Lots Of Updates!

Hi!

Apologies for the lack of either updates or indeed a blog over the last few months but its been a tad hectic here!

Alas my plan to spend the year painting and gaming a Nuclear Renaissance campaign has come to naught but I will be keeping this blog up and running with the occasional bits and bobs, not to mention the latest Ramshackle releases!

Heres a list of the new stuff from Ramshackle over the last couple of months:

Trolls

2 Different Goblin Shaman

Goblin War Giant!

Goblin Bolt Thrower

I will add the rest in the morning!

All the best!

Ramshackle To Release Fantasy Range

HI!

Im actually off on my hols at the moment so havent had chance to update my blog for a while but news has come through of Ramshackle Games fantasy range.

Heres a picture of the Giant:

Ramshackle Giant

He looks perfect for a really big mutant and the orcs are rather nice too! The range will launch with orc archers, trolls, goblin bolt thrower and a couple of mounted goblin mages, not to mention a goblin war giant!

Once Im back from holiday I will set to painting up some of the Nuclear Renaissance miniatures I have kicking about!

All the best!

Ramshackle Release Crazies!

Hi!

Ramshackle Games have released two new figures and can be found HERE

Drug Crazed Loonies

Retailing at £1.50 for the two and made of resin they are a good addition to any Nuclear Renaissance warband!

All the best!

More Nuclear Renaissance Painted Stuff!

Hi!

I spotted this rather excellent paintjob over on the Lead Adventure forum and thought I should post some pics of it:

Thaddeus Front

Thaddeus Rear

I really like the parrot with its rich yellow colours!

All the best!

All the best!

Back From Holiday!

Hi!

Well I'm just back from a rather amazing holiday in Wales and will be getting the phoneline installed in my new flat on Monday so will have regular internet access from Tuesday!

I had hoped to be getting stuck into my campaign by this point along with quite a few painted miniatures but due to the unexpected flat move and general tardiness I haven't got much done with Nuclear Renaissance!

This will be changing as of June though as I am setting myself the task of painting the whole box sets worth of miniatures in a week! Hopefully this will stir me into getting some gaming in!

In the mean time if any of you have any Ramshackle games or Nuclear Renaissance miniatures painted then please feel free to get in touch and I will post them on my blog!

All the best!

Still Here!

Hi!

Apologies for the lack of updates over the last couple of weeks but I am getting ready to move house!

I did spot this rather nice conversion of the Brass Coffin over on Lead Adventure by the taleted Pappa Midnight:

Brass Coffin Conversion 1

Brass Coffin Conversion 2

I really like the bold colour scheme on the beast and am quite tempted to go for something similar on mine!

Hopefully regular service will be resumed in a couple of weeks time after Ive finished moving!

All the best!

Wasteland Scenics

Hi!

Heres a couple of pictures of my new scenery that Ive been working on recently:

Storage Tanks

Another View Of The Storage Tanks

Ruined Forge

Another View Of The Forge

Made form an assortment of bits and bobs ranging from old ink cartridges to marker pens, the scenery didnt cost me anything to build and was textured with some spray paint I picked up for a couple of pounds in homebase!

I went for a really rusty and dirty look for the whole lot as they are supposed to be remnants of a post apocalyptic landscape and are roughly the size of a CD.

While I was in homebase I picked up some other bits and bobs which will also be getting turned into dwellings and random scenery over the course of the next few weeks!

All the best!

Grafted Gubbins!

Hi!

I spotted these bits and bobs from Max Mini:

Mechanical Legs

Mechanical Shooters

They might make a decent conversion for some Nuclear Renaissance gangers!

All the best!

Painted Stuff At Last!

Hi!

Heres some pictures of my stuff at last!

First off theres Gilgamesh Giggles:

Gilgamesh Giggles

I love this miniature and was really surprised how big it actually is! The detailing on it is really nice and he looms over the rest of his clan. I plan on using the same chipped yellow scheme on the rest of the clan along with their mighty vehicle Grendel!

Big Uli, Wolf Clanner

Next up heres Big Uli, one of my Wolf Clan gangers. Originally a Grenadier barbarian, hes available from EM4 Miniatures. Although hes a fantasy miniature, he fits in quite well with the Wolf Clan concept!

Hopefully I will get chance to get some more painting done over the course of the week and be able to add another of the Giggles onto the site ASAP!

All the best!

Steampunk Russia UPDATED!

Hi!

Heres another miniature I spotted from a Russian company called Ratnik:





He has some possibility for another Bandlerd character but alas theres no price as yet!

All the best

UPDATE!

Heres another of the Ratnik steampunk types:



I love the character this guy has with his mad multi barreled pistol, goggles and cigar chomping!

More Nuclear Renaissance Gubbins!

Hi!

