I should have one of the very early plastic space crusade scouts, lmk if you want him - no charge but will need seriously stripped.

That would solve my problem of getting a 5th - is he one of the squad or is he the sarge? (sarge had a chainsword)

It's this guy:

Though the other arm appears to have been eaten by bitz box. It'll be in there somewhere...

somehow that mini reminds me a bit of the comedian...

Are you in need of the sarge? Not sure but I may have one kicking about - I use those space crusade scouts for my Crusaders Penitent chapter.

Love those scouts weety , Advanced space crusade is my all time fave game ;-) , also the void bikes are great . jealous that monkey has a load of them though :-(

That's the one inmygravenimage. Just the very one - I would love to include him in my squad, he would fit right in.

which comedian von dom?

Monkey - nah thanks for the thought, but I always thought the sarge looks a bit daft - his armour seems to big for him.

Cheers neil! I think monkey has one of everything stashed away on his barge somewhere. Usually half finished...

I think he means the comedian from watchmen, It was my first thought too.

prototype is spot on!

He even has a shoulder pad - Spot on indeed. 2 Scouts nearly finished - give me a half hour to do the bases and they are set - they are all going on sculpted bases - will make em look like a real squad.

Finished!

interesting scheme... and do these two scouts testify to the fact that you do now assembly line painting?^^ only joking^^

Very short assembly line this one... I have done it large scale in the past - the first block of imperial guard and squats I dd for this blog were painted all together that way - painting all of one colour, then all of another etc etc then all washed in a generic brownish wash. But it just doesn't give the interesting results I like.

Love those scouts Weety... well done!

the individuality you are able to come up with your minis and the time (next to none...you are damn quick!) makes this stuff you do so cool... iguess even tho you did a remarkably job on those two scouts...hopefully you don´t get too often into something remotly akin to a run of the mill job^^

I wouldn't dream of it!
Well if I do I will be sure to strip it and try again.

My missing headed scout lost his replacement head this morning and I couldn't find the blasted thing - so tiny. But I have lots of those plastic SM heads so I re-did it and this time pinned it on.

I think I did a better job this time round.

Nice GS work! Good to see one of those old heads turned into something useful.

Good job with the paint and the new head - and they get bases too? Whatever next

And you're wrong.


Nowhere near a quarter of the stuff is half finished

Hey weety, box-o-goodies is on it's way!

They're looking great weety; pm me your address and I'll send you him (whether I find his arm or not!)

Groovy! Looking forward to the postman bringing things.

The scouts are Ace ! :-) really like the muted tones and bases!
congrats on the cool hair too.

Cheers Mr neil. I'm in a more muted painting mode at the mo. I think it would be dull to always paint the same way don't you think.

Speaking of dull and muted I felt like painting something dirty. So it had to be nurgle - I've gone and muted the paint scheme while keeping the colours roughly the same. Also we have a lot more corrosion and mottled textures. Hope you like it:

Ah, the old-school autocannon - very nice, weety.

Yeah - it always amuses me when these youngsters refer to mini's that were made in or around the year 2000 as oldschool! Time flies when your having fun...

NICE!!! Now our hefty friend with the plasma pistol really has a reason to step lightly in the old factory. Should make for a good shoot-out but I think my money will be on Nurgly there. He's got a bit more range and a much higher rate of fire. The power armor and Feel No Pain doesn't hurt either.

Yes - range is king when you are fighting a fat man with a pistol.

On a side note, while travelling the wastes I came across a super mutant giving birth to a man. Or maybe they are conjoined twins - "Start the reactor Quaid. Free Mars... urrrhg"

I'll add that image to the the other freaky things that I hope don't bother me while I'm sleeping tonight.

That's just....

"Congratulations Mrs supermutant brute, you've given birth to a healthy 12 stone man"

Love the Nurgle marine Weety looks excellent.

I'm going to have to see if I can find one now, he looks very cool in a rotting/festering way with that Autocannon.
