I have some updates.
The Sunspoke Mining Company has a system where it transplants an entire semi self-sustaining colony onto a planet in order to save costs with having to deliver as many supplies across the vast expanse. Sometimes, however, the venture can prove unsuccessful and the company pulls out, taking with it as many people as want to go.
These people are members of Sunspoke security, or were until the company pulled off this rock. They decided to remain to help provide law enforcement to the other settlers who decided to remain. Many of those settlers were farmers, who provided the nourishment element of the self sustaining colony.
Below are other miniatures who I have spent the weekend re-basing. I used a cheap craft paint from The Works, I guess it is beige. I then used Agrax Earth wash quite heavily and as it stands I am very pleased with them. They are generic enough that they will fit in many settings, and don't just look like I couldn't be bothered to finish painting after texturing the base.
I have re-based every single individually based 6mm Sci Fi miniature that I own, and have also begun painting a lot of civilians, some "jedi" type figures, and some individually based New Vesta Security.
Pleased to be getting back on track.
Very nice. I keep kicking around the thought of doing 6mm skirmish but putting it off.
ReplyDeleteI have enough stuff lying around to get a game started, the main challenge is sorting out new terrain.
I chose 6mm specifically because terrain would not be such an issue, but then again I am happy with my rough and ready stuff.
DeleteAlso the prices of small buildings seem to be reasonable enough that I can just buy them if I feel lazy.
