Title: Some GW nostalgia
Post by: Thib-0 on July 13, 2012, 04:08:01 PM

After watching the MadMax trilogy for the x-th time, I became a bit nostalgic and painted some GenTech corporation cars for the Dark Future game (a time when GW made games for the sake of gaming). So, here's the result: 2 high-tech interceptors loaded with weapons for about 350.000$.

I plan to make an outlaw gang soon...  :)

Damn, they look great! I didn't care much for the interceptor models but that paint job is spiffing!   :-*

Great stuff. It's a shame that the Perrys don't move into different scales as they always excelled with these. Wasn't there a short lived medieval 15mm foundry range?

They are awesome - well done!

On my DF models I tried magnetizing the weapons - it makes it nice and easy for switching loadouts, especially as the weapons are hard to come by.

I had been a GW fan since around the mid-2nd Generation 40K days --- how old is this stuff?  Like GW Judge Dredd/Rogue Trader old?

Dark Future was around '87 I think.  I remember buying a set when I was a teenager.

Great outlaws and those biker models are pretty good too. I've never really seen them with a proper paint job. Thanks for the link with the bigger pics, makes looking at them much easier 8)

As Joroas said. The idea was that you could convert diecast models into the game. So there's still plenty going on for DF  ;)
