Magpie and Old Lead

Jabba the Hutt is, aside from Vader, probably the mode iconic Star Wars bad guy.

The Sinkhole Boggarts face off against the Data Kings.

Now I've painted up the scavvy king and completed the entire Confrontation range, I've uploaded some catalogue style images of the full range.

Back in 2014, when I pulled out some old Bratt miniatures and painted them anew, I didn't imagine that it was the start of a Confrontation obsession that has lasted twelve years.

Back in 2016, my good friend Asslessman painted up one of Jes Goodwin's Nurgle champions as part of his scavvy gang.

Back in 2018 or 2019, our Necromunda group played a big multiplayer rolling road game - everyone mounted their gang in one or more vehicles.

Many of you will be aware of Bring Out Your Lead (BOYL), the annual Oldhammer event that has been hosted by Wargames Foundry since 2013.

I'm certain that scavvies would try and recruit an ogryn into their gang if at all possible.

Three more scavvies to swell the ranks.

You can cut and paste all of the comments I made about scavvies and heavy stubbers to apply to scavvies with grenade launchers.

It wouldn't be right to have a Confrontation-era scavvy gang without including the beautiful unreleased scavvies from the masterful hands of Jes Goodwin.

Before anyone says anything, I know scavvy gangs can't have heavy stubbers.

Building on the three scavvies from my last post, I wanted to add in some cool characters to the gang.

After several months of painting Bob Olley figures, I wanted a bit of a break, so decided to get back on with the Confrontation scavvies.

I've painted a fair few buildings over the last couple of years for my Hyam's Landing setting.

I love making and painting terrain.

Back to some incidental Star Wars characters and painting up Bob Olley sculpts where they just seem to fit!

Lando was always my favourite character from the original Star Wars trilogy.

This pair of Jedi have taken longer than I anticipated, but I'm happy to have completed my Bob Olley versions of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda.

With several WIP figures from the rebellion sitting unfinished on my desk, I decided to get this pair of Olley Stormtroopers done quickly.

On to two of my favourite Star Wars characters: Han & Chewie (once again with a Bob Olley twist!).

After all those Imperials before Christmas, it was high time to revisit the rebels, and what better way to do it than with the Skywalkers.

No, it's not the Emperor on the Golden Throne; it's the other one with the dark robe, weird eyes and lighting bolts shooting out of his hands!

I'll preface this post by saying that I have no plans to make 4-LOM.

These should need no introduction after my first set of stormtroopers, just another group of Kryomek Nexus SWAT troopers.
