Just finished my first 4 bases of Caccaran riot police for the ongoing imagi Nations game.
Very odd as I was glossing the helmets to the sounds of Greece going up in smoke :o :-X
We want photos :D
Taken a few. Will try posting tommorow.
Anyway I shall bring a few to the game tonight :P
Zombies make great protesters! ;D
Yeah, photos would be great! I would be interested in your riot police and zombie protestors as I'm planning (hey, isn't there is always some 'future' project to do!) VBCW circa 1975. I believe there are some stone throwing figures from the fantasy beggar army - are you using any of them ?
Cheers
Hello D255.
I was going to use some of the stone throwers. However the urge came over me fairly quicly so I used what was at hand for the first wave of proof of concept. Which in this case was 25 spare zombies found lying around
They look okay.
As for riot police. I have used the Vietnam US troops with a little trimming and paint job. Add a riot shield made from clear plastic from a hole punch for the smaller 'snatch' shields and rectangle for the larger shields.
Riot guns/gas launchers I used the US blooper troopers.
Gun crew and the Russian commisar help fill in a few other positions.
Will wrestle with technology later for pics.
Hope that helps.
Can't get pictures on. too large :(
will call round earlier tonight and show you if you want
I've hit the thing with a stick, and shouted. What else is there? :'( :D :D
Testing testing

Work still in progress but you get the idea.

Great stuff.
Two points:
1) maybe some flesh wash?
2) You need a sign like this for your rioters (unless they're british teachers on strike) :

Now you've worked out the posting of pics issue, when are the SYW/Imaginations pics going to be posted?
Those police look excellent, great stuff.
Very nicely done 8)
Hi RoT
Many thanks for the piccies and the information. I particularly like your ideas of using the US Vietnam figures and the hole punch for the shields - fantastic! A great set of figures that are very well done and inspirational.
I know that feeling rather well

So cheers for making the effort
Cheers for the comments guys :)
Tried a HOTT battle last night. Just to get the feel and add inspiration.
Lots of running up and down the streets the Trumpton Riots :D :D
Great fun and if Sandanists had actualy rolled higher that 3 for the whole battle the police may have got worried ;D
Piccies were taken by said rioter so may appear at some time.

Just need RoT to post the pics now
Still got to work out how you managed to get half of them upside down!
Did the riot police give that much of a pounding? :P
Don't worry should get some more painted up, and the Chiggley anarchists are on the march. ;D
Looks as if these guys are going to get another outing :-X
I'll have to add the looting rules :-[
Luton rules? Demotion to the conference and constant wrangling over who owes what for the rent of the pitch...
Oh, sorry - LOOTING!
btw - pint & riot have the same root when predictive texting, so many people in trouble this week asking if I want a riot!
