Deadzone Marauders #1

“Rainmaker” Class Ripper Suit
I have been painting greenskins over Xmas, with getting a force ready to play Deadzone being the main motivation. The first of these finished are these two heavily armoured “Ripper Suits” and two of the rank and file Commandos.

Epic Ork Stormboyz

Epic / 6mm Blood Axe Stormboyz
“Raz” on the Lead Adventure Forum was working on some Epic Stormboyz, planning to add smoke plumes coming from the jump packs. I remembered that I had these guys packed away and decided to take a photo for reference. So I decided to put the photo up here. I think that they still look cool seventeen years later.
The photo is gigantic by the way, mostly because that way you can see the camo pattern that I painted on them back in 1997 🙂

Hammer Time

L to R: Steel Warrior, Huscarl, Stormrage Veteran
I try to avoid going back to work on miniatures that are already based, varnished and photographed. Its hard to justify returning to acceptably finished items when I have so many other things waiting for paint.
I made an exception with this Huscarl, Steel Warrior and Stormrage Veteran though. Something about the plain old metal paint job on the hammers on these miniatures was bugging me. They were too fantasy looking and not science-fantasy enough, although I admit thats a pretty fine, almost non-existent line.
So I added some red glowing bits to the hammers. Rather than paint them glowing from within like lava as most ForgeFather heat hammers are done I painted a couple of bits of the weapons sort of like a red LED, like a lot of the techie trim on my Ursa Miner models. It also ties them to Dark Lord Prowse a little more, although that is more of a happy coincidence than anything else.

Nameless Spawn – DreadBall Giant/MVP
Posted on 18/11/2013 by sho3box
Nameless Spawn
My first DreadBall Giant figure is this guy, a Nameless (as in the DreadBall/Warpath/Deadzone faction) Spawn that I finished over the weekend. He doesn’t have a proper name. Im leaning towards christening the big fella “Lester”.

Death Ferrets
Posted on 28/10/2013 by sho3box
Death Ferrets
Games Workshop sold a 40K Death Ferret once upon a time. It was an unremarkable ferret model packaged with a gyrinx and a jokaero. I have never located rules or background for the Death Ferret (but if anyone reading this knows anything about either then get in touch please), but space ferrets seemed like a good entry for my Alien Flora and Fauna project.
