First up is the Chainsaw gang, and it's obvious why they are so named.
The figures on both ends are the same figure, but they have interchangeable heads. I looked at a lot of chainsaws on Google, and found that the blade that carries the chain is pretty plain. That makes sense, as they are always up against the edge of the cut. The figure on the left has a welder's helmet, blue jeans, and a dark wifebeater. The lower arms are cast as a separate piece with the chainsaw. This gives great grip, but a bit strange around the elbows. The second figure is more nattily (?) dressed with a t-shirt and pants with a pocket chain. One arm and one hand are molded with the chainsaw and must be glued to the figure. Pretty good fit.
The monster in the center has his two arms separate with the chainsaw molded with his right hand and arm. The arms fit into the armholes quite well. I anticipated a lot of trouble getting them to fit but was pleasantly surprised. He pretty obviously is not adept with his chainsaw. All his exposed flesh is covered with nasty scars. A very impressive figure! The last figure is wearing a motocross helmet. Note that his shirttail has come untucked.
Now we have the Franken gang. Obviously, some weird stuff goes on in the labs on the island of Artigo.
On the left, we have Hamlet, addressing Yorrick, who seems to be replying! His arms are of two different sizes, and he is stitched up on his abdomen, and has metal pieces covering his backbone.
Next we have the first pieced together boy. I had a lot of fun painting different skin tones at each joining. A real Frankenstein monster!
Next we have the fellow doing Tai Chi. He also has different sized arms, is stitched up the front and has metal covering his backbone, or perhaps it is his backbone.. It reminds me of a joke by a long-gone comedian, Chris Rush, which I won't explain. And the final construct. I went with metal staples fastening the parts together, and pale blue plastic for kneecaps and other parts.
All of these gangs are covered in the upcoming add-on to the rules.
And some GW topless barbarians from 1985 & 1987! They were named on their slotta tabs.
They will be added to my barbarians!
Finally, two more Amazons, who were misplaced. So easy to paint, other than their shield design.
About all you can do with painting these figures is give them different shield designs, hair, and skin tones. I know others might go wild with tattoos, but I'm not that guy. And yes, per James Bond, the collar and cuffs match!
