It occured to me that over the last few years buying random odd mini's Ive actually aquired some gangs, so Ive decided to paint them up, or in the case of already being painted, gather them up. My overall aim is to have a number of diffrent themed gangs all battling it out for control of the streets of NewPort City.
Mistress Libby's Domme Gang
(http://usera.ImageCave.com/annakova/DommeSquad2.jpg)
Led by thier leader Mistress Libby, these followers of the outlawed lifestyle of BDSM have become a well armed militia, taking control of the former red light district in the city. They are well feared by the populance for they are well known as kidnappers and controling the people trafficking black market out of the city.
A mix of Hasslefree, Black Scorpion and Foundry, I have another 15 miniatures to add to thins gang, oh joy...
-
Good start, what rules are you going to use?
-
Nice minis.

Thanks, as for rules and gaming, I doubt any of these will see a table top as I dont go to any gaming groups and none of my family or friends are into gaming at all.

The NewPort City Police Department

The thin blue line, the only thing keeping the average citizens of NewPort safe and under control, after all, without thier constant vigilance and zero tolerance for any kind of deviation, thier world would be plunged into chaos. It can only be prevented with political correctness, health and safety, and lots of big guns!
However due to the rising number of heavily armed gangs, many with explosives, the NPCPD has been issued with heavily armed Hard Suits by Genom Inc, though due to budget restraints, in limited numbers.
-
Brilliant! The police look fantastic - the colour scheme really unfies all the different ranges that the models come from. Very cool. Like you, I've been noticing recently that I have a lot of modern/near future models that need to get used (i.e. painted), and this is a great way to do that. Looking forward to more! Oh, and are there any vehicles on the horizon?
-
Really nicely painted miniatures.
Keep up the good work and show us more. ;)

Thank you, as for vehicles...you never know, though I would love to get my hands on some of those PVC Bonaparte (from Tank Police) tanks that came out in 2005.

The police force is very nice, I especially like the power suits. Some of the models seem a bit small compared to the Copplestone models though.
-
Very nice. I like mixing manufacturers my self. I have a gang similar to the first one I use as zombie survivors. I call them my Sin City Irregulars.
-
Nice Flip. Like the girls in particular. ;D

The problem with Copplestone is cast bases, I dont bother filing them down, just glue them to the base. As long as proportions are right Im not a stickler for size, Im kinda on the short size in real life, so a litle size variance is ok.
-
Nice Flip. Like the girls in particular. ;D
;D
-
I've started solo gaming as well as I hardly ever go to the local clubs. :-[
Who makes the little lady third from left top row?
-
Khursasan Minitautes...though theres a very good chance Ive spelt that wron. Shes in the 28mm Sci-fi range.
-
Very nice work. I like the paint scheme on the cops. Any more gangs planned?
-
Scavengers, Bikers, Samurai School girls, Corporate Hard cases, Super models gone bad, and Tribals. ;)

The NewPort City Hell's Heathen's
(http://usera.ImageCave.com/annakova/Biker1.jpg)
(http://usera.ImageCave.com/annakova/Biker2.jpg)
The Hell's Heathen's biker gang is made up of mostly ex military who spend most of thier time hanging out in in various bars, or working on thier bikes in thier garage. However they are well known to hire themselves out as enforcers or bounty hunters for the right price, they have to pay for fuel some how. They also seem to have picked up a heavy metal band that hands around them for protection, The Port City Rollers.
-
Nice hairy bunch!
-
VERY COOL STUFF! The first group posted reminded me of a character class from The Floating Vagabond, Intergalactic Bar & Grill:Bikini Biker Babes with Machine Guns. GREAT minis & BEAUTIFULLY painted.

Yep, it's Khurasan :

Great stuff Flip! These figures need to be used in a game or several!
Sorry I'm late for this thread, but just in case no-one's mentioned them, "5150" is a great set of rules, perfect for solo play which will have every option you need for near (or far) future gaming. Can also be played one-on-one, or all players on the same side, should you get the chance. Reasonably priced too and plenty of support on the YahooGroup.

I seem to be following right on Gluteus Maximus' er... coat tails.... I just found this thread.
These are some fantastic paint jobs going on here, O' Mighty Flipping One.
Even the NewPort City Hell's Heathen's ladies look hairy!

