Starport Scum #10 Ladies Night

Hello and Welcome back,

Time for another installment of Starport Scum. I can't believe we have had 10 of these! In this episode, it's all about the ladies. Hence the tag line - Ladies Night. Cue music!

Finished dancing? If that's what it was? On with the show. 

Bounty Hunter's are a common sight around the frontier Spaceports, on the trail of fugitives or other targets. Bounty Hunters use code names rather than their real names to protect themselves from future repercussions. This figure is a limited run bounty hunter by BMT3D and is inspired by some of the art work in the orginal 40K RT art work. 

The Moggi Sisters are "splicers", using Human Gene Manipulation (HGM).They have some feline like features. They thought it would make them more attractive. Still the improved hearing and retractable claws prove useful in their role as bodyguards to wealthy Patrons touring Frontier Space. These figures are limited run figures by BMT3D.

Orbital Starports often see crew wandering about in space suits. Sometimes the crew or station personnel have to go out to effect repairs on their ships or station. Or occasionally as a punishment, sent to give the outside a fresh coat of paint. The figure is Alice the Astronaut by Bad Squiddo miniatures.

Thanks for reading and stay safe out there.

Wasteland bounty hunters

Hello and welcome back. It’s been a while. I have been struggling to get time to get hobby stuff finished of late and to get blog posts written. 

Mungo and Jerri drift from township to township across the wastelands looking for bounties. In a world short on law and order bounties seems to be a good way to protect your township. For people who struggle to survive day to day, bounty hunting is a good way to make a living. Of course the bounties may not always be just, worth doing or sometimes the hiring party tries to not to pay up. But then that is often the risk of dealing with “civilisation”. 

Bounty hunters often keep themselves busy by acting as muscle for merchants or exploration/salvage parties. 

Mungo (on the left) is a old grenadier future wars figure I got from EM4. Jerri (on the right) is by Ramshackle games. 

There is more hobby stuff to put up on this blog, which I hope to get posted. 

Thanks for reading and stay safe out there.

The Styx Brothers

Hello and welcome back. 

Look out lads, the Styx Brothers are in town!  

The Styx Brothers are Strontium Dogs bounty hunters who seem to excel at the job. They have fallen foul of fellow Strontium Dog Johnny Alpha as they play dirty and steal bounties usually after the hard work has been done. They don’t think twice about shooting another Strontie in the back to steal a bounty. This has lead to a feud between the bounty hunters. 

The Styx Brothers have a unusual mutation in that they all look and sound identical. So pinning down a wrong doing by them is near impossible. There also seems to be an inexhaustible supply of Styx Brothers. The Styx Brothers come from the township of Styx which lies about a days march North of the Iron Tower Ruins. Few people have visited the remote township but those who have report that everyone there looks identical. No women have been seen there leading to speculation that the town houses a ancient cloning device. 

The Styx Brothers are from Foundry 2000AD line (the dynamically posed one who is slightly bulkier) and Strontium Dog: The Stix Brothers by Warlord Games. 

The figures painted up quickly and would have a variety of wasteland uses as bounty hunters, law men or some warlord’s henchmen. 

Thanks for looking and stay safe out there. 

More Stronties for the wastelands.

Hello and welcome back from your wasteland wandering. 

Today we have three more bounty hunter “Strontium Dogs” and friends of Johnny Alpha for your entertainment. These guys provide backup for Johnny when Brittianna City slaps a big bounty on an entire settlement or gang. 

I am using these figures in my own setting on matt black god’s world and they have their back stories tweaked to fit (just like every other figure on this blog)

Middenface McNulty:

Often drunk and great in close combat is Middenface McNulty. The Pictish mutant bounty hunter is a loyal friend of Johnny Alpha but can be bad tempered and hot headed.

Durham Red:

This dangerous mutant looks pretty normal at first glance but closer inspection shows sharp fangs. Durham Red has a unusual Vampirism mutation. Her mutation allows Red to be stronger and faster than normal humans with the draw back that she needs to drink blood to survive. Preferably human. In combat the smell of blood can cause her to lose control and start drinking the blood of her enemies or enter a blood rage. Needless to say Red’s needs cause her to be driven out of many settlements but if she can stay focused she is a formidable foe.

Maeve the Many-Armed:

Hailing from a land across the sea west of Rubbleborg, Maeve landed one dark and stormy night. Her multiple arms proved useful in combat and she drifted inland in search of the Mutant Temple lost in the Blasted Ruins. Here she heard of the Strontium Dogs bounty hunters and signed up. 

When questioned about her homeland across the sea Maeve evades and changes the subject. 

These figures are all from the Strontium Dog: SD Agents by Warlord Games.

Thanks for looking and stay safe out there.

Matt Black Data #5 The bounty hunter.

Meanwhile a mutie bounty hunter walks into Wastetopia town looking for work. 

I wonder if he will find work?

The figure is a rebased Clix Johnny Alpha (2000AD Strontium Dogs). As usual with clix figures a wash and some touching up was needed.
