I am embarking on a long term sculpting, modelling and gaming project based on a 'frontier' world on the extreme edge of the Sapien Empire, an interstellar collection of all the planets originally colonized by humans originating from Earth in the twenty-fifth century.
This has been inspired by our recent Inquisimunda campaign for which we have been utilising my existing scenery collection where my Old West town of Upsheet Creek and its environs has proven most useful.
( http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=60011.0 ).
Combined with a few figures that I made as alternatives to Ratskin Scouts for our Necromunda games, it seemed a relatively straightforward and natural option to set the I-Munda campaign principally on an OW-themed frontier world in a similar vein to Firefly (a TV series which I didnt take to at all, by the way).
So here is the result.....
This thread will show the progress of this idea, both modelling and gaming wise, although the gaming itself will have to wait a while as we have a few things to do first...
This planet will have several factions populating it.
The first of which will be known as the Outlanders, who are descendants of the original settlers who ventured far from the original designated 'safe' sites to form smaller farming, hunting and trapping communities.
The original figures for this project were the 'alternative-Ratskins' already mentioned.
Although I liked the idea behind Ratskins in Necromunda I was not so keen on the figures.
The idea of a fella wandering in a giant ratskin cloak, complete with head....nah, I just didnt fancy that.
So here are my alternatives to them, which were originally known as the Savage Scouts in this form....
(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a416/blindbeggarminiatures/1076f43a-10c2-4121-8fb7-78ff858e05e1_zps3fnvgvfg.jpg)
These three were painted for me by Bugsda.
There were originally only going to be the three of them but that idea grew into something else (sound familiar?) and now there are quite a few more of them to come.
They are due to go off for casting this week.
Pictures of those later....
-
Another exciting project in teh making Mason!
I really like your alternative scouts, as they are fairly versatile for several systems. The idea of more of them is great - can't wait to see pictures!

Another stellar thread, Paul :D

Pictures are on their way, mate.
I hope that you like them.
:)
First up are the Female Warriors who will accompany the chaps in the warband.....

This seems to me like a nice idea for a miniatures line and for gaming, too. I will keep an eye on this thread.
-
Excellent! :-*
Great to see sensible clothing on the lasses as well.
-
Agree those are nice,and nice to see them covering their assets.

Thanks, gents.
I opted for sensible attire as they will fit much better into my future aesthetic this way.
There are plenty of half-nekkid ladies out there already.
;) :D

Interested to see the others you have in the pipeline.
-
Ah Pablo has finally settled into a new thread to chronicle his sci Fi setting.
Now let's drag that POANG chair a little closer.. grab a coffee..
Ok mate, I'm ready for your updates. :D
Those lasses look cool Paul. 8) 8) your getting good at GS sir.
I'm looking forward to your Adobe tatooine buildings too ;)
Cheers

Comfie now, mate...?
Good.
Thanks for the compliment, sir, but I feel that I shall be disappointing you on the adobe front.
At least for a while, anyway....
:D ;)
Interested to see the others you have in the pipeline.
Others...?
Quite a few of them.
;)
For now, here are some more 'veteran' members of the warband, carrying various prosthetics, scars, injuries and some heavier weaponry....
(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a416/blindbeggarminiatures/0ffc19b2-6159-4198-aada-40720b9e3abf_zpsyxa4pgzn.jpg)
More later....

Nice, they do pack some serious heat with them! :D
-
Comfie now, mate...?
Good.
Yep :D

I thought as much Paul ;)

