waiting for membership to clear again then you can pm me

In meantime have mailed you at loud ninja Eli.

I want them. Desperately.

This is in fantasy discusion why?

Because Stargate is a mix of Sci-Fi and Fantasy.

This is in fantasy discusion why?

Because figures like this have serious crossover potential. There is nothing openly scifi on those sculpts at all.

They could easily be fantasy Egyptians with magical totem helmets and staffs of power.

Any minis sculptor/producer worth his lead and putty will capitalize on crossover potential.

-Eli

So who's got em and when are they selling em?

I want some of these as well. I've been rewatching Stagate SG1 and just got to Season 4. So great timing for these minis.

LOL! I am on season 4 :) Rewatching it too :)

LOL i went the other route I've just finished watching all five seasons of Stargate Atlantis,i cant remember the online store that sells them but i need to buy myself a 15mm scale stargate and i have been toying around with making a few puddle jumpers out of sweetex distributors and some scrap plastic. Now if someone was to sculpt a few Wraith and Wraith guard miatures that would be fantastic…

15mm Wraith will be awesome.

I am wandering if I cut rifles in half of these Peter Pig Polish to make some Genii. Maybe some greenstuff to modify their weapons.

Good idea, should work a treat for Genii. And as generic mid/low tech troopers.

Small suggestion… the ears on the Anubis (jackal) guys could be a big taller. Not sure if that's doable at this scale, but to me the very tall pointed ears make it classically Egyptian.

I am wandering if I cut rifles in half of these Peter Pig Polish to make some Genii. Maybe some greenstuff to modify their weapons.

Great idea they will look good as Genii wanabees and i would also try making new weapons from putty.

Good eye on the possible Genii figs… ditto on Wraith! :)

But I do love what you've done with your Space Portal Guards, can't wait to see them available.

I am wandering about Ori in 15mm

I think they can be created from some late medieval spearmen or halberd warriors by just sculpting new spearhead. Maybe these 4 packs from Peter Pig can make cool looking Ori army? 4 packs mean 12 poses and 32 miniatures, pr 8 4 man-squads, 5 6-man squads, 4 8-man squads and or 3 10-man squads.

Ori Prior proxy from 15mm.co.uk fantasy range. I am so inspired! So we can make Genii and Ori in 15mm, and when whiffwaff's Jaffa will be released, we can make armies of different System Lords!!!!

Oh man. You guys are awesome. Why the hell did I not think to use some medieval pikemen for Ori?! My gaming group will LOVE that we finally have more ideas and minis for doing Stargate games.

Whiff Waff, are you considering the figures you posted finished? I feel like they could use a bit of finishing on teh back of the helmets, they all look a little off (I suppose it could be the light or the way the greenstuff is catching it)

Also, will these scale with GZG's offerings?

For Asgard we can use these unarmed Rebel Minis Greys

Any update on these figs?

I imagine any updates will come from the producer that bought them from Adam.

-Eli

Updates?
