Hi all. These are some more post apoc figs for my collection. This time, they are mutants from the deep wastelands. White hair, pale blue/white skin, yellow eyes. Rags and archaic weapons. Could double as members of "the Family" from Omega Man.

Hope you all like. Figs are 28mm, Classic Citadel Confrontation Gangers that have been sitting in a box for a very long time, and a Copplestone scavenger. Wish the pics were better, but they are just from my phone.

Mullet. Pretty cool, though I must say their skin pigment and hair reminds me of something. :)
-
Rogue Trooper? Reminds me of him.
Nice work there, by the way, they look ace!
-
Very nice, I didn't now these gangers 8) Nice terrain too!
-
Great stuff!!
-
thanks, Yeah, I didn't think about the rougue trooper thing till i was done with the flesh. But oh well.
-
Oh wow, I haven't seen those old GW Scavvies for years!
Really like them with your paintjob too, the cool light blue skintone is very effective against the warm tones of the clothing and equipment.
Will you be adding any more to the group?
-
The one with the simple rifle is a Mark Copplestone, either Grenadier or Copplestone castings I reckon.
Nice figures.
-
Don't think any of those are GW actually.
-
I think they are Marauder Miniatures scav gangers, released briefly for Games Day 1991 in the US. They were part of a premature range that came out when Confrontation evolved into Necromunda v1. I'm sure I've seen a version of the chainsword one on a Necromunda forum a while back.
If they are Marauder, that'll explain the engorged craniums… lol
The normal headed guy with the long rifle is definitely a Copplestone Castings scavenger.

I'll stay with my copplestone ident on at least one, and the rifle looks like the future wars weapons, not sure about the other ones, there were some odd ranges between the confrontation and necromunda switch I must admit.
-
No, all four are GW models from the Confrontation game - they were part of the Marauder Miniatures releases.
See on this page (http://www.collecting-citadel-miniatures.com/wiki/index.php/Necromunda_First_Releases_%28Confrontation%29_-_Collectors_Guide), about 2/3 of the way down.
I actually have virtually all those models on the Collectors page, which is why I recognised them here! lol

What's this no business? They four you have are correctly identified as GW, the fifth one is as I've said.
Why you no listen! ;)
:D
-
Whoops, I didn't even see that one!
That's what I get for sneakily-checking out LAF at work... I didn't realise there were more than four, and didn't see the CC ganger until I went back and side-scrolled further round! o_o
You are correct in your ID though, it's a CC Scavenger.
Also, I should say "Good Job!" to kenohhkc for it, as I hadn't seen it before now! ;D

Me neither, well I have ish, this is a variant sculpt. Gun gave it away for me.

Thought so… ;)

OMG! I used to have some of those way back when! I had the Elites, Hunters and Tech packs. What the hell happened to them? Oh yes, I 'loaned them' to a friend of mine who chopped 'em up for conversions… The crazy fool.
My favourite was the Tech leader with bolter, pointing.
And great job kenohhkc! So busy debating the origins of your figures, I forgot to comment on them. Personally, I like the freaky blue skin. Works without giving that Rogue Trooper vibe IMHO.
-
Superb work, a very old-school look to the miniatures which I really dig a lot! Matched with some superb painting, I enjoyed looking at them, excellent work!
-
thanks for the good comments. wish I would have known there was a debate. After the last pic I specify their origins.
The one is definately a Copplestone scavenger, rescued from his little black box that Copplestone shipped in when they were first released (not sure if he still does).
the others were acquired from a great Las Vegas hobby store that I believed closed some years ago. He used to have some very old stuff on peg boards, old marauder and citadel lead, GW games, etc when they weren't available anywhere, and at the original prices. We spent a whole days gambling money in there that day. I don't remember if they were on marauder cards or citadel cards. But I know they are shown in the White Dwarfs with the confrontation rules in them. I have some more repeats, but thay are pretty distinct, so don't know if I will add them to my gang or not. and the big heads make them look mutanty to me!
I also have the waste/ash desert nomad guys(who look OK with repaeats in the gang) and the tech guys(predessers to the Van Saar, although really they are humans with a lot of tech implants). I'll be trying to get those up over the holidays.

I remember those little jewellery boxes Copplestone used to use when he traded as Guernsey Foundry. I bought the first 5 packs of the Future Wars range after I saw the ad in Wargames Illustrated. Long time ago now. :o
Looking forward to seeing more of your work. :D

Nice little gang!
