A ranging group of scavvies seek riches amongst the piles of scrap. |
The first new additions are a pair of figures converted from the WHFB F2 Fighters range.

The scavvy with the big knife and pistol was made from Ernst Stoutheart (I think an Aly sculpt). I replaced the sword with a more brutal blade cut down from a Space Marine scout knife. The bionic arm and pistol came from a Necromunda pit slave, whereas the new legs were donated from a Colony 87 merchant. He then got a lot of oversculpting to hide the mail shirt with ragged clothing.
The scavvy with the autogun was converted from Astol the Archer (I think a Trish sculpt). I removed the bow and helmet plume, before repositioning the quiver and both arms. The autogun came from a RT imperial guard figure and I repurposed the quiver as a club holder. After all the repositioning, I sculpted yet more rags over the top!
With the paint scheme already defined by the earlier scavvies, I didn't deviate too much apart from placement of colours.
Scavvies are big fans of smiley faces and hazard stripes! |
These guys are starting to look like a bit of a gang! More to come.
Wow, really good converting. The gang is definitely coming together! Wasn't the symbol of the Scavvies a smiley face at one point?
ReplyDeleteThanks Toby. Yeah, that smiley face is a recurrent theme for scavvies - the original scavvy king has one on his back banner, and I'm pretty sure it was used widely in illustrations.
DeleteThat job for conversions :O
ReplyDeleteSo impressive.
Thanks Brauwan! 👍
DeleteI didn't know Trish did infantry-level miniatures, I always thought her purview was monsters...
ReplyDeleteTrish did loads of 28mm human-sized miniatures in the late 1980s. The Judge Dredd perps, Marauder Wood/High/Sea elves were hers amongst others. She switched to doing monsters later on.
DeleteGreat conversions created from interesting source.
