Biker; The Biker Lands....

The apocalypse was seen as a blessing by the world's biker gangs. No longer could the law interfere in their lives.

Many Biker gangs became semi nomadic using a place as centre of operations. Others became fully nomadic wandering the wastelands with a convoy of trucks that formed the support to keep their vehicles going.

Biker gangs fought each other too as old and newer grudges came to the surface. However the opposite was also true with gangs meeting allied gangs. Often this would result in a massive party that went on for days.

Many gangs acted as mobile raiders. Others joined factions as outriders and scouts. Some gangs stayed neutral. One gang had a certain code of ethics they took from ancient earth knights. This gang was called the "Knights of the road". Despite their name they attempted to befriend many wasteland places in their nomadic travels. There are stories of them riding into a mutant or raider assault on a settlement.

One spring the gang was laid up in the Confederacy Wastes. Their Leader "King" had a dream in which a rider on a bike of flame told him to ride North. The North was all mountains, hidden valleys and high plains. It was a place where no one wandered. He took the gang North to see what was there.

The crossing was hard. Poor roads, high altitudes, flash floods and ice presented many dangers. After a couple of days they hit a high plain. It was strange as it seemed that the mountains had been chopped flat. The riders were getting tired and worried. To top this fuel was running low. As the gang was turning on their leader, King rode out of the camp. They followed in pursuit and after a few miles stopped astounded.

Ahead of them was some sort of old oil drilling platform. They site also had a home made refinery. King stopped to barter for fuel and the gang then realised that they site was run by a small faction who despite their access to fuel and oil had little in terms of weapon. The where terrified of the bike gang. King offered to run the place and protection for the people. Biker Land was born.

In time a allied bike gang came to join them along with one or tow groups looking for some place safe to live. The area is surrounded by high mountains and lush valleys. It is easily defendable. The down side is that the area is frozen for long periods of winter.

Biker Land is a industrial city that makes items for bikes and supplies fuel to the Confederacy wastes and Liberty Wastes to the south. There is a number of bike race tracks around the town and the Bikers are well known to like a party.

There are several fortified campsites across what is now known as the Biker Wastes. They are named after famous marquees of bikes and set about 30-40 miles apart so the bikers can ride in between them.

Very cool, bikers are a must for any PA world. A nice mix of minis from all over.

Is the lady with the blue hair kneeling or just incredibly short?

Say, you've been painting like mad, Danny :(|cool:

All excellent stuff. Also, it's good to see those Kallistra gangers painted - the pics on their website seem to do them no justice at all.

BT - those bikers have been laying about in boxes painted and unused for a good few years. Its just the bikes that are new, well most of them. :D

Lost Wandered - the chick with the blue hair is short and she is kneeling. She is a GZG 25mm lady biker. I hope to add some more of these one day. Nice sculpts.

Its not a gang Ross, its a small nation.

Oh one tip, when driving through Biker - do not knock a biker off his bike. Its punishable by death unless you can prove the biker was suicidal. :D
