Maddans World Independent Mining Crew

 Hello and Welcome Back,

Time for a visit to Maddans world in my Wild Galaxy setting (world background fluff to follow).

Maddans Independent Mininig was set up by a gang of miners from across human space who arrived at Maddans world hoping to make it rich before the world was claimed.

MIM is lead by Big Albert (the bald bearded guy in the centre) a miner from the Brittannia systems.

The gang. The Miners are armed with old autoguns and whatever protection they have managed to cobble together.

These figures are a limited run of the RT666 set of Space Pirates by Mark Elster, which I picked up from Facebook. I liked them as they have a old 40K Rogue Trader charm to them. I chose a yellow theme to tie them together and fitting for a mining crew.

This crew got a 40K Ridgerunner as a convoy guide (Maddans world is largely desert and convoys get regularly attacked by Bandits, offworld raiders or the local wildlife). I got this model as a birthday gift from my wife (I told you she was a keeper!). It assembled easily which feels unusual for recent GW 40K kits and I think it is a kit that could be a good donor for conversions.

I sprayed it yellow with Army Painter rattle cans. The stripe and striped top hatch was done with masking tape and sponging (taking a little inspiration from the Mad Max Pursuit cars). Lots of weathering was added using grey and brown paints stippled around the edges of the vehicle.

Thank you for looking, take care out there. 

Some more overgrown ruins.

 Hello and Welcome Back, 

It's been a few weeks since my last post, life has been busy and hobby blogging had taken a back seat as a result. 

For a while I have been slowly reworking my old ruins collection to make them look older and overgrown. 

Years ago I made a terrain set of crumbling ruins on CD bases so that a table of ancient post apocalyptic ruins that could be put out in different configurations. This ruin is a part of that set. 

This ruin got a few extra details, a white dry brush, some dark washes and lots of plant life. Oh and a random skull.

Also years ago I built this ruined house. This is the third rework it has had during its lifetime. The second one featured adding a door frame from a toy dolls house, interior details and rubble. 

Now it has had extra dark brown washes, a white dry brush, green washes and then lots of plant life added. Oh and some happy little rats. 

Thanks for looking, take care out there!
