I have vague ideas about playing Fallout single player, coop, or just with a bunch of NPCs on the board. That gives me an excuse to paint (and buy) everything. The main starter box gives a start for the super mutants. Here are a few more.
Super Mutant Brute
Like in the two-player starter, the Brute’s hammer was a bit bent. I was able to mostly reshape this resin model with heat. I didn’t end up needing to replace the shaft entirely like the PVC starter box model.
Super Mutant Master
The Master is the one unique guy in the box, at least according to the stat cards. He has a nice hat.
Disappointingly, these are the same sculpts, down to the base, as in the two-player starter. I went with a different paint scheme so they can be used as Fiends. Or just to be different.
The box comes with three generic “Super Mutants”. I decided to keep one in reserve for future conversions.
When I decided to give Underworlds a try, I went around to get what discontinued Shadespire warbands I could find without markup. Many of the first season warbands are highly usable as general fantasy models. Case in point, the skeletal Sepuchral Guard.
The Sepulchral Warden
I went a little further weathering armor, using Secret Weapon’s verdigris and rust paints. The green on the armor contrasts nicely with the red cloak.
The Champion
The bones is GW Contrast Skeleton Horde over a zenithal white primer, with some extra highlights.
The Harvester
I experimented using a Vallejo Buff under the Skeleton Horde on the Harvester. It’s far too yellow for my taste, but not enough to paint over it.
The Prince of Dust
In game, these guys thing seems to be getting re-summoned. In fact, that’s how they Inspire. They don’t have as much mobility as the Nightvault high model count undead, the Nighthaunts.
Scheduled for release at Adepticon this year, the Gilblin Fishers come in pairs (both as models, and as. But Metal King, stretching their evil genius muscles, offered them at a discount in a six-pack. And why buy two when you can buy six?
I quickly painted up the first pair, but the rest had to wait their turn.
They are single piece metal models, which means you’d need to be creative to repose them for more variety. I wasn’t feeling that creative, so just went with different colors.
The main body color are continued experimentation with GW contrast paints. At some point I should stop calling it experimentation and just admit they’re a regular tool in my hobby toolbox.
These models remain super fun, with friendly teeth and tongue, big happy and/or terrified eyes. Who wouldn’t want to be their friend?
These alts, slated for release at the Adepticon that wasn’t, were so popular they sold out within hours. Fortunately they were reprinted for slowpokes like me.
Lone Guard Infiltrator
They also act as previews for the currently running Storms of Kural Kickstarter. The project is for a new two-player starter set, featuring two four model warbands, each model representing a different faction. The stat cards were released in the second edition rulebook, but these are the first models available.
Iguan Marauder
The starter set is all single piece models, to be more accessible to people unfamiliar with metal models. These alt poses wouldn’t work in a single piece, but they aren’t exactly complex (torso and arms). I like slight posability, plus it would be easier to do simple conversions.
Warden of Justice
As a bonus, have a cat. You can never have too many cats in Relicblade.
