From BrianB - 15mm Civilians and Martian (17 Points)

My next submission is two parts that are only kinda related. The first half are five armed civilians from Khurasan miniatures. These are actually from a modern zombie set that also came with a giant zombie wolf and some hikers. They might be designed for moderns but I thought they would work for Victorians too. Except for the hikers in their puffy jackets.

I tried to paint them in tones to emphasize the 19th century look. For the one female figure I extended her dress to a more decent length and added an apron with some putty. I wasn't really sure about the coat so defaulted to a canvas slicker. The other one I had trouble with was the gent in the sweater. I tried for a tartan pattern but it ended up looking like an ugly Christmas sweater.

For the second half I tried out a test paint for my Martians from All Quiet on the Martian Front. This is one of the metal drone miniatures. I considered both going with all black or chrome but didn't really think I could pull off either one. I decided to try for a more Steampunk look with brass and a metallic greenish blue. I'm going to have to try it out on one of the full size walkers next.

Five 15 mm foot is 10 points and I guess the Martian is closest to a 15 mm vehicle for 6 more. So that will be 16 points to my tally.

From Curt:

Very cool. I like how you repurposed these modern miniatures for your Victorian Sci-Fi game just by a clever use of putty and using a 'victorian' earth-tone colour pallet (the 'ugly Christmas sweater' comment made me laugh). That's gotta be worth a point.

I also really like that metallic green-blue you achieved on the walker - it looks very sharp especially contrasted with the brass accents.

Great work!
