Strontium Dog - Assorted Humans and Mutants 01

I finish my look at the new wave 1 figures for Warlord Games' Strontium Dog skirmish game as well as a few other figures that can be used in the game.

These three figures are sold as Goons by Warlord Games. Goons are classed as Minor Characters, basically unnamed mooks. Leaders can spend Collateral to call upon their allies for extra models during the Set Up at a cost of 50,000 Credits per roll on the tables. Goons are found on the Outlaws table - the scourge of honest folk, businesses, travellers and their fellow sentient beings wherever they crop up.

At the far left is a Goon armed with twin basic hand blasters. His colleague in the centre wields a single basic hand blaster. At the far right, this Goon is armed with a basic blaster rifle. These three figures are sold as a blister pack with no extras for just £8.00. As generic Goons, I do like them. Indeed, I could find a use for them in most sci-fi games, especially Judge Dredd or N.E.W.

Next up are a pair of Strontium Dogs who were produced by Wargames Foundry - Evans the Fist and the Torso from Tyneside. Both took a major part in the Mutant Uprising against the government in 2167 and were given the ranks of general. They are both allies of Johnny Alpha. Evans the Fist has an abnormally large and strong right arm which gives him a +1 to his Fight stat but -1 to his Shoot stat. Torso's mutation is no head - his facial features are located on his chest and he only has one eye. This gives him a +1 to his Resist stat but he is limited to a Front Facing fire arc due to his limited vision arc. Note that neither of these characters are listed in the Strontium Dog rulebook, but it is an easy matter to work out their stats. I'd class them as Minor Characters.

Second from the right is a Kreeler, a soldier and follower of Nelson Bunker Kreelman, the father of Johnny Alpha and a bigoted politician who drafted the anti-mutant laws and gained power on the back of bigotry. As a generic NPC he'd be classed as an Ally from the Military. He is armed with a basic stormer. This figure was produced by Wargames Foundry and is now out of production.
Finally is a mutant trader called Tombstone Toothbrush. He was a very minor character in the 2000AD comic. I forget which story he appeared in (it wasn't Strontium Dog) but I do remember he was drawn by Kevin O'Neill, so he may have appeared in a Nemesis the Warlock story. His mutations are purely cosmetic in game terms - an oversized head and three fingers per hand. I sculpted him in the 1990's. Note his trademark toothbrush stuck in the side of his hat.
