Continuing with my ‘quick wins’ focus, these are two guard dogs for use with my Resistance force in Terminator: Genysis.
As they are really just markers of which models have dogs with them (the game actually uses cardboard tokens for this), I didn’t take too much time or effort over them.
However, they are better than cardboard.
This is the last of the Copplestone huskies I picked up cheaply several years ago, with the aim of them becoming Soviet mine dogs.

They’ve actually been used in a variety of projects, and noticeably not as mine dogs.
Personally, I think he looks good as a guard dog; alert, attentive, focused on the job at hand...
...unlike this chap.
This dog actually came in a pack of Native American villagers from Redoubt Enterprises, and is more suitable as part of a vignette than as a game piece. However, the addition of a crate, no doubt chock-full of essential supplies, for him to urinate on adds a touch of humour to a bleak future for humanity.
In game, guard dogs give the Resistance a better chance of spotting T-800 Infiltrators, which has become more important now Matt has started sneaking these into his Machine forces.
They add a massive 10 points to my force, but they could be crucial.
Another satisfying quickie, thanks Kieron ;-)
ReplyDeleteWhole heartedly agree with replacing tokens where possible, and these are ideal for the job - and I just love the 'mini vignette' :-)
Thanks. There’s no reason for these not to be modelled, and it was easy enough to do using spares I had knocking around.
DeleteGreat job on them both but I absolutely love that dog cocking his leg!
ReplyDeleteI’ve been struggling to think of what to do with him since I got him. I’m happy to have found a use for him.
DeleteBrilliant, the one taking a comfort break is just priceless.
ReplyDeleteExcellent stuff, and the dog marking his territory is ace. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat pieces, I have a smallcollection ofa dozen or so dogs, but have never had the courage to paint them!
ReplyDeleteI didn’t do anything fancy, just a base coat, wash and a dry brush.
DeleteI recently did an Alsatian which took a little more effort, but not much.
They indeed look perfect for what you intend them for. A quick and easy solution to replace these counters.
