You may recall that one of my submissions last year was a big batch of minis for Warlord's Strontium Dog game. Well, this year I will be treating you to more of them in dribs and drabs over the next few weeks.
For today we have some Kreelers and some Law Enforcement Officers.
Kreelers
The "Kreelers" were a paramilitary force established by Nelson Kreelman, the anti-mutant politician (and father of the mutant hero Johnny Alpha). They were responsible for rounding up mutants into ghettoes and labour camps. After the first mutant uprising they were disbanded, but somehow all of them overnight became part of the official police "Anti Mutant Squad".
Law Enforcement Officers
S/D agents, being bounty hunters, will frequently come into contact with the local law enforcement on the planets their contracts take them to. Sometimes the contact is respectful, but mostly the LEOs are typical mutie-despising norms.
For scoring
8 x 40mm foot @ 7 = 56 points

Well done Tamsin, some fine brushwork on figures for another interesting game (I can't wait to spend time looking up "Strontium Dog" while enduring another conference call). The "Kreelers" definitely have an ominous paramilitary look to them, and the local law enforcement figures have some great colours - particularly I like the little police-style shields on their uniforms, you did a great job there.
56 points for you Tamsin, we look forward to more!

A sinister looking set of characters. Beautiful work Tamsin.
ReplyDeleteThese look fab, very captain scarlett
ReplyDeleteGreat looking minis, the Kreelers have a definite 'bad-guy' vibe to them.
ReplyDeleteGood painting work in those minis
ReplyDeleteCracking work on these, properly menacing!
ReplyDeleteWhen I read your title, I thought it had to be an anagram so I was expecting to see an entry on "elk seers and lore", which seemed to make much more sense! However, my mind is much clearer now, after that strong coffee and cold water.
ReplyDeleteExcellent figures, as always, Tamsin. My second son was pretty much brought up on 2000 AD comics (it saved on real education) so it's great to see these.
Great looking paramilitary and police and I agree with Martin, my first thought was Captain Scarlet figures? Must be an age thing!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Same as Iain.
ReplyDeleteI immediately thought Captain Scarlet too.
Lovely brushwork and great colour choice- the colours really gel.
@ Greg - thanks! :)
ReplyDelete@ Peter D - cheers! :)
@ Martin C - thanks! Now you say it (OK, type it), I do see the resemblance :)
@ Stuart L - cheers! :)
@ Benito - thanks! :)
@ Jamie - cheers! :)
@ Noel - thanks!, Now, I know that post titles can get a bit weird here, but really? Really? There are a few more SD minis on the way, including some classic characters :)
@ Iain - cheers! :)
@ Darrell - thanks! :)
These look just fab Tamsin! The red and black colour scheme really has something menacing all on its own.
ReplyDeleteSuperb work Tasmin
ReplyDelete@ Nick - thanks! It does have a certain something, doesn't it?
ReplyDelete@ Will - cheers! :)
Lovely brushwork Tamsin. I missed out on the whole 2000AD thing, but these look very cool.
ReplyDeleteGreat muted tones on these Tamsin!

Wonderful stuff!
ReplyDelete@ Curt - thanks! If you go to 2000AD dot com, you can download a free e-book of the Judge Dredd case files - just to see what you've been missing out on! :)
ReplyDelete@ Christopher - thanks! :)
@ Barks - cheers! :)
