Alithean light armored tractor By Zombiesmith





A quick paint job on the new Quar Ailthean light tractor from Zombiesmith. Painted up as a the dreaded, hated crusaders of Alykinder (this might be the start of a Crusader force for my wonderful Royalist to shoot at)
As you can see there were a few air bubbles with some missing rivets but all in all the kit is nicely done. The kit comes in 10 pieces along with a half quar driver:(which I did not include) the main body turret and bottom half, two treads , Main gun, smoke stack, hatch and 3 climbing rungs. Everything goes together fine and is nicely detailed, the only issues was the air bubbles that I might replace and fix later but I did not have anything on hand to do it with at this time so I just did the paint job.

power loader

Well I officially hate yellow paint, but I finished my Power loader for my Yuzzem crew. The two shots show it with the protective front piece and with out





As I said earlier the Power loader was made from bits from my bit box, plastic tubes some old toy parts and a converted Starwars toy Yuzzem figure

Large Marge working in her lovely Quar Garden.


Marge the sister of Toffer Dean and Aunt to Wiffler is bigger than most Quar hence her nickname. Marge loves her garden and when not gardening can be found at the local pub knocking back Bogen barrel whiskey with the best of them.

Power Loader: I made this from various parts in my bit box (waste not want not). I bit more work on sanding down some parts and then onto the painting.



The Heavy Weapon Gunner: was made from an old Disney toy laser cannon of which I used other parts for other projects and had a few of these left over, putty and bits from my bit box.
The crew is coming together…watch out.

Just a Few WIP pictures for my Yuzzem crew.

Spent the night lopping off arms and heads and repositioning them creating whole new looks, leaving me with 2 new groups.




. Set 2, Trooper with rifle, a Hero with a plasma fist/club, and a heavy weapons trooper with missile launcher.

. Set 3 a mechanic with a giant Wrench, a Salvager worker carrying a pipe, and one twisting to the side.

Later I need to do some gap filling, adding some hands and re sculpting new fur. onward and upward.

New Alien Ship's crew




The Start of a new alien ship’s crew.
I started with the Wiz Kid Star Wars figure of a Yuzzem, bear like race and a pretty cool figure as is.

This is the finished figure after a repaint.




I did the first one without any additions to see how it would paint up (being the plastic bendy stuff they make them out of). I had repainted one clix figure before(see my kid zombie hunters) and I like how it turned out so I thought I would try again. He turned out ok if I don’t say so myself so I bought some more to do a Crew (well I bought like 20 of them) and at less than a dollar a piece how can you go wrong.



Now for the crew I did not want all the same look so I reworked the first set of five, cutting off arms and repositioning them added new weapons, scars, closing the mouths, just to add some variations. The Clixy figures are pretty soft and cut easily so that was not a problem. I then filled in some gaps with putty, re-sculpted some fur and there you have it 5 different (well different enough) figures. On the next set I will try the reposition a few heads and leg, we will see how that turns out.





Most of the alien weapons were made from GW bits and other part from my bit box.

The next set will have an Engineer/medic/ maybe a very heavy weapons trooper/ one carrying something? Who knows? Any suggestion would be appreciated
Thanks and I hope you like them.
