Road Warrior Ganger

Getting back into the swing of things this week as things return to normality slowly. This fella was a bargain I found in a model shop in Burton on Trent called Spirit Games a cracking model/board game shop just down the road from Burton train station. Anyway they have a wide variety of miniatures some not listed on there website and they have a treasure trove of OOP miniatures for people to delve through and I came across this gem of a miniature for the princely sum of £1.20. He is I believe from the blister pack a Prince August Loki Viking Gang Member I can't find links to him on the web though besides the odd picture here and there.

Perhaps more Post Apocalyptic than modern day but I think he will fit in well with my biker gang and that's what he will be used with.  The numbers of my bikers are steadily increasing now to 8 members I plan to get more most likely after Christmas when funds are better.


Armed with an axe and a metal dustbin lid as a shield he can go bash some zombie skulls with his axe he will add a little melee muscle to the group. The sculpt had very little flash or moldlines and was easy to paint the pose is perhaps a little 2D if you know what I mean but I think its quite characterful none the less. Onto the pictures

  8. That's a fun and unique looking figure. He would do awesome as a post apocalypse figure, but I think he'll also fit in we'll with a biker gang.

  10. I love this fig, it so reminds me of the cover for Black Sabbath's 1970 album Paranoid. Now I'm really going to have to track one of these down.