--- Come on, MightyFlip. Bagger, beg, plead, whine, pay, threaten them into playing! Good miniatures should not go to waste. Might I recommend the Warlords 2085 rules? http://www.skankgame.com/Downloads.html (http://www.skankgame.com/Downloads.html) They play fast for those who are time obsessed. I have used them for a variety for genres... pulp, horror, post apocalyptic, modern day, etc.
Some of the models seem a bit small compared to the Copplestone models though.
--- Now, now, Pil. They're just a little height challenged. Stop picking on the little people. :D

Thanks fella's, Im underway with the next five bikers, and have a heavy for the Domme squad to paint up. Then Im starting with the savages, though I do have an idea for convicts and nuns with guns now... :o
Ive read through the Skank rules a while ago and think I have them, and I also like the idea of solo gaming, problem is, I'd need a gaming table :(
-
(http://usera.ImageCave.com/annakova/Biker3.jpg)
Some more back up for the Heathens in the form of Olaf the hammer weilding ex-wrestler and some more hairy boys and another gang girl.
-
You have a fantastic set of miniatures there Flip. It's a shame you don't get to game with them, you should look into some solo rules options.
-
(http://usera.imagecave.com/annakova/Biker4.jpg)
Small update to two of the gangs, first up is these two for the Bikers, one Ramshackle mechanic lady humping a bent fuel drum or gas pipe and Angry Anthony, brother to some traffic cop called Max, from Reaper.
(http://usera.imagecave.com/annakova/dommesquad3.jpg)
The last update is a heavy for the Domme Squad, though I would be concerned about mixing latex and flame throwers...Another of the Foundry miniatures Ive had sat about for at least 5 years.
-
Still looking great. Keep those updates coming!

(http://usera.ImageCave.com/annakova/Scavs4.jpg)
The Scavengers
The people that make up this group are mostly lowlife scum, escaped convicts, lunatics or just simple down and outs who have no other place to go than down below the city. Living in the dark tunnels beneath NewPort, these scavengers have done thier best to carve a life out for themselves, searching through the junk dropped from above. These people have now banded together under the leadership of the Duke of NewPort (He's A number one) seen above in this red coat of office, no one has the heart to tell him that it was originally a hotel doormans coat. He is assisted in ruling "the people" by the Sheriff, a woman known to take no prisoners and enact the Dukes will with leathal effect, as well as an old Vector Industries Hard Suit, found damaged in the junk pile and repaired by the Doctor, a small chap of mutated stock but with quite a large brain in his head.
They often lead raids up into the city proper, searching for food, weapons, or anything that takes thier fancy. They have also been known to grab civilians (rumored for food) and as a result, maintaince workers in the sewers are now escorted by security teams. The Police has offered a bounty on Scav's, though the sheer number of hiding places makes hunting them seriously dangerous.

Combat Droids
A joint venture by Genom Inc and Vector Heavy Industries saw the creation of these heavily armed AI fighting machines. Designed as a way of countering the excessive amount of training time to learn how to operate a Hard Suit, the project stalled and was finally canceled due to spiraling costs, the driods inability to adapt to battle field situations, and the desire for Genom to install human brains into the units, thus creating a true cyborg (Genom went on to pursue the cyborg project alone). The remaining units are currently employed by the NewPort City Sanitation Department hunting Scavengers, with limited sucess despite having overwealming firepower.
-
This project is getting delightfully zany! I really like how you've gone to town, mixing different lines and styles.
-
(http://usera.ImageCave.com/annakova/Scavs5.jpg)
Another slow update, 4 more for the Scav crew Im quite pleased at the way these ones turned out, not saying Im not pleased with the others, just these 4 gave me a few weeks worth of headaches.
-
Project is still looking great. With so much fluff and great figures, it's a shame you don't at least solo game something with them.
-
Keep it up Flip! I like them :D
-
Where did the droids come from? I recognise the Copplestone female but the rest are new to me.
-
They are from the Syntha faction of the old Void game, available from Scotia Grendel.
-
Brilliant collection, keep 'em coming 8)
-
(http://usera.imagecave.com/annakova/Scavs6.jpg)
Apologies for the lack of updates and the poor lighting in the photo, 3 more for the Scav faction (4 if you count the bondage bear), two regular gangers and a waitress.
I'll been digging through my painted boxes and should have a new faction to post soon, stay tuned!
-
I am loving this project. You have some nice minis and great background fluff. Keep them coming.

