Safe House 2014 Bonus Content - Characters

In the wake of such an overwhelmingly positive response to the Safe House 2014 batreps I thought it would be nice to give you all a closer look at some of the miniatures used in the campaign.


________________________________________________________________

A.J.

First up is one of my own survivors from the campaign.

A.J. is an experimental conversion I did a day or two before the event. His legs and torso are from the upcoming Bridges and Zeke figures from Project Zeke Miniatures as is his backpack, available now as part of our new Survivor Gear Pack

A little modelling putty and a head I had lying around from a Horace 'Action' Jackson from Reaper Miniatures and A.J. (geddit?) was ready to bust a move.

Jake

Jake is another conversion using the body of "Herb" by Rogue Miniatures, a Travelling Tweedy Head from Crooked Dice and a MOLLY pack from The Assault Group to complete the 'survivalist' look. This guy is actually my personal favourite...even if he's not one of my sculpts.

HANK

This next fellow got a fair bit of play time throughout Safe House but it occurred to me that there weren't really any good pictures of him in the reports. So allow me to present Codename: HANK

This is another converted PZM mini that I did last year using a P-Sec body with the silencer trimmed off the weapon and a simple head swap for a US Gas Mask Head from West Wind Productions.

And he bears a certain resemblance to a beloved video game character of mine. No prizes for originality for me.

Spec Ops

Last up is the Spec Ops character that appeared very briefly at the end of Act 3. He was originally intended for use as the chopper pilot but I scrapped that idea and only found a use for him out of sheer happenstance. 

However, even though he played virtually no part at all in the campaign, I thought I'd take the opportunity to shamelessly show off another simple P-Sec conversion possibility. 

Using a different model to HANK, I trimmed the silencer again filed down the rim of his helmet. A couple of rows of holes were then drilled into the sides to finish off the tactical helmet look. Lastly, I added another PZM backpack and got painting (connoisseurs among you may appreciate what I was attempting with the face mask). I really want to do some more of these.

That's it for another day but there will be more Safe House bonus material coming your way in due course.

    1. Conversions are the single reason for me not owning a Porsche. That and I don't earn enough.

  4. Fantastic conversions! Civilians are great, but the uniformed pals are not far behind. Everything looks better with a gas/face mask!
