Title: Rimlickers! - Now with baddies!
Post by: JollyBob on April 15, 2018, 08:53:44 PM: Rimlicker - noun (derogatory)
A spacer who plies his trade on the fringes of known space, not always strictly legally, and usually piloting an elderly and unreliable light freighter.

Rogues and ne'er do wells, basically. Some, like Solo or Reynolds, have become bywords for maverick charm and their rustbucket ships are almost as famous as they are.
Some, like this band, will never amount to anything more than being the butt of a bad joke...

The crew of the Harlem class planet-hopper Yo Mamma, a group of ex military types who decided to head out on their own after being on the losing side of one war too many.

From left to right:
"Tiny" Huang, ships enforcer
Captain Harry Balzac and his null-cat, Taint
Ships engineer Kremlyn
Charlton Manspread, ex-sniper, still holding onto his prized KenTech-E rifle.

Some more to come when finished...

Post by: JollyBob on April 16, 2018, 08:58:03 AM: Thanks for the comments chaps, glad to see I am not the only one with a childish sense of humour!

To answer some questions, yes, I think Crichton counts as a rimlicker, and never mind a ruleset, it needs a theme tune! lol

A few more since the varnish dried properly...

Occasional crew members: trader and diplomat Lady Gaaten and medic/science officer Dr Boompengrindt.
Ships servo minibots: FR4NK1E and GRU-tek 808 series minionbot, "Bob".

Post by: axiom on April 16, 2018, 04:42:01 PM: These are an excellent crew, although I suspect they may be guilty of nefarious activities and frequenting back-street liquor dens.

Do you plan to make the Yo Mamma?

Post by: Bullshott on April 16, 2018, 08:28:35 PM: Keep up the good work. I'm looking forward to seeing more of these :)

I doubt it, I think I would have trouble storing something as fat as Yo Mamma.

I'm so sorry, I couldn't let that one go... lol

But no, I'm struggling for storage space so a whole ship is probably beyond me. Although I do have the lovely Daemonscape resin dropship that might make a nice fast smuggler.

Thanks again for the positive comments, I may have another addition tomorrow. :)

Post by: hubbabubba on April 17, 2018, 06:47:29 AM: Very good, especially like the minionbot.

I can see them getting involved in adventures on the rim, skirting around the odd black hole I dare say. Ahem.

I'll be leaving then.

Post by: JollyBob on April 20, 2018, 08:25:51 PM: And due to my shitty broadband, here we are back a few days later than planned. ::)

Anyway, thanks once again for the comments, and I hope you will enjoy the latest additions to the Rimlickers! universe - Bad Guys!

I don't know what the Yo Mamma's crew did to upset these guys, but the Cobramen of Chode are proving to be an implacable foe, being determined trackers and slippery gits.

In order:

Commander Fawsken
Some expendable cobroid grunts
A large Chodian hunting beast. When relaxed, they are the size of a large dog, but once the blood starts pumping and they can smell their quarry they become engorged to quite a gigantic size. Aside from fangs and claws, they can also immobilise their prey by spitting a viscous, white fluid onto them...
Looks like Balzac is going to get sticky!

Post by: hubbabubba on April 20, 2018, 09:04:53 PM: To thwart commander Fawskin, you should now be painting up an inquisitor of the holy Circumsision. =c=
Nice painting pervert lol
Title: Re: Rimlickers! - Now with baddies!
Post by: beefcake on April 20, 2018, 09:21:11 PM: Large chodian. I thought there was no such thing.
Great laugh there. Nice painting too.

Thanks for the comments, I'm now considering an intergalactic super villain called Circumscissor.
