[FF22] A Motley Assortment of Figs

Post by Joshua » Thu Feb 17, 2022 12:18 am

All of my entries are purist.

Alexander Hagen - Post-Apocalyptic Survivor

After the immense Space Carrier built by the people on planet Tyndor 3 suffered a critical malfunction and exploded, it caused a nuclear explosion so devastating it killed 85% of the planet's population. Additionally, nearly all surviving creatures and people were mutated beyond recognition from the residual radiation. One of the few that survived, Alexander Hagen now struggles to survive in the hostile wastelands that now cover nearly 2/3 of Tyndor 3. He has armed himself to the teeth and wears durable armor to help even out his chances of survival.

Jeremiah Renick - Wandering Adventurer

Born in a small village on the outskirts of the Great Forest, Jeremiah is the son of the village's blacksmith. He was trained in the ways of war and at the age of 20, struck out on his own as a mercenary. Despite being a hired fighter, he has strict morals, and has occasionally turned against his employer if their task conflicted with his code. Nowadays he has just about given up on being a mercenary, preferring to roam the country as he pleases, taking up odd jobs here and there when necessity demands it.

Elite Light Assault Commandos - E.L.A.C

The Elite Light Assault Commandos, or ELAC for short, are a regiment of soldiers used by the Aldean Protectorate in their numerous military campaigns. The ELAC are famed for their quick hit-and-run tactics, utilizing their jetpacks to move extremely quickly towards their targets. Enemies not dispatched with their G-12 Carbines are sliced apart with their deadly laser swords. The Incinerator Jump Packs each soldier is equipped with allows for 2 hours of continuous flight before giving out.

Thalia Ahrendue - Resurrected Space Elf

Once a captain in the Space Elves military, Thalia was killed in a explosion during the Siege of Arion. She didn't stay dead, however, as she was informed of a war between a king and his old advisor, now a corrupt sorcerer. She was then instructed to fight against the encroaching darkness, before being placed upon a unfamiliar world. She is now armed with a staff weapon, replacing the duel pistols she used to wield in battle.

2nd Lieutenant Arthur Galls - nicknamed 'Old Reliable'

A 2nd Lieutenant in the New Confederate Army on the war-torn hell scape also known as Ulvor Prime. He's been fighting in the war for over 15 years now, having been enlisted at the age of 47. Trench warfare has become the primary strategy of the war, and Galls is no stranger to it. The battlefields are often enveloped in greenish-gray smog and he wears a gas regulator to make the otherwise toxic fumes breathable. He is armed with a semi-automatic machine pistol, a katana for close range, and for when all else fails his trusty .44 Magnum revolver.

Test Subject No. 12

Once a regular minifig, he was captured by the PLA and experimented upon in hopes of creating a super-soldier by mixing pumpkin DNA with that of a minifig. Well, let's just say it didn't all go according to plan. Test Subject No. 12 was slated to be exterminated, but he escaped confinement mere hours later. He was immediately pursued, but managed to escape for good. After that, all records of him were destroyed, and it was like he never existed. Although eventually, he returned with a vengeance. Armed with a Laser Rifle with under-barrel grenade launcher and a BT Chainsword, he hunted down each of his captors and the scientists one by one, and exacted his revenge on them.

And there you have it! Six new minifigs for your viewing and reading pleasure! Since this is my first figbarf, I appreciate any and all constructive criticism.

Wow i didn't even notice the backgrounds, but I think it's because they're very natural environments without taking from the figs. These are really classic brikwars designs.
I make apocalypses and apocalypse accessories.

A nice set of assorted figs. Each feels like it has a character and background on its own. The little vignettes put the finishing touch on it.
