I decided to go with two hand flamers, and two heavy stubbers. The heavies use the relatively new genestealer neophyte stubbers. They're ridiculously big, even by 40k standards, but I didn't want to take the time or spend the money trying to get Necromunda bits from the olden days. The standard pole is from the Flagellant kit, with a foil banner. The banner is part painted, part waterslide transfer. I swapped some weapons and heads around as well.
I also painted the metal shrine that came with the old Sisters of Battle boxed army.
My militia group uses a few models from the VOID game, which will serve as Frateris or general mooks and rebels as needed. I like the look of these models a lot. I painted two new ones for the group.
Lastly, a group shot showing an Imperial Preacher whipping the crowd up for a crusade.
Years and years of LAL has instilled in you a natural ability to capture oodles of atmosphere in every photograph. The diversity of set design in your repertoire is staggering. Love the tiny banner, it looks great.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I've come a long way since the early LPL entries! I've done close to 80 scenes for the LPL over the years, quite a few of those included a new scenery piece for the shoot. That makes for a good collection and lots of practice taking photos :)
DeleteThose first years... some of those scenes took 20+ pictures to get right and way too much time.
Very nice indeed! You don't see many of those around these days.
ReplyDeleteThose backdrops are fantastic btw, how did you do the posters? The Darmok one is particularly cool!
Thanks :)
DeletePosters are just printed out on an inkjet and Mod-Podged onto the wall. I found the Darmok one on a 28mm poster compilation sheet. There's a bunch out there, I can send you some if you'd like.
Great additions. I got a little thrill from seeing the old Confrontation hand flamers being used. Where are your heads from by the way? You've got some nice, grim bald heads that I don't recognise. They're perfect on these conversions
ReplyDeleteIf anyone was going to recognize those hand flamers it would be you ;)
DeleteHeads are resin from MaxMini and Mad Robot, I think one of the stubber heads is from the Cadian Command Squad.
What a brilliant group. The different figures all fit together really well and the conversions add some nice subtle diversity to the group. Great stuff.
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
DeleteFantastic as always! Those VOID figures fit in very nicely.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I love the VOID militia, some of my favorite generic sci-fi figs out there.
DeleteAwesome work on these miniatures! They look fantastic. I love the subtle but effective colour scheme. Clearly civilians, yet tied-together visually through the limited palette. Your brush work is incredibly neat & the material texture effects are brilliant.
ReplyDeleteThanks pawn, this is my cool tone group. I have another 20 militia that will get warm tones :)
DeleteTerrific work. The group looks integrated and cohesive, but not too much to the extent to look military grade uniforms. I believe this is amazing. The last pic says it all. Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I try!
