Maceface's Crimewave Range (20mm) WIP

[Earther]

Has two weeks passed yet? Inquiring minds need to know! 😂

Bumpety bump 

[Rick]

I'm really eager to see what Maceface has come up with as well. All will be revealed in time, I'm sure.

[Maceface]

Haha I appreciate how keen you guys are!

I had to manage a few different projects in the last month, but have made some.progress ;-) let's see if I can get some test casts done this week...

[Commander Roj]

Underworld style or Blade (films) style?
Could be interesting, although they don't have to be obviously vampires - could do double-duty as hard-a$$ ronin or tooled up street mercs?
The Yakuza types could be really cool but other ranges tend to go for either suits-and-ties or low-level bare torso types - how about some inspired by Akira, Ghost in the Shell or other anime, not to mention the 2000AD Shimura and Hondo City stories? Biker jackets (with rolled-up sleeves of course), shades, leather gloves, etc. could be another way of looking at them.

I'm not one to be prescriptive. I'd be happy with anything along these lines.

[Mr. White]

*Bump* looking forward to seeing more from this line!

[GPM]

Just another bump for interest.

[Pictors Studio]

I like those.  I'd like to see soldiers for one. 

[Harry von Fleischmann]

I’d very much like to an armed criminal element that resembles the Crowder crew in “Justified”; not the caricature moonshiners from Gaslands. Leather or denim jackets, mini-rugers, rifles w scopes. That sort of stuff….

Any updates?

We need to know more...

I missed the reference to watercraft earlier. That is the best thing yet! I'm completely enamoured of this project!

Apologies for the biggest tease in wargaming...
Life happened, as it does! I'm just sorting out the Hornblower Range coming up to the 1 year (September), buuuuut I've made a start on many packs of Crimewave.

I've got a few different angles that ideally would all be part of a Dystopian setting, but may be broken into sub ideas:

- Cyberpunk
- Road Warriors
- Waterworld
- Zone Alfa
- Gritty Sci-Fi (aliens, space workers)

Will see how I get on after Hornblower year 1 Wraps up.

Great, gives me time to hunt out my old JD floorplans.

I’m very late to this thread but would be very interested as I have some Dark Future chaps and bikes but would love to add more and be able to play some more alien or cyberpunk stuff with them as well. Would also love to see some armed cultists too. Looking forward to these.

I think that part of the initial idea was that the range would fit in with the older DF figures as well as the newer Copplestone Gaslands range, whilst giving more scope to 20mm skirmish games.

I think I may still have a couple of those old robed and hooded DF cultists in a bag somewhere, have to see if I can find them.

I did have a decent amount of dark future once but they were lost in the “generous mum gives away my stuff I’d stored, for future, somewhere I thought safe” period of my hobby - lost a lot of cool things. I really like the robed chaps from Dark Future - they were maybe even the start of my interest in smaller (than 25mm) scales.
