Psychos!

Hello and Welcome Back!

Get ready for some crazy screaming, its psycho time! 

"Kill! Kill! KILL!! Ha HAA HAAA!!"

Here we have some psycho bandits the next episode of my 5 Parsecs campaign. Anyone familiar with the Borderlands Computer games, will know all about the Psychos.

 

"No One Kills my buddy but me!!"

 

The Psychos. These loons form the rank and file of the various Psycho Bandit gangs. 

"I wonder if I plant you into the ground, if you'll grow taller!"

 

The Psycho Badass. A huge brute who acts as the leader for psycho warbands.

 

"BOOM TIME!!"

 

A suicide psycho. These guys rush up holding a primed grenade blowing themselves up with it.

Captain Loops and the crew of the Problem Child are in for a surprise in their next mission. There are plenty more where these figures came from and offers me some scope for conversions. The figures are from the Borderlands boardgame which has quite a lot of figures and offers a good bang for your buck if you can find one a set cheaply.  I found mine on Amazon, I think the seller got bored of it laying on the shelf. The movie flopping probably didn’t help. The figures scale up okay with 28mm heroic or 32mm. 

Although I am using these figures for my Wild Galaxy games, they will be useful as Post Apocalyptic raiders. 

Thanks for looking and stay safe out there. 

The Lone Scavenger

Hello and Welcome Back, 

A lone scavenger protects his camp.

I painted this figure towards the end of past year, but it has taken me this long to complete the base. This figure is a metal Stargrave Scavenger. This figure was a delight to paint. 

Thanks for looking and take care out there.

Scabies Crew.

Hello and Welcome back to my bit of internet land. 

Captain Scabies lead her people from an oldworld Military Bunker. The bunker's aging systems had begun to fail, forcing them above ground. Upon emerging into the highly contaminated eastern wastelands, the survivors trecked for many days towards the radio signals from Last City. The chance to join the last remnant of civilisation was a stong incentive. During the journey the toxins and mutated creatures of the wastelands picked off the squad members one by one. 

Scabies Crew

By the time they reached Last City only 10 of the squad remained. By this time four of the team sported heavy mutations from exposure to the many mutagenic toxins still present on Mattblackgod’s world. Although Last City is largely mutant friendly, Mattius Black decided that this crew was too horrific to remain in the city. So he posted the Scabies crew to camp Skull at the edge of the ruins of Toxicity, five days march eastwards.

Captain Scabies

The crew's numbers slowly dwindled defending camp Skull from all the monstrosities that live in the highly contaminated ruins of Toxicity. Deciding that they weren't getting what they needed from Last City, upon a relief crew arriving at Camp Skull, Scabies lead her crew to the Weird place some 5 days march south. They now run a salvager camp in the weird place.

Squad sniper and medic

Mattius Black has ignored the desertion as there is some good salvage coming from the weird place. It is also a bonus that heavily mutated crew are even further away from the city. 

The heavily mutated squad members.

Mutant Doggy Doo, who was once human but upon fighting a rad Wolf, fell into a toxins pool in the wastelands clutching the beast. Some how the mutagens in the pool bonded some radwolf dna to the Trooper. He became a twisted pseudo man Wolf. The crew couldn't abandon thier freind and Doggy Doo's sensitive nose has proven useful in keeping the squad safe.

Scabies Crew are resin figures from is the Weird war Desparate Trench Crew by Ramshackle Games. 

Thank you for looking, 

Take care out there.

Hobby Progress, February 2025

 Hello and Welcome back, 

Time for my monthly hobby Progress report for February. Again spare time has been short and my hobby mojo has been a bit hit and miss this month. As well as the usual drains on my time and "help" from my feline supervisors, I have been furiously getting my motorbike ready for its MOT next month and the arrival of biking weather.

I managed to finish the bases on the figures left over from last year. Hopefully I will get a chance to run the next episode of my 5 Parsecs campaign as they were painted for that. 

In addtion I have also painted Ramshackle games Werid War desperate trench crew. With a bit of luck, I will have some Blog posts written for all these figures soon. 

In addition I have a bunch of old Eldar figures on the paint table which will become GELF pirates for my Wild Galaxy setting. There has been some work converting dwarf figures to make a gang for the Big Red Mining company for the Skirm game. 

Terrain wise, I finished painting a pair of TT combat mdf Power Generators. 

The only figure purchased this month was a lone metal 40k RT era guardsman. The ones that had the separate plastic arms. As he has no arms, I am thinking of adding some Stargrave parts.

The order from Ramshackle hasn't arrived yet. But then given the avalanche of work Curtis got last month, I am not expecting them any time soon as he clears the backlog. 

Figures finished* = 7 *Figures that needed bases finishing from 2024

Figures painted = 6

Figures reworked = 0

Terrain finished = 2

Terrain reworked = 0

Vehicles finished = 0

Vehicles reworked = 0

Figures bought = 1

Terrain bought = 0

Vehicles bought = 0

That's all for now, and expect some Blog posts in the next few days. 

Thanks for reading and take care out there.
