Thanks Gentlemen!  I'm loving the minis, and have 80-90 based and primed! 

I've put together the follwoing factions that have 8-15 members each, but most average 10.

The Home Gang (My Gang)
The Gully Gang (Former town scum, now wasteland scum)
The Palumbo Gang (A group from a little west of our territory.  There is an uneasy truce and cooperation between the Palumbo Gang and the Home Gang, the leaders knowing each other from before the Fall.)
The HaztMat Team (A team of yellowsuited people from Camp Downton Laboratory, a Department of Energy lab often call  the American Cern)
The Police (This is nothing more than the remenenats of the former Island Police and are now just another competing gang, just in many cases better armed)
The Military (They come in by Blackhawk, and they leave by Blackhawk.  They seem to be the least effected group, but have yet to make contact with any other group)
The Main Force Patrol (The remnants of the Island Highway Police, again, another competing gang with better access to kit)
The National Guard (Soldiers from the nearby National Guard Base have formed up and claimed an area of territory)
Foreign Troops (There is a contingent of foreign troops also moving in and out of the area, but as with the Military, no other group seems to have made contact with them)

This represents the regional players I have prepared for the area.  I have a city board getting finished, the rural board is done, borrowed from other games, and I plan to use Dwarven Forge product to make the cold war/post-9/11 bunkers that most groups have acquired

I'll have some more groups as well, just for variety and random encounters.

Thanks for all the support Mates!

Nice additions! Makes me wish I hadn't sold all mine a few years back!

Very cool! Conversion? If so, where's the main body from?

Cheers Mate!

The body is from Aberrant
http://store.aberrantgames.com/abgwl021.html

And the head is a DF mini, the ponytail guy in a suit.

The Aberrant mini is not so hot.  the head was just awful, and the body is quite...flat.  So if you look at him sideways, he's rather slim.  But I reposed as much as I could, and then added the better head.

Overall, I'm happy with the finished product, but I do need to do some touchups....

I think he's great and better for the new head. I recognised the head from the pony-tailed suit guy - he was my favourite sanctioned op back in the day. Shame I traded all my DF miniatures for Citadel Traveller 15s a few years before RAFM rereleased them. >:(

Great collection by the way! :D

Thanks!  I really like them myself.  IMHO they are among the very best lines ever produced by Citadel.  Every mini has character, is very well sculpted and there is a great variety.  I've been eager to get a good basing solution for them and a game to play.  Although its hard to see, the bases are quite sculpted with a street and sidewalk motif. I purposely kept is dark, and dusty with pigments.

Once I get 8 minis for each team i'm going to try and play this at my club.  looking forward to posting AAR's!

Your basing is excellent, particularly for 20mm miniatures. Look forward to seeing some AARs!

If I had to choose, and there are some great mini lines, the DF minis are among my most favorite.  I feel lucky as an expat that I have access to the multitude that seem to be in the UK and are occasionally put up for sale without paying a fortune to ship overseas!
