Cyber Soldier Posted December 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 I'll gove you my badge and you can mould badges from that but for armour and weapons I suggest you use these. Link to post Share on other sites
Treadhead Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 nope, the etch is far too flimsy to recast... you can always stick etched bits to stuff... I've got one of those badges too so moulding it isn't a problem! Link to post Share on other sites
Jagdraben Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 Vostroyans would be cool. I think the amount of embroidery on the uniforms and engraving on the Lasrifles might be cost prohibitive though. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Beggars can't be choosers. Besides, we could always do a Vostoyan-type regiment. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Emphasis added. Link to post Share on other sites
CobaltSky Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 I'm going to get some eagles CNCed in white vinyl. I just need to get the vinyl and I'll get them cut out at college. I can probably find some blue or red to do prototypes first. I need to know how big they should be though. Link to post Share on other sites
Cyber Soldier Posted December 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 That was my idea. An Imperial Aquila stuck to the furnature of a weapon would add the finishsing touch to distinguish from IG and "just another future soldier loadout." For the white vinyl eagles I'd say make them about 3.5 inches from wing-tip to wing-tip. Link to post Share on other sites
fvzz2 Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 i don't know if this has been sugested but why not do a light infanery role unit from the IG some thing like what the tanith are described as in the gaunt's ghosts book's? , they don't use carapace armor but use a softer verson some thing you could use real world armor/plate carrier covers to simulate Link to post Share on other sites
CobaltSky Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 I've done 5mins in my CAD program to get the basic eagle and now I'm gong to sleep. Here is a pic of what I've done so far, measurements are in mm. EDIT: size isn't important on this as I can scale it to what ever we want when I output it, but I figured I'd put the scale in anyway.

Cyber Soldier Posted December 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 Someone change the record, this one seems to be scratched Seriously though We've mentioned having light troops. I think it would be a good way to build up as you progress through the team. New members are Light Infantry (Tanith) need a beret with cap badge, uniform and webbing. Middle members are Heavy Infantry (Cadians) need body armour, a helmet and some form of backpack as well as the above. Senior members are Grenadiers (Stormtroopers) need arm, leg and face protection; and maybe a box-mag for their guns as well as the above. We'll of course need a smattering of Officers, Sergeants and maybe a Commissar or two for good measure. CobaltSky: That eagle looks fine except for the eye it needs to be on the left hand head. Right so everyone who is serious about this PM me and we'll get it organised. I too am off to bed but look forward to seeing Imperial Glory furthered tomorrow Link to post Share on other sites
CobaltSky Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 I can't cut holes in details that fine. It screws up the surrounding area. On bigger decals it will be possible but on the weapon/helmet size ones it wouldn't work. I'll do a much more detailed one for the armour. Link to post Share on other sites

Kyrian_Zenda Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 PM sent, Cyber. Oh, by the way, I live in South London, so I can probably join in with this no real problem. Link to post Share on other sites
Kyrian_Zenda Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 Wouldn't let me edit... Found a few pictures that may be of help to us here. These two are from a mod I found somewhere: And this is from a miniature site i found: Link to post Share on other sites
CobaltSky Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 OK. I've costed up the stickers and it comes to £6 per 25 sets: a set includes 2x weapon/helmet size and 1x armour size. So 25p per person not including postage costs to you. Postage would be 32p plus envelope and a piece of stiff card to keep it flat during transit. Probably £1 per person altogether. Its cheaper per person if I buy 5m rolls of vinyl but we wouldn't need that many just yet. I realise it isn't much but I'm not a charity and I'm still doing this at cost. I can do a max of A3 size at a time so if we make a banner then the biggest components must fit within that. Link to post Share on other sites
Kyrian_Zenda Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 I'll be up for some of those, Cobalt. How do you want payment? And can you send multiple sets? Link to post Share on other sites
CobaltSky Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 I'll have to wait until I get confirmation for most of the sheet first. I'm not too keen on using paypal for these small amounts but a cheque would be fine. How many do you want is the question, as I have to know before I buy the sheet. Link to post Share on other sites
Kyrian_Zenda Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 Well, knowing me, I'll screw things up somewhere along the way, so put me down for...four? Four should do it. Link to post Share on other sites
Cyber Soldier Posted December 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 I think the team should be Cadian styled but not actually Cadians. We'll work out a name once we're more organised. Those Eagles look like they'll be spot on Cobalt, nice work I'm planing on making purchases of things like uniforms, badges and patches in bulk once we have at least one complete squad.

DarkMM Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 A little late to answer on this, but I still have a Steel Legion and Cadian army [at my age ] Just a conple of changes I'd suggest on kit Cadians -Black, British army boots -Tan BDU style shirt and trousers (these are nearly exactly as shown on the models) -Black webbing belts to hold mags. Full webbing is optional as it doesn't appear on many of the models -Body armour painted OD with Imperial Eagle in white -Beret with eagle pin or protec sprayed OD with eagle in white Perhaps a Protec watersports helmet ? the one that coves the ears Steel Legion -Grey BDUs -Tan 3/4 length trench coat -Black assault vest or web gear -Gas mas with tube to backpack -Gauntlet type gloves -Knee length leather boots -Black PASGT Not the Pasgt!!!!! OD german fagues, Kakhi M65 jacket, US M1 Steel p#ss pot helm, russian/soviet tube gas mask and M14EBR:) Link to post Share on other sites

OD german fagues, Kakhi M65 jacket, US M1 Steel p#ss pot helm, russian/soviet tube gas mask and M14EBR:) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I just went by what I saw on the official models. I couldn't find anything that looked closer than the PASGT and they were readily available. Didn't think of the steel pot. And I was thinking more along the lines of the classic fullcut protec as I think they have a matte finish. Link to post Share on other sites
Treadhead Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 aye, that protec would be the business with a few modifications... I'd be up for a sheet or two of those stickers... also, I should be able to make small ones with wee details on the laser cutter at work, it's just a matter of haveing the material to cut...
