I just ordered some Iron Brothers! TY for the photos, Amazing work Danny! Now your converted S.T.A.L.K.E.R.S. are the Bomb! I made hoods recently and I had to do them in parts. Yours look better! I use milliput, and I am still new with it. Has a work window, and I am still learning, (trial and error) love these! I will stare for a while!

Good selection of painted miniatures Warlord. I like Captain Manwaring in particular for non-specific reasoning... |

Tinker, I think I may name them all after characters from Dad's army.  Just one thing guys, the only figure with a sculpted hood is the one with the gas mask. The others are hooded heads from Anvil. Nice quality too for resin heads. |

 Good to know boss.. There is still hope for me!   Iron Brothers: did you get a variety of heads? I got 40 troops and 5 of all the coolest heads to make squads with.. I am excited.. but I really have too many things on the work tables! I am sure you all know what that is like! TOOOOOOO MANY PROJECTS MUST FINISH ONE AND GET.... argh nah, I can't just do one, they are all related.. and thus must be done all at once!

When a collection painted miniatures, such as yours, gets to a certain size any easy way to name the fellers is welcomed! I think that is how one gamer's gang came to be named the "Brady Bunch!" |

I got mine free from Curtis when he was moving his workshop. So they only came with one head. I used Westwind heads as they where in the bits box. |

Right who wants to see some figures? *cocks the kneecapper* I said WHO wants to see some figures?? First up is a random lone Stalker equipped with a home built SMG - often nicknamed "The Ba***rd" due to misfires, poor accuracy and jamming when you don't want it too.   The figure is a Warlord Bolt Action plastic WW2 British Tommy. I added a hood to the figure and that is pretty much it. One thing to note is that the Bolt Action figures are noticeably smaller than other 28mm figs including the Combat Zone ones.I originally intended to use the bolt action arms and weapons with the Combat Zone figures to make Stalker conversions but the arms are too short and weapons a bit on the small side. There has been other conversions on going on. My old Combat Zone plastic Gangers sat there unloved. So this is what happened....  L- R The left two have CZ trooper command arms while the guy on the far left has a Anvil head and a putty scarf. The third figure from left has been re-armed with GW 40K Dark Eldar arms. The guy on the right had the goofy looking assault rifle shaven from his arms. A resin shot gun replaces the original weapon.  L-R The lady on the far left has GW 40K Dark Eldar arms while the other two figures have EM4 CZ command arms added to give them the gunfighter look. The CZ gangers look a little too high tech for post apoc so my plan is to use them as either Block Gang members for Utopia City or as Ships Crew/Pirates for Wild Galaxy. I have a few more of the CZ gangers and troopers in the unpainted pile. A few more figure conversions will follow in future. I recently acquired the Wargames Factory Survivors (male and female) so any spare parts will find there way into this project. Edited by mattblackgod, Nov 13 2017, 10:30 PM.

I was gifted this little lot from Curtis at Ramshackle when he moved his workshop. The Nuclear Renaissance figures are great Wasteland fodder and are ideal for Mattblackgod's world. As there was a few of the same figure I have done a couple of conversions which I will detail as I go along.  Medic for Great Lakes.Some one will have to patch them up after the Wasteocrates get hold of them!  Wasteland Shamans are integral to many communities in the wastelands giving guidance,advice and "healing" when needed. Guidance often comes from strange ancient devices such as Magic 8 Balls. Many claim to speak to the ghosts of the ancients and others claim to speak to the mattblackgod itself! Shaman will often drum into young wastelander's heads where it is unsafe to go by speaking of ghosts haunting places. Many Stalkers are amazed by the places that are "taboo" but all that means is more loot left. The figure on the left was modified by adding a Iron Pig Kolony rebel head.  Kaludius the daft finds a strange shiny ball in the ruins. "What does this do I wonder?" he mutters to himself as he polishes it up on his rags.... **BOOOMMM!!*** The Wastelands has a new crater. The figure is the same as the two above. I removed the staff and arm. I added a weapon from Mantic Orx/Marauder.The head was replaced with a plastic Void Junker head.  Out in the wastes vehicles are a life line between communities. The wastes are simply too hostile to travel on foot. Some has too build, repair and maintain the vehicles. Folks such as the Mech above.  Every community needs healers like the one above. The Healers can often be found out in the Wastes looking for the herbs and plants to make medicines with.  Need a gun for hire? Cin Emon is the lady to speak to. Once again I have enjoyed painting these figures (when my geriatric Cat Alice stopped making a nuisance of herself). They are very characterful. There will be more Ramshackle figures to be added to the collection in future...when I have finished painting the huge pile of stuff Curtis gave me. Thanks Again Curtis.

