I have just been through a particularly busy time at work and have unfortunately been able to spend little time on the hobby, but things are settling down now so I thought I would show at what stage I am now.

I have six figures and the VW Camper I am now going to paint to completion, I will show you at what stage I am at with these at the end of this update. First I will show you at what stage some of the other figures are, and tell you my plans for them.

I hope to be able to update with my progress through out the week.

I also have a few new figures hat have arrived recently.

This is the group of figures I have so far for the clan in the painting shown in previous post. I have added some Yaks as I felt they kind of fitted in.

I purchased this cavalry figure (had to get a pack of three for this one figure but I have now got three great horses which I plan to use at some point in this project) I have performed a head swap and built the rudimentary banner using thick art paper soaked in super glue. I now need to green stuff the saddle and bedrolls/tarpaulins, the cloths wrapped around the tusks and the additional furs on the rider as well as his mask and goggles as well as the banner. then some fine detail such as reins, horns on the hat and other decorations.

I will remove the rifles from figures and two will be armed with spears, and the other two will have walking staffs and another one handed weapon yet to be determined. The officer will have his scabbard removed and I may try out a pistol in other hand. The female I will remodel the hat and her hair and leave her unmasked, all the others will have green stuff masks and goggles, they will have furs and rags sculpted on them as well as some ornamentation.

These guys and gals will be converted to represent Spitalians (one of 13 cults), I need to swap out the current women's heads and replace with the bald heads by Statuesque, I have a couple of gas mask heads from the Hasslefree Foxy figure one of which maybe both will have a pickelhaub sculpted on, I will replace weapons primarily using the sword (from GW Escher sprue) and the luger and Mauser, finally will need to green stuff a cape/cloak on a couple of them.

Some artwork of the Spitalians which I am hoping to represent.

A selection of figures to represent a group of scavengers/scrapers

Sorry picture is a bit dark, this will represent a Hel veticas (a militaristic swiss faction) will be looking for some more suitable figures, possibly manic or Hassle free corporate troops.

A Helvetica trooper

These will be converted to represent some of the Homo Degenesis (mutants). left to right; Pregnoctic, Psychokinetic and Bio kinetic.

Am about to run out of post entries so will continue in a second post.

What I have done so far.

I will initially use the models in my RPG sessions and I hope to eventually create some miniature rules for a tabletop game.

About Degenesis:

2073
The Eshaton. A swarm of asteroids from the far ends of the universe travels toward earth, ushering the end of humanity.
2595
500 years have passed. Earth is engulfed by a new ice age. Glaciers are carving their way through the old world. America, Asia, Australia have fallen. Only Europe and Africa are left as habitable zones. While Europe is caked in ice and snow, Africa has blossomed into a subtropical paradise. The Axis of the world is once again the Mediterranean Sea.
And Mankind hasn‘t given up just yet. From the ashes of a destroyed civilization, a new one has risen. Cults, clans and tribes are fighting for dominance in a world that is being reborn.
Apocalyptic sects raise fortresses in the landscape. Clans form new cities. Border towns rise from the settling asteroid dust. A whole people are on the move to harvest the artifacts of the lost generations. To rebuild earth in a new and glorious fashion.
But in the shadows of the craters something is moving. A strange virus that was traveling underneath the icy shell of the asteroids has started infecting humanity‘s DNA. The virus, called the Primer, is starting to mutate people who get in touch with it, transforming them, turning them into a new apex predator, a new race of human beings.
It‘s the birth of Homo Degenesis.
And this newcomer has the power to wrestle Homo Sapiens from the top of the food chain. Equipped with psychic powers beyond measure, Homo Degenesis has declared war on the upstart mankind, and man will fight back with full force. The battle for earth‘s legacy has begun.
13 Cults dominate the societies of the post apocalyptic world. These cults have enormous economical, political or religious power. Their struggles shatter the reborn settlements and make the earth tremble. Each of them has it‘s vision of a civilization blossoming under their tenure and each of them will do the impossible to make their goals come true.
But the dominance of the cults is being tested for the first time. Across the wastelands the old clans rise. United by hate, the clans wage war under new banners, destroying the power structures that once held them at bay. Everything is at stake, and in the wake of the onslaught, the cults will have to make their stand.
This is their legacy.
The games is beautifully produced with some of the best artwork out there (though some of it may need to be censored from Justin sensitive eyes).
I will include some of the images from these books throughout this project log.

When visiting SALUTE this year I went with the specific purpose of finding miniatures suitable for this project and I was quite successful this was my haul.
