The Wolf Pack


These Sahadeen infantry are from Rebel Minis. They will be part of an exmillitary raider group called; The Wolf Pack. They will have there own Reaction Table for 5150/CR3.

They did satisfy me once painted, but they do pale in quality compared to the new GZG offerings. The commnader has a static if not strange pose. And some of the infantry are not up to GZG's standard. I do like these guys however and have found them to be the most fitting mini's i have to the PA setting.

The Wolf Pack act as a sort of Wasteland enforcer group, that taxes the various communities in water, food and conscripts. They are ruthless when commanding obidence from the wasteland towns. The only town to be rid of them proper is Babylon, which is protected by the New Eden funded gang, the Buckeroos. The Enclaves prefer not to tangle with these guys due to thier armaments and training. Considering thier equipment, The Wolf Pack must still have access to a stash of WW 4 era vehicles and weapons.

Wasteland Vermin


Every Post Apocalyptic game has to have mutant bugs or rats. Some sort of wildlife nasty that harasses the warriors of the wasteland.

Well i chose rats (because i got them in a trade). They are GW rats so they are almost the height of a human in 15mm. With the THW rules i'll probably give them something akin to the Bug rules. So yeah, very dangerous. Watch this spot for a Batrep invovling them soon.

Wire Trees


These trees were very easy and quick to make. Taking various lengths of fuse wire i just wrapped them together and used the longer pieces to make the branches. After that, to take away the obvious wire construction i mixed PVA with Plaster of Paris which i just glopped on, then painted and drybrushed them. I used 2 different types of sponge flock for the foilage and have been finding sponge flock to be just the right texture for anything 15mm.

This is a very common and old technique. I'm not sure who to give original credit to, but god bless'em.

Some finished vehicles

Finished product for the Aryianreich dropship. A conversion of GZG's Mantis. The company now has the Cochroach dropship which would have been a bit nicer i think. But i'm happy with my little conversion. The Automated Slave System or A.S.S. is a response to the Buckaroos and other factions commandering manned vehicles. With out the proper codes which the squad leader and his second possess, A.S.S. won't operate, and will return to the Nazi enclave. Next thing for the Neo-nazis will be some sort of land vehicle. I still have the drone which is a WIP so i may be happy with that for now. And i'd like to get working on some of the other factions.




This one below is a Buckaroo vehicle, the 80's SWAT car. The Buckeroos that get their weapons from the New Eden enclave don't get vehicle funding from them. This vehicle was probably stolen from the Riech. A good addition for the gang that have had to make do with some anachronistic transport.


Below, inspired by the 'Corpse Grinder' and other wasteland cruisers. "The Bitch" is the Buckeroos quick response vehicle. It doesn't take many passengers so the better gangmembers get thier ride in it. I modelled the paint job on a car from a fairly recent film, anyone know which one?

Dead City 2150; Lay of the Land

So i put all the buildings i'm working together to get some idea of what i'll need to do. With the buildings covering most of the 3'x 3' table, i think i've got enough till i want something new. The next thing to figure out are roads and trafic Islands.



I'll put a round about where the orange bucket thing is. And a sort of traffic island where the pouches of tobbacco are. Where you can see the bases are much larger than the buildings, i'll be putting in car parks. Except for one side of the Condo Block, that will have an urban park or corporate garden.

Warehouse

I wanted a different type of building to break up the D.C. a bit. A challenge from one of the moderators' on the Post Apoc Wargame Forum got me to think of this one.

I'll be making a corrogated iron roof for this that will be able to lift off in the fashion of the other buildings.









There will be some stairs to come also, with a balcony looking over the inside of the warehouse. Also an outside platfrom on this side to. The truck will be a part of the building, fixed to the base. I'll leave the forklift rusted and still operable for some in-game impromtu fun.

Ruined/Abandoned Buildings update

I thought it was about time for this. And after having a bit of a break from the hobby, i'm keen to get my creative juices going again.

The ones i've made so far have been fully painted. I used a wood stain to give them the very dirty look. Wouldn't mind doing some graffiti also.







The condo/corp block needs a bit more of the wood stain i think. I'll get to that once i do some of the detritus that will be around the buildings bases.



And a bit of a group shot!
