Behind every marketplace is a rich jerk. Here is the jerk I have in mind! Honestly he's more like a lord or civilian for sci-fi games, but I just painted him and I feel pretty happy about him, so he can also be a wealthy merchant.



Those old Spacelords figures are such fun to paint.

The pig guy? He is a pig-faced space orc, sculpted by John Pickford for Foundry but never released. I was lucky enough to just be given a set of them by chance, and I have since painted them up.

Here is a shot of the whole group:



Here is the leader and his orderly:



Here is a blog post with some unpainted ones:

This young Gnomad got a job working at a weapons stall. What he lacks in spelling he makes up in being the owner's cousin.

A friend of mine read the WEPPINGS CHEEP sign and thought it said WEDDINGS. I laughed, but she was onto something! How about a wedding chapel? Here, a lasgun wedding in progress.

I realise it's not a market piece as such, but it's a civilian project so I thought I'd add this little house. I got a bunch of miscast parts from Ramshackle Games this past Oldhammer weekend, including a big shipping container and a bunch of doors, pipes and panels, so I stuck them all together as the spirit moved me and then added a few extra details like a partial fence I got from the LAF sprue exchange.

Again, not marketplacey as such, but it seems weird to make a second thread just for other PA models. Here are some more post-apocalyptic models from the Ghosts of Gaia Kickstarter plus some Pig Iron guys that have been sitting in the tin bin since I bought them on here a year or two ago.

That chapel is a great idea  lol

"Lasgun Wedding" is the title of a Necromunda novel, I think I read it but don't recall anything about it :)
