In my PA world there is a race of bipedal humanoid mutants, the result of a bio-weapon research project that was nuked during the apocalyptic event, that are lovingly known by their targets and victims as "Greenies". Greenies were to be engineered hybrid organisms, a combination of animal and plant DNA that would produce among other things, a self-sustaining purpose engineered fighting machine. Elements of the design were to be rapid growth to fighting maturity, large scale organ and tissue re-generation, and self-synthesis of food stuffs for sustenance through exposure to light. The program also hoped to facilitate the organism's ability of absorb water from the air, to further minimize logistical support and survivability. The program R&D was conducted in a hardened lab in the south western United States, which was the recipient of an large yield intercontinental surprise on that dark day. The result was that the test specimens rapidly mutated into a plague that has spread across the land, limited mostly by the need to closely follow waterways. They manifest as intelligent, resourceful killing machines with the single purpose of exterminating humans. Though information is limited, it is known that Greenies have a two stage life-cycle, starting from seed as a rooted plants which develop a seed pod. The pod produces one or more seeds and a juvenile greenie that reaches maturity in a matter of weeks. Greenies are raised in "gardens" in greenie "villages". The villages are always located along rivers, streams or lakes, and manifest as a sort of base consisting of one or more gardens, and facilities for making weapons and training greenies in the use of the weapons. They are capable of complex engineering and production or weapons and war materials, have good tactical sense, seem to be able to communicate verbally as well as some sort of telepathic or otherwise, a means undetectable to humans, and have been known sing and laugh during attacks. Not much is known about their social structure or culture if such a thing even exists. It is not known if they have families, how they are educated or parented, etc.etc. ___ There you have my introduction to the wonderful world of greenies, one of the great scourges of the wastelands. In the coming months I will be building the places and things of the greenies, and have a list of ideas for the greenie village, vehicles and weapons (including the great water-wagon made from a 1/35 SCUD missile launcher). Unfortunately, I don't tend to be a very creative or original thinker, so I appeal to the group for ideas regarding what you might expect or anticipate finding in the land of the greenie. What gizmos, art, machines, entertainment, etc? What is rumored to have been seen by others in the wastes? What might you build for the greenies, if they inhabited your wastelands? I appreciate any comments, suggestions, ideas, or rumors. Thanks, irishserb |

Mostly a re-purposing of my daughter's old space orks. Fortunately, she didn't go all out with Game Workshopiness, so only a few will go by the wayside. There will be some conversions and few new additions. They will function a bit differently as well. I will interject some of my own type of silliness though. Their will be different "clans" and each will have a flag and insignia. Not as overblown as 40K, but silly in that each will fly the flag of a flower. There will be things like banner of the Death Lillies, the Daisies of Doom, etc. |
