Across the Dead Earth Engineers Guild F.E.S

Had another good painting session on Wednesday evening and got the final two members of the Engineers Guild Forward Expeditionary Squad completed. Well in time for Saturday. I feel I rushed these a little and already have seen some bits I may tweak later. This brings the total number of gangs that I've painted for Across the Dead Earth upto 5! The only miniature I have left to paint from the whole range so far is the Ltd Edition Crimson!

A shout out for another mate.

ABZ Games are going to be at Carronade in Falkirk tomorrow and are going to be selling all the ATDE gangs for only £10!!!

Sculpted by the masterful Ian Mountain and I feel very closely done to there concept art.
Anyway without Further ado here they are.

Barnabus the gangs leader.






Watt the medic (my favourite out the set I think)





Trick the gangs Scout.





 

Chinny the Sharpshooter







Daisy the gangs heavy





Couple of group shots of the whole gang.

  1. That's some nice painting. The differing blues really hold the group together.

    1. Thanks very much Roy. Yes that was the intention. I think these would be useful games like Mars attacks as well as zombie hunters :)

  2. Very well done, Simon! you are spot on about using them in the likes of Mars Attacks or as zombie hunters. They are all good but I especially like Trick the scout.

  4. I think you have been far more painting-productive than I have! They all look very good indeed. If I was going to Carronade I would pick up a gang or two for that price. I think I may have missed out at Salute, still there is always next year!

  15. Great job, Simon.

    With his red cap and overalls Chinny has a Super-Mario vibe goin' on.

  16. Superb detailed work on the bespectacled bald guy! Must have been a real tough one to paint.
