This week I took photos of two batches of miniatures I painted in late 2022 for my modern/post-apocalypse games. They are all from Hasslefree and were purchased in 2021/2022. These are the last miniatures that I have from them, so I can move on to some other sections of the lead pile. One thing I really like about Hasslefree is that they portray different body types (male/female, height, weight) while also making them suitable for handling in games. I have bought female miniatures in the past from other manufacturers that were so thin and fragile that they were unusable.
Photos were taken on a warm March morning. During the first attempt, there was a lot of pollen in the air and it got everywhere. After a thorough brushing-off I tried again the next day. The descriptions are from left to right and the names are from the Hasslefree website. Paints used were a mix of craft paints, Vallejo, P3, Ral Partha, Army Painter, and GW.
Every post-apocalypse movie needs a kid. Or three. Peter, Katie, and Young Amoy are doing quite well even though civilization has collapsed. The younger two have fashioned weapons out of everyday objects, while Amoy wields the family sword.
Punks Joanne and Joe are ready for some mayhem. They would fit well in a game of my friend Mike's rules Mean Streets, which cover gang warfare.
Jim is an army veteran/urban revolutionary. I really like the pose of Taylor mini and when I saw it on sale I bought it right away.
Foxtrot comes with an alternate head and arms. The other head is a Imperator Furiosa look-alike from Mad Max:Fury Road. I already have one of those from another company so I used the gas mask head. Pulse is one of my favorite Hasslefree sculpts and is usable in various modern settings. These are both taller figures.
Shotgun-wielding Madge and office worker Earl are ready for any trouble that comes their way. Looters beware!
Police officer Ken comes with alternate arms holding a shotgun. Firefighter Levon appears to have learned that an ax is an effective anti-zombie weapon. These two are also taller figures.
Il Capello bears a strong resemblance to Walter White from the tv show Breaking Bad. Police officer Nick clearly means business. He comes with several arm options.
Jess is a former hockey player. The last time I was painting zombies I missed Zombie Ray so I painted him with this batch. I like the half flesh/half skull look. HF also make a living version.
Is this illegal toxic waste dump where the zombie outbreak started? I do not know the manufacturer of this resin terrain piece as I took it out of the package several years ago, primed it, and promptly set it aside and forgot about it until recently.
All 17 miniatures together.
Four of our chickens. They surrounded me while I was taking the photos because they were hungry. I promised them food and internet fame.
