QWIK HUMAN TEAMS 1&2 Production Castings...I Got Mine Free!

See what happens when you are friends with a Sculptor and a Rules Author?
You get free Toys & Books!

Rod sent me 2 complete sets of his QWIK Human Teams this weekend, and Ed is sending me my copy of The QWIK Rules this week.
Haa, Haa!

Seriously, I am happy to see this project go from talk...to WALK. It happened faster than some expected.

I am looking forward to adding my continuing work, with some new Mutants and Characters to this fine range of unique models.

Thanks again Rod and Ed.

MONSTERS: GRIZZOUGHT Completed Sculpture Preview

"Travel far, and make good The Hunt my son... but always know the Fast-way home, for you are not alone in The Wild."

Grizzought are Lion-like Kodiak Bear sized beast which Hunt The Wild, and other remote places of The NAC Dominion. These dreaded hunters are stealthy, fast, and very powerful. The hide of an adult Grizz is virtually impervious to commonly used Ballistic Weapons, making them a great threat to even well equipped travellers.

A Word On Design. The Grizzought's tail has been sculpted seperate, for ease of casting.
I think this Ferocious Beast will make a fine addition to my QWIK Gladiatorial Range. We want to have some Beast in The Arena to fight...don't we?

MURG SLUG Completed Sculpture Preview

The Murghaste Warriors use Infected Beast during their raids, to sow confusion and fear in the ranks of their enemies, among these wretched things, many defenders have been lost to Murg Slugs.

MURG Slugs, like their cousins MURG Imps and Flies, dwell wherever The Murghaste thrive.
Slugs are in part a random mutation, like most Murg Beast, however The Murghaste Warriors chose aggressive specimens as Pets and Guardians. These chosen are trained and fed meats enhanced by drops of their Masters own blood. This causes Murg Slugs to become more aggressive, and imparts a greater strength and even a base intelligence to the wretched things.
Unlike Murg Flies and Imps, Slugs are able to grow back limbs and are more resilient against damage, which affords the beast a higher station among the small infected things that gather to Murg Camps. The best of the Slugs, like Murg Hounds, are equipped with TECH Weapons and Surveillance gear. These Greater Beast are used in combat, and are given reign over the many Lesser Beast.

A Word On Design. This little fellow was fun to achieve. He has been made for my 15MM Tomorrow Black Series, however this sculpture may well become The First of a little 6MM Sci-Fi Product Range. I am still thinking about this...

BIOSECT: ROACH Completed Sculpture Preview

"I have seen brave men, Great Warriors,  pulled into the vile wet blackness of The Under...and they could not scream."

Biosect Roaches are not a Dark Science Race however their mutation evolved from feeding upon such beings. Roach-Men, as they are sometimes called, thrive in The Under and in any other dark damp place with a reasonable food supply. They often locate themselves near appropriately temperate Human Settlements.

Roaches are The Ultimate Solitary Survivalist. They are considered to be an Evil race, but they are actually neutral, caring only for what is best for them. Females will watch their Eggs until they hatch, but once the Imps are able to feed, they are left to their own fates.

Occasionally Adults have been known to form small bands of their own kind, or work with other species of Biosect, and even Manamals, and other Humanoids.The average Adult Roach is about 7'6" and weighs around 260lbs. Adults are Master Hunters, and Path Finders. Roach-Men are at least as intelligent as a capable Human. They are cunning and absolutely deadly opponents in Martial Combat. A single Warrior Roach is roughly as strong as six good Human males. Their Digits and Back Arms are razor sharp and able to rip metal open like so much damp paper. The typical adult is entirely armoured and can sustain a full burst at point blank range from all but the most powerful Ballistic Weapons. All Biosects have sharp reflexes and are fast on their feet, Roaches are uncanny in this regard. Roach Warriors are very keen on Tech, and employ a variety of Guns and other Tech Weapons stolen or salvaged from their victims, and allies. Roach-Men can speak to other intelligent beings and all types of Insects via a minimal form of Intuitive Telepathy.

A Word On Design. I have kept the Back Limbs of my Roach-Men as a seperate bit, for the ease of casting, and so that we can pose these extra arms in whatever way looks best to us.

This has been a fun model to conceive, and finally complete. I learned some new approaches to sculpting on this little Bad Ass Bug Fellow...lol.

THE MANAMAL POLL

LET'S TRY THIS ONE AGAIN.

I posted a similar poll back in the Black Autumn Days and it went nowhere. I have changed everything in my little world since then...this time the deal IS real.

The purpose of this Poll is to determine what Manamal Types will be made first and also which will get the Gang or Race treatment. I am going to sculpt one of everything in this poll, as a cool Monster/Character. Any of these Mutant Animal Humanoids will make a damn fun NPC or Special PC in RPG and a MERC or Monster Encounter in Skirmish Games.

