spoilers dude... some of us are still yet to finish the game

Sorry I thought it was common knowledge

We're way, WAY, WAY past the Statute of Limitations on Fallout Spoilers. Sorry.

Yeah two different FEV sources, those ones are from the Mariposa military base while the FO3 ones have a sort of mutated form of it. The difference was the FO3 strain made them grow further as they aged and made their faces stuck the way they are.

Should also make some Nightkin eventually.


With Tabitha of course.

and perhaps Lily.

Born in 2078, Lily lived a simple life in Vault 17 - until the Master's army raided the vault. The 75-year old grandmother was dragged outside, where she saw the sun for the first time.
Lily was then dipped in the vats of Forced Evolutionary Virus, emerging as a super mutant. She became one of the Master's elite guards - a nightkin - working sometimes as a spy or an assassin.

where the hell are those from?!?! I've never seen blue mutants before!

Fallout New Vegas, they're a type of super mutant called nightkin. Basically like the other western mutants, but they're stealth based being addicted to stealthboys causing a fair amount of mental issues with them. Pretty much they don't like it when someone can see them and will usually fly into a rage about it.

Looking at it they were in all of them except FO3.

ahh ok, thanks for the learning.. because we all know.. learning is half the battle! (and the other half is red and blue lasers)

Now I'll have to find a screenshot of the back, figure out how the plasma bomb things stay in the cart.

BRILLIANT!

Totally agree love the conversion work (plus some dam fine minis witch I have to buy know ) the door is cracking and the fire hydrant looks great although I think the top section needs a curve to it.

The shopping trolly is cracking love that, I might not really like the game it but the creativity it has inspired is worth it



Maybe I should play these games

I have nothing to add other than...... 400! ...... congrats dave! that's great and in a year? wowzers..... you must be totally cooler to hang out with than me!

here's to another 400!

Thanks guys! Much appreciated!

Yes, it was the first Generation Super Mutants created at Mariposa which made the smart SuperMutants in all colors. In this way, FO:NV has more in common with the older games fluff-wise. FO:3 is understandably different, as the East Coast story was largely untold until then.

All of it is the Enclave's fault ultimately though.

Looking at that comparison shot, that door must have come from a big corvega

Also congrats on 400! In one year, is that true? Can't be!
At this rate the quadruple digits can't be too far off

Yes, my nosy readers, intent on relentless scalebusting of me

We'll just say the door was from a Nuka Cola truck, not a Corvega

..Oh, and Fire Hydrants are all sorts of different shapes in the US, they don't all have to be rounded on top

way to go on the 400 pages, and wow - that shopping cart backpack - you continue to inspire.

Thanks green!

Perhaps this snippet from the Fallout Wiki will help the great skin color debate

Average super mutants stand approximately 10.4 feet tall (although they typically stand with hunched backs that reduce them to about 7.8 feet) and weigh around 800 pounds, possibly even more. Their skin color is predominately grayish green in case of Mariposa mutants and yellow with tints of red and green in the case of Vault 87 ones, although some mutants with other skin colors also exist. Their skin is extremely tough, and their muscle and bone structure are enhanced well beyond the human norm.

I think I'll Commission RSJake to help make this one happen once he gets his family all settled in
Even a Pip-Boy arm bit (or a multipart?) would be worth having!

Skin Progress





I'm not sure, it's a swirly radioactive mix of color, that's for sure

Done in EXACTLY this order
Left to Right
WW Green glaze, Lamenter's yellow glaze, fuegan orange, cass yellow, and ath camoshade shadows

Perhaps another yellow glaze?

samaritan ... well that must be me then

the skin color reallly comes along pretty well... i was ...again... very skeptic...and again unneeded...

and dave??? it seems you never run across a laser gatilng before? by the way... is that your player or lady geeks one?... i am asking because when i started for the second time i changed sexes and now i look at a firm female bum much more interesting now to endlessly run through the wastelends^^

and yes... another yellow coat of glaze might be helpful here...

also... could you describe how the new paints work? i think you are able to give a good description... i seem to lack a basic grasp of understanding here...

That skin tone is working out really well. The supermutants look very cool.
A bit more yellow wouldn't hurt, but they look pretty close to what they should as is.

The additional bonus to playing as a female character is if you take the "black widow" perk you get a damage bonus against the opposite sex and most of the baddies are male...and that's a good excuse unless someone catches your girl wearing a nightdress...
