Mangalores from The Fifth Element

Another 3D printed race of aliens.

The Mangalores appeared in the 1997 film 'The Fifth Element'. They are defined as a scattered warrior race that are considered savage brutes by other races.

Mangalores tend to hire themselves out as mercenaries, having earned a reputation as soldiers-for-hire that are willing (or simply stupid enough) to accept exceptionally dangerous missions.

As a means of infiltration, Mangalores have a unique ability to shapeshift their bodies.

In the film, they are depicted wearing beige coloured clothing with not a lot of variation in the colour.

I initially tried a beige approach to their look and to be honest found them very boring to look at. Therefore I applied various washes to give them a bit more variation and look like a group of mercenaries.

In the film, the Mangalores are hired by Zorg (played by Gary Oldman). Zorg is the head of a major corporation, and the inventor of various weapons and devices who is secretly working for Mr. Shadow, unaware of its real nature, and he is willing to use any means to reach his goals.

Scale wise, they fit the 'not' Korben Dallas and Leeloo from Heresy Miniatures.
