Mutants

 Hello and Welcome Back, 

A new pair of mutants to harrass the wastelands. 

Curtis over at Ramshackle Games is a good egg and always throws in an extra couple of figures (thank you Curtis). I always find them useful for conversions or trying out new or different paint styles.

Both figures were undercoated with white primer. The left figure was washed with my brown wash that I use for terrain (Brown acrylic paint, sepia ink, water and a couple of drops of washing up liquid). The models were painted with speed paints. 

I think the left hand brown washed figure has a warmer feel than the right hand figure. 

Thanks for reading, stay safe out there.

Thorgrim's Crew

Hello and welcome back,

This crew of Dvarg are one of the many groups of refugees and survivors from the ORCS attack on their homeworld of Luxz VII. 

Luxz VII was located on the borders of GELF and Dvarg space. The hordes of ORCS invading, lead to the Dvarg King to order all his people to flee the world. Rather than lose the world to the hated ORCS, the King remained alone, deep beneath the surface of the planet. He activated a device that blew Luxz VII into little rocks destroying the ORCS hordes and the homeworld. It cemented his name in Dvarg legend and there is little doubt that the destruction of Luxz VII stopped a major ORCS incursion into Dvarg space.

The surviving Luxz VII Dvargs were spread across Dvarg space, the other worlds welcoming them with open arms. Some Luxz VII Dvargs scattered across Human Frontier space looking for work and oppotunites. 

Thorgrim's crew operate as a pirate raider prowling GELF space looking for ORCS or GROTS ships or settlements to raid. Revenge for the l9ss of their world is a high priorty for them. 

Bladun, Thorgrim, G4DLF (space werdio who gets everone into trouble) and Philly

Brawlyn, Gnori, Bommyr and Oywn.

Gloink, Bovver, Doric, Beefer, Kily and Oryn. 

Bill & Bilijo. Bill is a maintence and general maintenance robot the crew use for accessing derilict hulls. 

Many Dvarg worlds have small colonies of Halfer GELF's (Genetically Engineered Lifeforms) and Luxz VII was no exception. Bilijo jumped aboard Thorgrim's ship and is now hired as a cook and thief. Bilijo is successful as a thief as on the first wreck the crew cut into, he found a strange tech device on body. The device cloaks him from sight making him invisible to everything including electronic sensors. Bilijo has a clear resin version for the tabletop, but that has gone missing. *glares at the cats*

Thorgrim's crew are metal figures by Skull n Crown miniatures, Space Scrappers line.

Starport Scum #13

Hello and welcome back.

It's time for another installment of Star Port Scum. I can't believe we are up to the 13th episode. 

Dallas Shrimpton, the bounty hunter, comes from the frontier world of Wolfden. He hunts down people or GELFs for the right fee and really likes the "dead" part of 'Dead or Alive' bounty.

Fay Jaegir is an ex-military bounty hunter working wherever the contracts take her. Her military background has given her discipline and training, which helps her hunt down bounties.

Sly is a typical example of star port scum, born and raised in a space station, joined a lower decks gang and eventually skipped out as a stowaway. He now seeks employment as crew muscle. A little part of him fancies joining a pirate crew.

Sparkz is an augmented Cyborg. No one knows where he is from or how he became augmented. Like many 'borgs, once he had one augmentation, he needed more. Sparkz looks for work as a ship's technical officer; his augmentations give him an edge when dealing with technology and computers. 

Ted Cryptkey used to be a security crewman on an Outrim Confederacy warship. As one of the few to see the galaxy beyond the Outrim systems, he found himself (like other Spacers) treated with suspicion by those he left to defend. Cryptkey was unhappy stuck on the backward-looking planets, being treated with suspicion, and wanted to see more of the galaxy. He left on the first ship that visited (it was a bit of a wait) and now hangs around space ports looking to sign on to a crew. He doesn't care where he is going as long as it is beyond the Outrim systems.

All figures are metal, from the Pages range by BT3D.

Thanks for looking, take care out there.

Meet the Colonists #3

Hello and welcome back,

This is the first of a batch of posts, catching up on the figures I finished last year. I am a fair bit behind with my blogging.

For now, get comfortable and get ready to meet the next bunch of colonists on the world of Corrosion. 

Mayor Minstum Leuien is a retired senior military officer from Brittannia quadrant. He wears the Mayor's hat of office (because someone robbed the chain and medallion) to show that he is the leader of the colony of Pusterom. Minstrum is armed with a exotic looking las pistol which was looted from the many piles of scrap across the world of Corrosion.

The figure is a Northstar Steampunk figure. The hat started life as a spare scrap of green stuff putty which I fashioned into a wizard's hat. It was just laying about and it seemed a good item to fit to Minstum. The shoulder eppulets are resin bits from Anvil Industries. I replaced the minsicule revolver with a dark eldar las pistol dug out of the bits box. He also gained a mantic Forge Father back pack.

Homer Caine is Pusterom's security leader and sherrif. He came to Corrsion after going AWOL from the Liberty Security Forces. His military background got him recruited by Minstrum as the town's securtiy boss and sherrif. The wanna be law man wears a fancy high tech helmet found in the scrap which gives him advantages targetting or locating hidden foes. Caine keeps an eye open for visiting bounty hunters as there is still a bounty on his head from Liberty.

The Homer Caine figure started life as a Northstar Steampunk figure. The eppultes are from Anvil Industries, the helmet is a spare Asterian Marionette Phantom head by Mantic. His weedy revolver was replaced by a plastic Void Viridian auto pistol. A sherriff's badge from Dead Mans Hand set was pinned to his chest. His whole ensable is finished off with a rather fashionable pair of grenades from a 40k Space Marine Scout.

Lenny Magnusson got lucky one day out in the Corrsion wastes, finding a fancy pants energy weapon on a rusting killbot. After dragging it back to Pusterom he spent a good while trying to find a way to use it. The solution was a bot targetting system, a battery and a back pack. Now, when out prospecting in the wastes, Lenny just zapps anything trying to mess with him.

The figure is a old OOP Warmachine mechanic. I added a backpack and scratch built the pack mounted energy weapon from beads, sequins and foam clay power lines.

Postie arrived on Corrsion and found he wasnt much good at salvaging. In the piles of junk he found an ancient postal trolly. To earn an living he started work courioring messages and packages across the town of Pusterom. It was amazing just how many folks didnt want to speak to each other in the town face to face. The Pusterom Postal Service was born. Postie keeps a pair of cats he saved from a crashed ship and they travel with him while he does his rounds. It is rumoured that at least one of the cats is a PSI Grynx cat.

The Postie figure and cart are unconverted resin figures by MEP Miniatures.
