Hi guys! I spare you the usual "this is why I haven't been posting in a while" crap to get to the meat of things.

I am a BIG fan of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, of the all the comics, shows and movies I grew up with they're my absolute favourite. For quite some time I've been searching for some way to re-create them in a proper wargaming scale. Via a Facebook group for the Batman Miniatures Game I finally got pointed in the right direction: There are actually several smaller sculptors and companies that either make TMNT minis or something that's very close. I got mine from kahaminiatures, they were a limited run and I got lucky he still had some.







Seriously, owning these makes me so happy. If I could get my group to play the Batman Miniatures Game I would probably work on a way to get them in there somehow.

But, you know how it is, it never stops with the first thing you do for a project. I wanted more. Still looking at the BMG and how it evolved I decided I wanted miniatures for all the important characters from my favourite franchise, starting with my favourites: Bebop and Rocksteady, the way they are in the current IDW comic books. I absolutely love that series and the 2 mutant henchmen perfectly encapsulate whatÄs so great about it: A serious, but still funny re-imagening of classic characters. Now, Bebop and Rocksteady are still two down-on-their-luck punkers who get recruited and mutated by the Foot. They are both still dumb as half a brick each. But they are also super strong and basically indestructible.



I knew where to start. I needed an Ogryn body and something that would look good with Kromlech's pig heads. Finding the right Rhino parts actually took the most time, but I am very satisfied with the results.






What's next? Well, Kahaminiatures has a perfect base for a Slash miniature and I'm still looking into Shredder, who ideally would be based on the IDW version as well. I will probably get the Not-Splinter from Greebo.

c&c welcome.

Hah, that is awesome stuff. The basing really sets the models off too.

RADICAL DUDE!

Glad you chose the dark horse look!

have you considered the splinter from mantic dreadball?

Dude, those are frigging awesome!! I'm jealous! Wish I could get my hands on a set of those too!

Wow... nostalgia, so hard. Those are fantastic man, I didn't even realize the Bebop and Rocksteady were conversions on the first run through. Well done!

Very cool. Those are great minis for the Turtles and I like your Bebop & Rocksteady conversions.
