A Bit of Allsorts this week

Finished off some more bits lingering on the Bench this week. Has a bit of Man-Flu beginning of the week which lasted until Thursday so was to knackered to get any hobby time in hence no post last week.

Right first up we have a couple of Hasslefree figures to be used as Survivors in my Zombie settings or a Mercenary / Tribal in my Post Apoclayptic setting. We have Grant A and Mad dog. Mad dog was just sheer fun to paint! Another Copplestone Corporate Babe done leaving two out of the pack left to paint at some point.

Next up from the work bench is taaa daaa some SOTR Russian snipers. I bought these to use as Militia when I first had the Apocalypse Z rules. But swiftly changed my mind on the ruleset. Now they will used as wandering nomads or hunters in my PA world.

One on the left is a slight converison. I could never understand why a sniper would be holding grenades in both hands? So removed the hand on the right and replaced it with a pointy knife and file down the nade on the left hand and added a jagged speartip in place as a second knife.

This weeks WIP

Been busy this week catching up with puttying the bases on nearly all my previous miniatures that have been posted before . I have managed to get some painting done on my Men in Black and some of the Corporate Babes. Flesh is mostly done on them just need to add highlights to the clothing and paint the weapons.

I picked up a Rachel Knight off ebay for £2 including p&p to use a survivor as she comes equipped with a nice backpack and holding a revolver and has a sheathed knife. I have converted the Assault/Raiding (really not sure which is which) to be armed with a spare Steyr Asault rifle from  a Wargames Foundry Street Violence pack.

I've also joined the Post Apoc Forums after watching Mad Max 2 on telly the other night. It put me in a Post Apocalyptic mood. This has some great articles, miniatures and terrain and is nice friendly place.

It also lead me into making some Wasteland Stalkers. I bought last year some SOTR Russian Snipers and the Special Character Nika to use as some sort of militia or  Zombie hunters as they all have scoped bolt action rifles. They got bought and left in my leadpile until now. One has been converted she was carrying stick grenades in both hands (a bit strange for a sniper?) so i removed this and replaced them with some nasty looking knives The rifle is removed at the moment for painting. I think with a desert, patchy paint scheme they will fit in quite well.

Anyway enough of my mad rambling heres the pics.
