The Valkyries of Earth Force March Forth From Rebel Minis
February 20, 2013 by dracs
Rebel Minis have released a new set of warrior women from the far future; the Earth Force Valkyries!
These sculpts are good, even if the one on the far left is looking a bit knock kneed and would certainly provide you with some good alternatives for Sister of Battle or even Infinity. The general style of their armour and decoration means they could fit in well with forces like the Sisters or possibly the Knights of PanOceana.
It is particularly nice to see women wearing armour which could actually protect them. You could easily imagine their male compatriots wearing something similar to battle.
What uses can you think of for Rebel's Valkyrie minis?
werent these models done originally by micropanzer? pretty sure ive seen em somewhere before
I’m also convinced I’ve seen these before in a larger scale.
Possibly alongside a walker with a crow/raven-like head.
Right you are, they are Micropanzer models, the walker I’m thinking of is the Battle Raven. Unsure why I thought they were larger before, maybe they just look tall.
Correct, Micropanzer had arranged to sell his “28”mm range a few months ago, I guess we now know who the buyer is.
They look unique for sci – fi ladies.
Models look ok, but I think a bit sharper detail on the weapons and a better paint job and these could look really nice. As it is, its a bit hard to tell without shading and highlights. White armour can be difficult to pull off if it ain’t done 100%. This armour looks a little patchy to me i’m afraid.
forgot to add: another colour could really make the armour plates really stand out and show their concave or convexed shape.
More dangly curtains between the legs to get tangled up in. Still don’t get the whole crotch drape thing.
Are they 15/20mm ? They look good for that sort of scale.
rebel minis website says they are 32mm to the eye if that helps.
They are about that big.
Thanks 70%
I actually quite like (except for the drapes) having a closer look I can see they do look more like 32mm. and the more I look the more I like
no worries dude
Thanks guys!
