First post for my first time challenge! I have painted six modern adventurers who are exploring "The Zone", a mysterious area in unspecified Eastern Europe. For some reason these guys jumped up past the 4th C. Goths I originally planned to start with.
From left to right:
 |
| Simeon the Scrounger, Handy Javik, Natalie Halovna, Andrei Peshtov, Vas "the Boy", and Kid Czerno. |
These guys and girl are all in a mish-mash of tactical gear and weaponry, which was good fun to paint. Some jazzy camo patterns were suitably dulled down with washes made from acrylic ink and AK fluid matte varnish. The various lenses are not accurate or tactical, but I like the pop of colour and texture they add. They were done with Tamiya clear red and yellow.
These are the start of a small collection of figures for Zona Alfa and similar games. The models are 28mm from Anvil Industry (from a whole variety of packs), 3d printed by myself.
6x28mm infantry: 30 points.
I also believe this qualifies for 1x Squirrel Point.
Probably need to crack on with some Goths now......

First, welcome to the Challenge, Killian! It's always a pleasure to have new people join in on the madness, and for all of us to enjoy looking at new brushwork and toys!
Excellent work on this post-apoc squad. The figures really have that Metro 2033/STALKER vibe going on. I also like the desiccated ash waste groundwork - very on-theme. I haven't checked out Anvil Industry in ages and am bewildered by how much their stocklist has grown - thanks for the tip!
These half-dozen ZONE adventurers will give you 30 points towards your Challenge target. Well done!
They look suitably grim. Like the basing
ReplyDeleteAn excellent first ever submission, Killian. They look suitably battle hardened. Well done.
ReplyDeleteZona Alfa is a lot of fun, and these poor souls look perfect for it. The various greens and browns give them a real scavenger feel.
ReplyDelete(Don't forget to add the Squirrel label to your posts.)
Thanks! Post has now been be-squirrelled.
DeleteReally great work on these!
ReplyDeleteLove the colours and those lenses! Hope we see more zone denizens...

ReplyDeleteWelcome to the challenge Killian, a great start with this entry
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge Killian - great to have you with us!
ReplyDeleteA fine start with this assorted lot - but my favourite part is the short remark wondering at how this project suddenly jumped ahead in your painting queue? I think many of us can relate :)
Welcome this is a strong first entry! I like these modern day Adventures/Mercs. Great work!
ReplyDeleteVery nice work. The faces are great. I like the lenses as well. I've been eyeing these STLs but seeing yours makes a future purchase certain.
ReplyDeleteSuitably dark and brooding-great start
