Overwatch's Near-Future/Cyberpunk Project Log

[overwatch]

No worries James! Thanks Daeothar for chipping in too (I missed your reply as we do so at the same time!)

Some really awesome stuff you've done there Cherno, may have to see about using some of your goodies on the next mat I do! Thank you!

As for the spinner, I'm sorely tempted to get it just because it's awesome but at the same time I'm trying to keep the vehicles somewhat land-based with tracks and wheels. Decisions!

I managed to put the finishing touches (apart from weathering the bases, again...) on my Police Officers and SWAT unit tonight. Also had some signs from Warsenal delivered (via Antenocitis) so managed to get those done too. Thought I'd grab one of my favourite Ghost in the Shell images for one of them and then knocked together a Shattered Void banner (a project I'm involved with) for the other.

Coppers - Sadly the metallic blue armour doesn't photograph very well.

Cheers for the encouragement gents!

Nice work!

[MrHarold]

Really well done! everything goes great together.  I might've missed it, but do you have a ruleset in mind?

[overwatch]

Thanks Harold!
As for rulesets, I'm not 100% just yet. I'm likely to go down the homebrew route as there's several elements I want to explore in regards to game controlled characters, arresting, possible solo-play - Things like that. We'll see! For the mean-time Infinity works a treat for skirmishes.

[Cherno]

The Department has rules for arresting, AI and solo play

[Brummie Thug]

This looks awesome. Any chance of some closer pics of the first team you showed up some awesome conversions here and there.

So I've managed to get another small crew sorted out. This time some of the baddies!

Introducing the 'Snow Angel Crew'! The SA Crew as they have been dubbed are a growing problem in the southern parts of [STILL WORKING ON THE NAME AND STORY] city. The crew runs a basic dictatorial regime within its ranks. The leader of the SA goes by the name of "Candyman" and there are no known records, no links, nothing on who this man may be as the only photographs ever taken of him see him wrapped up in a fur throw over a black tuxedo and his face concealed by a multicoloured voodoo mask. The SA Crew typically have their hands in narcotics dealing and trafficking, intimidation and extortion and a few of their members have been convicted of more serious crimes previously. Word has it that they often employ a number of the city's many homeless street children to help smuggle their wares, though this has never been confirmed.
Snow Angel Crew
Left to Right, 5 "Angel Boys" who are the crew's heavy hitters and bodyguards. "Bag Man" The groups main narcotics runner. "Candyman" The SA Crews Gaffa, with his vintage gold-plated Winchester (Must be worth a fortune as most of these vintage weapons have been out of production for many, many years!). "Futureboy" Purple-haired Right Hand Man, Hacker, Information Specialist. Street Kid, Narcotics mule and objective marker. 2 Street Dealers, standard criminals basically.


Also got some new cars come through, scuffed up a 1/43 Burago Land Rover Evoque slightly and scrawled on the front "BLU VIPRS" who are the next bad crew I'm working on, typical cyberpunk-esque thugs and their banged up ride.
Also got a 1/43 VNIITE-PT Taxi and finally a 1/43 Renault Talisman as a civilian car.


I'll get some close-ups of the first team next time I finish some more bits off Brummie!

Department is good fun as I do own it, though for what I'm looking for it sadly doesn't scratch the itch. We'll see in time! Thanks as always chaps!

[Earther]

Oh very cool! 

[commissarmoody]

They look great! Like how you repourpused the spectre minatures  African militia. I might have to give them another look.

[randycarter]

Great stuff in this tread, I'll follow it!

[warburton]

Nice!

[Brummie Thug]

Very nice additions. Nice mix of minis as well.

[Commander Vyper]

Awesome thread. Question : where's your appleseed alpha mini from???

[overwatch]

As always, thanks for the comments chaps!

Got a delivery of some goodies recently from the TTCombat Range so I've been putting them together and slapping some paint on. Nothing too fancy at the moment.
I've got one of their City Houses with skylight addon, 2 Food Booths, some street lights, barricades, then some roof doodads such as aircon unit, water tower, fire escape outhouse thing plus loads more.


Also got a quick closeup of 3 characters from my "Possibly Ghost in the Shell" group.

Most are just headswaps and a little bit of putty in for the red eyes of Borma.


Briareos of Appleseed fame, base model is the Infinity Bounty Hunter you get for preordering their N3 Rules. A bit of greenstuff work on his face to make it more like the character and then some Infinity PanOceania "bunny ears" added to give him the finishing touches.

[Constable Bertrand]

Awesome taxi! Great paint work too, the colours really work to unify the teams, lovely work.   

Cheers
Matt
