Post subject:  The Warrior Queen and her Commandos

Moving along with my sci fi verse, the main Kingdom is the Kingdom of Avalon and it's political adversary is the Kingdom of Elysia. I've shown some of the Avalonian royalty before, and few other characters from each side, but here is the ruler of the Elysium, known simply as the Warrior Queen:

Dressed for one of her rare appearances at court, with her champion (and consort) the Warlord Vance Waysider, X:

The Royal Commandos:

I ended up with a few Resolute Scarletts, and wanted to find a way to keep the basic design but make them look like a uniform from my sci-fi verse. Hopefully they aren't too "Scarletty". I enjoyed piecing together the commandos.

Both are Star Wars heads. The bald chick I didn't really paint here head - other than some mild flesh tones to blend with the neck. She's the Captain of the Royal Commandos, I'm thinking something like Captain Valencia. The uninitiated are always surprised to learn it is a woman, and then are disquieted by her alien appearance. The other is a laser trooper of sorts - despite the sci-fi nature of the verse, lasers are very rare. I wanted it to look like kind of a big deal to have to operate one, hence the charring on her cape, and what I hope looks like rust from something like maybe a cooling system on the charge pack.

Those resolute Scarlett bodies work very well for a sci-fi uniform. I got one in a trade lot awhile back and thought it would fit well into my 'Verse. Nice custom weapons as well!

So cool... I want to come over and play.
Great use of the Padme head.
What are the helmets made from?

The helmets are minimally modded helmets from the recent SW Zam Wesell figure. Some great fodder on that one if you find her anywhere.

Great work, and nice job keeping the flow among all of them - the single awesome highlight for me is you putting that helix blade on that long barreled gun!

very cool -

thanks JM. For that rifle/blade combo, I also have a second of each, so if in a dio I want to show the blade in her hand or in a sheath, I can do that too. I like the idea of her swinging that rifle around almost like a polearm though, when it comes to close combat.

I like those guards a lot. The weapons and gear are top notch. Good coloring for everything. They are tied to the queen without actually copying her look too closely.

Thanks guys. I forgot to mention, the queen's head is a Juno Eclipse head with X-23 hair.

Thanks. Yeah, I figured that even though she's the Warrior Queen and sees her share of combat, her elite guards are still going to be out getting their hands dirty a lot more than her. I tried to get the uniforms to reflect that.
