Matt Black Data Report #9 Mr Hanky

Out in the Greasy Poon settlement a mutant has arrived.....

Meet Mr Hanky. A living pile of muck. Rumor has it that it escaped from a outhouse someplace. Don't get too close besides getting muck all over he may be radioactive too. 

Mr Hanky comes from Ramshackle games mutants line.

Gangs of Greasy Poon - Parp & Company.

Welcome back to my blog. I have to apologise as I have been neglecting these pages as real life has been getting in the way.   As usual it has been a roller coaster. Hobby time has also been limited but I have managed to grab a little time here and there. So now it's time for a catch up. Expect a bit of a blog post bombardment over the next day or so. 

First up...let us return to the township of Greasy Poon on the cursed world known as Mattblackgod's world.....

Introducing Parp. 

Parp is a odd character who prefers to live beyond the safety of Greasy Poon's barricades. He lives in a valley not far away and lives on a strict vegetarian diet of food he mostly grows himself. Parp got his name from the unpleasant bodily emissions he tends to emit. This usually leads to everyone standing upwind of him. Parp is last to be picked for stealthy missions as they last thing anyone needs   is a loud trumpet noise as they sneak around a rad ghoul infested metro station. 

Parp has his uses to the folks of Greasy Poon. He is a good medic and can even fix machines. Another reason he is popular is he brews excellent fungus beer. Parp also makes a wicked rad chilli beer. However folks around Greasy Poon know to avoid his Rad Chilli Sauce as it has been known to melt metal and from time to time explode. 

Parp is a Larken Figure from Ramshackle Games' Nuclear Renaissance line. 

Introducing Chow Mien and Kung Po. 

Chow Mein (on the left) came to Greasy Poon from a vault. He claims he has seen much of the wastelands although many suspect that he tells tall stories for a drink. 

Kung Po wanders around unarmed which may lead the fool hardy into thinking that he is a easy target. What they don't know is Kung Po is a unarmed combat expert. He is a walking lethal weapon. Kung Po often mediates and chants mantras which to many sounds like the mumblings of a very angry man. Although the other denizens of Greasy Poon are not sure they do suspect that "kick him in the head" is not a ancient sacred mantra. 

Chow Mein and Kung Po are Matt Hazard and Rage figures from Ramshackle Games' Nuclear Renaissance line. 

Introducing Meatpie Indephat.

Introducing Meatpie Indephat. 

Meatpie can be found in the township of Greasy Poon. He is a somewhat obnoxious and unpleasant character who's pungent aroma ensures that everybody stays up wind of him. Old hazmat suits are often donned by those who have to work with him. Snot and mucus drips from his nose and some times his mouth. Meatpie got his name from his love of the greasy meat pies that are served up in Greasy Poon's eateries.  In addition to this Meatpie has an opinion on everything, usually opposing what everyone else is thinking. He takes great pleasure in voicing is opinion very loudly and starting arguments. 

Meatpie will work and fight well enough when watched over however he tends to slope off for a Nuke Cola (or rad beer), Meat Pie and a handrolled cigarette. 

Its not all bad. Meatpie can be helpful when the mood strikes him. He is good with electrics and old world devices. His skill in repairing these items stops Bangers and Smash from throwing him out into the Wastes. 

Meatpie is a Nuclear Renaissance Filthy Bob figure by Ramshackle Games. 

Mega Rad Bugs!!!

The lands around Greasy Poon are toxic and are the source of many mutants. Mutations occur in most life forms. 

These bugs are a menace to the Mutants of Greasy Poon and to anyone crossing the wastes. There is a plus in that the bugs usually cook up okay. Apparently they (usually) taste like chicken. 

The bugs are from Thunderchild Miniatures and painted up quickly. 

Next up....more gangers of Greasy Poon. That's if I can stay away from the 15mm toys. 

Chips' Gang - Greasy Poon Warriors

Introducing Chips' Gang - Warriors of Greasy Poon. 

Chips is a baddass in Greasy Poon and quickly sided with the Boss - Bangers & Smash. It wasn't long until others seeing the odds stacked against them joined. This offers the township a decent amount of security which in turn attracts those who have less combat ability and aggression. 

