Undead legionnaires

Warzone stuff rulez! 🤘🏻

The initial plan was to paint another Corporate team for battle report game, but after I found these rotten fellas on the bottom of Warzone-junk-jar, I just couldn't stop myself. These deaders represent the first (blue armour) and the second (red guns) edition of the game. The naked one is kinda mystery model - if I remember correctly is was sold packed by three models (the other one was painted 10 years ago). No idea who sculpted this, but it's just 100% full of oldschool vibe. Brings back lots of memories.

While these minis were being undercoated I just wanted to add them to existing squads, so there's horde of space zombies in the battle report. But after closer examination it turned out, these sculpts were just too cool to deserve tabletop painting only. Each and every one has lots of juicy details making paintwork pure pleasure. Maybe except for the one with red gun and loincloth. This is weirdo even for Warzone standards. It actually look more like some cosmo-goblin, rather then proper animated corpse. But I guess Dark Apostles aren't picky when it comes to gathering forces.

Looking at them now I got that feeling they are RPG characters, rather just undead cannon fodder. Hope to find more of them and cannot wait to see them raging on the battlefield! 💀

So here they are: storming squad led by golem of darkness:


And here - the same squad about to be scorched by Cybertronic Eradicator Deathdroid:


And the fresh corpses...

Fuel dump

I was actually hoping for painting some corporate mercenaries for the coming Warzone game, but somehow decision was made to add some terrain features for battle report purpose. A while back I made scenic backdrop with with some terrain bits on it (like the one behind secret kohorts unit) but it turned out that static terrain doesn't help much. Big models or large units cannot be arranged as easily as I was hoping for, so all in all I could use only the middle part of the base.

To fix that I removed  the terrain pieces and re-sanded the base so it's fully available for models. Spare parts were placed on separate base as some post-apo fuel station or something. The big one is from Ramshackle games set - you can find lots of supercool stuff there, especially for vehicles and terrain building.  

So here it is: fuld dump based on oil drums set defended by Cybertronic chasseurs:



So here's the base with no crap on it:



And objective marker for the coming game!




See you in the field 💂
