Strontium Dog - Johnny & Wulf on Morks

I have been busy painting the wave 3 release figures for the Strontium Dog skirmish game by Warlord Games. These two figures show Johnny Alpha and his partner, Wulf Sternhammer, riding Morks.
Bounty hunters often need to track their quarry into the wildlands beyond towns and cities, and on many worlds the indigenous Morks are the mount of choice. These bipedal mammals combine speed and durability with a seemingly high tolerance of radiation making them ideal steeds for bounty hunter and outlaw alike. Mork farms are not an unusual sight in the homesteads on the fringes of society.
Johnny Alpha and his Viking partner, Wulf Sternhammer made good use of Morks on many of their bounty-hunting jobs - from tackling the vicious alien outlaws, Bubo and his gang of Howler Bad Boys to protecting alien farmsteaders from bullying neighbours intent on driving the Search/Destroy agents out. Allying speed and resilience, Morks can reliably get them to where they need to be - much to the chagrin of their quarry.
This set contains the two figures shown above, 2 character cards, 1 Armoury card (Medipack) and 2 Chicanery cards (Can I Borrow That? and Counter-Attack). It costs £15.00 from the Warlord Games store. I like these figures but I don't expect I'll get much use out of them. Incidentally, this is now my eighth figure of Johnny Alpha and my fifth figure of Wulf Sternhammer.

  1. Great work on Johnny and Wulf Bryan, nice looking models as you say maybe limited use but a great addition none the less

    1. Much appreciated, Dave. Much like the figures of Johnny and Wulf on the skimmer bikes, they won't see a lot of play but they're still useful additions.

    1. Many thanks, Roger. I must admit that I too thought of Mork and Mindy when I first saw what these beasts were called.

  4. Those minis look very nice indeed, Bryan, and are probably worth painting just for their look even if you don't feel you'll get much use out of them in-game. Would you recommend painting them with the riders attached, or as sub assemblies?

    1. Cheers, Simon. These come with the bodies sculpted onto the Morks. Only the riders' right arms are separate components. Thus, you have to paint them as a single entity. This didn't bother me at all as I prefer painting mounted figures that are glued to their mount or part of them as these are.

  8. Two legged camels was my first thought, followed swiftly by the sad thought that you'd been short changed by Warlord, and then I read your text and it all became clear. ;)

    Another interesting set of figures Bryan, well done I'm just so impressed at your output it's amazing.
    Well done and keep it up.
    Cheers

    1. Many thanks, John. If you've never seen a Mork before then I can fully understand your confusion. More Morks on display today with my next post.

  10. I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.

  11. My name is Olisa Blessing, I am so pleased. I never believe I will be this glad again in life. I have worked as an air hostess ( cabin crew ) for 3years but early this year, I lost my job because of this deadly disease called Herpes virus (HSV).
    I never felt sick or notice any symptoms. Not until the day all workers were asked to bring their current doctor's report card, that was how I got tested and I found out that I'm HSV positive and that made me lose my job because it was considered as an STD and is an incurable disease.
    I was so depressed to the extent that I started thinking of suicide. I explained my situation to an older friend of mine, who often said to me 'a problem shared is a problem half solved.
    She felt so pity for me that she referred Dr. Utu Herbal Cure to me, that was how I contacted Dr. Utu and got the herbal medication from him and was permanently cured for real.
    I went back to my chore a month later with a HERPES NEGATIVE test result. They were astonished and curious when they saw my HSV NEGATIVE result so they carried out another test on me in the company lab to be very sure and they found out I am indeed a HERPES VIRUS FREED PERSON.
    Finally, the initial HERPES POSITIVE result was replaced with a new HERPES NEGATIVE test result, and my position was given back to me with an apology letter and a salary increase.
    Beware of impersonators,
    Dr. Utu can only be reached at:
