My Gamma World/TNT Post-apoc (TNT Celtos conversions 20.8.2018)

[Papa troll]

Great and curious. Wonderfull collection!

[pahvivalmiste]

Thanks for the comments again

Finished ”Reclaimer” rank and file for This is Not a Test. These could be called something like ”Rust Belt Reavers” – they have found a stash full of old clothing suitable for a group that seeks to rebuild pre- apocalyptic civilization.

This warband still needs a couple of robots and armoured guys. These are a bit more quickly painted, colourful and cartoony than some other stuff I’ve done – I blame the November painting challenge on the Finnish forum as it dictated the first three guys here

[Dr Mathias]

Excellent! The 'cartoony' look is largely because of the color scheme but it makes sense and ties the different manufacturers together really well. I like this group quite a bit, very cool.

Love this thread.

I kind of like it myself, reminds me of old Citadel days... thanks for the comment (uti too )

Painted two simple mutants - Ral Partha/Iron Wind "Roach Spirit" and Heresy "Wereturtle". These can be used in TNT as feral mutants or something. Turtle might get a gun and there are some little things I might touch, but otherwise these are ready to go.

Shades are actually little darker, but my light is acting up again

Love this thread.

Me too!
 

Another great update.
Loving those Reavers and the muties look great, especially the Roach fella.
I tend to spend ages checking out your basing work, too.

Me three.  It's a real inspiration-train of awesomeness!!!

Love is in the air...

Thanks for the nice words. Keeps me going in times of... well... erm...

I tend to spend ages checking out your basing work, too.

This is interesting. Almost all bases for this project are already built and painted with earth tones (figures attached, I paint the little details along with the figure). I've mass-produced them in a couple of batches by attaching random bits, bark etc. and then covering them with Sandy paste and sand.

I'm glad to learn this! I've mostly used commercially available stuff and sometimes I just wish I had more time to build/convert stuff like the bow on the first page (well I could do that, but then I'd have finished much less stuff). 

[Too Bo Coo]

I'm in the same boat, I dont have as much time as I'd like to convert.  So I mostly go straight commercially bought.  However, your ability to mix ranges in such a fluid way...the minis all look like they belong together, is really great.

I've been able to cherry-pick from different lines

Here's an old VOID Tactical Teratosynth. It will be used as TNT Reclaimer (the previous warband, Rust Belt Reavers) Wreck-it-Bot.

Could, perhaps, use some more dirt/shades, but will do for now. Lots of stuff to finish for this project

[pahvivalmiste]

I (relatively) quickly finished three big mutants that had been waiting on my table. These are usable as big mutants/abominations in TNT. The guy on the right is solid metal, pretty hefty and thus also usable as paper weight.

The figs from the front (Attica Games Miniatures "Slithereen Brother", Fenris "Son of Yog-sot-hoth" and Wasteman "Cherub":

Backside and some extra pictures (with Hasslefree figure for scale):

[Dr Mathias]

Ghastly looking. I love 'em.

[pahvivalmiste]

Ghastly looking. I love 'em.

Thanks! I was thinking they might be a bit pale - the reddish shades a deeper in better lighting, but the skin tones are still on the "white man's burden" category.

The first model of the year is finished - A Blight for Gamma World!

PIC

The figure is RAFM Hunting Horror. A bit big, but will do. Blight as such is a three-meter long flying worm that reflects light and is thus able to attack unseen... I tried to get some kind of effect simulating this by using metallic paints and subtle shades without using too much time. There has been an official model for this (original Grenadier Gamma World range)...

Great additions!

Redoubt Sheep and Mirliton Fungoid finished:

I'll paint a Raider Warband for TNT next. If everything goes smoothly it seems I could finish this wasteland project by the end of 2017
