Crusty fame

Just a quick one today, and moving away from the recent spate of 28mm and Blood Bowl posts.

By Dagger or Talon, the first supplement for Tomorrow's War, was just released.

I'm chuffed to say that one of the many illustrations is of my humble GZG Crusties. There are many beautiful and inspiring pictures in the book, and it's really nice to be included amongst them!

Space Pals

I had way too much fun painting these 'Space Pals' from Highlander. I think the 'Space Pals and Nemesis' set was renamed 'Bounty Hunter, Sasquatch, and Smuggler', and the other set is 'Kendo Masters and Student'. (edit: should that be master and students?) These guys painted up nice and quick- an advantage of 15mm.

This was my first attempt at OSL, and I'm reasonably happy. I was inspired by dis- check out his great blog! The droid is from GZG's Workbots pack, with the top shaved down.

Coincidentally, this week I also received a set of X-Wing ships for the game which is the new hotness- this pic via BoardGameGeek is too good not to share:

 Pew pew!

'A new life awaits you in the Off-World Colonies'

Some pictures of packs of GZG 15mm civilians. They've got that classic well-fed look, but are full of character.

Pack SG15 V01 Colonists A. 

 Pack SG15 V02 Colonists B.- a more space-western look.

Pack SG15 V03. Young colonists.

Pack SG15 V04. Technicians.

I enjoyed painting these. They were my first effort at 15mm SF, and I used them to practice with achieving effects and highlights before embarking on 'more serious' projects. I like civilians in my games to add colour and flavour. 

On a technical note, I'm going to try to standardise new photos so they are clearer and not so blue-hued. Also, I'll work on making them 'clickable' so you can see them closer.
