Jet Girl

 With We Print Miniatures Junk Girl already in the Orlock Gang I was looking for a female mini in We Print Miniatures female section I found Future War Mechanic that looks close to how Tank Girl's friend Jet Girl. So of course Jet Girl has joined Sharp's Company.

I gave her an ushabati bone base coat, skin was the contrast paint.

The overalls /g suit has had a base coat of dark green and a Coelia Greenshade wash. 

I need to do a bit of research on Jet Girl's hair and shirt, as well as checking what an actual g suit looks. 

Orlock Gang Boosted

 

Behold The Compensator has arrived! 

As Ricci is a bit of a knock off of Tank Girl (comic book not film) and it's satirical slant on macho comics from the 90's a tank with a massive cannon was a must, the fact I've wanted a reason to buy one of this version of the Russ for years was a happy coincidence.

A brief bit of background on the tank. 

Lost in the Ash Wastes. Found on the outskirts of a tank battalion training ground, just don't ask about the rusty brown stains inside the tank and those bullet sized dents in the crew compartment, retrieved, stashed and forgotten about at the distant Orlock mining outpost of Dead Rat. Rediscovered by Ricci as a kid, she got the engine firing after months of tinkering. A serviceable tank bought her out of the 2 options of mining or "hostess" and onto a Cinderjack road crew.

The house have told her they haven't been able to get any shells for the main gun, but have found some paint shots, the battle cannon is good for 1 shot and the heavy bolters have a semi reliable supply of ammo. There's a nagging doubt in Ricci's mind that the Cinderjack nobles might actually have more ammunition for the tank but don't want to give it to the daughter of prostitute and some unknown miner, and if another push by Cinderjack nobles to take over the Orlock Clan comes the the nobles might try to come for her tank. 

Ricci has made a couple of mods to the engine since she got it working (need the Outlands book for this one).

I kind of ran out steam at that point.

The Wreckers box also arrived yesterday, which means I have a GW female body I can build if I ever take this gang down to Preston or Warhammer World, or give her a bigger gun than the first stubber she currently has. 

Imperium Cannoness

 I've had to go and start ordering Imperium from Forbidden Planet as it's no longer being sent to my local shop, and it's been so popular that Hatchett aren't taking new subscriptions.

This landed last week but I left it alone until after the 12th, making a start on it on Monday. Painting wise I'm following the instructions for the Space Wolf Primaris Intercessors.

I got all the washes done last night and the Russ Grey layer on the robes and armour this morning before I set off for work. 

Working a 12 hour shift today and an eleven hour shift tomorrow I'm aiming to get the gold done before work in the morning and getting the high lights done on Thursday when I'm off work. 

Overall the plan with these is to fold them into the Björn Meta Crisis thing, I've ordered a Morvenn Vann to be the counts as Björn in the nundam and plan to paint them up as Valkyrie of Fenris, warrior women that fight alongside their Astartes brothers and have done since the day Leman Russ was united with his Legion. 

Monthly Vow 12th Of June To The 12th Of July

 

The Monthly Vow day is today, let's see how I did with the last one.

I dropped the Stormcast thing as it didn't have enough feet as the base went missing, and We Print Miniatures look to have stopped producing their not Duela Dent so that got swopped, but everything else got done. 

For next month, I need to get a couple of Orlock things, I want the Wreckers box and the Forge World minis as I feel like having a GW mini for the gang leader would be a good idea. And I bought Ricci a tank as well... So there's that to paint as well as the rest of the 1000 credit gang. 

Review Time 

The first thing to get painted this month was the Watcher in the Dark to finish off the Terminator squad from last month. 

I got my new photo set up sorted and did a few up graded photos. 

As someone had asked how the orginal dread measured up to the later versions. 

I got the first Quad bike built for Ricci's Company. I did have to wait for some magnets to mount the wheels on as I wasn't happy gluing them to bike.

I made a start on the 2nd quad, the Orlock bases and the judge from We Print Miniatures that is an alternative leader for my Enforcers.

The Ukrainian support miniatures from Victoria Miniatures landed, and got put aside.

The second quad was finished for Ricci's Company. 

The second of the We Print Miniatures Junk Girl was painted up how the youngest had asked for.

The Warhammer Community page on Facebook has asked for the mini you are most proud of so I dug Gregor Fell Hands out and shared a new photo. 

The next up was the replacement for the Grand Master of the Masque Of the Breaking Dawn, as I painted this green, I also did the judge.

I can swop the gun over from the over mini, and let's hope I don't drop this one. 

The alternative patrol Leader got painted up for the Enforcers and looks suspiciously like an Oz City Judge from 2000AD.

The last thing to get done was the last 4 of the Enforcers, and the sniper rifle. 

With these 4 I have this gang at 1000 credits and have an alternative leader for 11 minis

Patrol Alpha

 

I had some time this week as I'm still off with Covid.

I only got these guys finished today after doing bits and bobs on them during the week. 

As I packed them away I got the other 5 out to get a big group out. 

Not A GW Day.

 

Finished off the highlights abd and handily the seraphim sepia wash and yeril yellow arrived yesterday morning for me to get the fixings on the coat and bodice finished after of course highlighting the bodice and stockings. Now I just need to get this one in the box without dropping her. 

As I was highlighting green on the coat I did the same on the judge for the Enforcers. 

I gave the boots and pads a base coat of Averland Sunset with a Fuegan orange wash, then a layer of yeril yellow with a flash git yellow final highlight 

He is a little bit taller, so I'm planning on getting around that point by saying he was recruited from a Goliath Sector. 

The last pic is of a 2000 AD Oz City Judge, I'm not sure if the mate that suggested the colours has even read 2000AD or not, but that's spooky.
