Ok so managed to get another figure finished before 2017 closes. I shan't say again that this is my last miniature again as who knows what will happen this week lol.
Eight Ball joins my raider clan and is a conversion from a Hasslefree Fantasy Football figure. It was a simple conversion. I drilled a hole in the top and bottom of her left hand and then added a plastic baseball bat from the old Wargames Factory Survivor sprues. I clipped it in half then glued it in the holes in the hand to make it more secure. The top of the bat has been made more post apocalyptic by adding some barb wire that I picked up online. I had planned to used it for adding to scenery. I shan't say that the Walking Deads Negan character bat Lucille had any influence over this choice as I built this model a good while before having seen him on the show back in this Post from Feburary 2016!

My Raider clan is coming together nicely I still have a good few more to add. Mostly the Classic Grenadier Scavengers. Though I still have the not 'Master Blaster' to paint up and is sitting looking at me on my paint table at the moment.
Also in the New Year there are some awesome Post Apocalyptic Characters coming out from Crooked Dice as well as a boxed set expansion for second edition. Rumours are there are some new Vehicle rules in it and it will cover Post Apocalypse in broader terms than just focusing on zombies. I am really excited for it.
These Gorgeous girls are due for release January 1st 2018
This Dastardly looking Apocalyptic dog was teased on Christmas Day. I haven't a pigeon when he will be released or who will accompany him.
Nice looking figures. Great work.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas.
Thank you mate. Merry Christmas to you and yours mate.
DeleteLooking good, Simon. I appreciate the group shot of your gang. As for Crooked Dice, I am also excited by their new offerings.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bryan. Yes I am indeed. Modular vehicles were mentioned in the latest podcast from Meeples and Miniatures.

Excellent conversion and paint job on the new addition to a great looking gang :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the 'heads up' on the new mini's from Crooked Dice too!
Cheers dude. I love Post Apocalypse especially anything related to Mad Max. I will be looking forward to the vehicle rules as everything i've looked at so far seems to crunchy and I am hoping the 7TV2 version will be more fluid.
DeleteI always support people who like to battle in their underwear :)
ReplyDeleteYes indeed or has the bottom hanging out the back :)
DeleteTerrific stuff as always, Simon, though this mini's characterful pose is one of my faves. Sadly I found myself falling out of love with "Crooked Dice" with "7TV2E" and haven't bought from them since. Silly really I suppose, as the rules obviously don't affect the quality of their minis, and their latest stuff has looked very good indeed.
ReplyDeleteThanks dude. I really like the streamline rules. But there is nothing stopping you using the 1st Edition rules. The minis cover several genres and of course there is nothing stopping you using them in other games. I dare say any post apocalyptic figures I pick up from them will be used alongside my other figures in Across the Dead Earth
DeleteBrilliant stuff Simon! When I saw Muttley teased by CD I got super excited because now the Artizan Dick Dastardly has his partner in crime :)
ReplyDeleteHa yes indeed it is a great looking mini. I daresay he will be getting used in my Post Apoc games of Across the Dead Earth. The figure will look great with my Engineers gang.
DeleteLike the NOT Mutley!
ReplyDeletePost apoc Leotards.... each to their own but I would hope to hear something more protective myself.
The figure does look good though.
Nothing wrong with leotards! Better than it all just hanging and flapping about lol!
DeleteThanks dude. I like my read to look a bit a madly dressed.
Great mini conversion, but imo maybe a little under-dressed for a pa world -haha
ReplyDeleteYou raider gang is getting bigger and bigger and with the new stuff you've got your eye on coming from Crooked DIce in the New year - I suspect it's going to quite some force in your pa wasteland.
Great stuff Brummie
Cheers Joe! Yes indeed a little under dressed perhaps but it all does depend on the setting really. Yes indeed I am going to be working on some sort of people from a settlement. Something the Crooked girls will be being added to. I have some more conversions planned.
DeleteThat's a cracking conversion. It really looks brilliant
ReplyDeleteYour Raider Clan and its latest addition look awesome! Love the skin tones you have painted on them.
ReplyDeleteExcellent work on your latest raider mate, painting and conversion are both top notch. :)
ReplyDeleteThat dastardly dog looks ace. :)
