Hi,
Have you seen Into the Badlands? A bit different from the usual post-apoc type show, it is set 500 years after the fall of civilisation. The primary premise is that guns are banned, so martial arts and hand to hand are now the main forms of combat.
The world is controlled by Barons, who basically run different aspects of civilisation (weapons, opium, grain etc.). They are protected by and their will enforced by 'Clippers', who are their personal army. There's also the usual roving bandits. The Barons are always jostling for power and fights between Clippers are common - often joined in person by the Barons who are formidable fighters too.
There's a good run down here:
http://www.amc.com/shows/into-the-badlands/exclusives/the-worldActing is a bit wooden but the fight scenes are amazing, movie quality and very atmospheric. I think it is a very enjoyable show, and season 2 is starting soon.
It makes perfect wargames fodder - I'm thinking 'A fistful of kung fu' or other more sword-play type rules (Ronin, Way of the Samurai?)
I've cobbled together a few models from Wargames Factory models (ahem I mean Warlord Games). The protaginist, Sunny, and a prototype Clipper. (sorry about the crummy photos).
Greenstuff still needs a final polish. The chest needs to be cut down a bit and the holes filled. This photo is not flattering.
Can you spot where the bits are from?
I'm hunting around for some good rival Clippers to face them, but in the meantime I want to get a decent force up to support Sunny (and some paint on them too of course!)
Cheers, The Baron
