Lord of the Wind Dance, Baharroth is totally rocking Pete!  :-*  :-*
Stunning colours and blue tones with the red gems mate!

Cheers
Matt

Cheers! I would have been done faster, but when it comes to eldar, it's hard to tell the difference between 'things that are gems' and 'things that are not gems.'  lol

And speaking of gems...



Seems I've got eldar on the brain at the moment...or at least, in the grey hill!



Bonus internet points to anyone who can read the lettering here. Maybe he repaired his bike with an old sign?



Took a photo from the back because of course I did.



You know what they say about guys with big gloves...they're probably horribly mutated.

You nailed that mate.

I'm terrified to meet him in the wastes!

Cheers! I did the rust a little earlier than normal and I used a new piece of foam, which probably helped.



Now we come to Kid Flash, but how did he end up in post-apocalyptic earth? You've really done it now, Bart...



It's hard to tell, but it bent at the ankle, so I had to repaint that part. So fiddly, so thin...



Gotta run fast!



It was a fiddly miniature to be sure, but it wasn't too bad overall. Those pants sure are tight, though.

I had no miniatures for a while, then suddenly dog.



This furry fella's name is Eleven, the postal dog. Bandits, ghouls and even super mutants leave this intrepid pupper be as he makes his deliveries across the wasteland, for to impede him is to invite death.



Not rain, hail, sleet or radioactive dust storms shall prevent this dog from carrying out his duties and Legend of Zelda references.



The miniature itself is Warmachine's Cygnar Patrol Dog.

Love the dog. Wonderfully done.

It's not big, or clever, but let's do it anyway

Cheers! It was quite pleasant to paint.

Now for something that was less pleasant. I wasn't sure what to do with him at first, so I made him part of The Artful Dodgers, which I started a page or two ago.



Alejandro, or 'Az' as his friends call him is a scavver, just like his father. Unlike his father, he doesn't care if the gear he scavs is buried in the dirt or belongs to some wussy 'vaultie.'



Like many members of post-apocalyptica, Az has been alone for a while, but he gets by with the scavving skills that his dad passed on to him. He would have kept stealing from whoever, until he tried to pick the pockets of one Jack Travers.

[/url]

After catching him, Jack offered Az a choice: join her, get handed over to the local law enforcers for theft, or get punched in the gut. If he'd known how hard Jack could punch, he probably would have joined her straight away. Now, he's a member of The Artful Dodgers. Hey, at least he's got a place to sleep of a night, so that's nice.



The model itself was a Malifaux Child. I left this picture fuzzy because it has issues, just like the model. The arms are tiny and hard to work with and the head was in two sections. There was no apparent reason for the head to be in two sections, but it was.

I just got that dog to add to my post-apoc collection instead of using it for Warmahordes too.  Cool figure.

One piece metals do have good points to them don't they Pete. One does not need a two part head on a 28mm figure :(

By Iggy's fingers, you might have a point there!

He is a good boy. It's a tad fiddly to reach some parts of the model, but that might be more a testament to the state of my brushes and skill than the model itself. Enjoy him!

This is a true statement.

And speaking of one piece metals...



I made a purchase from Eureka Miniatures.



Mohammed set his plank of wood down in the market and sighed. Sure, the scavvers traded fairly with him, but who would want to buy this pre-war junk? Sure, he'd have a few lookie-loos, but if he didn't make a sale soon...



Despite the tiny merchandise, this guy was surprisingly fun to paint once I got into it.



But he's not all I've been painting.



Now we've got this father and son team. Are they scavvers? Townsfolk walking home from a hard day of trading? The truth probably lies somewhere in between...



This was the second photo I took from this angle. Kind of glad I did since the first photo didn't focus on the kid! Cameras are funny sometimes. I wonder what's caught his attention?



Their backs could have turned out better, but they're good enough for me.



What's that? Do you think I'm done? Oh no my friend...



These two boys might not have a proper ball, but they'll play football with whatever comes to hand...or foot, as the case may be.



'What? I didn't tackle-oof!'



Can you tell I don't paint dark skin very often?



I probably should have dusted his shorts up a little more, but eh.



Finally in today's plethora of uploads, we have this boy who's clearly not too 'tyred' to play.



I wasn't sure what colour to make his clothes, but somehow I decided on my old primary school uniform. How those survived a nuclear blast is beyond me...



I'm not sure why, but I think this kid's name is Simon.



Given the brush I used, I reckon the dirt on the tyre came up pretty well.



The group is called the Africa Market Trinket Stall. Overall, they were nice miniatures to paint and at a good price too. I probably could have done better on the bases, but they're good enough for me. They'll be the perfect NPCs for harassing, haranguing and generally getting in the way of PCs during games.

Very clever idea to use that set! Painting works well and you have done a lot of stuff.

Wow those look great. I went straight to buy that set after seeing it here. Luckily for me it was out of stock thus sawing me from myself - for a bit..

Theat tyre boy and pre-war junk seller are amazing! What a set for Post Apocalyptia!  8)  8)  8)

Grab the nuka-cola, get your pre-war Raybands and watch the atomic sunset.  8)

Are these rules still available? The link on page one no longer works.
