Hi There!
For this submission I have a team of third-tier security mooks to help quell all sorts of volatile situations. Things like chaos incursions, vehicle parking arguments and particularly aggressive seniors at grocery checkouts.
These models are from Knucklebone Miniatures, one of my favourite 3d designers.
I wanted a quasi 'Mega-City One' look for them so went with a distressed yellow ochre for their shoulder and knee pads. Also to give them a little 'somethin' somethin' so I provided them with snazzy looking chromatic visors - besides, the bad guys need something to aim for...
I had a few of mishaps removing supports with a couple of their weapon magazines going missing. Bad words may have been uttered. Anyway, I rolled with it and came up with some sprue replacements, but I placed them at their feet, figuring that these hapless new guys had accidentally thumbed the magazine eject on their weapons and are now caught wanting.
I like 'Number 10' the bare chested officer with the cigar. He has a sort of Robert Crumb counter-culture look about him.
I had some extra Adeptus Imperialis decals laying around and so gave the bunch their very own shoulder pad numbers. Easier for body identification I figure.

The officer barely making it his unit sans his uniform shirt and armor really sells the fact these are mooks. Nice color scheme.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tom. They're a bit of a mess for sure, but they got heart!
DeleteVery cool! Every futuristic law enforcement agency needs a brute squad. Love the colour choices too.
ReplyDeleteCheers Millsy!
DeleteAwesome, very mooky
ReplyDeleteThanks, I really strived for the mookishness.
DeleteSuperb silliness!
ReplyDeleteThanks Paul!
DeleteNice work Curt.
ReplyDeleteThank you Ray!
DeleteHey Curt, cool stuff, the officer really sets the scene for the unit.
ReplyDeleteThanks JP. Yeah, like the Dude's rug, he really ties them together.
DeleteNice work on these guys Curt. The officer looks like he just came from watching Da Bearz at Soldier field.
ReplyDeleteTotally!
DeleteCool figures, love the bright yellow uniforms
ReplyDeleteCheers!
DeleteLove the scenic photos.
ReplyDeleteThanks, it's fun to dust off some of the old terrain bits.
DeleteBrilliant work dude. I'm sure whatever words were uttered were appropriate!
ReplyDeleteLovely brushwork as always my friend.
Thanks dude. Said words were pretty foul. Sarah just smiles beatifically and continues on with her day...
DeleteThese are so cool, one of the best things about this challenge is see what you bring to the table. Wonderful brush wok as always
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Kent, you're very kind.
DeleteSuper mooks and everything about the officer says "leadership".
ReplyDeleteTotally. The guys looks like he should be giving a TED talk on it.
DeleteThat's a fun and useful unit. The decals add a touch of class, and the leader is great.
ReplyDeleteCheers Barks.
DeleteExcellent brute squad Curt. Yellow fits and very targetable. Fun submission. Cheers.

Thanks Bruce, much appreciated!
DeleteGreat figures and paint job Curt. As a longtime DreddHead I can appreciate the Mega-ness of them. Kind of a squad of UnDredd.
ReplyDeleteAn 'UnDredd Mook Squad'. I LIKE it! :) Thanks John!
DeleteSnazzy. They really do look the part, be they for Judge Dredd or some 30K or 40K B-reel. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteB-Grade they are. Cheers Robert!
DeleteGreat work on these Mooks my friend! I had to google the meaning of the word, but yes, I think you nailed it with these fellas.
ReplyDeleteHaha, thank you Nick.
DeleteSome inspired paintwork Curt!
ReplyDeleteThank you Sander!
DeleteReally nice work Curt and I really do like the look of the ruins around them.
