It has been a few months since our last visit to the OTC branches of the Space Dwarf galaxy. Today we take a quick look at a series of 5 Space Dwarf Infantry Troopers produced by Velard Miniatures in Moscow, Russia, primping coyly behind the blast walls. Since I can't find Velard on the internet, I am guessing that these fellows are out of production now. I got them in 2007 or so, 30USD including postage.
Here is our first trooper. As we can see, the Velards feature the pads-and-pouches design common to the crappy armor of the science-fiction infantry trooper. The more realistic body proportions of these miniatures are made more interesting by the honking huge gun.
Trooper 1 from behind, no surprises here.
Trooper 2, scutting across the battlefield, weighted down by his BAG.
From the rear, he is equipped just about the same as the first trooper.
When was the last time you saw a Dwarf run? Weird, isn't it?
Now we'll see who keeps the Golden Snitch!
Shooty Trooper, gun now more plausibly sized.
Shooty from the back.
After 4 smooth, mannequin-like troopers, we get this Sergeant. He looks like he's been sculpted from an Ork's description of a Dwarf. He also came with a tiny grenade that fit into his tiny left hand, but I can't find it.
His right arm is a separate bit.
There you go. Some nice but bland clone-trooper infantry led by the creature from the back of the boiler room.
