Skirmish in the wastelands

Building and converting figures and scenery is really nice
but once in a while it also needs some testing. Yeasterday 
I put some of the figures together just to see if they fitted
together in my project. I think they look real good and
the scenery is spot on. This little stilleben will illustrate
an attack from some wasteland warriors on a factory
guarded by the military and military-robots.
I hope they will give you some inspiration.

3 more warriors of the wastelands

Yeasterday I finished painting 3 more warriors of the
wastelands. Now I have painted half of the planned
figures to Fallout-skirmish.
The 3 figures are a mixture of bits to get a more
casual look. They have all heavy weapons to be able
to retaliate attacks from vehicles or robots.
The shooter with the mohawk has head taken from
the wargames factory-zombie box and the hair
is a horse-tail from Games workshop. The neck is
scratchbuilt because the head was sculpted without.
The bazooka and the rifle is from Warlord games and
their WW2-US soldiers.
Overall I am quite pleased with these figures and 
I hope that they will give some inspiration.

Mini number 2

Last thursday (17th of november) my second "mini"
was born. She weighed 3025 grams and was 480mm
long. The birth was very straight forward and not
like the traumatic first.
I feel very proud and especially when the first thing
my second daughter did when she arrived home was to 
grab my paintbrushes. ;)
If you want to see some pictures on my first mini
the report is to be found below:

Förra torsdagen den 17 november så föddes min
andra "mini". Hon vägde 3025gram och och var
480mm i strumplästen. Födseln var okomplicerad
och inte alls lika traumatisk som den första.
Jag är mycket stolt och speciellt glad blev jag när
det första min nyfödda dotter gjorde när hon kom
hem var att grabba tag i mina målarpenslar. ;)

Combat cars of the wastelands

I bought some nice cars at the local fleemarket to
convert for my game Fallout-skirmish.
Both cars are Hot wheels that are delivered together
with a Happy meal at a well known burger-
restaurant. The car that I have painted in lilac
is a Ford Mustang and this was the favourite
car for me when I was a boy. I have added
a bumber and a extra fueltank and also a cover-
shield with bolts.
The second car is still a riddle for me and it is
called Black panther in the Happy meal-add but
not which model or manufacturer.
On the black car I have only added a bumber.
On both cars I have drilled a hole in the roof
to be able to mount different heavy weapons.
I made the weapons modular and they fit both
vehicles.
I think I managed to get a gritty and dusty look 
and I am alos pleased with the flames and the
cyber-deathhead on the hood. These cars will
give a lot of the right feeling to my post apocalyptic
games.

Warriors and slaver

Due to my pneumonia I haven´t been so active lately but last night
I managed to catch up some of my planned projects.
I have painted 5 more warriors of the wasteland to the game:
Fallout skirmish. One slaver and a light armed bodyguard and
three wellequiped warriors.
During my sick period at home I have also read some inspirational
litterature and I can recommend the softcover series: The survivors.
I read these books in the eighties and I have collected them all.
The books describe a world after the apocalypse and are
written by several different writers. My favourite character is
The wanderer written by D.B Drumm.
All the books are translated from english and realeased in both
Sweden and probably the USA.
I still have 15 more figures to paint before I am ready to play
but they are all primed and 50% finished.
I have also built two vehicles and this report will be published 
later today.

Robots for the wasteland

Reading the information about the world of Fallout,
one special character is the robot.
This character comes in three different models: war-,
security-, service-robot.
In this report I have converted Battletech-robots in a
smaller scale to fit into my 28mm-figures.
I chose to use different blue-colours for the security
robot and shades of green and brown to the war-bot.
I think they all look like mean machines and they will
perform well on the gaming table.

For those who are interessted in the free Fallout skirmish-
game I will provide the link below.
On this page you also can find the rules and all the accessories 
including free paper-figures.

Wasteland-warriors

I looked in my box with bits and found parts to

build 9 more wasteland-warriors to my post-

apocalyptic game Fallout-skirmish.

I think they look mean and with the bases they

get even more character.

My two favourites are the Rpg- and bazooka-

shooters. I wanted a punk-look and I combined

a bald zombie-head from Wargames factory and

a horse-tail from GW.

The figure with a death-head-shield on the back

will be a slaver.

I hope these pictures will give some inspiration

until they are all painted. Enjoy! :)

The King meets a sniper

During the dark evenings I have painted in 
the light of my working lamp and now I 
have finished two more figures for my
post apocalyptic game Fallout-skirmish. 
The king will be used as a leader
and I think he has a lot of character.
The second figure is a sniper that is one of
my favourites.The camo-cover is inspired by 
the camo pattern I made on my 40k-tanks earlier.
These two figures will be a nice addition to
my growing force of wasteland-warriors.
Finally I have also started working on my last
factory-building and my first preparations
is to be seen on the picture below.

Accessories

Last weekend I stumbled on a fleemarket at the
local square on my way home from work.
I found some finds to use both for medieval
warfare and modern.
Very useful roadsigns to make a roadblock/
checkpoint a frame to make a scratchbuilt
locomotive and finally a 1950-inspired car.
A catapult, some threes and also some knights
but the riders are unfourtunately not in the
right scale.
The highlight of the day is indeed the very
nice modelled medieval tent and the car.
The threes will be used when I will make
a graveyard and will be a nice detail.
Finally I have started to paint my gang of
figures to use in post apocalyptic games.
They are from GW and Chaos cultists but
I have changed and added some bits.
I am really looking forward finishing these
figures and this morning I also updated
the bases.A new report is soon on its way.
