Mutant Chronicles WARZONE - (NEW: Dragoon Squad)

[Katsuhiko JiNNai]

 I painted a proxy miniature from a Void Militia Leader as a Semai Heretic.





I was ispired by the paint scheme of the Heretic Hayla from the "Luna City" tale:

I got box of them still bases are not original though .

[Katsuhiko JiNNai]

I used the void militia as alternative acolytes because I wanted some urban looking heretics, the original acolytes are nice but they have an uniform.

Here a really old project. If I remember well I thought about it at least 20 years ago (or even more).
Actually my idea was simple, to convert the head of the first edition cardinal dominic as the helm with mask of the main villain from the Knights of the Zodiac (Saint Seiya) cartoon: Pope Ares. I'm not good with green matter, then I have commissioned the conversion and then painted the miniature.
Here the "ArchBishop Arles" an high ranking member of the Brotherhood Curia.

For the paint scheme of the pilgrims I was ispired by the new pilgrim paint scheme from a recent RPG Brotherhood Sourcebook:

 I  Have a lot of 2nd ed figures. i prefer them. they are less bulky and more realistically proportioned. that said your paintjobs are fantastic.  I was wrorking on a conversion for warzome to the Starship troopers Rules by mongoose. they are great rules.

[Oldben1]

Your miniatures are so vibrant!  They are unbelievable!

[Katsuhiko JiNNai]

Thanks
Warzone 1st edition miniatures are not so bad, just the miniatures sculpted by Tim Prow could have bad proportions (he was a newbie at the time). In fact almost all the imperial, bauhaus and mishima are good, and the dark legion don't need to care much for it (they are monsters o zombies). Unfortunately the Brotherhood of 1st edition was almost all done by tim prow, then some miniatures are even ugly (as elite trooper sergeant, assassin, inquisitor majoris). The concept and design of the Fury Elite Guards is still good, if only they could had a smaller head/helmet
2nd edition miniatures have better proportions, but I feel that they lost some of the Mutant Chronicles charm. However I have taken the second edition brotherhood miniatures.

I was not completely satisfied about the alternative acolytes I painted. (void militia). They are nice models but smaller than I like, then they don't blend well with the other bigger WZ miniatures. Then I decided to paint some capitol miniatures as acolytes or maybe corporate heretics. I painted an undead legionnaire as heretic legionnaire too.



Here a groupshot of the updated semai force:


DARK LEGION: SEMAI (13 models), 500pt

Rikada, Nepharite of Semai w/Vassht e Jakht, dark aura, shroud, mind belt, possess (113pt)

Metropolitan Prophet (85pt)

Heretic Legionnaires squad (175pt)
6 Legionnaires w/Kratach (126pt), Mazlo, Heretic w/Voriche and Skalak, lance of pain (49pt)

Acolytes squad (127pt)
3 Acolytes cw/CAR-24 and M13 (54pt), x1 Accolyte w/Gehenna Puker (53pt),
x1 Initiate Hayla w/CAR-24 e M13 (20pt)

[Katsuhiko JiNNai]

Not satisfied about the bad end of my brotherhood force in my first game, I decided to do some changes, like including a Pilgrim Executioner. Then I painted one.





A groupshot of the updated brotherhood force:


BROTHERHOOD (9 models), 500pt

"ArchBishop Arles" w/violator, staff of casting, force shield
Art Aspects: kinetics, elemental, exorcism (99pt)

Pilgrim Executioner w/power shields, power stabilizer, Art aspect: Mentalism  (69pt)

"Crimson Furies" (Fury Elite Guard) Squad (176pt)
2 Furies w/Deliver and Punisher, Great Coordination, Long Legs, Pain Resistant (112pt)
x1 Sergeant w/Deliver and Punisher, close combat training, Great Coordination,
Long Legs, Pain Resistant (64pt)

Pilgrims Squad (156pt)
4 Pilgrims w/Converter w/grenade launcher type II (AP) and Nemesis

 Nice addition to the force.
 Could do with some more ranged guys.
 What is next and when is the re-match .

[Katsuhiko JiNNai]

Brotherhood list has few heavy weapons, however compesate with many Art Aspects that could be really useful if used well and in the right time.
Now the furies are faster, they can move 4" for action, they have 5 actions then they could charge after 20", the pilgrims have a better grenade launcher with armor piercing grenades, the maximum range is now 20" instead only the normal range of 10". The Pilgrim Executioner could be devastating in close combat, it can parry shooting too and if using the Art spell of flight he can move 10" for action, then if using 3 actions he can charge to 30". The teleportation, instead used to teleport the brotherhood models, can be used to teleport an enemy model near the brotherhood force, then any brotherhood omodel in waiting or activated by give order could fire or charge it.

I really do like those figures but was surprised at how expensive they are.