Chips doesn't carry a ranged weapon as he prefers close combat. He wears home made armour and uses an reenforced old truck door as a shield. 

Chips is a Stavley resin figure for the Nuclear Renaissance game by Ramshackle Games. The figure comes in three pieces. The body, axe hand and shield. There is also a sculpted integral resin base cast to the figure which saves basing. 

I quite like this figure and I suspect I may order another in the future when I re-enforce King Artie's Scrap Knights. This mini would fit the look of that war band nicely. 

Gravy and Egg like close combat. Gravy got his name from his habit of looting the graves. Egg earned his name from his battle chant "I am gonna split your head like a mute egg!" 

Pie & Cheesy offer some ranged firepower with old assault rifles. Pie gained his name for food stuffs covered in pastry & baked (and some times deep fat fried after that). His love of pies is so deep he has been known to kill for a pie. Other denizens of Greasy Poon are amazed he isn't much larger. He puts it down to his mutie metabolism. Cheesy gained his name from his deep pungent cheese like aroma which keeps many locals upwind of him most of the time. 

The last member of the gang is Sausage. He gained his name from his battle cry "How do like them Sausages!". 

The members of the Chips gang are GW 40K Chaos cultists. They are nice looking figures and I enjoyed painting them. Whilst they are plastic multipart figures they are made in such a way that they can be assembled in one way. This seriously limits the scope that these figures could have. Nice one GW. Another shot in the foot. 

The Chips gang are all named after fast food items that go with Chips (Note they are also known Fries in some parts of the Wastelands). I tried to get the gangers in colours that relate to their names. There will be future additions to this gang - all with names which relate to dishes & food served with chips.  Sadly there will not be a Curry as he is one of Bangers' monkey brothers/henchmonkeys. 

Thanks for looking. 

Greasy Poon.

Look down at the world. The world of the mattblackgod. A world surrounded by mines and weapons platforms. A world that maimed itself and was nuked from orbit to stop its plagues from spreading off world. A world left to die. A world that didn't die completely. Life struggles on even in the harshest conditions. 

Look down at the lights, at the Mega City of Utopia. A city that survived the wars and the nukes with laser weapons and force generators. Here is a shining gem of technology on the world. It is hoped that they can save there dying world. 

Moving towards the sun rise away from Utopia we are crossing hundreds of miles of barren wastelands of Rosstralia. Not much survives here. Then we pass the occasional settlement or mutated critters. In some places wasteland warlords fight over resources. After thousands of miles we eventually reach some low hills. In those hills lies a fairly prosperous settlement called Greasy Poon. 

Looking out to the sun rise lies swamp lands and jungles which are highly toxic. Those lands where at the bottom of the sea and are known as the blight. After thousands of miles of these diseased lands you will reach the Ash Wastes on the Tri Continent. 

Lets return to the township of Greasy Poon. These lands are highly toxic and there are few in these parts who do not have some sort of mutation. Greasy Poon lies in what was some sort of amusement park and is set up in what was the park's food courts which is how it got it's name. The township is ruled over by Bangers and Smash. They work as a unit and are pretty mean. 

Smash is the big guy and Bangers is a the brains of the operation. Bangers got his name from his love of shooting things. Smash likes to smash stuff. They make a pretty effective combat unit. Smash can throw rusting hulks of old cars like they are a bar stool. 

Smash is a mutant from Thunderchild Miniatures and Bangers is a monkey from Ramshackle miniatures. This figure was a mis cast Curtis slipped in. All that was missing was the gun. A GW Space Marine Pistol was grafted on. 

This guy was inspired by a certain pair in a certain Post Apoc movie, I am sure you will know. 

I added a papoose from putty to hold Bangers. Some armour was added to stop the brains of the operation getting popped off. 

A close up of Bangers. 

A size comparison of Smash. This figure is about 60mm tall!

Now no Warlord stays top of the food chain without a couple of sidekicks to keep them informed. Bangers and Smash uses a couple of Bangers' brothers - Curry & Rice. 

Curry & Rice hang around the township picking up information that they think their Brother will need to know. Of course if trouble arrives Curry & Rice have Bangers back. 

These monkeys are from Ramshackle Games.
