Your free-hand skill on the tattoos and t-shirts is amazing!

Thanks! I’ve been pushing myself more with freehands – it doesn’t always work out, but I keep at it. 💪

Those biker chicks look good.  In a biker chick kind of way... ;)

The Biker Boss

The last bike for my gang.
He’s got a machine gun in a scabbard mounted on the frame, she’s holding a Carl Gustav, and there’s a built-in minigun on the bike itself. Rear storage packs are loaded with ammo for both. They’re also carrying sidearms and knives.

Maybe a bit over-the-top for a modern setting, but it should fit right in with anything post-apocalyptic or cinematic.

That looks cool. I wonder how hard that bike is to control when the mini-gun is firing?  A driver check when its firing might well be in order... :o

Thanks!
Yeah, their weapon loadout is pretty ridiculous… Not sure he could actually fire that minigun while driving - I mean, maybe he could squeeze the trigger, but I doubt it’d be anything close to accurate.

 lol, agreed but would it need to be accurate :o

Fantastic mini painting by the way  :-*

Accuracy was never going to be very high in the first place, the dude is wearing an eye-patch! Under the circumstances, a minigun is probably the best choice - line up on the target area, then sweep across it… if anything is in the beaten zone, it isn’t happy.

Great job. How is the game? I have too many zombie games already, and passed on P when I saw "yet another dice game".

Good point :)

Thank you! I haven’t played it yet. I picked up most of the minis during various sales on Warlord’s website, and only got the core box a few months ago. Most of the models are assembled now, so I’ll probably get a game in soon-ish.

Carl-Gustav! One of our big Swedish products(alongside IKEA and Volvo)  lol.

As others have mentioned it, I recommend stopping and dismounting before using any of the minigun/ C-G.

Your painting is excellent though, great attention to detail  :-*.

I've heard those bikers were a pain in the... to assemble but seems worth the effort.

Regarding the game, I've heard the rules were a bit lacklustre and the support was very poor. I therefore bought The Compound off a member at the club cheaply  ;).

Regards,

Legionnaire.

Thanks a lot! Carl Gustav is actually one of my favorite weapons.
Unfortunately, it’s not popular enough to appear often in modern wargaming ranges, so I was excited to finally put one on a model.

As for the bikes, I didn’t find them particularly hard to assemble. The tricky part came later: once the rider and passenger were glued on, it became tough to reach certain spots while painting.

I haven’t had any experience with the game itself yet, and honestly haven’t heard much about it. So far, I’ve only used the Spec Ops minis in other systems.
