Rep Power: 65 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Imperial Cavalry units are one of the best and cheapest (points-wise) counter-assault units available, but no decent models exist for them, so we're going to make them ourselves for our club members. We started with our concept art: ![]() ![]() This creature is based on the Moa, an extinct eleven feet tall creature native to New Zealand. The Moa is very similar to a Veloci-Raptor, both in silouette, speed, ferocity, and intelligence, but it is unusual in that is has no arms/wings, not even little ones. Moa were very strong, able to break through a man's skull or snap a man in half with their lightning fast beaks as effortlessly as popping a balloon. The Moa has been the inspiration for other Sci-Fi creatures you might be familiar with in movies like Wizards, Naausica, Final Fantasy, and some Star Wars critters. The rider will carry a shocklance, which would be an equivalent weapon that would use the same rules as a hunting lance. Here's our Work In Progress shots so far. It is fun to see the progression from armature to full model. The sculpting is about 50% done at this point, so look here for more updates as sculpting progresses. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() More updates to come. |

Nice work! Altough we both know thats a chocobo... (save the fact - a chocobo got wings... hmm...) Well, nonetheless a good replacement for the butt ugly rough riders of GW.
