Nice work

Looks good

Love the colors you chose. Very classic Sci-Fi magazine cover, which is always a good look.

These are all great. Do you intend to use Pulp Alley as is or are there any mods?

From reading the rules through I think they'd would work great as they are. The abilities assigned to models may just need a thematic name change "eagle-eyed" = "targeter" or "rugged" = "powerarmour" etc. It's pretty good fun working things like that out.

Can't wait to give it a whirl.

If you have the Perilous Island expansion for Pulp Alley, another really good ability for power armor is "Big".



HAVE FUN

[blackstone]

Yes have the expansion. "Big" would work great

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

Orks, sporks...

This is what I clicked on the thread to see.  So that is what they look like when painted up...  Niiice!

Is the rougher appearance of the visor intentional, an anomaly of the lighting, or just something you only see when the camera is showing the figure zoomed in and not visible to the naked eye?

Gracias,

The visor has been drybrushed with metallics which probably shows up any irregularities in the photo. To the eye it looks fine. Once the figure is finished and matt varnished I'll give the visor a gloss coat. Hopefully a decent visor effect. Very nice mini really. The other figure in the pack has more ornate armour which will be interesting to paint.

Next up is a converted Ork warlord and a space hobbit sniper!

cheers

Thanks, I will keep that in mind when I paint visors (then photograph them) in the future.

When I started this project I had a solitary ork raider. Looking through the lead pile I discovered a bandy legged old WHFB orc which had "potential". Some snipping and putty work later my Ork pirate warlord.  Got himself a wicked powerfist/flamer combo!!



Putting the horns of the helmet was pure Xaxus



Did a bit more work on the powerarmour. Finished now I think



Next up a cool little hobbit sniper!

cheers

Bloody fantastic!

Beautiful work!

Not much progress with the painting but lots of prepping of minis going on. I've been painting these figs in batches of seven and all I need to do is finish a hobbit sniper and the first 7 are done. Next lot of based, primed and ready to go. Should make some progress this weekend.

I have alot of RT space marines in the pipeline but won't be sticking to any single "chapter" colour. I want the marines in my game to be like ronin and their armour colours are down to personal taste with family colours/heraldry displayed on the right shoulder pad. Little bit of putty work on these pads to give an idea of what I'm aiming for.

Really neat idea. I'm looking forward to seeing the variety in the finished marines.  I have a warm place in my heart for old beakies.  Thanks for sharing.
