Runs like New - Industrial Robots

After playing a few games of Space Station Zero, we learned the main enemies in the game are robots who were left behind in depths of the station. In our games past games we utilized some of the BattleTech miniatures I have painted up. While they work just fine, I've been wanting to paint up some of my collection of robots as you may have seen over the past few posts. These bots are a little bit different...

So I hear you're in the market for some robots... we're sure to have something to fit your needs.

Dunger Crossing

 Citizens take warning! This area is a known path for wild Dungers. While normally docile, Dungers can be very dangerous if provoked. It is recommended that you steer clear of them for safety. Thank you for your cooperation. 

Great models full of character!

Spent some time visiting family recently, and so the next Summer of Eldar models aren't quite ready yet. While you wait here are some more models I finished while waiting for others to dry. 

Indigenous Life Forms

The untamed planet of Locust 5 is home to all sorts of indigenous life forms. Among them are the scouts of the Saffron Tribes. These low tech tribes have used their psychic gifts to help them see a better path. That there is more to gain by acting as guides to prospectors who arrive to their planet than fighting against them. 

A couple of bounty hunters broker a deal with some local scouts. 

Knocked a few quick models out this week. Meant for more background NPC types... but cool effective models in my opinion. More after the break.

Stargrave - Pirate Trooper part 2

Hello! Took a few weeks off for a verity of things, but now I’m back at the hobby desk! To start the year off, I finished off a few more pirates to fill out the random encounter table of Stargrave:

The reports said a ship may have landed just behind those rocks...

The Crimson Fang pirate clan is known to operate in the Locust Sector of space. One of the more militaristic clans of the region, they seem to enjoy nothing more than to keep their sector in chaos. Almost as if their leaders simply dislike any sort of established rule…

Hitting the Mark

With the completion of the Ork crew I've been trying to do a steady supply of building. My favored primers are all spray cans, so we're getting to the part of the year where we need to button things up. The more I get built and primed now, the longer I can progress through the winter. 

Galaxy's most wanted

That said, sometimes the urge strikes you to do something different. I had such a great time with the Orks that I decided to knock out a few enemies for them to fight. 

Stargrave - Pirate Trooper Part I

A quick detour from Orktober was needed after the primer used on Runt the Goblin didn't work well with contrast paints. This pirate was sitting on the painting table, so I decided to prime him up and see if a different can worked better. Happily it worked perfectly and the entire base of the model is contrast paints!

A pirate heads through the streets to investigate some strange noises

I was introduced to the models of Vor the Maelstrom by SpacecowSmith of the Tales from Farpoint blog a few months ago. I was really impressed by the look of the soldier model he posted. A little research later and found it part of the range was sculpted by none other than old hammer sculptor Kev Adams! Seems I missed these cool models while I was out of the hobby. So I spent some time on eBay and picked up a few models for some future project. When details of Stargrave hit, I knew exactly who I wanted to use (and snagged a few more models).
