AT-43 Oni Mercs
« on: February 21, 2014, 06:58:15 PM »
A commission job here. A box of mean zeds to repaint. Here are the first 10 models (almost finished).



I'll do better photo's later. My dodgy lighting and haste to take a pic has washed out the girl's nose.

Just as a comparison, here's what some of the models looked like originally.



I've got a bunch of weapon guys like the green zed to do and there are also a few bigger battlesuit types.

Outstanding! I have the Oni army box and every once in a while think about getting read of it. I think I will hold on a little while longer.

Great paint job!

You should start thinking about painting them instead. :-)

They are very valuable, my set went for over £200 last month. ;D

Still working my way through these deaders. I think the big guy is a great model.





Just a few more to do now.

I really wish I'd picked these up when I had a chance! Fatastic paints. :)

I don't like the models, but that is some excellent painting!

I've always wondered why Rackham made such great miniatures and continues to flop on every game setting they try...AT43 had some brilliant models.

Very nice work again! Big motivation boost for me to get mine out!

IMO the whole pre-painted thing kept many away.
Maybe at some day someone buys the range and brings them out unpainted...

I think AT-43 was a quite successful although expensive venture but it was taking Confrontation into PPP that screwed Rackham totally. Again an expensive project but also perhaps a bit of backlash from a customer base that was founded on painting and modelling their metals and some retailers felt shafted apparently and refused to stock the PPP game. I ordered some left over Rackham stuff from a retailer a couple of years ago and their web page still had the explanation posted as to why they would not be stocking 4th edition Confrontation. They felt Rackham had killed their old product lines over night and left them with a lot of stock they'd just bought that was not going to sell.

Shame, regardless.  I really liked the old Rackham metals I had back in the day...should have kept some.
