The Unsullied (or Unpainted...)

And the partially completed...

I've been sharing what has been completed so far, but let's see what is to come.


There are the boxed sets:

And the blister packs:

There's a Pat Wagon hiding to the right

The loose gooses:

The assembled Heavy Metal Kids:

The Manta waiting for a paint job:

Those in transit:

And the yet to be purchased:

[So many lovely miniatures out there in the world!]

Not Fast Enough

These casualties are from JohnnyBorg and, I believe, are no longer available (unfortunately).

I actually had one of them painted for a couple of months and was going to post pictures when I finished up Judge Fear, but Fear got pushed aside for other models and so I went ahead and painted another victim to pair them up.

They are both very small for 28mm, but they will work well enough.

Witnesses

Warlord/Mongoose release 6 Mega-City One civilians, including this one.
Cits were known for all sorts of outrageous fashion trends, as displayed here.

I mounted her off center on the base, unintentionally.
It makes he a little unbalanced - she's not the lightest model.

The second civilian is from Blue Moon and came with an integral base.
The base looks like it is a transition from hardwood floors to carpet, so that is what I aimed for.

Dressed more conservatively than her friend above, I am reminded of Frau Blucher (cue whinnying).

Flying Wurms

Crawling Chaos (the blue faction) has two Hunting Horror monsters available to summon.

These are the faction's strongest monsters.  They get the benefit of moving two spaces, like all of Crawling Chaos' units.  The faction can obtain the upgrade that allows Hunting Horrors to move to the location of a battle before the fighting begins.

These are pretty large and cool looking monsters.  I was going to go for a brownish paint scheme.  A lot of people that paint these miniatures do a color theme around the faction color to make them more easily identifiable during the game.  I decided to do a different approach, by putting each faction's color in the base of the model's (except for the cultists, who get it on their clothing instead).
When I was researching how these were described in the fiction, they were all black and I was somewhat disappointed in that.  I thought, How many all black monsters are there in thee Mythos.  I want color.  I may start deviating more from the "official" descriptions of these, because a board of nothing but black monsters is a bit boring and not so much fun to paint.

Fist Bumps

Both of these are from Aberrant.

The sarge, here, is a rather flat figure.

The radio operator is a more interesting model.

Looking over my collected SWAT-types, I feel like there could have been a better color scheme used.  I already have plans to do other Citi-Def models for different blocks (at least one other set), so I will explore a different color scheme for them when I get there.

Street Lieutenants

Wargame Foundry's Street Violence line offers a lot for the near future gamer looking to depict, well, street violence.  When it first came out I was still playing 40k and thinking I wish I had a need for these.

This ganger is dressed distinctively, if impractically.  She's well armed and comfortable in blowing away enemies on land and sea.

In contrast, this guy from Mongoose/Warlord looks more nervous than comfortable.

A low level psycher, I'm sure he wants to push his troubles away.

I am not quite sure where he found his outfit, but it was thrown away for a good reason.
