I've finished two more saucer crewmen.

What an amazing thread! I've been lurking, but not commenting before. This is great!

I had a good amount of laughs in this excellent thread. Great stuff!

I've finished the last of the Post-Apoc, Pulp Space Nazis. I have one or two more ideas that I'm tinkering around with, but for now this is it for the Space Nazis.

The first is the saucer's sinister Master-at-Arms armed with his death ray, Eva. Next is the saucer's surgeon and chief science officer, accompanied by his robotic assistant, Lil' Adolf. Last is the mysterious, commander of Cyborg Hitler's bodyguard -a powerful psyker who likes pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and crushing ribcages with his massive mechanical fist.

Terrific work! They look great and the backstory is perfect.

In fairness, don't we all?

Finally had time to work through this glorious thread from the start. Inspirational stuff here, in terms of modelling and the story of your games. Love it.

I agree - fantastic painting! I would pass on the pina colada's though as I prefer Manhattans but otherwise sure.

Koyote,
Don't know if you know about these, The Gutter Gophers from Khurasan Miniatures.

Scroll down the page. I think they're suitably creepy. I love your background stories!

Those gophers are creepy indeed. They are 15mm, so any idea how they scale against 28mm man-sized model? Are they the size of mice or giant rats?

The model on the left is from Copplestone Castings' Scavengers model line. When I purchased the model, I had intended to incorporate it into my post-apoc fishermen warband or to use it as a Freelancer. In either case, I wanted to upgrade its weapon, so I replaced the model's original weapon with an assault rifle. I don't quite yet know what I'm going to do with this model. It will likely show up somewhere in the campaign.

The robot is the from Hydra Miniatures Robot Legion model line. I replaced the model's 1950s sci-fi death ray pistol with a much more fearsome weapon that, if memory serves, came from sci-fi weapon sprue made by Reaper Miniatures. The robot's head is indeed the head that came with the model, but it's not attached to the torso as the sculptor intended. What is now the robot's "face" is actually the bottom of the head bit. It's the 'ball' portion of the ball and socket joint that connects to the head to the torso. By rotating the head, the model's head is now shaped like an elongated snout that looks, IMHO, more menacing than the original design. I've included a photo of the original model from the Hydra Miniatures' webstore so you can compare the two.

For the purpose of the campaign, the robot, R0-MLL, will provide Cyborg Hitler's goons some heavy firepower in the form of a plasma caster.
