15mm GZG Bots

Hello!

still waiting to play 5150... but I finally have been able to put my brushes on some of the 15mm minis I had to paint! I'm still working on GZG Crusties, but I managed to finalize some of their awesome robots!

Spider bots are fantastic sculpts and a joy to paint; I had no idea how to base them (euro cents were too small!), then I found out some metal washers  which are just perfect and make them look powerful:

I decided to paint them blue, kind of "police/security bots"... I quite like the way they look:

Next are a couple of "Johnny 5"style robots I painted with the green color scheme I used for some of my Critical Mass ARC Fleet:

I still have few minis from GZG, then I'll probably need to refill with some more 15mm... and probably will be ZOMBIES!!

Cheers,
Andrea

Toys, 2HW and Mad Max

Hi,

might be because they're my job, but I love toys and think they are always a great resource for modelling and wargaming: they often offer very cheap still passable solutions for a geek everyday's needs.

I have been thinking for a long time about a 28mm post-apocalyptic skirmish (Fallout style) but did not know what to use for it, until..

1) I found Javier's Fallout campaing system for CR2 on 2HWyahoo group -fxxxxxing incredible.
2) got NUTS from Ed -fxxxxxing amazing.
3) buyed 5150 Star Army -fxxxxxing awesome.

Mixing the 3 things (campaign, loot/special rules from Javier GREAT work, scifi weapon armors from 5150, clunky gear and focus of a party of guys against all the world from NUTS) I'm sure it will come out a great game!

Now, back to the minis, I ordered for different pourposes a bag of 80 Warzone plastic minis from Prince August (I'm waiting for them to come). they look great in my opinion and are a perfect base for tons of conversions; then I took some cheap toys to create some further stuff...

This very ignorant brute for instance...

... is wip to become a Behemoth SuperMutant!

This nice toy car...

...is going to run on wasteland's roads!

 Will update,

Cheers,
Andrea
