Originally from the Vault 7 (which due to it's lucky number had no bizzare experiments) outside New York, our hero was a lowly security guard banished from his underground home after getting a bit too close to the Overseer's daughter. He somehow made it all the way to Nu London where he's gained fame as an adventurer and hired gun. He's seen here with a few allies ready to begin another dangerous wasteland quest. Who says that the Vault Dweller can only have one companion at a time? This is a great excuse to put a few misfit minis together and call them a gang. The Vault Dweller. himself is a repainted Heroclix agent, who's jumpsuit and guns made him perfect vaultie material. His friends are a Copplestone babe, a GW Escher given a new hat, a Void commando and a Copplestone sniper. Attached to this post: 1.jpg (152.49 KB) 2.jpg (125.77 KB) 3.jpg (125.49 KB)

Isolated from the outside world inside what appears to be a spiky metal church, it's simple minded peasant population learn only what Gee Dubya's Emperor (some say he's an AI, others a glove puppet) wants them to learn. Everything is centred around Gee Dubya, with hard work for little reward and constant Imperial propaganda taking up their days. They build the Imperium's goods which are then sold back to them at a ridiculously high price (constantly rising, incompatible with anything else). The propaganda keeps them in check with questionable tales of the Emperor's achievements, reminding them that their lives belong to him, and outside Gee Dubya is a dangerous world of "D'Orks" and "Smelldar" waiting to kill wayward Gee Dubya citizens who try to run away. Some time in the recent past, Gee Dubya (inspired by their successful massacre of a peaceful settlement called Sqwhats) sent an invasion force to conquer Nu London. Gee Dubya troops went to battle in heavy but impractial armour that the propaganda has told them was "powered". While it was tough, it certainly wasn't powered and in one of their only acts of decency, the Nu London Corporation destroyed the would be invaders. To make things worse, back home Gee Dubya had "updated" it's weapons and ammo and due to Imperial policy of not making their new and more expensive products compatible with their older stuff, their troops were left with outdated equipment that had stopped being manufactured during their absence. To cover up for the shame in their defeats and to keep the Emperor looking godly, the Imperium has disowned any troopers who managed to return alive, they were no longer Gee Dubya approved and were banished from the bunker city. These are three of a minority of survivors, who have stripped down much of their armour to something more useful for moving about in Nu London's ruined landscape. One even wears a non Gee Dubya approved baseball cap. For unknown reasons, females make up less than one in a hundred of the Gee Dubya Bunker City's population. Three troopers made up from a mix of Space Marine and Guard plastic parts, with only the baseball cap one guy's wearing not being "Gee Dubya" in origin. I normally avoid their Space Marines like the plague but bought a 5 man set for this conversion idea originally thinking of making them Fallout BOS types. From there, the story of the Gee Dubya Imperum just came to me. For any Gee Dubya lawyers reading this, it's all for a joke OK... Attached to this post: 1.jpg (100.87 KB)

Both made from a variety of GW Imperial Guard plastic kits. I've posted trenchcoat guy before, but his mate's new. I cut down the new one's helmet since I can't stand the bulky Cadian helmets.

Coldheart Posts: 514 Group: Members Member #114 Joined: Oct 23, 2009	And for today's final update let's have two more civvie types (raider bait, monster food, whatever). Working at the Broken Arms pub is Murray, a bitter failed mercenary who now makes his living as Nu London's slowest and least friendly landlord. He doesn't want to know your name and he doesn't care about your problems. Seen here with Belle the barmaid, exotic dancer and all round goodtime girl who's the only reason the Broken Arms gets any custom. The barman's mostly made up of GW Empire plastics, but with a spare Reaper head I had from a Merc type and added beer mug and bottle from parts forgotten. The lovely barmaid is another Copplestone cowgirl/babe type. Attached to this post: 6.jpg (101.4 KB)

Coldheart Posts: 514 Group: Members Member #114 Joined: Oct 23, 2009	Cheers guys. The "Gee Dubya" thing was just too tempting, a fun dig at both GW themselves, and how they present the whole ridiculously bleak, gothic, oppressive Imperium (Our heroes everyone. Our heroes) Maybe those people who've been claiming that the Orks are the true good guys are onto something. To balance things out I should point out that I've never had any problems with GW stores themselves, and they did actually once sell me something cheaper than it should have been. True story, it does very occassionally happen. It was a box of IG Steel Legion still on the shelf when they were being phased out of the shops, so there wasn't actually a price. As an all metal set they'd gone for about £20 but the store did them for me at £15.

The only "good guys" in 40K were the Squats. If they hadn't been dropped, they'd have eventually been corrupted too. I love the mix of guard and marine parts. Very PA, stripping away what doesn't work and keeping what does.

Coldheart Posts: 514 Group: Members Member #114 Joined: Oct 23, 2009	Just a little update. Using up the last two Space marine torsos from the box, I've added two more guys to the Gee Dubya outcasts, including a squad leader. You can tell he's the leader by his womble helmet and Gee Dubya approved spiky bitz shoulder pad. Like the others, they're a mix of Space Marine and Guard plastics.

Specialising in black ops and assassination, no job is too nasty for these mercs and they are rumoured to also be involved in the disappearance of various "do gooders" who dare to try and make like in the Nu London wastes a bit more bearable and stable. Yeah, my take on FO3's Talon Company. Since I tend to play the good guy, I get chased by these mercs a lot though they're a good source of parts to fix my Ranger armour. I also wanted to do a group in all black uniforms, but make it so they didn't look flat so I used different dark shades as drybrush over different areas of the black. Group consists of a Foundry SWAT guy, a Foundry merc, an EM4 SWAT/corporate goon, and another of my ever dependable VOID commandos. They were quite an easy paintjob so I may add a couple more guys into this gang. Attached to this post: 1.jpg (152.81 KB)

Not exactly sure how edible some of these monstrosities are, and nine out of ten Nu Londoners much prefer the stick to the rat and generally stick with pidgeon, squirrel or urban fox for their easily huntable meat dishes. Necromunda giant rats along with a bunch from a Skaven swarm set. Attached to this post: 3.jpg (103.12 KB)

Coldheart Posts: 514 Group: Members Member #114 Joined: Oct 23, 2009	Two bottle caps!? TWO BOTTLE CAPS!? Those are big rats, even after separating the meat from the various spikes and other horrible bits they'd feed you for a week... Assuming you can stand the taste. Throw in a lukewarm Nuka Cola and we have a deal. I need my irradiated caffine and sugar fix.
