Each pack comes with five models in five poses. There was considerable flash to clean up on each figure, taking a few minutes each. This is typical of models which have thinner limbs, regardless of the manufacturer. The models are comparable size with GZG figures.
Painting these monstrosities was very simple: I decided on a base coat of Tamiya Grey Green, which looks like sickly greenish skin (good for aliens too). I then used a series of GW washes to tint the green to various shades: sepia, flesh shade, green, athonian camoshade and drakenhof blue (which is perfect for a waterlogged corpse). This gave an excellent zombie appearance for a horde without becoming redundant.
I then applied Reaper blood via a wetbrush to various areas randomly and picked out various raw bone areas with Reaper Graveyard bone. I wash of Delvan Mud was then applied across all figures as well as Army Painter Red Wash to various random areas. Once this was dry I added some final blood and bone highlights along with a light dry brush of Vallejo Dead Flesh to random areas.
At 1:100 scale highlights need to be bold, no subtle bending here. High contrast is needed for any details to show beyond a foot or so. As usual, my photography makes the actual product look like crap. I NEED to make a lightbox or something for taking proper photos.
Again, I am not disappointed by these figures from Alternative Armies. They have a very distinct Fallout theme which I love. They fit perfectly into my Alien Squad Leader forces as either Thralls for Enslaver armies or as Beasts for any number of factions which can field them.
This is all very much a matter of taste, I prefer my fantasy stuff in 25mm. Most of my historical stuff is 15mm.
ReplyDeleteNice looking figures though.
