I like them, but fail to see how they could be part of a convoy

Only really liked the Dog and the big dude with the chainsaw, but I have to echo the you could do way better than those Andy sentiment... The rest of the mini's in that collection are just filler, no real character to them, even with the great paintjobs that they've been given.

The detailing looks incredibly soft, if you look at the paintwork its almost like they painted some areas just to give them more defenition.

The dog looks ok but I don't like the bionic legs or whatever they are.

These are more a scavenger gang, I mean the chick has a homemade bra!

I say start with a not-lemmy as a boss and take it from there. Possibly in the same vein as the trenchies, with seperate heads so that for some of the basic types some simple head swaps will mean you can have multiples.

I quite like the guy with the chainsaw - but why does everything post apocalyptic have to be armed with chainsaws ? The damned things run on petrol which I gather would be in short supply and therefore like golddust  :shrug:

it really should be all machetes, shivs, rusty pipes, sticks (ideally with nails, bones, animal teeth etc embedded one way or another), slingshots and so on. I don't quite get it either. I somewhat understand it in zombie stuff but even then petrol is precious. But chainsaws do have the whole <insert whiny teenager 'but mom...' voice>"it's cool.."</insert whiny teenager 'but mom...' voice> thing going for them.

Still a more improvised selection of hitting sticks should get some representation I concur.

And they plough through oil for lubricant like there's no tomorrow, they'd need constant resharpening, very temperamental machines. Now a lawnmower would be an easier petrol machine to maintain. Anyone seen Peter Jackson's classic "Braindead", gotta love the rat-monkey.

The only film I have had to turn off while eating goulash.

Its the Sumatran Rat Monkey btw... a reference from Sherlock Holmes


Andy avoid the Rag tag post apoc barbarian look.....

Mcfonz made a great suggestion

A Trucker Caste system

Truckers.... Lemmy...





but with a sci fi twist

Support

the redneck style.. tattier like



and the untouchables.... the guys that do the most dangerous work, wear hazmat suits looks space trucker sci fi.

All three are different from anyone elses concept

i would think about buying the dog but the rest no

Yeah, that.  And the dog's ruined by the pegleg...

Technically well done in places, but boring with it.  I'm bored of the Necromunda post-apunkalypse 'n' chainsaws style, too.

Proceed Mr. Foster.
