Here come the Guardians

Welcome back Wanderer, typical isn’t it? No decent blog posts for a while and then loads arrive at once. Just like souped up V8s in the in the post apocalyptic wastelands. 

In this blog post......

Here come the Guardians!

The Guardians came from a military bunker that they weathered the nuclear firestorm in.  Long ago they decided long ago that humanity couldn’t be trusted with technology especially advanced weapons. Their aim is to collect high tech weaponry and equipment with the intention of keeping them from irresponsible hands. Although everyone else see them as hoarders who are grabbing all the good stuff for themselves. 

With their power armour and superior weapons they often bully wastelanders into giving up their weapons and kit. This makes them very unpopular. The Guardians are always questing for lost bunkers and military facilities to search for equipment.

There is several classes of Guardian. Patrols are often of mixed classes of Guardian. Guardians of each class need to be able to identify items of interest and operate the more common technologies of the ancients. 

Gamma class Guardians make up the majority of Guardians (red helmet stripes and shoulder pad), equipped with salvaged combat armour and a variety of weapons. The most powerful is the whirlwind harness. Equipped with a gauss machine gun, cutting claw and two batteries of rockets gives an edge over most wasteland opponents. The Gamma class Guardians are Epirians from Maelstroms Edge.

Epsilon class Guardians are often equipped with Void class power armour (although other varieties of power armour is used) and usually some form of heavy SMG. They are the veterans of the Clan. Orange shoulder flashes and helmet strips denote this class of Guardian with leaders wearing blue shoulder flashes. These are old plastic void viridians I have had for a while. In a previous life they where Red Lance troops. 

They are pictured here (above) with an old Battle Droid which can give heavy support although assets such as these are usually reserved for protecting bases.

The Guardians main bunker is in a secret location and it deploys semi independent Chapters across the wastelands as they see the need. There is currently two deployed chapters. One is in the ruins of Matt Black City trying to discover the secrets of the Trogs and the other deployed in the Brittianna wastelands keeping an eye on the city’s technological development and growth. 

The Guardians are inspired by Fallout’s Brotherhood of Steel. They are quite a force now and I can see them growing as I add other ranks and classes. Gamma class may see other types of combat armoured figures added to mix up the look of the force. It is possible some 4TK power armour suits and heavy power armour suits may be added in future.

Thanks for looking and avoid the dudes in power armour!
