Gamma Goons!

   The Paint-A-Matron 3000 has been working hard over the last week here at S.M.H.I.T., and it's time to share a few of the new additions, along with some other recent figures I've painted for my ongoing Gamma World campaign.

   To begin we have some fine figures from Copplestone Castings, appearing in a soon-to-come Gamma World adventure titled The Legion of Gold. The leader of the Legion is a nifty little robot in a tuxedo, from the News Team and Minders pack from Copplestone's Future Wars range.  

The enigmatic master of the Legion of Gold

   This group of legionnaires (and, believe me, there are more!), is made up of Terminator Robots from the same Future Wars collection. Tamiya gold spray and Army Painter Dark Tone created a fast, striking gold effect on these guys.
 

Just a handful of the dread Legion of Gold

   More goodness from the Future Wars range -- These blue-grey fellows are from the Grey Aliens pack.

Take us to your tailor!

   ...and this massive beast is their bodyguard, the Bio-Mech Alien.

Say, that's a big blade you have there.

   Recently I converted up a batch of figures for Gamma World, specifically chickenoidz and the famous (and silly) vegepygmies. For the mutant chickens I used GorkaMorka orks and Kroot plastic bits to get the right look of birdlike but hulking.

Choppy chikenoidz.

Shooty chikenoidz.

   For the leader I went with a straight-up Kroot shaper, and for the massive super-chikenoid I used the body of a Heroclix Hulk!

Hulk Sma... Um... Err.. Bwak!!

   For the vegepygmies I scrounged some plastic demon figures from a (truly dreadful) boardgame I knew I would never play again.With a liberal application of flock I turned them into instant killer plants.

Killer bushes from space!

   Supporting the vegepygmies in their reign of leafy terror are massive plant creatures called thornies. Digging around in my closet I found three fen beasts I'd been saving for a rainy decade. Turns out they make great thornies!

I knew I had these models for some reason.

   Finally I just wanted to show off a little guy who has another key role in my Gamma World game. He's an old figure from Ral Partha's ancient Shadowrun miniature line. If I remember correctly he came with a dragon, but the dragon is long gone.

Zeeg's papa.

   Robots and chikenz and plants! Oh, my!

Thanks again for stopping by!
