WIP Reaper Bones proxy Space Hulk marines counts-as


Made some progress on these, so posting them, mainly to give myself a kick to get them finished. Each model represents one of the Terminators from the Space Hulk box.

Reaper Bones proxy Space Hulk marines counts-as


After a couple of games of Space Hulk, we felt that it was a bit strange that the hulking Space Marine Terminators dropped so easily. So I had a rummage through the Reaper Bones Kickstarter box and started bashing together a motley crew of intrepid and opportunistic Space-Hulk-Spelunkers (or "Spunkers").


Detector-doodad dude.


Standard mook with door cutter.


Nid-toaster.


Hammer and shield sergeant who always dies horribly. This model kind of reminds me of a Sister of Battle, so I might go that route with the paintjob.


Redshirts. The black patterned bases are from a hardware store, they are actually rubber pads for putting on the bottoms of table legs.


Redshirt pointing at something.


Bangy bangy cannon man.


I ran out of models / couldn't come up with a dual-wielder that I liked, so I upgraded this one's chainsaw. I might replace her if I find a more suitable model, because she doesn't look like she'd do much good against a Genestealer.


Spooky wizardy bloke.



Still playing with bits on the other sergeant. In other games he might be an Inquisitor / Rogue Trader.

Mantic and Reaper Bones Skeletons, and Space Hulk

Painted up some more Reaper Bones miniatures and some Mantic Skeletons. The Reaper Bones ones were a bit of a pain to base because of the 'broccoli' base they come with (I don't know why they're called broccoli bases, they taste nothing like it).

I have some Mantic Skeletons after mistakenly stealing a sprue of them from a Mantic stall a few years ago. They're nice to paint, and much cheaper than the GW equivalent. If I were a Fantasy player I'd run a horde of these things along with their zombies.


I also got a game called 'Space Hulk' and am trying to convince the GF to play it.


Later, I took the rulebook to the beach just to take this next silly picture:
