Random Sci Fi Factions

[Cherno]

Fantastic paintjobs. Even the drab trenchcoats of the operatives look great! Good choice of miniatures too, especially "Not-Selene", it works really well.

[dijit]

As usual, stunning paintwork!

[Nedo]

Fabolous painthob on the black suits!!!

Some more non-coms.
These lot are the Heresy inspectors. They'll be the general technicians working the station, getting shot at, abducted etc.
Went for quick pjs, as I found it hard to get enthusiastic about the figs themselves.
Did a Zenital spray of light grey and then used citadel washes (the last ones to be phased out). Very lazy of me and the results testify to this but they'll serve their purpose, so onward and upward

Very nice even though they're quick paint jobs. I really like the Reaper sci-fi troopers from page 1. Never seen them before and you've done a damn fine job with the painting.

[Dr Mathias]

Very well done, that's the best I've seen those Nova Corp troops look.

[NurgleHH]

I'm also gonna need a rule set. At the moment I'm leaning towards  AE Bounty for small gang based confrontations, (although I don't know that much about it,) and maybe Tomorrows War for some lager scale head to heads.
Any ideas would be most welcome.

Maybe you can use 7TV (croocked Dice) as a skirmish system (Or the free version of DocWho from Croocked dice). For larger combats I thing a variant of Warlord/Ospreys Bolt Action is a great idea.

You have a good eye, a steady hand and good taste.
the thread is very interesting to follow

Great minis, why didn't you include Veronica Blaze with the rest of the NOVA Corps minis? She looks like she belongs to that set but comes with less armour... maybe some sort of pilot.

[Curaitis]

Great Paintjob, and a atmospheric collocation of miniatures.

[dwartist]

Great stuff! Love the Vulture Squad - I'll have to dig mine out now!

[Andrew May]

Are those reaper troops massive? was thinking of converting some to "Doom" troopers.

[eilif]

For those who like the Nova Corp figures, they're all going to be available shortly from Reaper in the much cheaper "Bones" material.
I've got about 20 on the way.  They're going to get a head swap and be painted as COBRA vipers.

Wow, I never noticed before, but you're right. She's got the same foot, shin, elbow and shoulder armor as the nova corp figures. Guess I'll have to get her too.  I'm not overly impressed with the cartoon elfish face, but with my mediocre paint jobs no one will be able to tell.

She even comes with a smaller version of the backpack module, the same visor (sans helmet, but the same design) and that equipment-holding garter-thingie...

I plan on getting myself a second one and mounting her on an old Hunter-Killer-Grav-Bike from I-Kore's Syntha range.

Got the bug to paint these up after seeing Agis's efforts.

Direct inspiration

They are a real pain in the arse to clean up, and I wish there were more poses, but all in all I'm pretty pleased with the end result.

Head swaps from hasslefree (bloke) and Statuesque (the lassie)

The Samaritan Mercenary Company. Self styled peace bringer to areas of conflict.
The company is commonly employed by  local  authorities to bring an abrupt end when either things get too out of hand for their own forces, or for reasons of public opinion, the  authorities don't want their own forces directly involved with quashing minor uprisings or commercial conflicts.

Dispite the company's paladin like self image, they have been linked to several suspected attrocities. However investigations by 'neutral' parties led to no definitive conclusions.

While not directly affiliated, the Samaritan mercenary Company maitains close links to the Corporate Union for New Technologies (C.U.N.Ts), which uses the company to field test much of it's miltary innovations, a beneficial relationship for both parties which results in the Samaritans having access to better than average tech level equipment compared to that of other similar mercenary companies operating in the sector.

Seen here is a squad of Samaritan mercs deploying from two atmosheric hoppers which were presumably on contract from a local logistics agency in this theater.
