Combat Zone: Scavenger & Biker Gang

Another change of pace and another project progresses alittle further. Some of these have been shown before but they have had a few bits repainted and tidy up to fit with the newer painted ones.

Gang Leader & 2 Veterens

 The Scavengers are a mix of EM4 (Ex-Grenadier) and Copplestone Castings, as they are both sculpted by the same person (Mark Copplestone) they blend perfectly.

Grenadier Models UK

Arrrh viewed by some as the poor step-child of miniature collecting and loved by others. I have to say I'm a recent fan, maybe with in the last few years I've taken interest in there back catalogue and bought more and more ex-Grenadier figures.

Grenadier Models UK

Grenadier models UK Ltd was created in 1984. Bob Watts approached Roger Higgins of Games of Liverpool, Grenadier's British distributor, to cast Grenadier's products for the European market. Higgins recruited his Import and Wholesale Manager, Doug Cowie and Mal Green to set up and run Grenadier Models UK. Casting equipment was set up above their Birkenhead offices and they learned the trade of casting by trial and error. Public grants through the Welsh Development Agency assisted a move to northern Wales.

Necromunda, yes that's right more Gang Banging! Ohh errr!

Yup more Necromunda fun in the Underhive, I'm addicted to Necromunda like a Ratskin to Wildsnake.

The first 5 Scavengers/Scavvies done, more EM4 Copplestone Sculpts.

Combat Zone - EM4 Miniatures skirmish game

Combat Zone is a 25mm skirmish game set in the near future. At the end of the 20th century the governments promised that the Internet and World Wide Web would be made available to us all, it would be in every school, library and public building. Unfortunately this never happened. Society was split by those with computer skills and access to the information and those who didn't. Corporations familiar with the ways of the Net grew more powerful. They fed the populace with biased information, digitally remodelled pictures, everyone believed what they saw or read was true. Governments were brought down by scandal. Important ministers employed by the Corporations. The population turned to the only ones they could trust, the ones who provided them with jobs, housing, and leisure facilities, the Corporation. They built secure zones within the cities. The local police force were employed by the Corporations to police these zones. Those of no use to the Corps were left outside the Corporate walls to fend for themselves. They lived in a harsh, violent, and lawless society. The only people for them to turn to were those with money, and power. The Gang leaders, drug and arms dealers. They provided them with food and shelter, and an identity. They were part of a Gang, and they had a purpose. To protect their turf from raids from other gangs or attacks by the neighbouring Corps, who formed military units to eradicate the gangs. Life was lived in a Combat Zone, and there was no escape.

EM4 Miniatures Bikers and Scavenger

So after painting up the EM4 Savages I've fancied having a go at the Bikers and Scavenger ranges. Below is the first 4 WIP figures. The skin still needs the last wash/tidy and final highlight or 3 in the case of the lady.

I'll get better pictures taken when they are finished.

The Swamp Ratz - Part 1

The Tribes of  The Swamp Ratz have lived within the Underhive for millennia and treat it as a living Deity much in the same way as their distant kin the Ratskin . They believe the Underhive is both generous in its bounty and merciless in its vengeance. They have little to do with the Hivers and are rarely encountered, preferring to steer clear of the heathens who desecrate their sacred hive by poisoning its sacred places.
