Since the destruction of Terra humanity has been scattered
through the depths of space, surviving in colonies, refugee fleets or on the
peripheries of the galaxies other societies. One of the traits that make
humanity such an enduring race is the way they can adapt rapidly to changes in
circumstances, find niches and start to thrive. Harrison Huck is an example of
such a man.
Huck grew up an orphan in the Hope refugee fleet, but found
distinction as the owner-captain of a scavenger ship named Pretty Girl. The
Pretty Girl is an old decommissioned asteroid mining vessel Huck found
in a scrap yard. He and his motley crew now ply the shipways, searching for
space junk, worn out satellites and shipwrecks to strip and salvage. Their
activity is only semi-legal, and many take exception to what they see as grave
robbing, but Huck knows he can rely on Pretty Girl to get him out of a
tight spot. She may look like a pile of junk roughly welded together, but the
thick armour of an asteroid ship, coupled with a few surprise weapons Huck has scavenged over the years, means Pretty Girl is far from defenceless.
Harrison Huck- a born survivor! |
Huck’s first mate is Catha Ray’al, or Cat for short. She is
an Illtahi, a race of shape shifters. The Illtahi are universally despised for
being untrustworthy and devious, but Cat seems to be something of an exception.
After Huck rescued her from a Callian slaver she has been his loyal companion,
and his enforcer. Her quick reflexes and the natural paranoia of the Illtahi have
saved Huck’s life more than once.

Huck is a Games Workshop Tank Crew. I love his helmet and
shifty look- he just looks like a scavenger! I am not sure who makes Cat- I got
her of my mate Leon, so perhaps he can enlighten me. I like her because she is clearly
morphing her hand into some sort of spiky weapons- a pretty cool look.
Nicely done. I quite like all the GW tank crew they are a nice set. Classic figures. No idea about the second one either but I agree its a cool pose.
ReplyDeleteGreat work. The shifter I don't know who makes it either but could make for a cool super hero/villain as well.
ReplyDeleteYou've drafted a fine man in Huck. The painting is sweet, and the base is perfect for this guy. I'd love to shrink him down to 15mm!
ReplyDeleteVery nice. Huck in 15mm would be a must have item.
ReplyDeleteI think the unidentified mini is from the Battleground game; it was a tabletop minis game that tied into White Wolf's Trinity / Aberrant / Adventure rpg timeline.
ReplyDeleteI am going to guess that the sculptor is maybe Bob Naismith who did much of the Superfigs range.