Jay - a friend of mine over on Twitter (@souljacker1974) dropped me a message last week to say he had something he wanted to send me. Then this little feller arrived in the post.  Jay painted him for fun but didn't have a use for him so he very kindly gifted him to me, as he thought the figure would fit my games. Thank you Jay - I owe you a pint or two! ;-)  I have a couple of forces this guy would happily serve in. Either way his character name will be "Jay Souljacker". I can here him yelling "LET'S ROCK!!!" now. One of the things I like about the figure is how Jay has done the base. This is broken up cork tile painted up. Simple. I have tons of off cuts laying about so I will be pinching this idea.  Hopefully this picture gives a better view of the base. A great new addition to the meat grinder that is Mattblackgod's world. Cheers Jay!! Edited by mattblackgod, Nov 13 2017, 10:33 PM.

The legend of the mattblackgod is not forgotten out in the Wastelands. Many still pray to the dead god of the world usually to bring them help. Some make pilgrimages to the remaining shrines that cover the world. Others claim that the god appears in dreams that leads them to wander the wasted world looking for answers. Then there is the Cult of the Mattblackgod!!  The cult maintain that the Mattblackgod destroyed the world for the folly of his people. But the job isn't finished. So the cult aim to destroy ALL life upon the ruined world. Only then will the Mattblackgod be at rest. Only then will the god be happy. They often wander into settlements and kill everything that lives. This Death cult is few in number but is another hazard of life in the Wastelands of Mattblackgod's world. The cult set up small chapter houses around the world and recruit those will are happy to follow in its doctrines. A new comer will have to let the cult into its settlement and often will be required to kill his or her family. If the recruit fails the initiation then they are executed in a slow and painful fashion. Once the initiation is passed the Rookie will travel to the secret location of the cult HQ to receive further training (& brain washing). Doomspeakers will go out from the chapter houses spreading the cult's poisonous message. This supplies the new recruits. However the cult are not just meat heads who like killing. Their leaders in the Chapter Houses are always on the look out for anything that can be use to create mass death and destruction. The figures are Warzone Dark Legion Ilian Templars that I have had laying about for about 9 years. I thought it was about time these guys got some paint. The Cult of The Mattblackgod......  ...coming to a Wasteland near you...SOON!!! Edited by mattblackgod, Nov 13 2017, 10:34 PM.

The MBG death cult would perfectly team up with my Mutant Death Cult (not just because they are all old Warzone minis finally painted  )... there should be some cooperation...You are right, Jay´s base is good work. I like the background of your minis (especially Kaladius, good conversation!) as well as the effecive dirty paint sheme. Maybe giving Cin a bit of (brown?) wash would be a good idea? |

Thanks. I have some of those WZ muties. So maybe one day they will team up? Death cult mutant arm? Cin could do with a brown wash. She looks like she wastes too much precious water washing! |

Thanks Flip. They where a delight to paint. Getting all the symbols off the shoulder pads where a pain. It did leave a pitted surface which gives more PA character to my mind. |

Those MBG Cultists are ace! I can just see them rampaging through a settlement, bellowing litanies of the great MattBlackGod to the terrified wastelanders, beating the stragglers into submission with their spiked clubs. Very brutal, almost Metal
