Hello

I started topic on DakkaDakka forum, You can find a little more info there.
Miniature im talking about are based ( I suppose ) on PC game S.T.A.L.K.E.R
If You know any website selling them please let me know.

Hello
It's been a long time... Hopefully summer and my holidays are comming. With break from university I will have more time for painting. Some time ago I discovered Necromunda. Well I was aware of fact that such game exist but never really realized how great it is. As a fan of postapocalypse of all kinds I felt Necromunda like home. I dare to say that Necromunda has on of the richest story and background from the all GW systems. It blends with 40k universe in great way and create it own unique setting. While there is more than enough different gangs and characters in Necromunda to suit everyons taste, nothing really stop you from creating your own or including some 40k characters ( like Marines, Orks or famous Genestealers cult). You can download Necromunda rulebook for free from GW website. And since GW is offering it for free I think downloading its older version is legal. I recomend it because of great Eavy Metal pictures and more content.
My collection is slowly growing. I will paint them whenever I could. And post pictures ofcourse. So far I have done 2 Underhive Scums, one Bounty Hunter and one Pit Slave. Enjoy :)

Hello
I thought it's a good idea to expand a little my hobby and try something new. I love GW miniatures but its good to breath some fresh air from time to time. After some research in CMON I have found Copplestone Castings. Some of You may know this company. It remainds me Foundry a little. They have pretty good prices. A set of 4-5 miniatures costs from 6,5 to 8,5 pounds. So it's not bad comparing to GW or Reaper. Copplestone Castings has some very nice range of miniatures. Adventurers, Gangsters, Dark Future, 1st World War, Fantasy, Darkest Africa, etc. I really like their design. CC miniatures ( imo ) are not super serious. They look a bit like characters from comics or old movies. They remaind me childhood and all those old movies, like Indiana Jones, Mad Max or Aliens ( they even has some marines very similar to those form movie and Predator miniatures :P ). I was in mood for 30s and prohibition so I ordered some miniatures form their gangsters range.
Here it is. Nice looking with some nice amount of details and a few flash lines. I would say 5/5 points. They are supplied with 20mm bases which look funny compearing to GW 25mm bases. But they suits CC minis perfectly. Don't know why because CC and GW minis are the same scale. They just do look better on 20mm.
I hope to find some time and paint them. Then I will post pictures.
In the meantime take a look at some CC minis pictures which I found in the internet.