The Gray Fox Mercenary Band
The Gray Fox Unit is made up of various veterans from World War IV, under the command of Major Corben. The unit is generally classed as an illegal combat force and as a reult have an active bounty on thier head's forcing them to remain out of NewPort City, this however does not stop the MegaCorps or even the NewPort Police from hiring them from time to time.
The unit operates mostly in the uncivilised wasteland that seperates NewPort from its closest neighbours, often patroling the highways that are still used by civilian traffic or hunting down Tech Scavs looting the abandoned landscape.
As a result of thier enviroment, the Unit has develped expert steatlh skills and ambush techniques, often the first and last thing an enemy hears is the crackling laser and ion fire.
-
I just saw this thread for the first time and read through all of it; great paintjobs on a very nice collection of figures. I love the fluff for each different faction. Nice job, keep 'em coming!
-
The Grey foxes are cool. Nice work.
-
Those Gray foxes are sweet!
-
Thanks everyone, just a little update, one more Biker.
(http://usera.ImageCave.com/annakova/Biker5.jpg)
Enjoy.
-
He reminds me a little of Hulk Hogan :o lol Which reminds me - I really need to get a mini Mr T.
Is this a skirmish game you're playing? With the huge amount of lovely figures you've painted it's going to be the biggest skirmish in history lol
-
He reminds me a little of Hulk Hogan :o lol
That's what I thought, too. Nice work!

Bio Booster Armor 1
While experimenting on various forms of Power Armor, the Zeon Corporation developed a form of organic armor they dubbed Bio Booster Armor. Unlike regular Power Armor the Booster links directly with its pilot, or host, bonding with him or her. During field tests it was found that after a matter of weeks the pilot was absorbed by the suit, Zeon, undetered, went forward and continued trials, ultimately killing 25 pilots. Before pilot 26 could be installed, the suit some how escaped (or was stolen) into the lower levels of NewPort City. All attempts to capture the suit have failed.
-
Nice suit. Great idea. The though that a suit of power armour running about on it's own cracks me up!

NewPort News
The NewPort News is part of the NP Network, and handles current affairs within the city, and the few surronding settlements that are under NewPort control. The media is heavily controlled by the MegaCorps and as a result almost all the news coverage is censored.
In recent years the NewPort News has become extremely popular for its nightly "Gang Watch" program, which showcases various gangs blowing the crap out of each other. This type of news coverage has become rather dangerous however, and its not uncommon for the crew to be armed.

Trixie
The uncivilised area's surronding NewPort City are populated by many types of people, some good, most others are just bad news however. One of these bad news characters is a girl by the name of Trixie, her m.o. seems to be to bind herself to rubble and act as a damsel in distress, only when her prey is close does she strike, either with a concealed weapon, or with a group of hired thugs. Though these tactics have worked well in the past, more and more travelers are getting wise to her, and she knows its only a matter of time before she will have to devise a new ambush stratergy.
-
Nice job on the news crew.

Mad Moxxi
Moxxi is the proprietor of a popular night club / brothel near the slums district of NewPort called Moxxi's Red Light, she is also the owner and organsier of Moxxi's Underdome Riot, a massive abandoned sports arena that has been turned into a huge gladiator sports venue where gangs and crims are forced to battle against each other to the death. Many condemed convicts have been entered into these events, and the Underdome often rivals "Gang Wars" in the TV listings.

The General Surgeon of NewPort Hills & Staff
The Doctor was once a gifted plastic surgeon who treated most of the rich and famous, though during WWIV he was discovered preforming unnessacery operations and procedures on his patients. He fled into the slums of NewPort and then into the sewers, welcomed by the dreg and savages down there he has set himself up a new clinic.
His staff are loyal to him, none more so than old Slyvester, an againg action movie star that has had one to many plastic surgerys and is now falling apart, held together by grafted body parts and illiegal chems supplied by the Doctor's nurses.
Despite his habits, the scavs protect and supply the Doctor fresh body parts and victims on a regular basis in return for medical care they wouldnt get anywhere else.

The collection keeps growing.Love the Guyver miniature.
Should have some new pieces to go with these for Smoggycon this year.

Great work. You beat me to Mad Moxxie! :-*

Just had a chance to peruse the whole thread. All I can say is Very nice.
Do not know if you need another nurse.

Snitchy, that is a gorgeous nurse miniature. I just know I could not do her justice.
Flip, nice civies. I see some Last Night on Earth figures in there. I've always considered picking up the Scooby Doo gang as well.
-
Thank's fella's, always liked that mini, but as A_train said, would never do it justice.
-
I like the non combatants.

I have followed this thread as a lurker for awhile. Now as a member all I can is :-* :-*. Excellent painting of the figures.Thank you for the eye candy.

The Beast of the Wastes
The floating grotesque known as The Beast was a formidable warlord during World War IV, however after being exposed to a biological weapon after the war he was left disfigured and requiring the use of his floating life support module. Despite his severe disability, his mind has remained sharp and as a result still commands respect and near god like devotion from his followers. Though the days of vast army command are now long gone, he still commands a sizeable band of warriors and fanatics to threaten most small to mid size settlements outside of NewPort City.

Wow, what a cool model. Reminds me of Baron Harkonnen in the Dune movie :)
