Fallout Wasteland Warfare Auto Turrets

 

I needed some auto turrets quickly painted for the d20 home grown rpg game of fallout. So, I grabbed the minis I had purchased before, grabbed some brown, dark green and light green spray paint cans and began given them a makeover.

I used the brown for the base, then the dark green for the second lighter coat and finally the light green I used as a zenith highlight. That took about ten or so minutes to dry. I then dry brushed the gun barrels and the ammo drums on the top of the guns in a gun metal silver. Once dry, it was time to give them an Agrax Earthshade wash. Mercifully, they were dry for the game that evening.

It gave the players a hell of a shock when the threw open the doors to a mess hall and these things opened up on them. Quick reflexes saved their characters. But more on that in another post.

Bloatflies for Fallout

 

As I noted in last post, I needed some standard Bloatflies for use in our homegrown d20 Fallout roleplaying game. These blighters come from Armorcast Miniatures, who unfortunately no longer ship to Australia (which sucks because he still has an order of mine that he never sent me). Anyway, at least I have several former orders from him that I have stored away, including these Bloatflies. So here they are ready for the upcoming adventure.

Now, for auto-turrets...

Feral Ghoul proxies from Zombicide

 

Happy New Year everyone.

I needed some feral ghoul proxies for our upcoming home grown d20 Fallout roleplaying game adventure that I was going to subject the players to. These feral ghouls needed to look like former soldiers who had suffered from too much radiation exposure. Looking around my supply of mini's I came across my Zombicide mini's and felt that these would do nicely. So, I painted up a bunch of these guys in military fatigue colours. This included a bloated zombie to be used in one of the boss fights they will eventually encounter. So here they are finally finished.






Now, I need some turrets and some standard Bloatflies...

Fezzik

 

Happy New Year's Eve everyone. One last post for the year!

One of the players for our homebrew d20 Fallout rpg campaign wanted to be a melee heavy PC. So I discussed with him the option to be a former wrestler who ended up in the Vault. He liked that idea, and I already had the Princess Bridge boardgame (for the miniatures of course), so it seemed natural to me that I would bring out Fizzik as his player character. I had this guy in mind for my fantasy game with the kids as an NPC follower. But he would also work equally as well as a strong arm for the Fallout group. So here he is painted up, ready for the table.

In honour of the memory of Andre the Giant, I give you Fizzik.





Happy New Year everyone!

Clappy


We have been prepping to play a game of my homebrew D20 rules for Fallout and one of the NPC's the players will have to support them in their journey out of the Vault is Clappy. A CL4P-TP Claptrap unit. Bit of a cross-over there, but I thought, "Hey, why not! There are other automatons in Fallout. I want to include Claptrap units." So Clappy will be assisting the newbs in being able to unlock terminals and open terminal locked doors as they are venturing into an old military outpost. So, here's Clappy.





Anyway. As we close out the year, may you have a wonderful New Year's break and see you again in 2023!

Luke 2:8-15 (NIV)

8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Saviour has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”

13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,

14 “Glory to God in the highest heaven,
    and on earth peace to those on whom his favour rests.”

15 When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”

 

May you have a safe, relaxing, blessed and wonderful Christmas. Thanks for stopping by this year and having a look around at my terrible painting exploits. Hope you found something inspiring.
