I'm still struggling a bit with the terrain setup and scenario design of my Fallout 3 game for the GZG convention in a few weeks. So I talked things over with my 7 year old son and started placing figures on the board. It was missing something. It had monsters and settlers from Megaton and Vault 101 police, but I don't have any raiders painted up. I really didn't feel like painting a few dozen raiders, so I painted up some Enclave baddies.
Now I know what you're going to say, those don't look like the Enclave from the game. Yes, you're right, but I just love these figures and they have the right feel to me. They are the Khurasan Control battalion. Even better, Jon at Khurasan just came out with another pack of these bad boys. I basically copied the color scheme from the painted examples on his website, so I don't get any points for originality. I do however feel I did a job I can be proud of on the painting.
I also had some large power armor figures from GZG that I thought would work well in this universe. So I painted them using the same color scheme to tie them all together. They came out pretty nice in the end.
I think I will get a lot of mileage out of these figures, They might just be my new favorite scifi army (don't tell the other figures or they will get jealous). I'd like to use them for "Ghost in the Shell" style Anime themed games as well.
Now I just need some Brotherhood of Steel Figures, I have some primed SciFi Germans from Eureka that should do the job.
Hi Mark. I've just posted up some pictures of vault security guys I've been working on on my own blog. Those Control battalion guys might not look like Enclave, but they've definately got that sinister vibe going for them. I reckon they more than do the job. Lovely job on the painting too.
ReplyDeleteNice work Mark, I like the look of the Control battalion minis.
ReplyDeleteAre the GZGs power armor figures the new NAC sculpts?
Khurasan Riflethings are great, they totally fit as a "higher-tech" Fallout faction. The other guys almost remind me of mini versions of Tau Battlesuits or something.
ReplyDeleteNice job. I really like the Khurasan Riflethings. You did a great paintjob on them and the GZG power armor.
ReplyDeleteVery nice work, everybody loves a riflething!
