Where there are bounty hunters there must, by definition, be those who have bounty placed on their heads. Often these are violent outlaws, criminals or psychopaths.
A two-faced mutant gang leader from Paprika in the Spice System, Billy Joe forced Johnny Alpha into a duel with las-whips, the outcome a foregone conclusion as the gang leader was the system's champion for the last 16 years. Alpha faked his death, knowing he could not beat Billy Joe at that time. Billy Joe was enraged when he realised Johnny had tricked him, coming across a circus poster that read, "Johnny Alpha: Greatest Las-Whipper of All Time: 10,000 credits TO ANY MAN WHO CAN BEAT HIM!" It was a challenge he could not turn down without losing his reputation and business. Billy Joe faced a far more dangerous opponent the second time, discovering to his detriment that Johnny had spent the months of his recuperation learning how to wield the las-whip.
One of Johnny's previous partners, Sniffer Martinez was gunned down by Kansyr on the planet Laz in Johnny's early days as an S/D Agent. Kansyr was caught by Alpha and handed to the authorities but was later freed with only a fine, on the grounds that killing a mutie S/D Agent warranted no greater punishment. The alien outlaw went on to commit hideous crimes across the galaxy for the next seven years, until Alpha and his partner, Wulf Sternhammer, took up the warrant for his termination.
Taking part in the ancient, annual death-rite known as The Killing, on the planet Zdwhkkrswrld (more commonly known as Zed!), Johnny and Wulf crossed paths with the android Steelkreeg. Holding the two S/D Agents off in a bell tower using his flamethrower, he eventually met his demise.
These are an eclectic mix of bad guys in this boxed set. The figures are all well sculpted but I would offer a word of warning when attaching Billy Joe's arms to his body. Try to fix them to two points, as I've done with mine (base and las-whip), otherwise they could well snap off at the hands. That seemed to me to be a weak point that could be a problem with constant handling. In addition to the three miniatures, the box also contains 3 Character cards, 2 Armoury cards (Electro-flare and Heat Beam) and 1 Chicanery card (Patient Hunter). This boxed set costs £15.00 from the Warlord Games webstore.
Some classic bad guys that are nicely painted Bryan, not my favourite villains but great additions none the less
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with you, Dave. They aren't my favourite villains either, but they are worth having in my collection.
DeleteVery nice Bryan! Some great looking colors there 🙂
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, Ivor. They were a lot of fun to paint.
DeleteNever heard of any of these three villains but they a great fig's, my fave of the three has to be the big blue haired chap in the middle "Kansyr?", He'd make a great Alien Supervillain for "supers" gaming too.
ReplyDeleteCheers Roger.
Cheers, Roger. Yes, Kansyr, is the one in the middle and although I hadn't thought of him as a supervillain, your idea makes a lot of sense. :-)
DeleteNicely done B, not heard of these guys but hope to see them in a batrep soon ;-)
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, Andy. They all appeared in Johnny's earliest adventures, so unless you've been following his stories from the start or have volume 1 of the graphic novel collection you're unlikely to have heard of them. I'm hoping to post lots more "Strontium Dog" batreps in 2019.
DeleteAnother nice set Bryan, like the guy with the red head, as usual I've never heard of any of them - sorry.;)
ReplyDeletethank you kindly, John. That's another fan of Kansyr. He's my favourite out of the bunch as well. No need to apologise for not having heard of them. See my reply to Andy above.
DeletePS. Yes, I really am replying to you at 01.44am. I just can't get to sleep so decided to spend some time on my computer!
DeleteI know what you mean, last night I was in bed but using the tablet until 2:30, it's a bugger this sleeplessness sometimes.
DeleteCheers mate.
It looks like I'm not the only one suffering from sleepless nights. With me, it comes and goes, but it sure is a bugger when it happens, as you rightly say, John.
DeleteOnce more you bring us a nice tale & nicely painted models Bryan :)
ReplyDeleteIt is my absolute pleasure, Frank.

ReplyDeleteI was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
ReplyDeleteliver 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.
My name is Olisa Blessing, I am so happy. I never believe I will be this happy 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).
ReplyDeleteI 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 condition 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 reached back to my work 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:
