Cheetors SF Non-Coms: Keymaster-Realmgates-Gatekeeper 09/09/15

Great yellows - those guys are spot on. I really like the Spacelord models - they'd fit right into Mega City One. The terrain also looks fantastic. I hadn't seen it before, but it's excellent. The set up in the last photo is hilarious - the worker peeking up out of a manhole cover, with a zombie (I think...) doing the same from a nearby manhole cover, and then over to the right, what look to me like a LOT of tentacles coming out of yet another manhole cover. Wonderful.

Top notch work as always sir. Love your minis.

[Vanvlak]

Brilliant! Non-combatants are always more interesting, although those robots are what the Day of the Robots wrecker crew should look like.

Thank you for the encouraging comments everyone

Really like those, first rate scenery!

I will start a thread purely about the scenery at a later date robh, when I get a chance to take some more photos.

Your ability to knock out such wonderfully original figures, with great brushwork to match, always impresses me.
I always look forward to your posts.

Very flattering Mason, thank you.

A large number of hobbyists seem to resist mixing models from different ranges for reasons that I dont really understand.  Many stylistic and proportionate differences across ranges disappear when the miniatures are on the table.  I dont set out to mix models in projects deliberately, but it tends to just organically happen.  I get a kick out of tying them together with paint anyway

Just remembered, Brigade Models do a 15mm Not-WallE

An excellent suggestion Gunbird, all the more so because I have one of those miniatures that I bought at Salute in 2011 to hand  It hadnt occurred to me to add him here, even though its obvious in retrospect.  Thanks for the idea.  Watch this space...

Do they sometimes break more things than construct? Are they just bystanders or is there any special rules for them... the big bots do look able of giving back some hurt

The figures will be used in a variety of rules systems as opportunities come up, so they dont have specific rules attached to the models as such.  Currently the game that I enjoy playing the most is Pulp Alley.  When these models feature in games of that they will function as Plot Points, challenges that have to be overcome buy the protagonists in order to progress the game/story.

Lower standard painting he says...  
These are just gorgeous.
 

Thanks zizi666.  There are a lot of corners cut though and the "polish" on them is a bit lower than most of my figures.  Its a all smoke and mirrors, honestly

I really like the Spacelord models - they'd fit right into Mega City One.

Definitely.  

The terrain also looks fantastic. I hadn't seen it before, but it's excellent.

Thanks.  As I mentioned above, I will get a proper thread together on the new terrain at a later date, when I clear sufficient  other projects out of the way to get some time to take some photos.

Non-combatants are always more interesting

They certainly make a nice change from painting more guys with guns

although those robots are what the Day of the Robots wrecker crew should look like.  

I hadnt thought about the Wreckers.  The big bots are perfect for that

[Earther]

Bravo sir, bravo!

[Major_Gilbear]

Wow, they look fantastic! I especially like the glowing eye on the big robots - very Cylon! 

[Centaur_Seducer]

Like I posted on the oldhammer-thread:
Bloody amazing colours!

[cheetor]

Gunbird made an excellent suggestion for an addition to this project last week, made all the more convenient because I already owned the model.  A similar suggestion for another pop-culture addition was made elsewhere and again I already owned that model too: perfect.  While digging those models out I found two more models suitable for inclusion and so I processed four more models for the Construction/Demolition crew.  

Three of the four models are pop-culture references.

I keep remembering more miniatures that are suitable for adding to this project, so expect a few more of construction/demolition types over the next while, if I can keep enthusiasm up.

[Mason]

Blimey., you knocked those up quickly!
 

Brilliant additions, they certainly fit in.
Lovely paintwork too.
 

[commissarmoody]

Those are great,  need to pick up some of those work crewmen

[OSHIROmodels]

Cracking work and they certainly fit the bill 

cheers

[Malebolgia]

Damn dude, you're pumping out better and better stuff! This update is even more insane. The painting is terrific and those movie stills are out of this world. You rock!

[Gunbird]

You Sir, are my new mechanical Overlord! 

[Constable Bertrand]

Brilliant! Those bots are adorable - obviously not "big jobs" there.     


Ee-Va!

[Duke Donald]

What a fantastic collection of bots!
