'Epic Fail' from AlanD - 'Squad, into the Crater!'


'Squad! Into the crater! Go, go go!' While encountering sporadic sniper fire in Quadrant 13, Unteroffizier Steiner and his men increase their knowledge of the local wildlife. Briefly.



Figures are from Dreamforge, with a bit of converting to alter some poses. The beastie is made from greenstuff and copper wire. Think these may be the first sci-fi figures I've ever painted. Something I like about the Bonus Rounds is the opportunity to try something different. Gee these Dreamforge figures are nice, by the way.

  7. Great work, Alan. I love the photos, leading the troopers up the crater and then you see the pit monster. And top marks for martian soil/earth!

  13. This vignette is super, it really captures the sense of movement and suspense of the faith awaiting the troopers as they climb the slope towards Death or Glory...
