I'm having a bit of a different approach to things this year; instead of just concentrating on one project for a couple of months until it's completed I am going to work on a couple at a time to give me some variety.

This started out as a small contingent for Weird War 2 and escalated into a full-blown undertaking. I have many figures lined up to paint and hopefully, time allowing during the year, there'll be some interesting scenery to accompany them.

Anyway, here's Killjoy from Wyrdd Miniatures who's a major figure in the Deadside forces:



The beginning of the explanatory write up with other figures is here:

Brilliant, can't wait to see Jaunty. Did you ever read the Garth Ennis min-series? Great stuff.

I'll be doing Jaunty as a stinky leprechaun and a Naga (with hat) eventually.

I've not read any of the comics, just played the N64 and Dreamcast game (twice, all the way through) and played the second one for a bit on the PS2 but it wasn't half as good  :)

Opposite for me, never played the games but loved the comics. Looking forward to seeing more progress. :)

Oh dear! That's how it usually starts. A disciplined, focussed gamer starts dabbling in more than one project, it all snowballs out of control & suddenly there are 25 half-finished projects, with no enthusiasm left.

I know from experience ..... :lol:

Thats a very unusual & intriguing game concept you have there. It's got me wondering which other PC games I could look at with a view to figure gaming.... 8)

You mean there are other ways to do it? :D
