This is just kind of a heads up to a new project I am undertaking – that of creating 4 post apocalyptic armies based mainly from various movies/TV for basic ideas, but also some books I've read on the subject. I won't be starting until I finish up the last few elements for my Weird WWI German army and get it based, which should also allow for some additional bits I have coming form Pendraken for the vehicles I'll be doing.
The 4 armies are:
Road Warriors – think of the bad guys in all the Mad Max movies, as far as the figures having a very punk rock appearance, and of course some fun vehicle conversions. And of course a Gyro-Copter made from a motorcycle figure.
The Law – taking as much as possible from Mad Max, but also from just how I envision the Law might still be in a post apocalyptic state that still retained some semblance of civilization. Planning a patrol car, a SWAT van and a motorcycle here.
The Survivors – Think of the guys in the "gazoline" compound in the second Mad Max movie, but also some bits from the movie The Postman. No vehicles for them, but plenty of horses.
The Creepers – Think of the bad guys in I am Legend, and the look of the War Boys in mad max Fury Road – bald heads, whitish skin, simple hand weapons, teeth and claws. City dwellers from the ruins of once great cities or towns!
All of my vehicles will be from Pendraken, and all will be very altered, to reflect a post apocalyptic wasteland. The figures (15 MM ) will be primarily from Rebel with the creepers coming from Splintered Light. And yes, I will have both a figure of Max and "Dog" (an Australian Cattle Dog) from the second film, and Michonne from TWD. I may also add Darryl with his crossbow, also from TWD. Max will be in the Law army, and Michonne and Darryl will be in the Survivor army.
Very much looking forward to these armies, and the opportunity to create some very unique and awesome car beasts!!! Hopefully soon!
