This Way Madness...


I finally got around to finishing up the Cthulhu Wars base set cultists.  The last six belong to Yellow Sign.


Twilight is pretty much the worse time to try to take pictures at my desk.


This makes the twenty-fourth CW cultist I've done.






I've already started on painting the monsters.



A rainbow of mayhem.

Crowd Control


Sometimes things get out of control in Mega-City One and the citizens get rowdy in massive numbers.


Let's take back control.


This Riot Judge, from Warlord/Mongoose, is carrying a riot foam projector.  Riot foam can be sprayed on crowds, where it then hardens and makes it nearly impossible for them to move.  Easy to handle angry cits when they can't all rush you at once.





This is a decent model, although it seems like one of the older ones of the line.
Foundry also makes a riot foam Judge.  I am considering picking it up, although it is carrying a foam projector that is significantly different from this one, which means it isn't a must-buy for me.





Sometimes you're not interested in making arrests.  Sometimes the situation calls for something deadlier than riot foam, yet also much heavier than a Lawgiver.

Perhaps it is a horde of zombies, or the walls are overflowing with mutie scum from the Cursed Earth...






That's when you'll be looking for the nearest rotary cannon. 

This is another Warlord/Mongoose model, with some nicer sculpting than a lot of the earlier pieces.





With this guy, I tried a less-subtle grey highlighting of the black than I normally do, to try to bring out more detail.  I'm not sure I like it.

The Nanny

Work has required a lot more of my time, lately.  This is impacting my painting.  😢




This teenager is from Alpha (no longer in business).  It's roughly sculpted and simple, but it works.





I picked this one because of its simplicity, so I could get a paint job done quickly.  I was too fast with this one, it's not one of my better examples...






This Maria clone (Metropolis) is from Reaper.







This was more interesting to paint.  But the darned camera picks up flaws I hadn't noticed before.

Special Ops


New additions to the collection.
Both of these are from Wargames Foundry. 


  
 




Providing sniper support to the other members of the team.










I don't know what kind of gun this guy is carrying, but it looks formidable.

Mortified


Mega City One has faced some incredible threats, but few more dangerous -- and none as iconic -- as the Dark Judges.


Someone called?



The Dark Judges are malevolent spirit-judges from an alternative dimension that occasionally cross over into MC1.






They came to the conclusion that crime is only committed by the living, so decided that all life is crime and proceeded to kill off their entire world.







These two models (Judge Mortis and his spirit form) are from Mongoose/Warlord (the former Judge Dredd range).









This poor victim of Mortis' is from JohnnyBorg/Mega Miniatures.






He's a little on the small side, but fits in just fine.

Men In Black


This post comes on the tail end of a productive holiday weekend.

These two Wargames Foundry models are good for acting as agents, corporate soldiers or mafia hitmen.




This guy bears a strong resemblance to a certain character from Pulp Fiction...





Royale with Cheese






I wonder how the recoil is going to affect this firing pose...

Urban Cowgirls



Both of these are from Wargames Foundry, and you don't want to mess with either one of them.
