G'day All,
I really should be doing the squirrel challenge considering how easily distracted I am of late. Two weeks in a row now I have failed to finish the second unit of Oathmark Humans I started at the same time as my first post for those guys.
This week I got my copy of Gaslands Refulled from North Star plus a bunch of cars from fleaBay and, well, the rest is a rusty, top fuelled rabbit hole...
In total I finished 13 vehicles of various types, all appropriately weathered and bashed about. All we disassembled for prep, most were weaponised and modified to some extent (not the bikes) and then all we reassembled for painting. About 50% were painted as single pieces, the rest as sub assemblies to make sure I could keep nice clean lines on some.
The Rizing Sunz
First up we have the Rizing Sunz, sponsored by Miyazaki and sporting some of the worst hand painted kanji ever perpetrated by a gaijin! About 15 minutes after I was finished it occurred to me nail art would have solved that issue. Duh! At least I was smart enough to overpaint the suns beneath the kanji by using 40K decals to give me perfect circles. Miyazaki are all about speed, fancy driving and clean lines...
 |
| L to R: Flying Crane, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Finger and Sushi Roller. |
Inglorious Five Gear Klan
Next up are a team sponsored by Mishkin, the Russian-inspired faction, so I gave them eagle motifs. I wanted these guys dirtier, but given they are into experimental high tech I figured I'd still go easy overall on the damage and rust effects...
 |
| L to R: Red Sonja, Purple People Pulper, Pink Eye and Blue Dragoon. |
Russian slogans courtesy of leftover Flames of War decals. Quick, easy and given the hand painted kanji experiment probably a good idea all things considered.
Lastly we have some unaligned vehicles I can use for any sponsor, as NPCs or just top up wherever needed. I particularly enjoyed bashing the garbage truck, armouring all the weak points and adding a harpoon and mine droppers.

| They call me Boomer. |
 |
| L to R: Lime Slider and Bug Eyes. |
 |
| Similar to but legally distinguishable from a major movie franchise. |
These were crazy addictive and considering I have another thirty vehicles inbound it would be foolish in the extreme to suggest there won't be more in the future.
13 x 20mm vehicles = 195 points.
Zero skulls. Sorry Barks! [sad face]
Cheers,
Millsy

A diversion, sure, but what a wonderful one. I love these Millsy and I really like how you've made each faction unique in their armaments, aesthetic and even their names ('Hidden Finger' and 'Sushi Roller' crack me up). Of the NPCs, I especially like the heavily modified dump truck (harpoon?!). I look forward to seeing more of these amongst your upcoming Oathmark entries.

Nice cars, truck and bikes, Millsy! :)
ReplyDeleteThese are a joy to look at. Well done Millsy.
ReplyDeletethese are fab, never played gaslands but Dave has a copy, obviously, and I have a monster truck (as inthe movie) with tentacles.
ReplyDeleteThese are so much fun!
ReplyDeleteFun vehicles Millsy, I’ll have a Lime Slider with a Purple People Eater chaser please.
ReplyDeleteThose are just so good, can't believe how crisp they are
ReplyDeleteThese are great. I don’t know why I haven’t pulled my finger out and done some myself. Your nail art idea is great!
ReplyDeleteGet on it Barks. I would have thought you would be all over it already mate!
DeleteSuperb painting Sir!
ReplyDeleteAwesome work Millsy. While that dump truck really pulls at the heart strings, I must declare, as a Minnesota Vikings fan, that is should be "Purple People Pulper" FTW!
ReplyDeleteThanks Greg! I looked the Minnesota Vikings up, not having any idea about American football beyond the fact they wear armour to prevent getting booboos and it's where AFL players go to clean up when they are nearing retirement. Nice purple. Maybe I will make a car in their honour.
DeleteIt's like HotWheels and Mad Max had some dangerous love children!
ReplyDeleteCheers, MikeP
Great work to get them all together in teams! We’ve played some gaslands and it’s great for light hearted fun.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking collection of gunned up hot rods!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Very nice vehicles, Millsy!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone!
