Shadowrun: A Sci-Fi Indian

For the Shadows of Mumbai SR campaign, I've decided to convert a few Indians for the setting. Now you can be sure I'll be putting my Rezolution Sci-Fi Indian conversions to use in the game at some point, but I wanted a few more.

I have the good fortune of having gotten some Old Glory Afghan tribesman heads a while back.  These heads were masters used in the production of the OG Pathan Tribesmen range. They make great conversion fodder if you've got sci-fi models laying around.  A quick stroke of the jeweler's saw, and a bit of green stuff, and the conversion is complete!

Check out this China Town figure I did my first conversion on:

He'll make an ideal thug or bodyguard for SR or any near-future game.

A China Town Diversion

While rooting in one of my unpainted minis bins I found a cool China Town figure I had forgotten about. Sort of feral looking, I thought I'd paint him up for future RPG use, and so here he is!

Chinatown Again!

I recently traded for some more Chinatown miniatures with my friend Rich from NY. Over this weekend I needed a break from the Warmachine merc painting so I grabbed this guy and slapped some paint on him:









And here's a comp shot with a WGF Shock Trooper for scale:



He'll work great in just about any sci-fi game, and there's plenty more where he came from!

Chinatown Cyborgs

Back in the early 2000's the now sadly defunct Stone Circle Games produced the Chinatown line of 28mm sci-fi miniatures along with an accompanying rule-set. The figure line was a mixed bag, a sort of gonzo mish-mash that managed to channel classical Chinese myths, John Carpenter's Big Trouble in Little China, and the Feng Shui RPG all at once. Some of the figure releases for this line suffered from odd proportions, but many of them are pure miniature gold.

I've managed to accumulate quite a few, and I painted a pair from my backlog not too long ago, and so I thought I'd show them off today as a way to re-visit this sadly departed line of figures.

The Ashigaru Cyborgs are members of the Samba Garasu faction, a pair of lethal, augmented killers. Here I've re-based them onto washers--the Chinatown line is normally tabbed for slotted bases.











These dynamite models would make ideal foes for a Dark Heresy RPG game, and they would be just as at home in an AE-Bounty skirmish battle game. They'd also make excellent villains in a supers game.

As I get more minis from this line painted, I'll be sure to re-visit this topic in the future. And who knows, maybe J.D. Lauck from Mega Miniatures will track down the molds from this line and add them to his stable. We can only hope!
