So here's the deal with Space Crusade: as I mentioned in my previous post it ... well ... isn't anymore :(.

There're a number of reasons for this the foremost being that it's someone else's IP - with the release of the new Warhammer game (2009) the Warhammer universe is a pretty toxic place to be at the moment. Also with Dave completely addicted to online gaming now; it seems unlikely any models will be forthcoming this year (and it's been more than a year since he first agreed draw the Space Crusade models).

All is far from over though: I am now doing all the modelling myself and am no longer playing in the Warhammer universe. To that end I have learned to model - somewhat ;) - and I have modelled the first team of Space Marinettes. I am retaining most of the gameplay but without the dice and the Warhammer rules.


This is the first character I've ever modelled (and practically the first character I've ever attempted). Actually the red girl was the first modelled and the purple girl was the last.


There are a quite a lot of mistakes; due mostly to my lack of knowledge of the human form. Seriously - it's bloody complicated ;). But also a couple technical stuff ups which I just can't be arsed to fix.

So that's the team - they have names and designations and everything. Variously: Opal (purple) is the leader. Ione (red) is the medic. Adelle (green) is heavy weapons. Saffron (yellow) is demolitions. And lastly Page (blue) is communications. It's a bit of break from the Space Crusade gameplay but I think having specific roles should make things more interesting.

And I need to sleep now.

Later!
