Space Pirates!

[Ironworker]

I had to take a very short break from pulp projects to avoid burnout so I decided to work on a few of my space pirates for a couple days.  



I have a wip posted on my blog.

Cool, can't wait to see them painted.

I like what you have done with the bases, looking forward to seeing them painted.

Cripes, man... When do you sleep?!

Cripes, man... When do you sleep?!

Sleep is for the weak!  I'll sleep when I'm dead and as anyone with a lead mountain knows I'll die the day I get them all painted.  :mrgreen:

So I had the day off today and thought I might be able to grind through and finish these guys but it turned out to be one of those cursed days off. I updated my blog with what I did manage to get finished.  :cry:

Nice figures. Are they the (former?) i-Kore / Urban Mammoth range?

[Ironworker]

Yes they are but I think they are still in production under the Urban War banner.

[Ironworker]

Well they are comming along.



more detail wip info can be found in my blog.

I'ts always amazing how a common colour works as uniform. The red really makes them look less like street punks. Great painting *thumpsup*

Almost done with these guys!  Just a few details remain and their bases.  
Check my blog for my info.

Hoorah! Sigue Sigue Sputnik have reformed! Or is it Adam and the Ants? They look hideous!

I mean that purely from a fashion standpoint, the figures themselves are great. I really like them. But if I met them in real life I would laugh in their silly glam rock faces.  

The unified colour scheme really makes them stand out. My first thought if I was painting pirates would be to make them all look different, all rag-tag and individualistic. But the team colours thing really works. Nice one.

Lol at the glam rock.  That's kinda what I was going for. ::  

I considered making them more rag tag but then I thought gang colors instead.  Also these guys in particular represent the newer recruits of the crew.  The more hardened veterans will look a bit meaner.  

These are part of a No Limits army I'm writing the rules for so I'm using figures from a lot of different lines.  I'm working on various units based on the kind of groups the might exist in a pirate crew.  

The Duct Rats are low level new recruits so I'm using these old Void militia.  

The Space Dogs are regular crew so I'll probably use figres from the different Necromunda gangs since they look a little meaner.

The Death Monkeys are like berserkers so I'm probably going to use mostly figs from Dark Age with two hand to hand weapons.  That game has lots of those and they look pretty crazy.  

I've also got a power armored unit in mind that are suppose to be the first ones through a breach but I've not got a name for them.  They will be a unique unit since I don't think pirates should have a whole lot of power armor.  

I figured the army would be based around light vehicles both skimmers and wheeled vehicals so it will be a cross between Mad Max and Jaba's gang.

Nice job Nathan. What line are the figures from?

They are militia troops from Urban Mammoth.
