Scrunt Clean Up Crew...
« on: 12 February 2009, 10:24:45 AM »
Just finished these off, Bob said he wanted a military look to them, and didn't want the usual orange, yellow, or white anti hazard looking gear.
I'm pleased with how they turned out, and should fit in nicely with the other stuff I've done.

Those are outstanding, matey!  :)

I don't know how, but you've managed to paint quite a doleful expression onto the eyepieces. They look like they drew the short straw in the Arcturus Zoo Mega-elephant cleanup stakes.

(Actually, do they remind anyone else of the David Lynch version of Dune? I'm sure there was a few dwarves in rubber overalls doing cleanup around the Haarkonnen homeworld.)

NIce!

Mine are going to be in white hazmats with grey masks.

I think'll use inspiration from your work here!

Even though they aren't for yourself and perhaps won't see time on table, it nice to see fellows working on scrunts!

I have bags and bags of my own scrunts too, and struggle to find time to do them, as I do all of Bob's, lol.
Keep picking odd ones off here and there, and TBH it's nice to paint them a different way for someone else, lets me try schemes I wouldn't normally go for.

Scrunts in all forms are ace!!!

Thanks Folks.

Stunning painting.
I have like all off the Scrunts done by you so far.
What game/rules are these figures for? Or are they just general Sci Fi figures?
I have an old squat (GW, guild bikers and all) army in the Attic, how do these figure match up.

They match up almost perfectly, Bob scuplted a lot of the early Squats for GW, and these are in the same vein.
As yet there are no offical Scrunts rules, but if you have the old Squat 40k rules I'm sure they'd fit nicely.

I honestly can't say what those "creatures" are, but the painting is very impressive. Great detail. Thanks for sharing.
Victory is guaranteed to the last man standing, but always remember those whom you stepped on to get there!!

They can be bought here, direct from the sculpter site;
Olleys Armies Store

Hitman, they are Space Dwarves in hazmat suits, cleaning up the hazardous waste that the mutants leave behind when they get killed, and it's their job to dispose of it safely so it can't infect other Scrunts (space dwarves).
Dirty job, but they do it soooooo well.

Well up to your usual standard!

I love the shovel full of giblets  lol

A few weeks ago I'd never heard of Scrunts, now it seems the little buggers are everywhere and they are all wonderful figures. Curse bob Olley - I must get some.
