A Few More Bots

I'm nearly at the end of my GZG purchase. These last bots and drones mark the last of the minis. I have the vehicle painted, just need to finish basing it before I take some pictures.

Anyway, the figs!

GZG Workbot

GZG Wheeled drones with recon/sensors

GZG Wheeled drones with missiles

I hope to get the GZG exploration vehicle done tomorrow and pics taken. I've also been working on some Hotwheels/Matchbox trucks that need their pictures taken. I'm in a slight rush because I took the plunge and bought my next batch of minis.

After all my hemming and hawing, I finally settled on a small Kra'Vak force. 4 squads of infantry, 2 squads of power armor, and one set of the beastly cavalry. I think it was Spacejacker's paint jobs that tipped the scales for me, just loverly.

I couldn't bring myself to buy the Kra'Vak vehicles, though. They are my least favorite of the GZG vehicles (still better than some other companies offer, mind you, just not my cup of tea). Instead I picked up 8 AT-43 Karmans to use as light mechs. I'll be decapitating the apes and armor plating the hole that leaves behind. Not sure how this is going to work as an army. I may end up needing some real tanks to fend off my buddy's numerous heavy tanks. And I don't have any transports. Oh well. They'll look cool! And they should be here by midweek. Yippee!

More GZG

I am so close to getting all my Ground Zero Games minis painted right now I can taste it.

Here's what I've gotten done in the past few days.

More Not Firefly minis

GZG Free Trader Crew Pack B
Not Kaylee, Not Inara, Not Wash, and Not Book

Not River and Simon Tam from Pack B

Some droids:

Workbots Pack 1

And some robots:

Humanoid Bots

I only have one bot, 5 wheeled drones, and the SURVEYOR II tracked ATV explorer vehicle left to go from my order. The joy this gives me is tempered with the knowledge I now have to choose my next purchase. I'm thinking about something rather alien, as all my current minis are human. So GZG's Crusties are on the table as are the Kra'Vak.  Micropanzer's Riavaui look pretty nice too. But I keep coming back to Zombiesmith's Quar. I first saw them years ago when I was playing 28mm. I loved them but couldn't bring myself to pony up that much money. Now that I'm doing 15mm they are super-tempting. Crusader: Light Infantry Company is packed with 58 minis for the ridiculously low price of $20. That's incredible! Couple with 3 or 5 Trencher Tank Mk2 from Proxie Models, that's a respectable army for around $50!

I'm just talking myself into it, even though they don't really fit in with the universe that is percolating in my mind. Maybe if I convince my buddy to pick up some Aphids...

Robots!

Tonight it's all robots, all the time.

First up, GZG Grav Mini Drones.

I made them into three squads. These will be used as specialists in Gruntz games and as nifty surveillance bots in small story based games.

Next up, GZG wheeled recon/surveillance drone:

He's a cute little thing. I have two more of these guys and another three wheeled drones armed with missile launchers. He's mounted on a quarter, the fender washers were just too big for him.

And finally, the Droidinatrixes:

They're also GZG, from the Humanoid Bot pack. I slapped these together tonight. The paint job is, of course, ridiculous. They'll be close combat queens selling their services as sexy, robotic bodyguards.
