More SF Figures

I finished a mix of adventurers, aliens and starport workers a couple of weeks ago. Pictures below.

I played a skirmish game a couple of months back with adventurers and pirates fighting it out over some stolen tech. One of the things I noticed was that I only had a few human adventurer figure, so I decided to paint some more.

With my usual meticulous attention to detail I ended up painting two starport workers, three aliens, a cyborg and a whole two adventurers (although the aliens could be considered to be in the adventurer category). After my current group are finished, therefore, I shall be painting up more adventurers.

Anyways, the figures.

Reaper Cyborg

Quite a tall figure, and mounting him on a built up base makes him tower over most things. Still, cyborgs are meant to be imposing :-)

Studio McVey Grenadier

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Mb54YkjC5nc/U3j74wY0WmI/AAAAAAAACbo/JLRf3n3yEJs/s779/b121_SMGrenadierFront.jpg https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/--UwuiH3DTQQ/U3j75oOxQwI/AAAAAAAACbw/H1aWtQjZRf4/s779/b121_SMGrenadierBack.jpg https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-gsfUBXoEMFg/U3j8EVD4G3I/AAAAAAAACdw/sU_UOIRJ3UA/s779/b121_SMGrenadierBase.jpg

An interesting figure, although slightly annoying to paint. There are a number of plates on her arm that I assume are meant to be armour of some sort. However, they just kind of lie there, and I found it difficult to decide quite what to do with them. There's a version of her with a gun that's still in the lead mountain, so maybe I'll have better luck on the second attempt.

Studio McVey figure with Pulse Cannon

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-9lRz4lId8uA/U3j724GfrgI/AAAAAAAACbQ/MygNtt_fCQY/s779/b121_SMHeavyFront.jpg https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-vVP8Xl4TuE8/U3j74On5GqI/AAAAAAAACbg/eB4LMHK3jiE/s779/b121_SMHeavyBack.jpg https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-X0ZrfDpl5UQ/U3j8FNoq65I/AAAAAAAACd4/D-QPIDq9yds/s779/b121_SMHeavyBase.jpg

Another Studio McVey figure. His flesh was meant to be darker, but I don't think the Andrea set I used was quite correct. I have some Foundry paints that I may try on his colleague (as with the grenadier above, there's a variant of this figure as well). I did some weathering on the exoskeleton and I'm reasonably happy with it.

Infinity figure with rifle. At least, I think it's an Infinity figure…

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-AUUQ32zwhRw/U3j76LEitRI/AAAAAAAACb4/8vh8rkMxWZ0/s779/b121_PulseRifleFront.jpg https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-FFbgp0vCNZg/U3j76-F0toI/AAAAAAAACcA/NFZyuZApsTs/s779/b121_PulseRifleBack.jpg https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-OpojbpFPgP8/U3j8D8f7obI/AAAAAAAACdo/nF_I8OvDg2o/s779/b121_PulseRifleBase.jpg

Nothing much to say about this figure, although I remember attaching the arms to the figure was a major pain.

Zombiesmith Alien

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-yStqdRHSW90/U3j78xOLKwI/AAAAAAAACcY/u9h_7bAR9Ow/s779/b121_Alien1Front.jpg https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-V5adDdlyn3Y/U3j79l5XdtI/AAAAAAAACcg/XKqpc1tm3KY/s779/b121_Alien1Back.jpg https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-oTqs096VmoI/U3j8CkFfqtI/AAAAAAAACdY/25khcRJrSgc/s779/b121_Alien1Base.jpg

I've had this figure for a while, so decided it was time to paint it. I have quite a few of the Zombiesmith aliens, so hopefully more will get painted in the coming months.

CP Models Alien Shocktrooper

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-ygG52v_oJAw/U3j77agfDrI/AAAAAAAACcI/PBDXN6kJXbI/s779/b121_AlienFront.jpg https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-e23KIfUz_Ck/U3j78Co_QmI/AAAAAAAACcQ/xXppErF1n-g/s779/b121_AlienBack.jpg https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-8Es7TZwo6AU/U3j8DNwAHiI/AAAAAAAACdg/C_ju2yb-IIQ/s779/b121_AlienBase.jpg

CP Models Loor Scout

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-BXvo3c6JyEQ/U3j7-Z--eqI/AAAAAAAACco/W0wVRV44QrA/s779/b121_LoorFront.jpg https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-RXAf5vm_qdQ/U3j7_NmCMwI/AAAAAAAACcw/hEwHzBl36Zo/s779/b121_LoorBack.jpg https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-hlSFKUWo6Ns/U3j8BzELv1I/AAAAAAAACdQ/trxt_ia5WEc/s779/b121_LoorBase.jpg

These two were part of an Indiegogo campaign that didn't fund. The sculptor sent out some samples during the campaign, and these were the two I got. The masters have since been bought and cast by CP Models, and I have picked up all the available figures. Well worth a look.

I had been aiming for something a bit more red with the Loor Scout, but I'm fairly happy with the way it turned out.

Reaper Technician

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-CB_-2Vl_1ec/U3j7_0HbW4I/AAAAAAAACc4/dLqf9uL578E/s779/b121_TechFront.jpg https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-EypjuRKKPAo/U3j8AfB9ahI/AAAAAAAACdA/QrLgojx7YX0/s779/b121_TechBack.jpg https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Uia7GUV6pYk/U3j8BC5TsQI/AAAAAAAACdI/3l23lPRy5Mc/s800/b121_Tech_Robot.jpg

I painted the robot up a while ago, but the technician had required a bit of filling around the top of her leg (which sounds ruder than it was), so she missed that particular group. However, they're now reunited.

So, some nice alien models, a few more starport crew and a couple of human adventurers. Now I just need to find time to have another game…
