To make matters worse, she has displaced me in terms of my wife's affections, I am now a lowly third in the pecking order.
Be thankful. It could be worse. You could have pets and be even further down the order.
We have three cats now. I am told i am at the top of the list. But each day she gets out of bed at 5ishAM to feed those furballs.
I haven't seen a made breakfast in, hell i dont know when.

But look at it this way. Your still painting and doing a superb job at it.
The troops are looking good. Lots of color and character. Looking forward to more.

Superb painting! Not that I'd expect anything less from you, but still. ;)

I agree about Edgar's Punks; they are great but limited in number and seem hard to come by now.

If you fancy a few more to add to the group, the Scuts and Wasteland Warriors from the Dark Age Apocalypse game (Outcasts faction) are a really good match in terms of scale and detail. A little bit more "Post-Apoc" perhaps, but I'm not the only one who mixes the two! :P

Converted and painted up a SAW for the vulture squad.

Not a very pleasant looking individual to be sure, but here he is...

Such a great project. I like the variety of minis as well as, despite the fact, that there are so many color schemas, that everything feels like it belongs together. Great job! :-*

It's from Maxmini: http://maxmini.eu/conversion-bits/head-swaps/generic-male-heads-bits
They're quite nice comic book type heads, and the casts were good, but be warned; they're on the big side and will look dumb on stuff like hasslefree. The reaper nava corps figs are pretty big so you can get away with it.
The pics on the site are a bit shite, the pics they used to have of the bare resin were better.

I have some of those troopers in the Bones material. Just contemplating cutting them away from their bases!

That conversion with the gun is nicely done, must have been quite a fiddle too - remove all of the old gun, leave the hands and replace with a new one.

The one I used was metal, which I think would work better as you can file bits back to get a good fit with the rifle.
To be honest it wasn't so bad once I got started, but I was a tad daunted before hand.

Anyone know if Old Glory/Blue moon maunufactuing have a distributer in Europe or the UK'

I'm hankering after some of these fellas:

Woa. Haven't seen those before. They look really good - I might have a hankering for them now as well.

theres http://www.oldgloryuk.com/old_glory_miniatures.php but their selection is a bit limited. If you find some one who carries them, please do post.

As well as your lovely paint jobs the consistency of your basing has to be given props to too. Simple but really effective, complimentary rather than detracting.

Old Glory UK sells all of those on request. I got a bunch of Blue Moon and Superfigs some time ago. Write them what you want,  they send you the price and a date for their next US order, pay for it and in a month or so they arrive at home.
If you don't believe in lead, you're already dead.
