The Desert Dogs ride again!
For those who might be wondering, Squaduary is all about building and painting a squad in February and is an event being run by the blog Stepping Between Games. The goal for the first week is to build your miniatures, so in this post I'm presenting the fruits of my labor; namely the recently reincarnated Desert Dogs (back due to popular demand after their 10 year hiatus). Gaming wise, I'm planning to use them as a faction in some games of Inquisitor (28mm scale) as a Planetary Defence Force turned police unit. We'll see if the can stem the waiting tides of mutants, heretics, plague zombies and ermm.... Mechanicus?
Parts wise they're almost entirely Anvil Indistry bits with the addition of some extra helms and odd parts from the bits box. Interestingly, the plastic helmets come from some Bot Handlers from a game called Malestrom's Edge that I got for free in my goodie bag at Salute! (I'd love to say it was because I'm so famous, or silver tongued and handsome, but everyone got them...)
Get to the Choppahh...
Space Marine Flamer? Seems to fit ok.
I'm trying out some texture paint for the bases too, but more on that later.
Until next time; party on dudes.
Great start Blazmo, I've joined the fun at Squaduary too, with my RTB01 marines that have been waiting to get a paint job since 1988...
ReplyDeleteWell, at least that made me feel better about my backlog!
DeleteI look forward to seeing how you get on; here's hoping for good results all round!
Really liking how they came together chief. Bravo. A really rag tag group of specialists.
ReplyDeleteLove how unique all the anvil industry bits are making them. That's the best part of the 3rd party stuff...not full replacements, just fun changes and character adding!
ReplyDeleteThese models have such character. Amazing job with these!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I've just finished painting the first one; with a few more in the pipeline. I hope they'll look cool when they're finished. Most importantly, I don't want to embarrass myself by turning in 3 half finished guys at the end of February!
