I can't believe I've never seen this thread before there's some great minis in there Jack Hooligan. Got a tonne of inspiration for my collection. Glad to see someone using minis I got Elhiem to commision too it's great.

Based on your post in the other thread, I assumed you probably already saw this one. Thanks for checking it out though and for the kind words. I've got another faction still to do, the punx, and several of these gangs still need their foot models done. So, there's a lot of life in this project yet, I'm just currently sidetracked with BB teams at the moment. (I'm rebuilding and painting my BB collection after selling it all off about 5 years ago).

Which Elheim models did you commission? I love Elheim and have their fantasy sets as well as more for post apocalyptic gaming I haven't gotten to yet.

You'd assume I would have but I think it's because I haven't been very active on the forum for a while I've missed all this. I commissioned Dy And Mari, the new range of robots, got the near future SciFi range a bunch of new troops through the votes though I left a few for others to help get them the special figure, and I got the smart boss with katana done but that was back when Matt was just taking ideas randomly and seeing what he could do. Haven't gotten any done lately but I've got a lot more ideas I'd love to see done.

This project is far from done!

Two new vehicles just pulled into the chop shop. A seventh gang is riding to Roswell.

This is what I’m thinking so far for the punks. Nothing’s glued down at this point… proof of concept.

I was finally able to get in another Gaslands game. We had three players rolling through the a Death Race. Each player had a car and a bike each at about ~25 Cans each. It was the Highway Patrol, Cultists and Scientists racing for glory. The boys in blue and the cultists wiped each other out and the Scientists took home the spoils.

This was my second game and the first for my two opponents. It seemed to go a lot smoother than my first game last summer and now the game clicks. Everyone had a great time and are looking forward to more. All three of us are in the middle of a Blood Bowl season, but we’re hoping to find time for another game of Gaslands within the next month.

Re: Roswell '98: A North American Exclusion Zone (Xenos Rampant Update)

Thanks, Gents!

I did work on some more models for this long-running project. This project has provided the opportunity to use models for a variety of rulesets. Originally, it was designed for Gaslands and Zona Alpha. Having played Lion Rampant last summer, I became a big fan of Daniel Mersey’s rules, so with the release of his Xenos Rampant, many of my R’98 factions are going to get fleshed out a little more.



First up are the addition of the Northstar Gaslands Bootleggers. I love this 20mm line by Mark Copplestone. It’s right up there with the classic Citadel Dark Future line. Despite there not being any pedestrian rules for Gaslands, I’m thankful Nick at Northstar had this line sculpted and produced. The best 20mm models on the current market, IMO.



Xenos Rampant uses models in sets of 5, so 5, 10, or 15. With the five Gaslands models above, I this put me at 12. Having boxes of those soft plastic Dark Alliance models about, I went into the Survivors and Redneck boxes to find three more to take my total to 15. These models are very soft with bendy plastic and a decent amount of flash. Not my favorites, but affordable and I’m thankful they exist because they can really flesh out units at this scale.



Here’s the whole group. 15 on foot and 3 vehicles. The others here I’ve showcased in the past. This could be a complete Xenos Rampant detachment (XR term for warband/army) itself, but what I was thinking I’d do is use these models anytime a Recon Infantry unit was drafted into a detachment. Recon Infantry Veterans might be more like it. I’m envisioning the bulk of their detachment being highway patrol models with a 5 squad unit or two of these Recon Infantry Veterans and maybe a unit of Scientists as Support Infantry.

Either way, with the 2023 theme of completing projects, this completes all my ex-military/redneck models at 20mm. It’s a pretty standard group of post-apoc/survivor models that will find use in any number of games.
