7TV Yakuza

I decided that these don't really fit the Zombie Apocalypse genre though they might be useful if I ever get round to playing ATZ as perhaps a gang or something. So instead I think they might be more useful as a criminal cast. They certainly need some kind of mastermind to lead them I need to have a think about it and find a suitable miniature or perhaps the other way round maybe.

As shown previously the first band of Yakuza I did a few years ago have been spruced up and fixed a few faults here and there now I'm a bit more experienced and steady handed :-D The tattoos I'm still not sure about they are better I think than before but still need something that I can't quite put my finger on or lack the skill to do at present.

The Group as a whole.

The new Additions (well been in the leadpile a while)

I think I'll take more pics when the light is better outside.

The new Tattoos Front

Some WIP pics

Done a little bit of hobby stuff this week finished basing some old figs. Done the faces on my Spyfi Rescue team only to hit a dilema do I leave them grey with black webbing or paint them white with grey webbing hmmm

What do you folks think?

Finished the Dixon Yakuza and Copplestone Future Wars Bikers. Still got the Foundry SWAT and the Copplestone NBC Troops to do when I get around to it.

A few pictures of my bench at the moment of upcomingfigures to be painted.

Zombie Hunter and Yakuza Finished

Finished my Zombie Hunter and Dixon Yakuza. Spent more time than I would of liked redoing Eyes and the tattoos but never mind enjoy.

Zombie Hunter is armed with a Crossbow and Large Caliber pistol.

Made from Foundry B team Murdock, Trimmed the Magazine off his rifle and trimmed the Barrel into an arrowhead. I then added the quiver and bow from a Games workshop Moria goblin. Finally added a space marine bolt pistol in holster to his left leg as I thought he need a back up weapon. The holster was trimmed to size as it was huge.

These Yakuza are from Dixon Miniatures and I think they are quite characterful my favorite by far is the bald one armed with a shotgun as he has a scar running across the top off his head.

I added a marine bolt pistol and combat knife to the Tattooed guy as he was unarmed again trimmed down as they where huge.

Yakuza More WIP

Right nearly finished these fellas. I've done what Gnotta/Vampifan suggested with the tattoos and added some flesh tone to the colours and repainted them on.

What do you think?

Any more tips would be greatly appreciated

Two extra photos added

This Weeks WIP

Not had much time this weekend as went on a day trip to Weston Super Mare with the other half and kiddie winks. Had a great time but it was very tiring.

Anyway I've had a bit of an experimental week. Had a go at painting eyes and had a go at painting some tattoos. I've still got plenty to do neaten and finish up.

Please any comments or tips would be great

Happy Happy Happy

Yay finally my copy of 'No More Room In Hell' by Iron Ivan games arrived yesterday and I collected it today woohoo. I'm hoping to have a flick through so I can see what dice etc I need as starting from scratch I realised I don't have any LOL.

Whilst in my favorite shop I also picked up some 'Dixon Miniatures' Yakuza  thinking they could be a gang of survivors or an enemy. I only bought the one pack depending on how well they paint up I might pick the rest up.

I seem to be addicted to modern gangster types. I was reading about all the different types of Yakuza groups on a wiki page yesterday. Was fascinated may have to do some gang warfare type games.
