Outland: A Sci-Fi Project: The Baronial Rangers.. (08/11)

[Mason]

He's a big lad!
Looks great 

Very nice Paul - love all your stuff

Thanks, chaps.
 

Is this a commercial range or just your own hobby?

Both, really.
It is a commercial range where I get to make what I want to fit my own theme/world.
This thread incorporates  both figures from that range and my own conversions of other figures along with vehicles and scenery that I have built for it.

The commercial range can be found here: http://www.blindbeggarminiatures.co.uk/shop

Spent a while this afternoon messing around with a WW1 German A7V, hoping to turn it into a passable 'Sandship' for the Dune Tribes....



All kinds of bits of resin, plastic and card went on to it trying to achieve the look I am aiming for.
It will look much more cohesive once primed, but the weather today has been very uncooperative...

[Blackwolf]

Smashing!

Paul, in the moment it looks a little bit like "Barbie in Space on Ectasy". Maybe you paint it fast and helps me to get this out of my mind  But the start is promising.

Only you...

It will be a couple of days before I may get the chance to do anything with it....but now you have said that I may have to leave it a while longer.

Really interesting construct, absolutely getting a sand crawler vibe from that block silhouette. Can't wait to see it progress.

Well, it will certainly be a fair bit smaller than a Sandcrawler but that is the vibe I am looking for.
One bonus of being smaller is it is certainly more practical for gaming.
 

Here is a picture of the other side (which seemed to disappear when I was uploading the original post...) just for those with 'Barbie Fantasies'.

Hang on, are the pink things hair rollers?!?!

[Mason]

Hang on, are the pink things hair rollers?!?!

Yep!

They are very useful, especially when you cut them up.
They make great ladders, cages etc.
I have used them on buildings too.
They need a good primer, though, be warned.

You can see the 'Barbie Pink' bits clearly on the Taurox conversions here:




And once primed....

[Suber]

I like the whole structure and the vibe it instils. Pretty cool and interesting work!

Thanks, Suber!
I hope to get some paint on the Sandship over the weekend, along with finishing off the basing on the Taurox conversions.

Speaking of Taurox conversions....

Seeing as how they were made as APC's for the Baronial Guard, and the Baronial Guard are the garrison troops of the Barony on Outland, then I guess they should be put in thread too.

So here goes, beginning with said APC's once they have been coloured-in....

















And with some of the Baronial Guard that they will be ferrying about....




The Baronial Guard.
The garrison troops of the Barony, these chaps serve in static facilities, operating as Soldiers, Customs Officials and also as a Police Force in all populated areas of the Barony, seeing to it that the Baron's Law is being enforced.


























And a group shot of the Baronial Guard with their 'Egg Walkers'* ...






*More on them later.

Nice job on those minis Paul 

[majorsmith]

Excellent! Those Taurox look smashing

[Mason]

Nice job on those minis Paul 

Cheers, mate.
A good thing that I really enjoy painting that particular scheme as I want to add a few more troops to the Guard contingent at some point.
 

Excellent! Those Taurox look smashing

Thanks, mate.
I am very happy with them.
 


Some heavy firepower back up comes in the form of 'Cyclops' Walkers (or 'Eggs' as they are more commonly known amongst the populace).




They are slightly converted, OOP metal Warzone Orca Battlesuits.
I had them for ages, originally with the intent of using them for VSF, but that urge died some time ago, and am really glad that I kept hold of them as they fit the 'look' perfectly.

The really handy platforms at the rear will allow me to build various different 'loads' for them in future, as well as allow them to carry a couple of passengers as is...





And with a Baronial Guard Technician for scale...




A couple of close ups....

Great stuff