The heavies would definitely do for skavvie sin 'munda, mate, top effort :)
-
The heavies would definitely do for skavvie sin 'munda, mate, top effort :)
Depending on how you paint them, the whole band could work as Scavvies easily enough, which I fully intend to do with a set myself.
All they now need is a 'shaman'......
;)
-
This project is fantastic!
-
This project is fantastic!
Thank you, sir.
Much appreciated.
:D
The heavies would definitely do for skavvie sin 'munda, mate, top effort :)
The idea is to make them as generic as possible in order to make them usable in as many genres as possible, so, as a gang in Necromunda, utilising either the Scavvy or Ratskin list (even the Delaque would work as they are made for stealth).
T think they would also work pretty well in a post apocalyptic setting too.
I will also be using them as the Outlanders in my own setting as well, of course.
;)
Anyway, back to the figures, here is today's offering:
The Shaman and two more male warriors....
(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a416/blindbeggarminiatures/dcc048d9-72a6-4106-8cd1-75906bb49510_zps4qc3kfow.jpg)
That makes twelve, so far, which is a nice number for a gang or warband for skirmish gaming,
'
-
Mighty fine trio there, the chap on the right looks menacing and if that axe is meant for him, even more so! :o
Good thing that the shaman packs a firearm too, but is it easy to clip off is somebody wants a non firearm user?
Left one is also great, the mohawk is very fitting :)
-
Ah, these three have even more character!
This is getting better and better...
-

That axe is indeed with him, and will slip into his open left hand if desired.
;)

It should be easy enough but I could always make an unarmed shaman type in the future if needs be. In my planned setting a man would always carry a weapon, shaman or not.
:)
Left one is also great, the mohawk is very fitting :)
They all have rather stylised hairdos to mark them as Outlanders, in a similar fashion to the various indigenous populations of the USA.
Ah, these three have even more character!
This is getting better and better...
Thank you, sir.
That is it for the 'Outlander War Party' for now but there are still a few more figures to come in this initial wave.
;)
-
The Marshall and his Hunting Dogs.....
(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a416/blindbeggarminiatures/76097d36-2752-420f-95a7-f44634e0b57c_zpshqq4qslw.jpg)
The Outlanders have their own law which is enforced by the Marshalls, who often use Cyber-hounds to track and apprehend criminals.
-
:o :-*
Those go to my wanted list (the pun intended :D )

I really enjoyed making these three and plan a few more 'animals' in future.
;)

:o :-* wow the marshal and hounds are just awesome.

The cyber hounds are great. Even if the heads remind me of the villains sub out of stingray. ;)
-
OK. You got me. I must have those cyber-hounds!!!!

I thought that the Hounds could prove popular.

Is that revenge for the 'Stormtrooper moustache'?
There is a reason why their masks are like that.
All shall become clear eventually.
;)

Excellent stuff, and not at all the Anime I expected... :o
Doug

Cheers, Doug, although I know nothing about Anime so dont get that one.
??? ???
I am glad that the Marshall and his menagerie seems to have gone down well.
I have a couple of uses for him outside of my own setting as he will be leading the rest of the band in our next round of Necromunda shenanigans (Scavvies or Ratskins, not decided yet...) and I HAVE to paint one up like a pimp as a character for our Inquisimunda campaign.
;)
-
Let's just say aliens with slightly 'furry' tendencies, and bio-ships that were partially inspiration for GZG's Phalon ships.
Anything further would be TOTALLY off-topic.
Doug
-
Had to have a search and that all makes sense now.
My first efforts only seemed to reveal a TV series about a nurse being transported back to the 1700's.... o_o o_o
-
The Marshall and dogs are just brilliant. Totally love them!

I am certainly most happy with them.
Lets hope they cast up ok.....
I have been trying to put the next pack up but photobucket is not co=operating.... >:D
Will try again later.

Seeing the pictures of the 'Scottish one', it looks like 'Highlander for Girls'...
;)

Photobucket is finally behaving so here is the next picture (at last....):
The Alien Merchant and Porters...
(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a416/blindbeggarminiatures/3f481f12-3f77-4079-98c1-7c559c6af5a9_zpsgfhrtd0i.jpg)
Both Porters have the same contraption on their backs which has been left deliberately empty so that their 'loads' can be changed to suit the needs of the owner.
;)
-
I now need to start working on some scenery for the setting, but intend using my Old West scenery, with suitable 'clip-on' additions to sci-fi the place up a bit.
I think that they will work well as the basis for an Outlander settlement or trading centre.
Here are a few pictures of when it was used for one of our recent Inquisimunda games......
(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a416/blindbeggarminiatures/d3cf44f9-3dcf-4245-b298-bb72f447d876_zpshwmfybb0.jpg)

(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a416/blindbeggarminiatures/IMG_0839_zpslm2rhdnb.jpg)
I think it will look good, mixing the retro with the more futuristic and I already have the 'old' stuff so why not use it?
The more rural stuff will work well too.
Now I just need to find time to make some progress with it all....
-
Looks great! And same plan I have with my Tudor buildings,add some street lamps; whole new period...

