Just finally started getting some paint on my Brother Vinni Nuclear Sandlot figs.

I am going to modify some of the Unit Entries and Gear lists from AE Bounty for my games I think. Nice solid core of rules there. :)

Thanks for all that guys! Sorry it took me so long to reply; lots going on here.

Not the best photos, my SLR is packed and I had to rely on my iPhone with a macro lens for these. Here's three more for my Brotherhood of Steel warband. :)



My Paladin Sergeant with Laser Rifle (some minor conversions here).



Paladin with Minigun (thanks to some wire, putty and an old Imperial Regular).

Here they were pre-painting, so you can get an idea of the conversions. :)





More to come. I've got another Paladin to paint to round out the team and then two robots to accompany the scribe. More BV minis are on their way to me as well; so hopefully they will get painted once moving dies down.

Thanks. The basic paladin fig is actually pretty versatile with a decent bitz box. Just need to get my order in of some basic assault rifles and other odds and ends so I can convert up my other seven... :)

Thanks guys!

Up next is a bog-standard Paladin with Laser Rifle. Had to do at least one just 'out of the box'. :)

Agree 100%. One of the most realistic paint jobs I've seen. Very well done!

your painting is fantastic! I'm working on my brother hood army now and am quite jealous of your work. I didn't think of not using the helmets and adding it as an accesory.. I also like the adding power cords ect.
