AE Bounty Crew
« on: November 24, 2010, 07:56:52 AM »
There will be lots of AE:Bounty action at Horisont this weekend, so I decided to make my own crew from scratch. I used all kinds of old models and bits and pieces from my bitz-box:



I initially went with this:


Since I don't even have the AE:Bounty ruleset, a friend looked it over and gave advice.

So in the end I ended up with "The Muttley Crew":


I'm really looking forward to playing my first game of AE:Bounty. :)

Thx.  :)

Bits also includes Mordheim wardog head on a Night Goblin body, an Orc plastic archer with the wolf head from a goblin wolfrider and various other stuff.

Hmm. Maybe this topic should be placed in Future Wars. Oh well.

Wow, they look really good!

I confess that I wasn''t very convinced when I saw the first two pix, but in that third pic you've pulled them into a really cool crew with a decent paintjob.

Well done sir!  :D

I really like that you took exsiting stuff that looked like nothing more than scraps in a junk box, and made a crew for AE Bounty from it.
That's the beauty of the game too, you don't have to use their models, and some of the very best still will come from someone's left over bitz boxes.

Nice work man!

It was actually quite fun to make something out of... well... nothing basicly.

I just found out you can have robots in AE:Bounty too, so I guess I just might have to make one of my own.

Really nice paintwork there; great stuff. The converted Fimir may be my favourite.

Though I've heard of Darkson Designs, AE Bounty has completely passed me by. They've got some nice minis haven't they? Anyhoo...

Great to see some bits-box creations that look absolutely stunning - I look forward to hearing the tales of the Muttley Crew as they rampage round sacking cities, capturing ships and peeing up against lamp-posts!

That's exactly what I was thinking. The paint job really makes those figures shine. I love the strong cartoonish highlights. You've really done your bits box proud.

I just picked up AE bounty as well, and you've inspired me to paint something up for it from my stash. I'll post pictures when I'm done.

Great stuff, Jaeger!
Got me inspired to waddle through the clubs bitz boxes (we got around 10 kilos worth of stuff) :)