Cheers, mate.
That is the plan.
I am running out of space to store more scenery so I have to try and make all of my stuff work in as many ways as possible.
It is also a quicker way to get some stuff made as well, which is a bonus.
:D
-
Sometimes repurposing terrain and scenery gives rise to some unexpected opportunities. I'm loving the sci-fi frontier concept. It reminds me of stuff like the original Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek, Battle Beyond the Stars and stuff like that. All good things!

Agreed.
I just need to put some time aside to really build this setting.
Gotta leave the green stuff alone for a while.....
;)
-
Those trader/porters look just the business as aliens Paul. Nice one.
When a rich merchant cannot find a bantha/barge ... the local beggers better look out lol

Of course, originally, the reasons they used the scenery were the same as Mason's. 'Already there, saves money, it's what the carpenters know...'
Does indeed bring back pleasant memories to this old fanboy.

I don't think the porters look local. Trust me, schlepping this stuff around strange forbidding worlds is still better than staying back in the office, where the REAL slave driver holds sway. ;)

So true.
Fortunately my new boss is a lovely bloke and does not slave drive at all.
:D
I got the castings of these back yesterday and managed to start painting a set earlier.
I shall pop a (very) WIP piccie up later.
-
The WIP piccies of the castings....
(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a416/blindbeggarminiatures/IMG_1275_zps2x8ne4va.jpg)
Plenty still to do, but I am going to have another go tomorrow....

wow, you've been productive mate! :o
They look rather good all together like that. 8)

Crickies! No, really, just crickies!

I have finally gotten around to (rather sloppily) slapping some paint on some of the figures, beginning with the Merchant and his Porters...
(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a416/blindbeggarminiatures/18891132-3f04-4f06-b832-e46551f2192e_zpsjgrrvsqz.jpg)
Now I just need to make some 'loads' for them to carry.
Hopefully the next lot, as I want quite a few of them for my games, will look better....
-
Now I just need to make some 'loads' for them to carry.
Well, I took a delve into my 'clutter bits box' and put some together.
Firstly, a 'sensible' load.....
(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a416/blindbeggarminiatures/60db52d7-7b4a-4c05-a4cb-2a3bbc521336_zpsc85swg3g.jpg)
...which I will use on one of the later figures, but it does not seem right for sci-fi to me so I made a few 'not so sensible' versions.....which seem more appropriate to me.
:D
(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a416/blindbeggarminiatures/5c34bdcf-0c1c-4d69-b59e-870ee901bbfd_zpsm1sqbbqk.jpg)

Hi-Ho!

Maybe he has an anti grav harness? It really finishes those sherdaws off nicely (part sherpa, part dawg!).
-
Haha haha lol
They may need a 'wide load' or 'we break for no one' sticker on the back ;)
Cheers
Matt
-

No, they just have immense strength and balance.
And I like that name.
I may just nick it, or use something of a similar vein.
;)
Haha haha lol

Glad that they tickled you, Bertie.
These loads are not so wide, but the next lot may well be.
;)
Before the next bunch of Porters, though, will be the Marshall and his Hounds, as I finished them off earlier.....

This fella is going to double up as Inquisitor Snoop and his Doggs in our I-Munda campaign.
:D

Loving the marshall and his hounds, and the terrible puns accompanying him! Are these part of a current Kickstarter or a future one? (Sorry, haven't been following along.)

I just need to try and get some painted examples sorted out first.

