Scavenger Army (pic heavy) and now ZOMBIES!!
« on: June 21, 2009, 05:32:01 AM »
Dear friends,

I have finished phase one of my new Sci-Fi project. The project will follow the lines of a 'World War Z' type-scenerio.....only in addition to fighting Zombies, Scavengers will be fighting Govt. troops and the occasional beastie or two. Maybe I'll give the Scavengers some mobile steam artillery? Anyways.....all the figures are from Copplestone's 'Future Wars' range, with the exception of one figure from EM4, which I do belive Mr. Copplestone sculpted. The personal carriers are from Alpha Forge mini's. Stay posted for the Zombies (lots of them on big bases), coming up in a few weeks. Enjoy and be inspired!!!!

As well, here are a few pics of some of the buildings I will be using. The multi color frame building is made by JR Miniatures. The brown wooden structures are all O scale train buildings. I belive they're produced by Bachmann, under the tilte 'Hobo Jungle.'

Very impressive terrain, figures and vehicles. I love those little half-tracks. I also like how you've used the hair and headgear to add some colour to the earthy tones of their clothing.

Those railway buildings are terrific, but I would imagine they are quite expensive.

Please feel free to post more pics  :D

Great stuff  :o

You could add em4's scavengers and savages to your group, as they are Copplestones earlier works and should fit in quite well, as well as a truck or two from Ramshackle (Only seen a few close ups of thier trucks so not sure how well they would fit in)

Keep up the great work  ;)

Very impressive work! I have the em4 savages TheMightyFlip mentioned and they do fit in just fine with the newer Copplestone figs. I just finished painting the em4 bikers, which would also be a pretty good choice for this setting, given that they're scruffy and heavily armed. One of the bikers has a FLAMETHROWER for goodness sake. One wonders where he happened to pick that little item up...

Looks very nice!

It's also good to see the hobo jungle buildings in more detail. they were already on the to buy list for ages, but now will be bought even sooner.
Why aim for gold if you can get lead?

This set of three buildings is only £12.30 from www.darkhousegames.co.uk along with many other 1950's style buildings perfect for Post Apocalyptic games
