My second post if this challenge involves the genre that I intend to spend most of my time on - post apocalyptic. I’ve had these figures for a number of years, slowly adding to their numbers as they pop up on eBay or elsewhere. I’ve no idea at all why I would be inspired this year to do post apocalyptic figures, but let me know if you have any ideas.....
Anyway, these first five are general survivors. The average people trying to make their way in a vastly changed world.....
These figures are from a now defunct range for a game called “Eden” produced by a French manufacturer. Originally they were “Taban Miniatures” and then the range passed to a company called “Happy Games Factory” and they now seem to have closed.
Dietrich is next. Bit of a survival nut, even before things got bad. Doesn’t seem to have had any formal military service, but knows his way around his assault rifle and seems to have raided an army surplus store for his kit......
Luther was some kind of hipster before it all went wrong. Kept his hat, shades and washed out t-shirt and grabbed a pick axe from his shed when he headed out into the wilderness.
Otto worked construction before the Events. Only person I’ve met who’s strong enough to lift that chainsaw on his own. Strong and silent type.....
Some conversions to give than a variety of weapons from different manufacturers, I intend to use them with the “Fistful of....” rules as they’re quick, simple, fun, great for multiplayer and can be adjusted to fit pretty much any era.
With regards sizing, they’re chunky figures, slightly bigger than Star Wars legion I would say (scale shot below with a 28mm figure) so I was going to suggest 40mm scoring like Star Wars legion are?
I too cannot possibly imagine what could have inspired you, now, to paint up these post apocalyptic survivors.
Lovely work on he figures and the basing. I'll score these as 40mm figures, as per your suggestion, so that's 35 points for you.
I almost missed this post as it somehow snuck in between mine and Stuart's.

Great work Jamie.
ReplyDeleteNice work on these survivors, they have a lot of character.
ReplyDeleteGreat work Jamie - I would say this gives you one point for our duel as well, as this looks to be a "unit"...
ReplyDeleteThose are some interesting looking "weapons" I realy like the colors.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking figures Jamie. Cool basing too. I do like the Soccer Mum vaulting over the rock. What an excellent pose.
ReplyDeleteWonderful characters- love the colours and the colourful backstories
ReplyDeleteGreat work Jamie!
ReplyDeleteLovely looking varied bunch of characters!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Those are great figures and I appreciate the close-up shots.
