Hi! Heres the first member of my new outlaw gang Wee Rab!  Wee Rab is a midget with an attitude and is the most recent addition to Angelinas gang of misfits and cutthroats. Hired on for his sneakyness and homicidal attitude Rab is armed with a repeating crossbow which allows him to shoot at opposing gangers from concealment, coupled with his small stature this has made Rab quite effective at sneaking up on unsuspecting enemies and shooting them in the back. This hasnt endeared him to his peers who generally consider him to be a treacherous little oik (rightly so as it happens) Despite his small size, Rab is a veritable terror in close combat as his head is level with most peoples groins and hes more than willing to repeatedly headbutt opponents in tender areas. Rabb is also noted for consuming vast amounts of alcohol and chasing anything wearing a skirt. The miniature itself is one of the old D&D Chainmail Gnomes but I think hes turned out nicely as an unusual addition to my force. |

A VERY characterful wastelander (check out his medical bag & stethescope, stylish hat and nipple rings) with nameless henchman/bodyguard. Both are Copplestone minis. Doctor Greenthumb- Drug dealer. In a world of bizzare and potentially lethal chemicals and mutated (and yes, potentially lethal) plantlife, a drug dealer with a flair for invention can make a pretty good living. Whether you want heightened senses and awareness, or just to spend three days staring blankly into space, the good doctor's always coming up with new and interesting ways for Nu London's population to get off their faces.

Natalia- Wasteland Witch. By day, she makes money as a fortune teller and seller of supposedly mystical junk to gullible idiots. This is just a front, as Natalia's one of a rare few born with genuine and very powerful black magic abilities. Needing no weapons, she instead relies on voodoo curses and summoned spirits in battle, making her a much sought after hired gun, and a target for the New Londinium Corporation who have outlawed all forms of magical/mental/spiritual powers. She's the first of a few Wyrd Malifaux minis I've picked up recently. In the fluff, she's an ice witch and wears mostly white, so I've painted her in brown. Go figure... Might give her a little crew of monsters.

The Arcade Boys- Soldiers of Fortune. Answering only to the codenames Player 1 (brown) and Player 2 (green) this pair of heavily armed mercenaries have survived numerous missions against impossible odds, and usually with a lot of unnecessary collateral damage. For whatever reason, they believe themselves to be stuck in a videogame and that the only way out is to keep taking increasingly more dangerous missions until they achieve a fabled "high score". Armed to the teeth and seemingly blessed with the luck of the devil, they take no payment except the chance to loot bigger weaponary, food and medical supplies as "power ups" from the battlefield. They've also been known to occassionally carry off an attractive female in the belief that they're rescuing her. Some say they're an NLC super soldier experiment gone horribly wrong, others claim they're just two nutjobs warped by too many combat drugs. A pair of Void jungle commandos. I love this particular range of minis. I was playing one of those retro arcade compilations, and a couple of the simple old "one or two colour coded player soldiers take on an entire army" type scrolling shoot em ups when I figured that'd be a fun idea for some PA characters. I was originally going to do them in blue and red, to really go for the old arcade feel.

WOWWOWWOWWOWWOWWOWWOW !!!!! that is the cry of the NORTH AMERICAN cougar (mountain lion, cata -mount, panther, painter) and when a bod is OUT THERE and hears it, it is time to worry! guys! i am worried! my nephew has offered to bring his camera down here, show me how to use it and leave it with me so i can take photos of my stuff. at my very best, before nerve damage and arthritus got me, i could never paint as well as what i _routinely_ see here, yet i was considered to be among the better painters in the DFW area for years. in fact, contract painting supported my hobby during the bad times, even paid the bills and put food on the table in really bad times. the only reason i even mention this is, now, at very best, i am sure that my stuff would be considered to be "wargamer standard" paint jobs. are y'all sure that you want me to send photos of stuff to eyeball that does not even come close to the daily standards i see here?

Go for it Dawgie. Don't be too hard on yourself. Besides its a nice way to salute your friends who paint for your you. If they are in business as painters then it might throw work their way too. |

Go for it Dawgie. I'm not the best painter either, and "wargame standard" is still pretty good in my book. |

in the years following the great renewal (ie. the apocalypse) a brave monk went about spreading the good word to the people of the waste. but the people were not listening & drove away the good monk into the deep waste where mutants & rad beasts lurk. driven insane by thirst & rads the good brother stumble upon an old automated (& slightly defective) cyber-surgery complex where his weak flesh was replaced by strong alloys, strong as is his new faith in the great machine thus was born Father Steel high priest of the churh of Cyberia (think of Torquemada,s brain in a T-800 body)

Before the Zone killed the world the Stalker Wraith was captured by the authorities. British Special Ops got him out as they needed someone to train a special team they planned to send to the zone. During the training in a remote part of Scotland the Zone War started. The zone caused a small scale nuke war and hit back with massive worldwide emissions that killed billions. Wraith now leads this special force. They travel Europe with an aim of getting to the Zone, they don't know why.  During their travels the force trains survivors how to survive and take out mutants. |

Raven, also known as "Black Raven". A famous female Stalker who has captured the hearts of many male Stalkers. In many places across the now massive zone drunken Stalkers whisper her name in a sad lament.  Mini is a EM4 Scav, with a AK added and a knife. |

Some amazing looks stuff there, Mattblack how did you get that authentic rust look on your scenery? Is it just massive amounts of drybrushing? |

Marked One - Hero of the Zone. This Stalker is the only known person to survive the Brain Scorcher. He paid a steep price, his memory erased. When found in a bunch of zombies the only clue to his identity was a mission to kill a man called "Sterlok". It is thought the Zone changed him and it has become its great protector. Marked One wanders the zone looking for his lost identity and the man that he has to kill. More importantly the man who may be able to give him the keys to his past back.  Marked One is a typical hero willing to protect ordinary Stalkers, go into dangerous places and take on the most fierce mutants. |

LTL Mom This is a fun idea Matt! I think it is fitting that my first offering is LTL Mom. While she is a relative newcomer to the Wastelands, she has quickly become legendary in her part of the wastes. Only the foolish stand between her and her goals. When hell broke loose, Mom was a CPA which probably helped as the boredom, schedules, and mathematical consistency of her profession was just itching to be released in an explosion of wanton destructive power. Starting as a Rep 3 civilian with no weapons, she has quickly learned that survival in the Wastelands comes through steel nerves, careful planning, and raw firepower. She now is the de facto leader of a fairly successful gang and she as aquired an arsenal to match. Her "No Bozos" sweatshirt is her standard attire as it is her trademark and obviously must bring her luck as she is now a veteran of many battles and she has yet to be bested or go down in combat. Really quite remarkable. |
