Subject: 25mm alien combat armor
I'm looking for a 25mm figure in combat suit or battle armor with a helmet that looks like it can fit a snout (as in a dog's snout)..... Any suggestions? Other than Space Marines? I want to build a squad or three of Vargr from Traveller to use in boarding scenarios once I get my 25mm deckplans done (though we'll probably actually have gravitics by the time that happens). Thanks, Jed Docherty

Geeze, where the heck did THAT come from?!? Somebody quick call in the NBS! SAVE ME FROM MYSELF! The_Beast

Stan Johansen apparently has the Rauwoof molds now, but none of them have enclosed helmets. Maybe I should try putting a Space Marine or Alternative Army Crusader head on a GZG body - I'll bet that hasn't been done many times before! Jed

Actually the Ral Wolfs (?) are in a ballistic helmet and would not be easily converted to as a vac suited figure ( I looked at my figures). I tried to look them up in my copy of space marines but the rules have been misplaced (missing presumed lost in one of my moves over the years perhaps). Actually I am wondering what is your problem? Get any figure in a vac suit and use green stuff or any other modeling putty to extend the helmet. Guess you could say all those bipeds look alike in a vac suit.

stan johansen miniatures makes some true 25mm scale "dog soldiers" for the OOP SPACE MARINE rules (FGU, not GW!) called RAU-WOOFs. i remember that the doggies have full combat gear, body armor, with open faced but visored helmets. poses are for rifleman, SAW gunner, PML gunner and loader, officer, and maybe a com-tech. the toys go back to about 1980, so they are pre-GW HUGE, and have what was considered nice detailing for way back then. johansen also makes space going kangaroos, bears, flightless birds, crabs, and some humans, too. do not have the url but a search of the www will bring up his home page.
