:-) So, thinking of running some of the "Stormboyz"... But the Squats AFAIK never had jump infantry... Looking at picking up a few Mantic Forge Fathers as additional infantry, but no real idea what to do to make jumpers... Though I do have an old brand "x" jet pack or three I could replicate... Hmmm... Finding the Orks really don't have a lot of choice but play aggressive against Necrons at least... Guessing this will be the case for a lot of armies... And I REALLY like my jump troops...
Long ride on the bike today... 2 hours is apparently my upper limit. Not thinking that it was the seat, I think it was more the lack of highway pegs... Need to be able to stretch the legs a bit now and then, and just not happening on the old Silverwing...
Hasslefree makes some jump packs for their Space dwarf line. I've seen them used on IG, so they are a bit small, but they are good quality and price.

They look nice... If too good really :-)... They look very futuristic, and like they'd actually work :-) I'll probably be digging up some of the old RT era ones I have and seeing how they work with Mantic's minis...
ReplyDeleteI think they would look awesome with little helicopter backpacks! A very dwarvish/orcish thing to do. Or if you want even more orcish, great big rockets strapped to their backs and a goblin with a huge match running around to light them off!

:-) Going more "Dwarf" than "Goblin"... But the rocket packs might be an idea that I can easily scratch build/make one and resin cast a bunch... Especially with the 1/6 chance one just goes splat every single time you use the packs... Sounds like an Acme product to me, maybe have a coyote in there somewhere...
