My Post-Apocalyptic Project Updated 20/09

The Ahistorical Post Apocalypse begins with a dust up between mercenaries (armed with Sterlings and MRAPs) and Cthuloid Sovietskis. Who will win the battle for the Suitcase of Mystery..?

Looks great. Perhaps some pics here might wet peoples appetites for more

Hear, hear !

I will see what I can do. I have a heap of terrain half-built at the moment, along with a gang of scavengers. Hopefully some time after Salute I'll be able to do a roundup.

Next in the Ahistorical Post-Apocalypse, a group of daring British Megapolis Law Officers enter the Bone Counties (previously known as the Home Counties when they were homey) to hunt down a dangerous band of killers.


Will they bring their alien mercenaries with them?


Or maybe the full might of the LAW!!!


Disclaimer: This is not the full might of the Law. The Law also has seven vehicles backing it up, and eventually - helicopters!

That's a lot of judges! 

They look nice though! Nice PJs!

Cheers

Thanks! They were super quick to paint, those old Laserburn sculpts have a lot of character.

Also, the Bone County rockfields, with half-done Scavvies for scale:


7 rocky outcrops and twelve big pillars for fighter to weave their way around.

Finally, a chance to play with the rocks and ruffians I've been painting:

Rocks and Ruffians - there's a great name for a post-apocalyptic game!

I've only just discovered this thread. Nice collection of figures and terrain. I like the fantastical, cartoonish, 2000AD-ish take on a post-apocalyptic setting, what with the aliens and the dramatic rock formations and all.

Sounds like a dramatic encounter! I'm very intrigued by this idea of deployment zones being determined by a "scouting duel". It's the kind of rules mechanics I like to see in a game.

[Ahistorian]

It is, isn't it!? Or Texas Rangers vs Apaches! Or Ottomans vs Greek thieves in the mountains! Or Border Reivers!

Damnit, now I want to paint up some of all of those to use with my rocks 

Thanks, I can't bring myself to go grim and gritty with it. I did that when I designed my modern rules and it made it all a bit "real". Much better to have dinosaurs and whatnot.

When I have written them out properly, I'll do a breakdown at the start of a battle report.

Looking great!

[Ahistorian]

Thanks! It's a nice diversion from historicals.

[Rhoderic]

Thanks, I can't bring myself to go grim and gritty with it.

And all the better for it! I couldn't either, if I was doing post-apoc. (Haven't caved yet, and the defences might just hold although the sight of fun, fantastical, adventure-filled post-apoc projects like this do assail them viciously.)

[Ahistorian]

Go on, give in... 

[Rhoderic]

No one has sculpted a range of Nausicaa-style post-apocalyptic feudals yet. The defences will hold.

(*Mumbles under breath*: They have to hold...)
