Xenos Rampant: The Survivors

My fourth completed detachment, and the protagonists of my little Roswell’ 98 setting are The Survivors. I recently finished painting a few units for this band and I’ve got many, many human models painted at this scale now, so this detachment could easily go beyond the standard 24pts. This post will only address the 24 though.

Xenos Rampant: Three Creature Feature Detachments

Working on Post Apoc models for my Roswell ’98 project, has lent itself to being a large stepping stone to Xenos Rampant (XR) Detachments. This week, I painted up a handful of models that flexed what where Gaslands Scenario creatures and obstacles into their own Xenos Rampant Detachments.

Xenos Rampant: Ex-Military

My Roswell ’98 project, post-apoc at 20mm, has provided the opportunity to use models for a variety of rulesets. Originally, it was designed for Gaslands and Zona Alpha. Having played Lion Rampant last summer, I became a big fan of Daniel Mersey’s rules, so with the release of his Xenos Rampant, many of my R’98 factions are going to get fleshed out a little more.

Dracula’s America: Outlaws

Battletech: Clan Mechs

Blitz Bowl: Lizardmen Team

My son has been wanting to try out the Lizardmen team for awhile, but I tend to lean on a pretty strict “Play it Painted” mentality, so we haven’t run this squad in our Blitz Bowl games. Additionally, I struggled a bit with what color scheme I wanted to go with. Finally, I decided, the heck with it, let’s get ’em done.

Blitz Bowl: The Khorne Team

In early September, I decided I’d take the new Khorne Team to Chaos Cup (a post on that team is forthcoming). While doing that team, I went ahead and worked on a Blitz Bowl (BzB) team at the same team. Spoiler alert…they don’t use the same team colors. The BzB Khorne Team is essentially a separate project. Why’d I go with different colors? And what’s with those red skin tones? Read on…
