War Party!! (The Outlanders) 17/04

Mason

Member
I am embarking on a new range of sci-fi figures that I intend to use in games of Inquisimunda, Necromunda and skirmish RT as well as in a setting of my own that I will be developing.
The range will be based on a frontier world called Outland,on the edge of human space, that has lost contact with Earth several centuries ago, not long after the initial colonisation.
Most of the original colonists spread out, forming farming communities and banding together in hunter-gatherer bands, with very few remaining in the few towns spread across the planet.
The original landing site is the location of the only settlement that may be termed a 'city' and a very small one it that.
Named Landfall, it houses the only spaceport worthy of the name and is also the seat of the Imperial Governor and his garrison.

The first figures in the range will be centred around the settlers which form the majority of the population, representing either a hunter gatherer war party, or the militia of one of the smaller settlements scattered across the face of the world. These people refer to themselves collectively as 'Outlanders'.

The Outlanders.

Nice models. The sculpts connect very well to the background story.

Thank you!
I was beginning to think that no-one was interested in this at all, so am doubly grateful for your comment.
:grin:

There are quite a few more things planned with this project but I will reveal things as progression allows.
I really need to get some paint on these fellas first.

Re: The Outlanders

Thanks.
:)

I am hoping to get a few of them finished this week as progress has stalled due to illness but I really want to get some of the painting done now.
I will probably finish the Merchant and Porters first, with various different 'loads' for the Porters to make after that.

Re: The Outlanders

I have finally gotten around to (rather sloppily) slapping some paint on some of the figures, beginning with the Merchant and his Porters...

Now I just need to make some 'loads' for them to carry.

Hopefully the next lot, as I want quite a few of them for my games, will look better....

Re: The Outlanders

Well, I took a delve into my 'clutter bits box' and put some loads together.

Firstly, a 'sensible' load.....

...which I will use on one of the later figures, but it does not seem right for sci-fi to me so I made a few 'not so sensible' versions.....

...which seem more appropriate to me.

Hi-Ho!

I, for one, would love to see your take on these.

This fella is going to double up as Inquisitor Snoop and his Doggs in our I-Munda campaign.

Nice work, I'm particularly fond of the cyber-hounds.

Loving those 3 ! I agree the cyberhounds are particularly appealing but the Inquisitor is also a model full of potential uses.

Thanks, chaps.
Much appreciated.

I agree with you , sir, as this particular version is intended for use as both an Inquisitor in our I-Munda games and a Marshall for my Outland setting, but the next one that I paint up will be the leader of a Scavvy gang for Necromunda.
He is deliberately quite generic (as all of them will be... ;) ).

Re: Big Loads (The Outlanders) 10/03

I finished off the 'loads' for the first two of the Porters...

Another angle...

The next couple will have smaller loads, but I need to finish off some of the Outlander figures first.

Female Nomads (The Outlanders) 11/03

I have started to paint some of the Outland Warriors, beginning with a couple of the female members of the band.

As someone else will be painting a group up in the 'official' buckskin colours I have opted to paint some differently in more garish gear to represent a different type of band.
These will represent a nomad band in the Outlanders setting, which will double up as a Scavenger/Ash Waste gang in our Necromunda games...

Outfitted in much brighter clothing than some of the other groups on Outland, the Nomad culture favours brighter clothing which has often seen better days once exposed to the elements for a while.

Great ! I have some of those ready for priming as soon as I get an opportunity with the weather !
I love the pale skintones and colours for the clothes.
 
Re: Female Nomads (The Outlanders) 11/03

Those female nomads are really nice and I like the colors you have chosen instead of "skin" browns. I also think they could fit in a Russian-like context - for example as alternative Imperial Guard Valhallan Ice Warriors.

I look forward to it.
Even if it does mean that I have to make some form of sacrifice to the weather gods.

Valhallans!
I had not even thought of that angle.
Cheers!