Haven't been paying attention, and funny thing, as amazing as it's all coming out to be, wasn't shocked. Problem with being a legend in MY mind, Mason ol' bean. :D
'Sherdaws', IS catchy! Of course, in their language, just means 'impoverished younger relatives...' lol

They are supposed to be exceptially strong and steady (they are all solid legs under that robe) but I DID intrntionally make these loads on the extreme side for fun.
I shall make the rest a little smaller, more like this example.....

I have started to paint some of the Outland Warriors, beginning with a couple of the female members of the band.
As someone else will be painting a group up in the 'official' buckskin colours I have opted to paint some differently in more garish gear to represent a different type of band.
These will represent a nomad band in the Outlanders setting, which will double up as a Scavenger gang in our Necromunda games...
(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a416/blindbeggarminiatures/62f4d965-81df-4aed-b519-874311ffedc1_zpsewbtbxo4.jpg)
Outfitted in much brighter clothing than some of the other groups on Outland, the Nomad culture favours brighter clothing which has often seen better days once exposed to the elements for a while.
-
Looking good Mason ;)
-
With all that fur trim I'm guessing they're from a 'fringe world'. Baddum tish! I'm here all week, try the veal!
They could be good for Dredd too, though to be honest I'm pretty interested in the Outlanders game setting from what I've heard so far.

I can see the Dredd thing: Cursed Earth outcasts, maybe.
It was suggested earlier that they could be female Valhallans as well, which is something that had not occurred to me.
As for the Outlanders setting: I hope to do a bit more on the scenery side of things soon too, just for my own games and scene setting at the moment.
;)
-
Cursed Earthers was what I had in mind too. I wonder what creature their furs come from?

I am just awaiting the review stage to clear and then I will press 'GO!'.

Cool! Will there be Grizzats (part grizzly part rat :D)?

While I have the time today I will take the opportunity to collect some of the pictures that have been taken recently for various things together in one place...
Beginning with the Marshall and Hounds.
(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a416/blindbeggarminiatures/ca8b41c7-e840-4245-83ae-2f52f2972c18_zpscs7sdir6.jpg)
The Hounds are a key feature of gaming in the Outland setting, which will become clearer later... ;)
Some scenes that were set up featuring some of the figures and scenery that will be being used....

-
That's a great set up.
-
Ok here's my take on Paul's recent crop of figures. They include the Alien Trader and his two Sherpas, the Marshal and his two Robo Hounds and the "Over the Mountain" gang.
-
And more.
-
And some shots with a little terrain around them. Just gt to be based up now.
-
Nice one, Jeff.
I love 'em!
:-* :-*
I hope they were not too far out of your comfort zone.
;)
-
You've made a lovely job of those, Jeff :D
-
And now based up and ready to go....
(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a416/blindbeggarminiatures/IMG_2076_zpssa6rgzq3.jpg)

Nice one Paul, they fit in with the three originals a treat.

You have blended them in really well.
Similar neat, clean styles and palettes.
I am well chuffed with the result.
:D

And it seems that I forgot to add pictures of the group in their sets once they were based up...
....so here they are:
;)
Male Outland Warriors.

