Insurgent Earth: The Institute crew

 This is a crew I've painted for a community competition over on the Stalker7 facebook community, it's a nice place. Patrick Todoroff collects all his different systems in that one group, a brilliant idea not splitting everything up. He also runs fairly regular competitions. 

I found these miniatures in the boxes in the garage. They are from Endure The Stars and The Others, both kickstarters I've gotten cheap and broken even on by selling excess minis. These are for Insurgent Earth, a solo/coop system. 

They are three scientists from The Institute (that's also part on my Zona Alfa lore) and their two military guides. They're painted quickly with speed paint, with only prewashing on the skin parts. The institute has their regular yellow color scheme with blue details and the blue triangle. 

I haven't checked if the group is in anyway rules legal, but it was a nice excuse to use some of those models just living in a box. 

Here they group are with their t.r.o.l.l. suit done for a Zona Alfa competition. 

The conversion work on these was very minimal, it was just adding packs to all the characters and a few belt details. Super easy, but making them more tacticool. 

Why not check out the LinkTree and go see some other hobby SoMe? Linktree here. 

Zona Alfa: Instute Mech

This big clunky mech was painted for a competition over on the Stalker7 facebook community, it's an absolutely amazing group containing all P. Todoroffs different systems. He's great at running competitions and always offers nice prizes as well. 

In order to contribute to that community, I always try and find something to paint for it. This huge robot is from the Reichbusters kickstarter (I won an auction for it really cheaply). Most of it I've sold on (and broke even, so the rest is free for me). 

I added a claw (from Warhammer 40k) but otherwise it's not converted. For The Institute (a faction I made up for zona alfa / Insurgent Earth) the yellow color / blue triangle is used on all of it. 

A quick and easy paint job, tried throuwing on a lot of weathering with washes and drybrushing. 

Patrick Todoroff is doing amazing skirmish games and you should consider getting some of them. They can all be found on Wargames Vault. 

Here's the robot with a team of scientists and their two bodyguards.

If you enjoy all manner of miniature blogging, follow some of the social media. I try to use all of them differently. You can find them on linktree. Also considere giving a look on Guilders: A Life In Shadows, a skirmish campaign game I'm working on.
