Warzone and Mutant Chronicles by Manu Miniatures

Wow!

[zrunelord]

Superb work all round.
My favourite warzone early minis sculptor is Werner Klocke
( the one who did Golgotha) and Paul Bonner as an artist which you do justice to.

Tha latter minis were very nice also with slimmer non exagerated pysiques.

Btw have you painted the Venusian Marshal?
Thanks for sharing

I didn't do much on Venusian Marshal, he is very low on my to-do list right now. He took a bath some time ago and thats it.

Pimping random Venusian Ranger fares a little better, he is now in conversion process. I need to figure out how to make pommel of the sword, sculpt somewhat natural looking hand and cover all of it with extended cloak.

My painting priorities are now with completly different minis (mostly Kingdom Death: Monster), on the Warzone side plan look like this:

1. I have a bunch of minis from Cybertronic, Dark Legion  and one very old Imperial Trencher sculpt. I'll try to show some WIP pics soon, but I'll post more of them after the new year.

2. Pimping V-Ranger



3. Sea Lions - I made bases for two squads of 6, plus 3 more bases for individuals. I want to paint skin on at least half of them before taking pics.



4. For now V-Marshal hold this place, but it might change.

Early WIP's: Cuirassier Attila and dr. Diana

I hadn't heard of Dr  Diana, but glad I did. A list of repurposing is growing in my fevered imagination.

Sorry, I did go through the thread, but may have missed. Do have/have you painted an ezoghoul?

Weirdly, in the day, I had some repurposing ideas there as well.

Dr. Diana is pretty cool mini. She look like a women, this is not always the case with old sculpts. Perfect for a role of technician/ scientist. I think that mini is available on princeaugust.ie

Similarly to V-Marshal, I have a  1 ed. Ezoghoul in my collection - unpainted and unassembled.

New batch of Warzone minis is in the making for some time and here is the first finished one:

Imperial Trencher Sergeant
Pre-Warzone mini from 1994, probably sculpted for Fury of the Clansmen boardgame.

Sculptor: ? it might be Kev Adams
Art: Paul Bonner





The only appearence of the mini in official Warzone material - Chronicles 6/1997 magazine:

Excellent work!

I am going to copy your blue and white scheme for Doctor Diana. I painted mine in an all white uniform and it turned out looking bland.

Ridiculouly good, you talented bar steward.

I remember the Blood Beret game coming out some time before Mutant Chronicles (I think) but I don't remember a Clansman game. The symbol on the shoulder pad suddenly made me think of it - I used to have some of the plastic figures.

Thanks for the comments

Before Warzone there were three boardgames set in Mutant Chronicles setting:

The Siege of the Citadel

Blood Berets
https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/4979/blood-berets


Fury of the Clansmen
https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/1760/fury-of-the-clansmen


FotC is definitely the rarest.

The symbol on the shoulder pad is the logo of Imperial Megacorporation combined with military rank.

Forces included in both FotC and BB are Imperial vs Dark Legion, hence similar iconography.

[...]I am going to copy your blue and white scheme for Doctor Diana.[...]

If you like it, please do so. Just want to point out that it was early WIP. Blue clothes will be little lighter, and what is white will be very dark blue.

I started a thread about large vehicles from Warzone 1ed. I am looking for the rules. The chances of finding them are very slim, but who knows.
