Pulp Alley Sci-fi : Big hair marine p.3

[blackstone]

This year I'm hoping to get in some sci-fi skirmish games using the pulp alley rules. Got a big pile of lead building up so have begun working my way through the figs!  First to be finished are a couple of rogue trader Orks!

Lovely.

I have recently been using my RT era figures in a number of different rule sets and Pulp Alley is on my list. Im interested in seeing how it works out.

And seeing some more beautifully painted old stuff

[Wachaza]

Considering how old those minis are and how little variation there is in the poses they're still great figures. Obviously a paint job like that helps enormously. Great.

Brilliant job. I love seeing these old school orks getting the love they deserve. The Teal helmet is especially nice. More please!

[warburton]

Brilliant! I have about 20 or so of these I have just based up and are ready for priming.

I really like the skin tone you have achieved. I will be going for the same bright saturated green myself; old school Mike McVey Eavy Metal style!

[blackstone]

Yeah I went for that really bright green skin colour from the old RT pics! Have about 10 more raiders and 4 characters which should be well enough for an Ork league in PA.

lovely painting on them. really do love the RT era models, less cluttered than todays tat they sell.

[OSHIROmodels]

They look great 

The bases are a bit different. Are they going to stay or are they just for painting the figures on?

cheers

Thanks for the comments! Will be leaving them on those 2mm mdf bases. My current basing policy is to put minis on the smallest possible square base so most figures are ending up on 15 or 20mm squares. I'll be gluing sand and cat litter to the bases (left unpainted) to finish them off.

Couple more figures here. Had these knocking around for probably 20+ years... finally got round to painting them! In my game the Jerry Cornelius figure will be a pretty notorious villian Julian Starflower. The Gronk is a just great looking critter!

[Wolf Girl]

Beautiful work! 

[Vanvlak]

Brilliant - love the orks in particular 

[Prof.Witchheimer]

Great choice of figures, blackstone, and lovely paintwork too. Looking forward to see more on that thread.

[Michka]

Really love the orks. I'm so jealous over your Jerry Cornelius and Gronk figures. Such great miniatures, and you've done them proud. 

I quit commenting on people's basing choices when I realized how often I've changed my base preference. I have some WEG Star Wars Stormtroopers that are standing on their fourth or fifth base right now.     

[stone-cold-lead]

Lovely clean paint jobs.

Thanks for the comments. Here's a Power armour type figure from Black hat. Nice figure to paint!
