Quirkworthy

Another one of the teases the other day was a Sorak. These are another of the fun aliens that make up the Rebel faction and can best be described as foot soldiers.

Sorry.

Anyway, like the Orc Commander, you may not have seen this lovely little model from more than one angle, so here he is. Note that this is a pre-production resin and is shown at lots larger than real size (which is 29mm to the top of his head) without having been cleaned up first. You should ignore any blemishes as any mould lines on the final version will be in a different place anyway as the production models use a completely different mould and process.

And in case you are confused: yes he is walking on his hands and holding the rifle in his feet. Because he can.

This is another model I’m very pleased with. Originally the concept came up for DreradBall though he hasn’t yet made it into that game. Nice to see him making an appearance here.

The tricky part now is deciding what colour he should be.

One of the models I showed a little of yesterday was the Orx Commander, or at least the first one – I’m sure we’ll do more.

You’ve seen this picture on the Kickstarter and the mantic blog.

So you know what he looks like assembled and you can see the arms and head fairly clearly in the pic above. The following are a load of close ups of the body without the arms in the way. The pictures can speak for themselves.

Personally I really like him. Lots of detail to make him stand out from the troopers with his epaulets and tassels to denote his standing.

His pose is a nice change from the frothing loony combat monster Orx of which we have seen many versions. Plenty of time to revisit that meme in an exo-suit later 🙂

I’ve lost count how many zombies I’ve killed today. They are a pesky lot, either dying too fast or not fast enough. Still, “dying” is an odd thing for a zombie to do at all.

Yes, I’ve been tinkering with the zombie rules for Deadzone and they’re coming along quite well. At present they still take a bit too long to play through and need more trimming. I think I’ve worked out how to fix that, but I’ll need to play it out a bit more tomorrow to be sure. Sometimes ideas seem really good in theory and fall apart really quickly in practice. Best to try it for real.

Note that these are slow zombies (and they’re not really zombies anyway). If you’re brain’s been mushed by an alien mutagen then I’m thinking that you’ll not be as spry as you might be. Of course, there are up-sides. You’re not bothered by little things like being shot at or injured….