The characters really do belong here too....so, I shall add them here as I complete them.
The first three:
The Priest with Cyber-Hound
(http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p419/thebeggarscave/79bfb63a-bb1b-4b3f-9bd7-332d861aab92_zpsjyqku5eg.jpg)
This mysterious robed figure that wanders the streets of Landfall is known locally as 'The Priest'.
Nobody knows exactly what he is doing in Landfall.
Some say he is a Priest of a long dead hokey religion.
Others that he is a representative of a mysterious clandestine organisation.
Some even speculate that he is a spy for the Empire of Man.
Whatever the truth is, he can always be seen accompanied by his Cyber-Hound, chatting amiably with all and sundry.
What is his real purpose in the city?
Nobody knows for sure, but everybody seems to have their own theory.
The Bounty Hunter with 'Mule'.
(http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p419/thebeggarscave/BHU%20paint_zpsxyjxvwxw.jpg)
Tuss-Ken is a member of one of the many desert nomad tribes that populate the Southern wastes. He is a well known character within the criminal and law enforcement societies of Landfall as his services are often sought out from both sides of the law.
If someone wants somebody 'found' in the Southern desert they know who to call.
He is accompanied at all times by his 'mule' which carries his equipment for him. Not many know that the 'mule' is actually a viscous, massive hound that can shrug off the robes and packs he carries quite easily and chase after Tuss-Ken's pray at command should the need arise.
The Customs Officer and Sensor-Bot
(http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p419/thebeggarscave/CUS%20paint_zpsgk3bt3xx.jpg)
Officer DI-88-LE is stationed at the main starport of Landfall, working in the many docking bays checking cargo manifests and monitering the import of goods to ensure that everything is above board and legal.
Wearing a heavy duty armoured overcoat that contains many inbuilt devices it also provides a good degree of protection should there be any incidents.
One of the most obvious features in the suit is the translation device attached to the collar to enable him to communicate with the varied species that utilise the facility as well as ensuring that he can keep in constant connection with the rest of his department and Spaceport Security.
He also has cybernetic aural implants to aid communication and also protect him from any concussive assault on his senses.
His constant companion in his duties is his sensor-bot, SN1-FF-A, who he keeps up a constant barrage of binary cant whilst going about their duties.
They may suffer from a distinct lack of personality and social skills but between them they perform an excellent job maintaining the security and upholding the service of the Customs section in Landfall spaceport.
More to come as I finish them....

:-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
Wonderful figures and characters Paul, especially Tuss-Ken. :)

Cheers, Matt.

Now I just need to finish off the other characters.
I can, however, add the Desert Nomads to this thread now....
(http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p419/thebeggarscave/389391fd-ab31-4cad-8986-e4602ac8be77_zpsvtcizgf9.jpg)

Wonderful additions! 8)
Two pairs, bounty-hunter with his "mule" and the customs officer and bot really steal the show for me! :-*
-
Really cool stuff Paul, I might have to get some of these at some point!
-
Very nice work.
-
Thanks, chaps.
:)
I have painted a few more of the character figures but have no proper 'pairs' finished yet.
Maybe next week I may be able to rectify that.
;)
In the meantime, here are the first three of the Children of the Sands....
(http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p419/thebeggarscave/fd064894-24fb-44d3-b505-6d1db36c95a2_zps6kwbhqns.jpg)
There are more of these to come.

Another one of the Characters from Phase 2 who is also featuring in the latest Phase, the Tracker....
The Tracker with Stealth-Pattern Cyber Hound.
(http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p419/thebeggarscave/4324254c-ed07-4d43-8408-cd8cdc5c2a80_zps7cghdx64.jpg)
Ranger Raye is an expert tracker and scout currently serving with the 7th Ranger Company of the Outland Security Forces. More at home in the dense woodlands of the Northern continent or the deserts further South than while in garrison at Landfall, she can move almost silently through the trees and dunes leaving no trace of her passing.
She is usually accompanied by her Stealth-Pattern hound 'MU-TT-L33' who is equipped with chameleon-like armour plates that enable him to be all but invisible in any surroundings when still, and an enhanced nasal tracking device that can seek out chemical traces as well as biological scents.

Outstanding!

Outstanding!
Thanks, Richard.

It is time to move the Rangers over here too, as the KS finishes today and I will be getting rid of that thread soon.
Government-backed, SpecForce Rangers:

Well, I hope that you are not alone in that regard.

I shall pop a few more piccies up later.....
-
Some of my Deep Ones from the recent KS, painted up as Amphibious Alien Civilians....
(http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p419/thebeggarscave/23bf95eb-801f-43b5-9d8f-138df8003260_zps7o6tefd9.jpg)
I think they work well in that guise.
What do you think?
-
Those look good. :)

A Judge Dredd Klegg has been subtly converted into an Ogryn and been painted for another project.
He will, however, also be added to the slowly growing collection of figures that should prove suitable for the Outland Inquisimunda setting.

Varnish is coming out a fair bit too shiny at the moment but will be given a splash of dullcoat when I get some more.
He will do for now....
As for a lot of the previous piccies on the thread being killed by photobucket...I shall try and rectify some of those over the weekend.
