Nice job on the repaint, weety.

Out of interest, who else is in line for the stripper?

And with that, congratulations on 3,000 replies.

The 'blue trooper' is next - he is from Paranoia; a very old short lived GW game - http://www.collecting-citadel-miniatures.com/wiki/index.php/Paranoia. I did a reasonable job on him way back but I think he deserves better. Hes already been stripped and I'm in the process of painting him.

There may be others. The painting inquisition will swoop down swiftly upon any mini with an inadequate paintjob.

Hey, it wasn't that short-lived, we played Paranoia for years back in the day.

Paranoia the RPG is still going strong - currently being produced (under license) by Mongoose Publishing.

Hey, weety, man i love this blog. I'm just doing a few pages at a time but what i've seen is fantastic. Classic models with classic paintjobs! This is the reason i got into the hobby and your blog is convincing me to have a session of painting individual or small groups of models again. Sadly, it's to easy to forget this original flare and it's great to see you've held onto it! Keep it up and hopefully i'll finish reading this treasure trove soon!

Thanks lostsoulcasy'slaw. I hope you enjoy the rest of it! Classic models are so irresistible. I must catch them all!!!

I apologize for calling paranoia short lived monkey. I was just quoting a website. Whada they know anyway. I like to think that there's still people out their playing confrontation and rogue trader rules!! I will always remember every rule from the 2nd edition w40k and would feel confused and angry if I was to play 5th ed. I think thats why I was always good at W40K because I remembered all the little rules and used them to my advantage. Its a classic case of rules-nerd syndrome

lol, I guessed it had come from a website If I recall correctly (and there is by no means any certainity to that) it was published by Elysium Games, GW had the license to distribute it. Don't have any of my old stuff to check that, but I'm sure some knowledgable fellow will point out any errors.

If I still played then I reckon it would be RT and Confrontation rules for me, they're the last rule sets I played with Although I certainly don't recall every rule, or even every one of our house rules, excepting any that are noted in my RT book.

Dysartes - I saw that Mongoose grabbed several licenses some time back - they got Dredd too didn't they, maybe Traveller as well? Are they new editions or total re-vamps do you know? Just out of interest.

Old games never die, they just get revamped. No I guess I'm exaggerating when I said i remember every rule - but I do have one of those trick memories when it comes to nerd stuff and passing exams. Shame I can't get a job passing exams really.

Went and hi-jacked my dads printer to try some new backgrounds and it turned out he was all outa black ink - so I ended up with this happy accident, the washed out look gives it the feeling of distance I think;

Heh! That's a great background to go with that mini! So ominous...makes me think a Genestealer or Plague Zombie is going to pop out of the dimly lit background to Nom Nom that guy.

Good thing he chose PLASMA as his outfit's accompanying accessory. PLASMA is all the rage in Paris this year.

In case you didn't notice, I really like that mini and the background.

I must get some more of these industrial backgrounds. They look good with the necromunda figs.
Dad's printer is very hard to use as somehow its ended up with Latvian as its default language and we can't find the menu to change it back as its all in Latvian! Or maybe its Slovakian.
He is a very fashionable fellow with his matching leather and steel hat-and-jacket combo, accessorized with holsters and webbing, designer ripped jeans and this years must have item; the plasma pistol. I like his fatness best - you don't often see podgy necromunda figures - they all have to live on synthdiet and free-range rat burgers - it makes one wonder where he gets his love handles from? Maybe he cannibalizes his victims? Or perhaps he has a secret stash of archeo-junkfood, twinkies maybe.

"In the grim darkness of the 41st Milennium, deep in the twisted hive-city of Amuurica, one podgy scummer is on a quest. It will take him from the slimy tunnels of Tac'o Ba'al, up to the greasy spires of The Berger King. Join us for the epic tale on one paunchy man, his trusty (usually) plasma pistol, and his endles drive for one thing and one thing only...

...fast food."


I love the paintjob. Particularly the stitching running up the back of the vest. It's like it 'used' to fit, and then after he tore it he haphazardly stitched it back together.

Actually I think he generally prefers slow food as it can't run away as quick...

fast food, slow food, medium food and things other people wouldn't consider food at all reheated via plasma gun on the 'simmer' setting

Nice avatar weets... looks... bitchy. "You never take me out to anywhere nice anymore and when are you going to ask your boss for that promotion?! I work my fingers to the bone around here all day and all you do is walk in, plant your fat *ss on the couch and complain about what I'm cooking for dinner! My mother was right, I should have married Dave Grubek... at least he's going somewhere in his life. etc. etc. etc."

Like the new fig, he's full of character. Must be a bad man... he'd pudgy where food is scarce... and has a specialist weapon, even amongst the Astartes. Granted he'll only be able to shoot if 5 times at best before it kills him... but hey... more meat to go round then, eh?

Love the new background. The red tinge just makes it feel more alien and outer-spacy.

Back in my day plasma pistols didn't hurt as much. But I see why they changed it - back in my days of taking advantage of the rules I would arm entire assault squads with plasma pistols.

Here is Chopper McChopperson, pitslave and part time lumberjack

I pretty much love any ganger model that uses a cut up tire as a shoulder-guard. That looks great. The blue-jeans also came out really well.

That sawblade is awesome, and it's so huge you could use it like a shield if you had to... not sure if articulates that direction though.

Well he could certainly use it to block quite effectively - could even slice up the enemies weapon!

If I played w40k anymore I would totally use this guy as a servitor bodyguard for the techpriests

Sounds like a very part-time job, can't see there being much lumber in the underhive.

Re-paints look sweet (if Chopper is a re-paint, not sure if I recall seeing him around these parts before - my memories not what it used to be ).

Washed out background looks cool, very evocative.

Avatar switches from real red-head to fantasy red-head. Story of my life.

Maybe he cuts synth-wood? grown ina vat init.

Hes not a repaint - I did show a picture of this dude painted but I certainly wasn't resposible for it -got it off ebay. Its often cheaper to buy a mini that is lagged in paint

Fair enough. To be honest, if he's going to be waving that big saw around then I'd let him cut anything he wanted As long as it wasn't attached to me.

You're not wrong about the paint-glopped minis, plus it gets harder and harder to find the old-skool dudes anyway, so grab 'em where you can.

If anyone has a paint globbed mini they cant be bothered to strip then I will have it if you are cheap!

He might cut metals and plastics too if he is asked nicely.

Looking great! Those jeans are super cool and the metallics are nice and gritty

nice new avatar weety... and

git? is that a quote of somehwere or OT from your life? lol...sounded very convincing...^^

Wow, that's a great idea Weet!!

No thankfully... but look at weety's Avatar... can't you just hear her ragging some poor bloke out? Head is tilted just a bit, mouth wide open, eyebrows raised... her left hand is probably doing that chick "snapping the fingers" thing.

Thankfully it's just a bolter she's carrying

Fear the 'snappy fingers'.

One can only imagine the challenges of going through life with a buzz saw for an arm....would have to take great care in the bathroom.

Lol. :-)

Dstiengass what was my great idea? I had a few too many glasses of wine and now I'm confused.

I see what gits means - she does look annoyed and ready to emasculate someone.

And yes I fear the pit-slave will end up being a space eunuch if he goes for a piddle and uses the wrong hand

...

yeah right LOL

..the printed industrial bg
and the pitslave groin gag...
both great ideas!