If the poll and subsequent sales elevate certain Manamals, then I will do a Gang or Complete Race of the popular species. To give you some idea of how these sculptures may look, I am sharing some of the art that I have in my Reference Folders. I am not making my models just like this, but you can get the Flavor from these images.



A Word On Design. I have other Manamal Species in mind, this is the first batch, to get the product range started in earnest.

Other Manamal Species currently on my work desk.

20,000 Visitors & 5 New Friends!

We passed 20,000 this week, and in the last two weeks five Brothers of The One Five have chosen to accompany me on my Sculpting Adventures.

You people are Gold. I like you heaps and piles worth of Pewter!

THE DEAD ROAD Part 9

I received the new Trees and some more Modern Lamps last week. I can now arrange all of the main components and do a dry run for the complete layout. I am including images of some Cutting Mats that I am going to use for parking lots. I am also including my M1 Tanks and an APC to give everything scale.

I think these trees are going to make The Dead Road...live. The Mats are a great way to get large areas done without buying expensive Plasticard, or using card that will rot over time.

S.E.C. MECH CLASS-A & MFD Completed Sculptures Preview

Tech Weaponry comes in many classifications from huge S.E.C. batteries mounted upon the ramparts of fortified instillation's, to tiny devices hidden in a piece of jewelry.

Perhaps the most common of these (with the exception of utilitarian weaponry of course) are S.E.C. Mechs.

Security Enforcement Constructs (S.E.C.s) are designed and manufactured almost exclusively in The TECH Vaults of Techer Cities. These deadly Mechs are available to anyone with the wits to deal with Techers (and survive) and the cash to pay for them. NAC has long standing trade agreements with TECH Nation, and use most of the various S.E.C. Mechs manufactured by them .

The S.E.C. Mech any traveler can expect to encounter first when entering The Outskirts of TECH or NAC Territories is a Class A Death Tower or it's counterpart, an Electro Braced  Multi Function Drone (MFD).

Death Towers are typically encountered in their Monitoring Mode. The Main Body, or Tower,  is retracted in a Fixed Sub-level Mount (FSM) where it can be repaired by an MFD, constantly charged, and the Mimi Missile Launchers are reloaded by an Auto Loader or MFD. When the sensors identify a trespasser, the Tower rises quietly and waits for the subject to enter it's Field Of Action (FOA). Depending on the Command Protocol set by the S.E.C. Mech's owner,  the Tower will warn off intruders or attack them until they are either incapacitated or dead or have left the Machines FOA.

The Tower has  the ability to use a Low Power version of it's Laser which acts as a highly effective Stun Beam. When the assigned protocol has been met for a particular situation, the Tower quietly descends back into it's FSM, and goes back in Monitor Mode. If the Machine was acting under The Acquire Protocol and it used it's Laser in Stun Mode, it will notify the proper entities of the incapacitated subject, and deploy one or both of it's MFDs to recover the target for collection.

Multi Function Drones are stored in the FSM with the Death Tower. Typically a Tower has two MFDs at it's disposal. An MFD has the ability to fight if need be. It is well armoured like the Tower, and carries a Light Pulse Laser and Medium Utility Arm. The arm is equipped with a Tazer and Cutter as well as a Grip Claw with Inset Multi Tool Unit. The MFDs are sent out to preform long range observation if the Tower deems it necessary to track numerous or particularly dangerous intruders into it's FOA.

A Word On Design.  I have designed this sculpture so that it can  be used on the tabletop in Monitoring (Tower Down) and Active (Tower Up) mode. The set will include: 1 Fixed Sub-level Mount (FSM) Base with the Port and Scanner Module, 1 Tower, 2 MFDs, 2 Flight Bases, 1 Bits Sprue which includes the Heads, Pule Lasers, and Utility Arms for the Drones.

Note: The MFD Unit is often used by Techers. This means that you are getting a peek at the cute little Hover Bot that will come with my Bionoid Techer Babe, when I do her in her active (Not a captive...LOL)  Mode. As a complete Figure Set. I still need to finish sculpting her Jetter (Jet Bike) and convert her so she is ...Uhh...fully dressed.

CHARACTERS: JAKA THE MAN KILLER WIP Preview 1

Jaka is a well known Rouge Scout who will guide any who are able to pay him well. In his youth he was a Gladiator, but in time won his freedom, at the cost of hundreds of other Gladiators lives. He is a truly wicked Hyena Manimal, that enjoys torturing his opponents in Martial Combat. Jaka often associates with Kainards, and occasionalley Whurgs, on nightly ventures for mutual gain.

A Word On Design. Jaka is The First Model for what may become a Hyena Manimal Raiders Set.

Note: From RtoL are Rodrick's Werewolf sculpture sold by Mike at Rebel Minis, and Jaka, and finally my little Kainard Body Blank WIP.

Jaka is another member of my Mutant Juggers Team for QWIK .
