we all love our gw minis but with the rise of 3d printing there are so many cool alternative
options on the market these days and today on the hobby grotto i'm going to be showing you some
awesome sci-fi minis that would be perfect for games like necromunda, inquisitor 28 or even some
of the awesome miniature agnostic games out there at the moment like one page rules. these miniatures
actually come from an upcoming game called the ibrik method and i'm going to be talking more
about that later in the video but i really just wanted to share a couple of my favorite designs by
Django the creator of these minis because i think they're really inspired and perfect for
a grim dark or post-apocalyptic setting. i've been talking about setting up some inquisitor 28 games
with my mates for a while now and these minis are definitely going to form the basis of my warbands
if you've never heard of this game definitely check it out it's very cool. now all these minis
are available for you to print yourself or have mailed out which is great because not everyone
has their own 3d printing setup yet, but i found these a blast to paint and really interesting
sculpts, like this guy! there was this old game called chaos engine on sega mega drive that my
mates and i used to play and this guy is straight out of there in my mind just some crazy grim dark
scientist style going on here and again another miniature that would be perfect for games in the
40k setting or anything you're playing really that's in a sci-fi zone. i was trying to go for
a bit of that old-school deep sea diver ancient tech look here, like what i do with my sky dwarves.
a great thing about painting minis for small model count games is you can really personalize
the color schemes and try interesting things it's quite liberating not having to paint everything in
an army scheme. i mentioned before that all these miniatures come from a game called ibrik method by
the surface world which is actually a really cool dust punk setting inspired by things like mad max
and borderlands but with its own brand of style imbued into it which is right up my alley!
now at the time of this video's release the game isn't out yet but definitely check out the links
below to keep up to date with it because it's a very cool setting and let me just say i'm always
for games that don't take up huge amounts of table space you know what i'm talking about.
now this is one of my favorite minis in the whole range so far and you can check them all
out in the links but i just love the brutal simplicity of this mini i mean this is what
a servitor is all about there's no mucking around it's just a big gun with legs. it's almost got this
abstract artistic quality to it perhaps even a bit surreal i don't know i love it and everything
it stands for, i'm particularly looking forward to using this mini in some upcoming games of
inquisitor 28 i have planned i think he'd just be right at home in that 40k setting.
i don't know how many of you played the original fallout games but the final boss
in fallout 1, dr gray was this crazy mutant that was melded with machinery
and that was pretty much my inspiration when i was painting this just google
some images of that character if you don't know and you'll see what i'm talking about.
i really wanted to get those blobs of flesh looking similar to that inspiration with some
glazing and i find contrast paints perfect for achieving these results
overall really happy with this mini it was fun to paint because it's simple and to the point
and it knows exactly what it is, a walking gun, awesome!
so there you have it a whole bunch of awesome alternative miniatures
