COLLECTION DIARY: AUGUST 2021

I started featuring DUNE in my Collection Diaries this June. This goes hand and hand with my DUNE Summer Storm project. I have been building up all of my DUNE Factions for the last year and now I am all about making this project rock. I am going to post the collection in alphabetical order. Thus June featured the honorable HOUSE ATREIDES and the enigmatic BENE GESSERIT. I combined these factions because of their direct connections with each other. July featured the glorious and terrible HOUSE CORRINO! 

 

🤗 Now it's time for the mighty FREMEN and the diabolical HOUSE HARKONNEN! ☯

I am including this Sardaukar collection because these are the troopers that I will most often attach to the Harkonnen. The Fremen have several bits from PuppetsWar too: shown in last month's diary.

DUNE Boss out!

BOSS SHOP: DUNE - HOUSE CORRINO - SARDAUKAR TERROR TROOPS

 

This week I got everything together to (finally) build my beloved TERROR TROOPERS!

I used Artur's cool picture of his greatcoat troopers to make a mockup for what my Terror Troops will look like. It was a lot of fun painting this while listening to cool DUNE music!

My SUPPER BADASS Black-boys are on the way...

VERY Happy Imperial TERROR TROOPERS Boss out!

BOSS SHOP: DUNE - HOUSE CORRINO - SARDAUKAR & "THE TERROR TROOPS"

The Imperial Sardaukar Terror Troops are some of the coolest and most deadly fighters in all of the DUNE universe. When I started this project I took the path of building a version of them that are true to the book version. For me these are Imperial Sardaukar. I love these badasses of course... however I still wanted the classic versions of these warriors. I wanted the big green face mask and the black suites and coats.

A year ago I could not find models that I wanted to use for my beloved TERROR TROOP version of the Sardaukar.🖤 That changed this week when good ole PUPPETSWAR announced their new set of glorious badass Sentinel headsets! 🤗 SOooo now I can use the wonderful armored trenchcoated troopers that I have loved since I first discovered PuppetsWar... with these NEW super-sexy-sentinel heads! 

VERY Happy Imperial TERROR TROOPERS Boss out!
