New Survivors

In the last batrep we met Joyce, Brenda and Eric.  They are civilians, hopefully soon to become full survivors.  The two women are rep 4 and Eric is only a rep 2.  I figure at Rep 2 Eric is either old or young, I roll a 50/50 chance and he comes up as a youngster.

Eric is based off of a Horrorclix, the Monster Patrol, the young boy with a slingshot.  I added a bolt action rifle from the Survivors: Men set from Wargames Factory.  I did a bit of a repaint, but kept the basic colors more or less the same.

Joyce is a Survivors: Women build from Wargames Factory.  I added a large backpack from Secret Weapons, but otherwise she is a pretty stock miniature.

Brenda is a Heroclix figure with a repaint and a spear from the ancient Persians sprue that was available from Wargames Factory a while back.  I had tried some more fantasy looking as well as more sci-fi looking options, but I didn't like the results.  The hand on the heroclix is a bit small for a much larger weapons, and I tried to reinforce the joint with the weapon to make it less likely to break during play.  We'll see if it lasts!

 The group together was pretty fun to make and didn't take too long.  Let's hope they last in the game!

  2. My favourite has to be little Eric - such a cool conversion. That said, I do like them all. Good work, Steve.

    1. Glad you like them. Eric turned out pretty well, the base pose gave me a good base to start from.

  3. Ach, I don't trust Tina anyway :D Nice figures, thank you for sharing! I've only ever run with one Rep 2 survivor before - desperately attacking zombies from behind in the hope I can pop the weasel and level up somehow!

    1. Tina does seem shady... :) Yes, a Rep 2 survivor is going to be a challenge, I hope he can stay alive long enough to raise a level at least!

  4. Looking good nice conversion with the rifle on Eric suits the pose well.

    1. I was pleased with the final result. His pose gave me the idea for how he is holding his rifle. Thanks!

  5. Great additions to the 'gang', especially spear-wielding Brenda.

    1. Thanks! I had hoped for a more interesting spear, but they just didn't look right.
