Lets face it, no zomb-apoc story would be complete without the boys (or girls) in blue getting a fair shake at the horde and these are my answer to this time honoured tradition:
First up are Officers Diggs and Ramirez, two city cops stranded in Bloomburgh, trying to survive against the zeds and the gangs alike. Both are from Wargames Foundry's Street Violence Range but the one armed with the shotgun is sadly unavailable online.
We ride together, we die together. Bad boys for life.
Officer Jesus Ramirez
Officer Tyson Diggs
Up next are Deputies O'Reilly and Finn. Since our campaign will travel outside the confines of Bloomburgh and into the outlying suburbs of Springvale and the greater rural areas of Spring County, it only seemed right to alter the flavour of the characters we encounter accordingly. To that end I added a couple of Spring County Sheriff's Deputies to the mix. Both are from Wargames Foundry but neither are available online. I have converted their hats to a pair scavenged from the Wargames Factory Apocalypse Survivors box.
We're all highway
Deputy Sally O'Reilly
Deputy Todd Finn
The first fellow is another one from Wargames Foundry's Street Violence Range and was an experiment for painting the three colour desert camo.
This last guy is a conversion of Studio Miniatures' Dixon - Human Survivor using an AK47 from the Wargames Factory Apocalypse Survivors box and a backpack from an old GW Imperial Guard kit that I actually can't recall.

Those are some very nice-looking miniatures. I'm watching this project with interest!
ReplyDeleteThank you, mate. I may increase the frequency of my posts as things start rolling of the desk a bit faster. Only four weeks to go!!!
DeleteFantastic paint work mate. I've always want to get a second Dixon to do just that to! Love the Police especially the converted ones with the hats. I may have to steal that Idea!
ReplyDeleteAll yours, pal. I thought you'd appreciate the Dixon conversion. Very ATDE.
DeleteI also like the converted "Dixon". But they are all very good I may treat myself this weekend because of these.
ReplyDeleteI'm so pleased that I managed to inspire someone to shop elsewhere ;) lol
DeleteGlad you like them, mate. I think the shotty cops are available on eBay (that's where I got them). Just search "street violence".
Some nice stuff there dude.
ReplyDeleteI really like the cops.
Dixon is a nice job too dude.
Thanks, mate. I was pretty chuffed with the results. I wasn't as pleased with the deputies but layering beige is usually reserved for my worst nightmares.
DeleteVery cool indeed mate! A quick question...The book....Necromunda rules?
ReplyDeleteWell spotted, bud. You never forget your first love.
DeleteReturning to the Hive myself these days. Got hold of some Necromunda models and unearthed my Orlock gang.
DeleteVery well painted
ReplyDeleteNice job - especially with that Dixon. AK seems to be perfectly scaled for it.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for the tip lol - I'll try it with my next miniatures, I think I could find the hardware needed in my man cave :D.
Also, quit smoking, those are bad for your health :D
Really nice treatment of those miniatures, very cool indeed. Love the Daryl model too
ReplyDeleteThanks, Adam. I have to say I was dead pleased with him. It's not often that I actually sit down to paint a single model as I'm normally trying to paint a few at once but the results are unquestionably better when I do.
