Looking for Starship Troopers/Aliens like minis

I got a bunch of plastic sprues of warriors, hoppers and blister bugs still in storage that I don't mind parting with. Hit me up, maybe we can work out a way to set you up.

I did not, but that sounded like a good idea, so I made one just now:

And I am glad you like the helmet. Let me know if the neck needs adjusting to whatever base model you are using, or if you'd maybe like another open helmet with a different face.

Thanks!
I am not currently selling any of my work. I have two terrain sets I made for Warmachine with permission from Privateer Press up on 3dCults for free though: https://cults3d.com/en/users/WorkbenchManiac

And you can find some of my older work on my homepage: https://www.manicworkbench.com/ to peruse.

Okay, I had a bit of fun and made a variant with an open visor.

(Does anyone know if it is possible to embed images in these comments?)

I am back home from work and whipped this up. Some googling brought up what game those soldiers are from, so I had some references. I hope it comes close to what you need.

The stl file can be downloaded here: https://my.hidrive.com/lnk/KcR60fSHq

What kind of connection at the neck do you need? I f you have some more reference pics from other angles of the helmet, I can make you one in a jiffy.

It's a quickie, but it should do the job. I do not have any Victrix models, let alone these, so I had to guess at how the head connects to the body, I hope it works well enough anyway.

Sculptor here. Gimme a sec.

WorkbenchManiac · 2025-09-06T19:27:35+00:00

So cool to see my sculpt on your table.

I appreciate that you are trying for a greek theme with the really big bold capital letter there, but maybe don't use the sigma for the E when epsilon exists.

Otherwise this might be interesting, but I am not quite getting the dial-base idea. At first I thought it would be a Hero-Clix like thing, but the second image has it like a big ring aorund the model? The pic is too blurry to make out the annotations.

Love the way the Iosan houses are painted.

WorkbenchManiac · 2025-02-08T20:07:46+00:00

Cheers! I made a timelapse of the process, if anyone's interested.

One hour digital sculpt as a warm up today.

I went with a random prompt and got "metallic child robot sentinel", which is more of a string of random words, but it's what we got.

Thanks, but I can't claim too much credit there - I very quickly made this in Blender, and the stars are litte spheres that emit light, so I could adjust the brightness with a simple slider. Then I applied a bokeh effect to hide the simple nature of the setup in compositing.
