Boxfort Specials & Meks

Here are the latest two gangs for Boxfort. 

A quick catch up. Boxfort is a Enclave in my Modern Post Apoc setting (After The End) based in the ruins of Liverpool of what was the UK. 

First up:The Specials. 

The Specials are Bossman's version of a Special Forces unit. Before the end they where all members of various Elite military units. They get sent to remove those who get in the Boxfort's way or in the Bossman's vision of rebuilding the world. 

The Specials are Empress SAS and a couple of converted Empress Downed Pilots. 

The Boxfort Meks. 

The Meks are the guys who keep Boxfort running. They see to the Enclave's mechanical, electrical and engineering needs. Like all Boxfort gangs the Meks also step up for defense of the Enclave. 

The figs L to R - EM4 (converted Biker), Copplestone, Copplestone, Hetzerdog (OOP), Hetzerdog (OOP) and EM4. 

The Meks where dug out of the figure collection.

New Additions to the Liverpool Wastelands.

I have finally managed to get some hobby stuff done. These guys are the Empress Modern British Downed Air Crew figures. They fitted the bill as they are wearing the latest kit and there is a SA80 in there, much needed for a modern British Post Apoc setting such as my own After the End setting. I added hoods and hair to make them look more like PA survivors. 

First up is a member of the feared Boxfort Specials. Rumor has it that some of these guys were members of various special forces units before the end. Today the carry out dangerous and often secret missions for Boxfort's Bossman. 


This is my first attempts at the modern UK camouflage pattern. Comments and Criticism greatly appreciated. 


Long hair was added from greenstuff putty. 

Next up another character from the Scouseland Enclave. 

A putty hood was added to this figure to keep in with the Stalkers from Scouseland. 



I have another set of these figures which have had similar conversions which will be gracing my table soon. In addition is a Empress SAS set which have a mix of military and civilian clothes which would make a great Post Apoc Security team.

Introducing the Gangs of Boxfort

I have been cobbling some gangs together for my modern Post Apoc from my collection. First up the Enclave of Boxfort. 

Boxfort was founded in a wreck of a cargo ship that was washed inland and marooned by a tsunami during the apocalypse. The survivors and crew got quickly organised looting the shipping containers that had also been washed inland. Soon they had built a fortress of these metal boxes and had access to all manner of supplies and equipment. This included an arms and equipment shipment destined for some country far away. All this made Boxfort a superpower in the local wastelands. What use are shotguns against assault rifles and machine guns? 


Above is the Boxfort Guardians. This crew guard the walls and gate. They also provide the Bossman with muscle to enforce law and order within the walls. 

The minis are a mix of old (OOP) Hetzerdog Babylons Burning, EM4/Grenadier, (OOP) Grenadier, Copplestone and Kallistra. 

Skull's Scavengers
Skull's Scavengers  (or just the Skulls) are Boxfort's scavenger crew. These guys head out into the ruins to locate supplies and bring them home. The Skulls benefited from a hulk that drifted into the estuary which was carrying a large consignment of old Russian weapons. The hulk had been drifting since the Apocalyse. Who knows where it came from? Boxfort boarded the hulk and ran it aground near by (which now serves as a home to the Rusties gang). The Skulls will join the Guardians when Boxfort is threatened. 

The minis are from Lead Adventure Miniatures. 
Doc Cosmic's Crew


Old Doc Cosmic (he isn't a real Doctor you know!) is Bossman's right  hand man  and is Boxfort's trader. This mob serve as his security. You wanna trade, then you better behave. As this lot are his boys they are equipped with quality weapons. They some times go beyond the metal walls to find something "special" for Doc Cosmic. Like all of Boxfort's gangs they offer support when the fortress is threatened. 

The minis are Paurdulon's Ragged Mercenaries. Doc Cosmic is a converted EM4 trooper. 

Maxies Girls


Maxie runs the Red Light Bar and Brothel in Boxfort. The world's oldest industry is still around. Scavengers and traders pay handsomely to visit the Red Light. Maxie keeps a close eye on the girls and punters. Besides you don't want to cross these girls, they are armed and dangerous. Like all the gangs in Boxfort, Maxies Girls offer support when Boxfort is threatened. 

Minis are a mix of (OOP) Amazon Girls with guns, Foundry, GZG, Malfuix and Foundry. 

There is at least one more gang to add to this Enclave. I would like to add a couple of figures with SA80 rifles and current British military kit.
