"Get the scrap lads! - Scavvy Reinforcements

It wouldn't be right to have a Confrontation-era scavvy gang without including the beautiful unreleased scavvies from the masterful hands of Jes Goodwin. I'm lucky enough to have the complete set, so here are the first three to swell the ranks of the Sinkhole Boggarts.

Bang-Bang Alys - Scavvy Heavy Stubber

Before anyone says anything, I know scavvy gangs can't have heavy stubbers. But cool figures trump rules restrictions, and Bang-Bang Alys is perfectly usable in N18 hive scum gangs or Stargrave crews!

Come to Papa - a Scavvy Champion

Building on the three scavvies from my last post, I wanted to add in some cool characters to the gang. Obviously the Scavvy King will make an appearance down the line, but he can't be the only scavvy of note. That's where Papa Zhon comes in. I picked up the palanquin-less Nurgle champion an age ago, and he's been patiently waiting for the right project to come along. I reckon a motorised chair for an aging scavvy is exactly the right use for him!!

Papa Zhon directs his scavvies to collect more valuable scrap.

Nasty Scabs - Confrontation Scavvies

After several months of painting Bob Olley figures, I wanted a bit of a break, so decided to get back on with the Confrontation scavvies. I've now just got the Citadel figures to do. These were sculpted by Jes Goodwin, with three seeing general release and a further seven being unreleased.

Down on the Farm

I've painted a fair few buildings over the last couple of years for my Hyam's Landing setting. These have pretty much all in the same style as the unreleased 40k habs I was lucky enough to pick up. The general vibe is space western / frontier town. The buildings are low-level, run-down & rusty! After painting the sheds/barns from the other week, I decided I wanted to pull together an out of town set. It will eventually comprise of the sheds/barns, fences, possibly some livestock and agricultural vehicles. Most importantly though, I needed a farmhouse centrepiece.

Fine Places to Store Things - New Sheds

I love making and painting terrain. You get a lot of bang for your buck, and it's generally quick and imprecise, meaning you don't really need to concentrate too hard! I especially like when you can add cheap toys into the terrain collection.

"It'll be like the old times. They'll never stop us." - Olley x Biggs Darklighter & Prune Face

Back to some incidental Star Wars characters and painting up Bob Olley sculpts where they just seem to fit! Here are Biggs Darklighter (deleted Tosche Station scene) and Orrimaarko AKA Prune Face.

Painting up Biggs gave me a good excuse to have some fun with scene recreation:
