In the shady parts of the galaxy, like seedy bars and dark
ally ways, there are always those men who survive by their own wits, who use
their skill and skulduggery to earn a credit or two.
Handle Rex and Emilio Smith are good examples of just such
men.
Handle Rex is a ruffian and a thief. He has a reputation for
getting the job done; wither that is steeling a cargo ship or collecting an
unpaid debt. Working as a freelancer, he has hired himself out to a number of
criminal organisations that find his particular skill set an asset to their
operations.
Emilio Smith is a drifter and a gambler, who is often found
frequenting the drinking holes and chance-dens on the outer rim worlds. He is
quick witted, but is equally quick with his gold plated pistol, and many a fool
who has mistaken him for some over -dressed dandy, has found that was the last
mistake they made.
I was rummaging around in a box of old figures, looking for
something to paint for the blog, when I came across a few likely candidates for
my scifi campaign. The theme for my campaign is ‘Scum and Villainy’ and is
inspired by the many oddball residents of Mos Eisley, and of the scifi/western setting
of Firefly and Serenity.
Handle Rex is a Games Workshop Necromunda gang member,
and Emilio Smith is a cowboy form Artizan Designs. I have already painted on of
these cowboys for my western campaign, and rather than convert him or paint a
duplicate, I thought I would rebase him and use him for my scifi collection. As
usual the bases are resin and made by Fenris Games.
