Carter Special Agents (Nick Michaels & Quatto)

After crossing off the list Cryx robo-chicken hybrid I decided to take a step back and work on some old farts from oldie Warzone line. I still have lots of these beauties waiting for some care but this time I decided to save something really ugly from the abyss of oblivion: 

special agent Nick Michaels and field medic. They both are going to reinforce RPG based Cartel Agents squad.

It took me about a week to start painting after these two were dragged out from acid bath and undercoated. For years, I mean like 15-20 years (!) I was pretty sure Nick Michaels is one of the most horrid sculpts from Warzone line ever made, so I had no steam even to point a brush in direction of that piece. 

Thank Satan I was just so wrong!

After working a bit on it turned out there's pretty cool, oldschool model there! Sure it's kinda static but who cares? It was spawned in 1996! It's weapons are clumsy but hey - just check armament in WH 40000 world 🙄 And it has Dune Nukem's face!

The other guy is supposed to be Michaels' sidekick / team medic. It's pretty simple sculpt but pretty evecathing - bright armour contrasting with dark elements always looks cool. It's face is kinda weird though - reminds me Quatto from original Total Recall movie. See? 😁





Really looking forward to find some more corporate models from Warzone line to add some more Doom Troopers to the team! The family pic: death squad supported by Mishima merc:

See ya in the past!

  1. Wow, what a paintjob! :O I find both of them enjoyable. Knowing nothing of Warzone's lore (the little stuff I learnt back in the day is long gone), my association of ideas leads me to identify the first one with the Highlander movie, which is obviously cool! About the other one... dammit! I cannot unsee Kuato now!! XD

    1. Thank you ,Sir!

      Somehow I cannot get myself to start painting "modern" miniatures. I know these are technological marvel, yet giving some shine to old junk is much more fun 😊

  3. Hard to tell which one of them has more ugly face. The green visor on the helmet is awesome.
