Future wars classics - EM4 Scavengers

[Malamute]

Lovely brushwork on excellent figures. Amongst Copplestones finest work I think. Given the sculpts must be 20 years old they still hold up against some of todays figures

Well they have character - a contrary to most of placcy crap nowdays.
I also hope the judges will appreciate these oldschool souls during the coming contest...

Demi, could you write a few words how you painted the ground/bases? Thanks!

[demi_morgana]

No problem, it's actually as simple as possible:
1. layer of sand
2. diluted wash on whole sand area: I use vallejo burnt umber (that's the name iirc, delicate brown wash similar to devlan mud) but diluted smoke or brown will also do the trick, add some olive if you want base look bit more "fresh"
3. when dry (and I mean it - when it's totally dry) - aged bone drybrush (or any middle bone color)
4. delicate white drybrush
5. as option - you can sprinkle some chalk / pigment to make base look kinda dusty
6. matt varnish

Voila

Saw this on Frothers, and still loving it!


Beautiful painting and presentation.

It's amazing to me how well those figures hold up, even by today's standards.  Just wonderful stuff.

Excellent work!  I have those same figs, but they aren't painted nearly as well. 

I've seen them painted so many different times, but they always bring a smile to my face.

Thanks again

I was asked for some close ups so here's the best I could get after night photo session:







Stay tuned - shortly Copplestone's savages (Goliaths in our Necromunda that is) will appear on the bloggy

Hopefully with GW reviving specialist games, Necromunda will get some love and new minis.

Great!
They look just as good close up.

@KGatch113: with Copplestone's stuff I don't really care about potential new releases from GW
Although new genestealers are more than cool I am planning to assemble ANOTHER gang based on those and oldie models.

Really great! Copplestone's Fture Warriors were among the best sculpts during their time, and they still look great - especially with such great painting!
