Lead pile additions this week I picked up some Wreck-age figures from a guy on the Lead Adventure forums. Only the two for now I plan on using them for the Forest Kin faction for Across the Dead Earth but now having them in my hand I really quite fancy trying out Wreck-age as they are really, really nice looking figures. More of these I shall certainly get!
The one with the Bow is a Drifter leader (I think a con exclusive but not sure) and the other a Staker Outrider. They size up well with my Across the Dead Earth figures but will match up with Hasslefree and Crooked Dice miniatures perfectly. What is also awesome they are on 25mm round and based in a similar fashion to all my existing post apoc stuff and also already primed white. So are ready to begin painting!
Photo is from my mobile phone so a bit crude but you get the general idea.
The Drifter Captain?

The Staker Outrider
There have been some new additions since I last checked I love this set Its on my list to get for sure.
Animal Herder with Capybaras It would be perfect for some sort of objective for Across the Dead Earth.
That's a very odd-looking bow, I think!
ReplyDeleteI do like the idea of trained "attack capybaras", though :-) . Completely unlikely, yet strangely appealing. Or I suppose they could be food animals...
Wreck Age is an RPG/Skirmish game hybrid. The Capybara I think are more food animals than attack elements. They have a ton of different types of boar from explosive to scrap carrying beasts of burden.
DeleteCapybara is just not something I'd really thought about as a source of food but when the world has ended and there not a lot of choice food wise it makes sense.
I thought that about the bow. But if you google modern bow there are some very strange shaped ones though they seem very functional :)
Deletenice figures mate I shall look forward to them getting the "brummie" Treatment from you"
ReplyDeleteJust noticed the new banner. Looking good.
DeleteThanks and Thanks. I have a ton of Post Apoc artwork built up I shall probably change it regularly or as the mood takes me :)
DeleteThere are a bit different, but beautifully sculpted, can't wait to see what you do with them Simon.
ReplyDeleteThey are indeed beautiful. I dunno I think when you actually think about films like mad max, The Phoenix Warriors and other films of the 80's they fit the Post Apoc theme really well.
DeleteThey're very nicely sculpted figures and ideal for a post-apocalypse setting.
ReplyDeleteI was pleasantly surprise more shall be ordered in short order!
DeleteGood sculps all round.
ReplyDeleteThey are aren't they.
DeleteCapybaras are the huggable variant of the archetypal giant rat, very cool! :)
ReplyDeleteThey're ace I though about the Across Dead Earth with Wallabies then when I was checking the Wreck Age site they released these a while back must of missed the announcement. I really like the herder/shepherd makesma good guard for a settlement.
DeleteNice new models, looking forward to see the painted
ReplyDeleteI hopefully shall put the brush to them this weekend. Debating on whether have a first attempt at stringing the bow but it seems like it will be a bit tricky as the bottom part of the bow is touching the base. I think I'm going to leave and have a go on a more normal shooting pose.
DeleteNice looking sculpts, and I look forward to seeing them finished. :)
ReplyDeleteAt your usual impressive speed that should be about now right? :P
LOL haha I haven't picked up a brush all week. I shall have to amend it this week!
DeleteAre they done yet? :D
DeleteHa no further progress so far :P
DeleteLovely figures Simon. I like how the chap with the bow is wearing scavenged/improvised armour. And as others have said, I like the changing art in your banner.
ReplyDeleteHave you read S.M. Stirling's apocalyptic/fantasy series? It should be right in your sweet spot if you haven't.
Cheers,
Michael
Thanks No I haven't a new name I shall check out
Deletelove the capybaras :) and the new headbanner too :)
ReplyDeleteThanks they are great aren't they
DeleteWhen we were starting out with Across the Dead Earth, Mat from Wreck Age was one of the first people to get in touch and support the project, offer advice and actually put his own money into the KS, where others might have seen us as a competitor. As far as I am concerned Wreck Age and the gentlemen behind it can do no wrong.
ReplyDeleteYes indeed Matt and Anton are great guys like yourselves the PA Crowd are a great bunch of guys
DeleteLovely sculpts dude! Looking forward to seeing your treatment of them. The capybaras rock!
ReplyDeleteThanks they do don't they!
