Yakuza

 

I painted up most of these in ’06 with the intention of using them in skirmish games like Gangs of Mega City 1 and the like.  That game never got off the ground but I still like these guys.

The first batch of figures were painted mostly with drybrushing with speed in mind.  They werent dipped and details such as eyes were left pretty vague.  The drybrushing is pretty crude in places but in the interests of getting old figures painted and on the table they are fine.  I intend to use them as a group of survivors in horror games.

 

Boss Hari San

 

Hari San never goes anywhere with out "The Girls".

 

Botan

 

Aiko

 

Yoshi

 

Melon

 

The two schoolgirls were painted with a little more care.  Although they dont strictly have to be part of the Yakuza they do fit well here I think.  Their uniform scheme will be repeated on some other school themed figures that I have at some stage.  Both Z3R0 and ENF0RCERB0T are also intended to be part of the Yakuza group should the game require it. 

 

Suzi

 

Coco: wears rollerblades.

 

 

Organised Crime

Resident Evil Hunters… sort of.

 

These guys came in a terrible boardgame.  They are kinda fun figures so I gave them a quick paint scheme.  I intend to use them as demons or swamp aliens or whatever as the need arises.  The most likely use will be to represent the frog like Hunters from Resident Evil.

Hunters

 

Two strains.

 

The whole pack

Shaun of the Dead (and Ed)

I painted Shaun in ’05 I think.  I spent a little time on him to get the look reasonably right, although I still took a lot of short cuts (like not bothering to highlight the black trousers and belt) for example.  I like him, I think that he looks pretty cool.

Shaun: he has got red on him

Rear shot

Ed was bought and painted some time later.  I spent a whole lot less time on Ed.  A scruffy and rushed paint job combined with a messy dipping combine to make the figure less than stellar overall.  On the game table he looks fine however, particularly when associated with Shaun.

Ed

Evil Deads Ash

"Groovy" (and all that...)

 

I painted Ash last week, mainly for use in various zombie related board and miniature games.  It is tempting to throw him into some “historical” fantasy games too.  He is a time-traveller after all.

I painted Ash quickly last week but I am happy with how he turned out: grubby.  The likeness on the figure is pretty great too.

Radioactive Zombies, Zombie Dogs, R.E. Nosferatu

Radioactive

More zombie stuff for use in tabletop miniature games and Last Night on Earth.  Radioactive Zombie figures from the Horrorclix line.  The translucent green bodies are great.  I havent repainted these figures at all. I did re-base them.

Nosferatu

Resident Evil: Code Veronica Nosferatu

The Nosferatu character in Resident Evil:Code Veronica looks like the illustration above.  My version was made from a Horroclix and some bits from the GW Chaos sprue.  It isnt an exact match by any means, but it captures the feel of the character well enough I think.  The paint job was very rushed and the dipping was a failed experiment but despite all of that I still kinda like it.

Zombie... Jack Russels

The above are the zombie dog miniatures from the Zombies!!! boardgame.  They are quite well sculpted an have a nice level of detail.  They are dirt cheap too: a bag of 100 cost under a €10.  The only down side is that they are a little bit small.  They are about the size of a collie or sheepdog or springer, rather than a RE doberman.  Still fine to represent urban or suburban zombie strays or whatever.  Incidentally, I should have taken photos of the dogs from the other side too.  The eye on the visible side is hanging out, the other side isnt.

Slightly more threatening undead hounds.

More rebased Horrorclix.  I might get around to repainting bits of theses guys some day.  Then again, I may just leave them as they are.

All in a row for scale.

Crows

Undead Birds. Annoying.

 

A batch of crow models, mounted on little terrain pieces due to their small size.  They are intended for use in Last Night on Earth and other zombie games although they should be useful to mark out other game effects too.

P-Type Tyrant

Tyrant P-Type Stage 1

Tyrant P-Type Stage 2

Tyrant P-Type Stage 3

 

Three stages of the development of a Resident Evil tyrant.  The figures are intended for use in Last Night on Earth or in anything that requires a super-zombie.  When the stage one gets nailed rampant mutation turns it into the stage two and so on.

The first figure is an old GW Titan Princeps.  Stage two is a modified Heroclix Hulk.  Stage three is a Hellknight from Doom:the Boardgame.
