Title: Post-nuclear Desert Pirates Army
Post by: RedGobbo on July 16, 2006, 11:32:06 AM

Hi, my name is Wojtek, I am from Poland and I am new on this forum. Please excuse me all my english mistakes. Great norsmen army on witchhunter.net inspired me to create my own army consisted of minis from different manufacturers. As a postnuclear freak decision was clear - I want an army of scums from radiated desert   :x . Maybe you can help me to find some minis and manufacturers to create my warband. For now I have about 20 soldiers/gangers:
-some GW minis (some converted tallarn desert riders, gorkamorka digganobs and some necromunda stuff)
-lots of eM-4 Combat Zone minis (Savages and Scavengers mainly)
Now I am planning to get some Copplestone Future Wars minis and maybe Hetzerdog Babylons Burning (Robed Cultists are quite ok). My first goal is to gather about 30-40 foot soldiers and then some vehicles and maybe even some mutated beasts :mrgreen: . Maybe you have any idea where to get some more post nuclear minis?

Red Gobbo,
  Welcome aboard.

for interesting post-nuclear figures you might try to find some of the Vor figures made by FASA.  The Neo-Soviets would definatly fit right in.  they might be a little hard to find as FASA no longer exists, but they can be found in second hand shops and on ebay

Hi guys. I checked those neosovs, they are really great especially Chem Grunts and Rad Troopers, hope I will manage to get some on ebay. I would like to divide my horde in groups of 8-10 minis and keep each squad in a little bit different style. First squad is almost ready I tried to make them look like some kind of desert nomads. You can check first few minis in the following links but please dont mind that crappy painting, Iam poor painter, focus on models and tell me how do you think do they fit for post nuclear world:

Only one to the right has good painting - its not my work. Four more squad members are waiting for painting.

Next group will look like road pirates and gangsters from Mad Max    :)

UPDATE: I made some research and found that minis from Fasa VOR are still available form Ral Partha Europe Online Store  :mrgreen:

The miniatures from the WARZONE faction "Dark Legion" could be useful, I think. Also have a look at some minis from the WARZONE extension "Dark Eden". The WARZONE miniatures have all their very own style but maybe you like some of them. I'm sorry, I don't know who's producing the miniatures at the moment.

Thanks for links. I found Black Scorpion Minis few days ago and they are really good, especially Alfonso - Hired Gun. I checked also TAG minis and some of them  look promising.

For now almost rest of the first squad is converted and is awaiting for painting:
