In the Hive, Queen and Country universe we have a culture on Venus with troops armed with rocket weapons. The small arms will be gyro pistols and carbine en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyrojet and heavier weapons will be things like RPG-2 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RPG-2 Does anyone know of a 15mm range of figures that have exotic costumes that might work well for this? |

Yikes… that's a tall order. Maybe some of the Pulp figures from Rebel? Blue Moon makes some mid-century French Foreign Legion that could probably be converted without too much effort:
If you PM me, I can probably whip up some 15mm-scale gyrojet-looking weapons for you. Blue Moon also has these Indirion Legion folks in their "Alien" lineup:

They are all conversions, you could do something similar, without putting as much detail as I have,as javelin suggested, start with a suitable figure, and trim the weapon, give a slightly differant (or even totally differant) paint job. Or if your will to do the work, imagination + green stuff. |

Gunner, those are brilliant! Did you sculpt each of those gas masks individually? |
Gunner Dunbar | 10 Mar 2015 10:14 p.m. PST |
Yes, I find I can't paint standard figs anymore I am compelled to convert everything, it's almost a sickness. |

Well, don't get counseling or anything, because then we'd be deprived of the fruits of your madness. Well done! |
