Copplestone Scavengers Part 1

Been meaning to pick up these guys for a while. They are a wonderful ragtag looking bunch of fighters wearing scavenged tattered gear and armed with a wide mix of weapons and equipment. I picked two packs  out of the four sets from Copplestone Castings Future Wars line. From the Scavengers section the two packs I picked are the Scouts and Tankbusters. I plan on using them mainly for Across the Dead Earth as they have a generic look to them. Though some may find there way in to zombie gaming at some point. I may get the characters and the standard pack as well at somepoint as they have shotguns in those packs which will come in handy later on.

The tankbusters I picked up mainly for the guy with the flame thrower and the guy lobbing the molotov and armed with an smg. Though one of the rocket launcher guys will come in hand for Across the Dead Earth. I'll still paint them all up though. I may get an urge do an alien invasion or perhaps a terminator themed game they'd fit in that theme well as well.

First 3 guys finished have just been picked randomly from the ten miniatures of both packs. I felt a bit rusty with these guys and at first the colours I chose seemed a bit to bright so I changed/toned them down a bit so they'll seem different from the paint table Saturday pics. I'll be working on the other 7 figures over the next few weeks as I want to get my eye back into painting more regularly as it seems to have been less and less lately.

First two guys are from the Scouts pack with the guy armed with the flame thrower from the tankbusters. My only issue with these sets was the mould lines that went across the faces they where a pain to clean off. Never had that problem before with any Copplestone figs so not sure why it happened with these guys.
