The Jailbirds got a couple of new vehicles this week but they, themselves, were out of reach for photos! We'll make do with some of their potential adversaries like trusty Canoness Veridyan (GW).
The vehicles were 3D printed on a Snapmaker at high quality. The files came from a Duncan "Shadow" Louca vehicle Kickstarter.
These continue the badlands nomad theme that is basically a Flesh Wash (Secret Weapon) over the standard Khaki workup.
The wheels were painted Rubber (Secret Weapon) and the weathering was done with Secret Weapon technical paints. Old Mud, Caked Dirt, Engine Metal, and Rust Shadow.
Rust Shadow makes an excellent liner and gives a "Borderlands" style shadow. I think it will look really great with some other vehicles colors which I'll get into when I'm doing some of the civilian vehicles pressed into service by the caravan.
Repo-Man! is a very vital vehicle for the Jailbirds. Their gear is mostly second tier except for their bikes which are cutting edge. The Jailbirds basically drag anything they can get off the field although they tend to focus on wheeled vehicles since they are easier to operate and maintain in their caravan lifestyle.
The Jailbirds are much more organized and uniform that the typical "Mad Max-esque" Badlanders as they also form semi-regular military formations. Basically they wear uniforms of a sort and their vehicles are identifiable as part of a regular, if somewhat eclectic, military unit.
"Tailgater" with Mantic Star Saga marines and Forgeworld ripper swarms for scale. I used magnets for the turret and for the hatches with the idea to optionally use Raging Heroes Ash, Tank Gunner as a vehicle commander.
Repo-Man shown with Travelling merchant (Anvil Industries) or Trader Joe as he is known to the Jailbirds.
I saw some construction cranes the other day that had all the moving surfaces finished in a rubbery black color and thought that would be better than a shiny metal, attention attracting, surface.
A last look at Repo-Man with Raging Heroes Void Elves for scale.
Last, I did basing and prep for a couple of Reaper minis for an RPG character. A halfling Ranger, a couple of big dogs, and a triad of pups. One of the dogs to be a Saint Bernard the other probably a Rottweiler or something similar to make the dogs easy to identify.
