Thanks for the positive comments everyone. I am blown away with how much i've worked on these last few months. As far as hobby projects go, I am notoriously slow-going. I have a few other buildings waiting in the queue. I am hoping to have enough to play through the city streets. I want to get a few bits of scenery for the inside of some of the buildings - things like office supplies and computers, but have been having trouble finding good pieces that fit.

I also just ordered The Banker from Spectre Miniature for my Hubologists. When the Hubologists declare the start of a formal conflict between parties, they send out The Lawyer to declare war and "sue" their adversaries as was the ancient custom of the Church of Elron in the times before the Great Deluge.

Working on some K-9's for the NCR Rangers. I wanted to go with German Shepherd markings, but then I have to decide on a color for the body-armor that contrasts enough with the colors. What do you think I should do?

Thanks guys. The dogs are Anvil Industries Stim Hounds. They're my favorite dogs i've found so far.

Army Green is a great idea. I was thinking a canvas color for the bodyarmor, but green would add some variety to the color palette like Deltadog suggested. Personally, I like limited color palettes, but I might just be weird.  ;D

This looks really atmospheric, I have no idea of what fallout is but you can see from your work that it is some dark and forbidding place in the future.

I personally prefered the ground before the drybrush because it was so uncompromisingly dour which reflects the sort of world I think you are trying to portray. Although I would agree from an artistic point of view the dry brush works well.

Apart from the fact that I think your work is ace I like the feed back you are getting and using.

Very inspirational in a dark way

Keep it up

Sierra Company with some new K-9 additions. I finally got around to highlighting all the NCR Rangers and finished the dogs. Went with a tan desert for the body armor on the dogs. I didn't own a good army green so I caved and went with the tan. I like how it turned out.

I hope my friend (the creator of the big ruined highway) comes on to share more (including all the WIP pics he took), but I thought I would share some pictures of our game board last night. I got a few of my gaming group members into TNT and my friend spent the last few weekends making this big ruined highway. Hope you enjoy some shots from our gaming last night.

Awesome thread. I love the terrain and minis. You have hit the Fallout vibe spot on.
