Sci-Fi Civilians: Ships Crew
Some sci-fi civilians painted just for fun really; painted as Ship’s Crew for some sort of civilian space ship.
The figures are an OOP civilian model from Warlord Games, from their Judge Dredd 200AD range (the guy holding the brown paper package) and the other is the Ship’s Mechanic from EM-4 Miniatures, from the legendary Spacelords range. Painted to a basic standard, I have more of these sorts of minis which I will paint in due course.
At one stage I had dreams of doing an upper-hive Necromunda game, featuring various civilians getting in the way. I therefore collected various sci-fi civilians, many of which are quite fun models, and may even be useful one day!

Last night my Alaitoc Warp Hunters took on Jason’s Dark Angels in a bloody battle. I remembered to take a few photos this time and I wrote up a brief report of the battle (but this is not a comprehensive battle report). We also used our own house rules for combat resolution for the first time.

For month 3 of the challenge I painted some red models to achieve the “Red Circus” bonus round – what could be more 1990s than bright red after all?
