Salvage Crew (Now with PIRATES!!!)

[Gluteus Maximus]

Now that's one serious wrench   

  I had to reread that... I thought you said "wench"! 

Nice to no that the Major & Ellie Six are still together after saving the universe in The 5th Element.

Nice work there, TMF.

Either way, it works

Sonja, Captain of the Betty Sue, a wise cracking, smooth talking, fast drawing wench who has been in command of the Betty for five years, prowling the less civilised sections of the galaxy. However she is known by another name, that of Her Royal Intergalatic Highness Crown Princess Sonja Quamar of the Degarian Imperium.

The reason for exile is rather simple, her older sister, a rather unhinged persona of some note staged a coup against her mother, seizeing control of the Imperium from thier mother and attempting to remove the threat of her sister, an acheiviment she believed she had done in the final battle of the civil war.





Arnuld, the Betty's heavy weapons specialist. A former member of the Howling Fox's who went by the codename "Rocket Racoon". Some say he is a mutant, others a product of in breeding, whatever the truth, anyone who makes fun of his height, tends to wake up in a med bay, if they wake up at all.

Fiercely loyal to Sonja, and the Major, he was present when they busted Ellie Six out, and as a result he treats the girl as a daughter.

beautiful figures with a very individualistic touch - lot of inspiration

thanks for sharing

Sonja is a fana´tastic model, I don't think I've seen her before - where is she from?
Great background as well btw, have you any plans for them?

[TheMightyFlip]

Sonja is a iron Kingdoms mini

As for plans? I dont know, perhaps one day I'll get a skirmish level game to use them in.

The Professor joined the Betty while it was docked at Proxima VI, a lowly mining colony, apperantly he had run afoul of the authoirtys and the local criminal element while excavating a recently found alien ruin. Needing to get off world swiftly he enlisted on as crew just before the ship left.

It wasnt long before such labour was proven not for him, but he has proved himself useful in other areas, mainly in medical and xenobiology. Equipped with his Type 17 .45 Mauser, he has proven to be a good shot with a firearm, even if his weapon doesnt hold up to the more "standard" equipment used by the crew of the Betty.

Great use for the figure!

I already have two, one painted as a standard "pulp" character and one undergoing a weapon conversion - a hand swap to a 19thC style revolver for Darkest Africa.

Now I might have to buy another painted in a slightly more futuristic style for my 5150 Firefly-type games

Another member of the Betty's crew. Dolph is a hired gun hand, no more, no less.
As a former member of the Smiley Face gang he is no stranger to criminal acts, though does seem to be trying to make a fresh start for himself...that is when hes not beating people up in bar room brawls, or leaving dead bodies in his wake after a few wrong said words.

Lars, one of the Betty Sue's lower deck crew, taken on at the last port of call, and as a result, not given much responsiblity.

Captain's annual crew assessment reads: "Good at lifting heavy weights"

And that was actually put on a friend's assessment. How he laughed (or didn't)

[commissarmoody]

Hey isnt that guy A GW fig?

[TheMightyFlip]

Yeah, i bought him (and his hideous counterpart) for my Guard, and well...he doesnt really fit, so I drafted him into the Salvage Crew.

[commissarmoody]

yeah i was going to get them for my guard army but didnt think they fit ether, but as crew they would be spot on.

Great bunch of figures! Looks similar to what I've been doing lately; the free-prose setting and character driven miniatures. Great work!

The twins Fire and Ice are from the same facility that created Ellie Six and are collectivly known as Project 5 (Ellie being Project 6). They are actually one girl in two bodies, each knowing and seeing what the other see's, hears and feels, this has its drawbacks for to hurt one is to hurt the other.

As thier names suggest, Ice has the ability to control water and ice (cryokinesis) while Fire has the ability to control heat and flames (pyrokinesis) and both unlike Ellie have completed thier mental conditioning, making them loyal to the facility.