Heres some pictures of Peter W of Ghost Nebulae's Nuclear Renaissance collection:

Assorted Converted Vehicles

Another View Of The Conversions

I really like the conversion work hes done on the vehicles. The Boneyard truck on the right has been equipped with Hurricane Bolters from the GW land raider giving whatever gang fields it a terrifying amount of firepower while the other two vehicles are made from miscasts available on request from Ramshackle for a small fee. The trike tailed red wagon is rather nice as it reminds me of a boat with an outboard motor!

Dungers

The Giggles Clan

Assorted Heroes Left To Right: Mrs Muffin, Isambard Kickass Brunell, Mr Sniketty, Admiral Leopold Horatio III And Trixie

It looks like the Giggles clan and the Society of Intrepid Explorers are fast becoming a favourite with the Wastelanders (at £5-8 for a pack of four characterful miniatures you cant go far wrong!)

Ive got family visiting at the moment so gaming and painting is out for the next week but I shall continue to post any images or articles I spot that might be of interest!

All the best!

Mr Snikkity and Lots More Beside!

Hi!

Heres another of Thorbjorns paintjobs, this time of Mr Snikkity, one of the Society of Intrepid Explorers:

Mr Snikkity

A rather creepy looking character in trenchcoat and tophat, Mr Snikkity is armed with two clawlike arms ending in long scissor like fingers. I have always liked the miniature and the paintjob on it is really rather good too!

With his bionic limbs and overcoat he looks like he could be an upmarket Giggles!

Speaking of the Giggles heres a picture of Thorbjorns version of Vulcan:

Vulcan Giggles

And finally one of the Ironwall Wasters vehicles:

The Stoat!

I really love the battered and post apocalyptic look of all the vehicles and equipment and really wish I was faster at painting!

In other news Ive FINALLY finished Gilgamesh and hope to get a picture of him posted ASAP!

All the best!

Unusual New Gang Possibilities

Hi!

Ive been perusing the Ral Partha Europe site for some assorted bits and bobs and spotted these guys in the Mage Knight Metal range and thought they might make a nice, if somewhat well armed, gang for Nuclear Renaissance:

Khamsin Freelancer

Khamsin Fuser

Black Powder Boomer

Khamsin Gunslinger

For some reason they remind me of the Ramshackle sculpting style and they all have a certain post apocalyptic look to them, especially the boomer with his ridiculous gloves and big gun and with the similar look to them all, I suspect they may be making an appearance, possibly as either bounty hunters or law enforcement in a future game!

All the best!

More Scenery!

Hi!

Alas my new camera hasnt arrived yet but rather than not adding anything to the blog I thought Id post a couple of pictures of more of my post apocalyptic terrain!

Industrial Building

Warehouse

Both buildings are made from simple boxes or polystyrene with a load of assorted bits stuck on followed by a grubby paintjob. Alas they too have been long gone but I hope to re-create the same sort of look for my Nuclear Renaissance games. The only main change that I would make would be to use a more muted brown colour scheme which is more inkeeping with the new scenery I have!

Heres a pre made piece of scenery I got from the old Vor box set:

Vor Ruin

Made of plastic its free standing but I added a base of foamcore. It paints up really nicely and I have about a dozen of them sitting around waiting to be painted. Unfortunately theres only the one design which could lead to a rather repetitive looking battlefield so I may have to do some conversion work on them before they are done. I really like the weird hatch on it and the melted effect on the top (Just what you need in your post apocalyptic wastes!)

Next up heres some possible conversion fodder for a new member of the Giggles Clan in the form of a repainted mining mech from the now defunct mechwarrior plastic range. They still turn up on ebay for peanuts and are well worth grabbing as they paint up really nicely and fit in quite well with the heavily grafted Giggles.

When the missile launcher and heavy weapon have been removed and some sort of close combat one put in its place its just about perfect for a motorised rig for the Giggles clan!

Mining Mech

Ive nearly finished Gilgamesh now and hope to move onto one of the other Giggles, possibly Grizelda, over the course of the next week or so!

Also I just wanted to say Hi to the two newest followers of the blog Haakon and Colonel Kane! Hopefully I will soon have some more useful gubbins on the blog (I know I keep saying that but what the hey, at some point I might actually do it!)

All the best!

Scenic Madness

Hi!

Heres a couple of pictures of some of my old scenery:









Alas I sold it all a while back but I hope to get some more put together to use in the Wastelands. Its made from a few small cardboard boxes and an assortment of bits and pieces!

More Painted Nuclear Renaissance Goodies!

Hi!

Another quick update with some more pictures of painted Nuclear Renaissance stuff:

Gilgamesh Giggles

Dungers

Again the miniatures are painted by Thorbjorn Nielson and, as with the previous post of the Giggles clan are really excellent! I especially like the angry looking dungers and the contrast between the rusted hulk of Gilgamesh's body and the clean looking rags!

If anyone else has aqny pictures of painted Nuclear Renaissance or Ramshackle Games miniatures please feel free to let me know and I will post them here!

All the best!
