It's like some kind of Deadzone Suicide Squad

Really gakky time of day to take photos and I can't get the light right, but I was heading out and on a deadline for the competition I paint in. A few things need a touch up though, paint just refuses to stick to metal minis, even Vallejo primer just comes right off in my hands, part of why I prefer plastic, resin and even restic to metal in 95% of all circumstances.

Great stuff, what a motley crew you have there.

The Survivor is particularly nice, makes me want to find mine in a box somewhere

Grimdork,
colorscheme on Enforcer looks nice.
Larva, nice squad of Enforcers, they get things done!

Nice work all around, NTrabbit. The Sphyr plague is my favorite (her name was changed at some point and now I can't remember what it ended up as). Dusky, dingy, wasted looking blue flesh for a nice understated look that suits the figure better than any other scheme I've seen so far. She comes off as a credible threat, not cartoony or garish.

Aqissiaq, they picked something completely unspellable.

I like the blue flesh too, although it would benefit greatly from a highlighting pass to pick out the details.

Yeah I'm pretty bad at highlighting, I need to practise more

Nice work man, great to see some life on here again

Ahhh, its been a while but i've finally got most of my steel ancestors painted, two more to go.



Aye cant understand a word they're sayin.... they look a bit pissed, I think they want us to put our hammers down....

"!YOU WANT ME TO PUT THE HAMMER DOWN?!!!....YOU HEARD EM LADS!!!"

I feel bad; as the creator of this 46 page monstrosity, I haven't been posting!

Nice job, all around, I need to get back into my Deadzone. I've actually gone a bit heretical and been painting my Warriors of Chaos for Warhammer 8th edition and 6th edition!!

Almost there, one more model to go, I figured i would take a break from doing the regular Forge guard armour and get the Huscarl done.... FORWARD FOR THE FORGE!!!

Cool stuff!

Very nice!

The start of a DZ diorama:

And a bit more:
. A pair of test Zombies for my DZ diorama, speed-painted but hopefully still decent. Not yet decided how they'll be based.




I'll need a least a dozen of these blighters for the dio, and 2-3 times that many if I ever want to play solo DZ, so I needed something easily replicated and fast. Lots of washes and drybushes, and I used glossy-ish paint for the flesh as a) its creepy and b) it doesn't need much highlighting.

And to kick their asses, an Enforcer Assault Trooper. The head is a spare Sefadu one that I see as the Enforcer equivalent of a MkVI 'beaky', the jetpack plumes are those leaves I bought for the KemVar glued to wire and painted over.

nice conversions and paint jobs there, cant wait to see the full diorama

Looking v good!

It's all gone very quiet recently....

Probably cause everyone is waiting for DZ:I and arent buying the old stuff?

This. I don't know about you guys, but I've not touched the restic stuff in ages now we've got the HIPS kits coming.

yeah that is very true, the new asterain mini's look far superior to their restic counterparts

I'm still working on a decent all round board to play my deadzone games, I need to work out what are some of the best all round useful and interesting scenery combinations with the scenery tiles, while we wait for the new kits to be released how about everybody shares some of their best scenery builds for their deadzone games?

I've been working on KoW Ogres for something in November, I'll hopefully be back on my Forge Fathers in December!

picked up a box of the mantic ruined battle zone scenery last weekend, planning on making 4 major structures, hopefully will have pictures soon

I am currently painting my dz models : enforcers, pathfinders, plague and rebs

Look forward to seeing pics!

3 buildings done, got one last building to do which will be a large landing pad.





And a few close up shots, Forge Fathers make their way through a ruined settlement looking for abandoned loot unaware that Enforcers are still active in this sector:


The SPEC.T.E.R sniper wraith lines up for a shot on the leader of the heavily armoured squad.


But even the enforcers aren't safe in the ruins.

Great stuff, suitably building-like while being very open for play. Yay ruins bits

Thanks, yeah the ruined sections are fantastic, really give a lot of customization options, make the board a little more open and generally look pretty awesome.

I've got to start working out my remaining buildings...should have several even after stealing so many parts for the dropship.
