Salvage Crew Or Zombie Hunters? NEW HUNTER "Doc"

[Pappa Midnight]

Just completed a couple of Salvage Crew for Alpha Forge's Star mogul. I've replaced the "Sci-fi" weapons for modern ones so I can use them as Zombie Hunters aswell! ( Although the .357 is absolutely HUGE!!!). I also used a spare head from my WestWind bikers to make "Rufus" look a little different.

BOSS- Big AL



SQUAD LEADER- Rufus


The theme to my crew is "Army Veterens" so i'm sticking to a limited palette to give them a squad feel to them.

Very nice!

What do you think of the interchangeable heads Pappa?

On one hand I think it gives great individuality....but on the other...they sure are a pain!

Anyhow...I like these dudes ALOT.

My only suggestion would be some random blood spatters on the T-shirt Big Al has on.  Unless he is the worlds cleanest Zombie hunter...

[Pappa Midnight]

I quite like the interchangeable heads, as you they are great for creating individuals. Different weapons might have been a bonus aswell, although it's not too difficult to swap them around.
I was toying with making the boss nice and bloody ( not like me to use blood on my minis  :: ) but as I'm using him for Star Mogul aswell I thought it would look a little extreme. I suppose it could be grime or oil splatters...?

Oily blood?

That works for me!! LOL

The only thing I don't like about the heads, are the tiny little necks they are perched on....they invariable take a bit of greenstuff to flesh out....not the biggest problem in the world....but having that interchangeability is very nice, so the trade off is worth it.

Have you got that Dropship yet?  (i think I am more excited about it than you are! ::  :: )

Knoxville:  How rude of me not to acknowledge your comment. Thank you , glad you like them!

SV: I'm still waiting for it to shipped from Germany! I managed to get an ex-display model from a shop. It won't have the original box or anything but as I'm using it to convert rather than keep as it is, it doesn't matter!
I'll keep you posted.
BTW I may have dibs on another one from a Convention ( boxed etc) if it pans out i may have one for sale. If I do I'll keep you in mind!

Just finished another Crew memeber for Star Mogul which fits in with my idea of "Dual Purpose" miniatures. This time it's "LEVI" armed with a circular saw:


And here's the gang so far!

I love that guy PM! I can just see the salvage crew, working on dismatling some drifting hulk, then all of a sudden, the dead crew starts shambiling in! Levi grabs the circular saw and just5 goes to town on the undead!

Very Cool!

[Driscoles]

I like them. Big Al is my favevourite !

[fatgoblin]

love the circular saw!

[supervike]

I love the minis!  The dual action thing is perfect too.

I just got done painting the pointing guy and the circular saw guy, and I did my 'own' version of Big Al.  We should have a Salvagers rumble!!

[Pappa Midnight]

Thanks for the comments!

Operator5 : funny you should say that! Although I'm still working on my Zombie rules i've already thought about doing other settings like Victorian and Sci-fi etc. I'll probably do the core rules for modern and have a section on alternative settings.

Another new Hunter............salvage crew member joins the fray.
This time it's "Roxy" armed with a pump-action shotgun and a foul temper!
