The first lot of minis I wanted to show are care of the sculptor Kev White of Hasslefree Miniatures. I have been eyeing of his sculpts for ages, originally intending to get some to represent NPC's in our Dark Heresy campaign. For whatever reason I never got around to it until the other week when browsing through my bookmarks I stumbled back across his page and finally caved in and submitted an order.
I picked up a lot of gear from the adventurer range, the majority armed with a G36 (auto gun in 41st millennium speak) or an Aliens inspired pulse rifle. The odd one out being a crazed man in a cape more for the oddity of it and it made me giggle when I first saw it. My favourites are the set of hazmat suited guys, and the mini reminiscent of 'Snake'. I've added a suppressor using brass rod to one of the models as the gun looked a tad odd without one.
Kev's stuff is first class, on par with the LotR scale stuff put out by GW, and is lovely and cheap meaning I picked up the lot for less than a $100 Australian which is a bargain in my book. These are probably going to fall into the painting queue behind the Deathwatch Marines that are waiting for a lick of paint after I finish my current WoC Giant project which is about half way done and almost ready for a bit of show and tell.
The second thing to arrive is also a Kev White sculpt, but put out by Studio Mcvey. Its the Lt. Kara sculpt which is again first class effort.
Aside from playing around with these minis and reading my Deathwatch book, I haven't gotten a lot of painting in and even less gaming. The Giant is progressing slowly, I should get some more done this week and hopefully have a finished model by next week.
Cheers all,
Pom
Just wanted to say thanks for the pics it is nice to see the minis in real life. I have just placed an order at hasslefree and our positive experience makes me a bit less... nervous i guess (I have not quiet gotten used to internet shopping just yet... Call me old fasion). Now i almost regret not getting the radiation suit guys! Im looking forward to seeing it all painted up, somewhere in the distant future.
ReplyDeletePS cool that you are running a Deathwatch campaign. If only there was one in my neighborhood!
Cheers mate.
