Killer B Games Criminals with Shotguns

I have more wonderful 1970's style 28mm scale villains made by Killer B Games to show you. This time, the one thing they all have in common is that all six are armed with Shotguns. I have given them all names to help identify them better.
So, starting at the far left is Marc Jessup, a gang leader, who could be either a Villainous Star or Co-Star in 7TV2e. He is carrying a 12 Gauge Pump-Action Shotgun and is aiming a .38 Revolver. With his sunglasses, porn-star moustache and huge sideburns he could only be a 1970's character. You'll find him on Killer B Games webstore in the "Geezers! Shut It!" range as KB023 Blagger with Shotgun and Pistol.
In the centre of this group is balding Roger Longhurst, who is armed with a Double-Barrelled Sawn-Off Shotgun. He is KB015 Bald Geezer with Sawn-Off Shotgun. Finally, is hippie criminal, Jeremy Campbell. He is definitely not all about "peace and love!" He is armed with a Sawn-Off Pump-Action Shotgun and he is KB019 Funky Geezer on the Killer B Games webstore.
At the far left of my second trio of ne'er-do-wells is "Mad Mike" Turrell, a psychopathic thug, very much in the same mould as Gang Boss, Charlie Slater. On the Killer B Games webstore he has been painted as having white hair and beard. I almost went with that paint scheme myself but in the end I decided to make him a much younger version. Not surprisingly he is known as KB017 Bearded Geezer with Pump-Action Shotgun.
In the centre of this trio is Davey Lowe, who is armed with a Double-Barrelled Sawn-Off Shotgun. He is unshaven and unkempt and a low level criminal. You'll find him on Killer B Games' webstore as KB004 Geezer with Sawn-Off Shotgun.
Last of all, is a figure that some of you may recognise - he is a dead ringer for Jack Carter (played by Michael Caine), the eponymous villain of the 1971 film, Get Carter. Forget the awful remake with Sylvester Stallone! I could have named him Jack Carter but seeing as how the film ended I decided to slightly change his name to Michael Carter, mixing up the character and actor's names. He is, rather unusually, armed with a Pump-Action Shotgun (in the film, Carter used a Double-Barrelled Shotgun. See photo below) and he wears his trademark black trench coat. He is a terrific figure and such an iconic villain. Killer B Games sell him as KB009 Hitman with Shotgun. I'd most likely use him as a Hitman Criminal Extra in 7TV2e.
As always, each of these figures costs a mere £2.00 each. Let's get tooled up!

    1. Cheers, Phil. But surely you meant to say, "Time to watch some old school crime movies me thinks INSTEAD OF a weekend of Shakespeare!"

    1. Thanks, Andy. R.I.P. Lemmy - much loved but never forgotten. I should have painted Marc with black hair and then the likeness would have been perfect. As for mullets, I'm saying nothing!

  4. Wow! What an incredibly colourful badass bunch you've painted Bryan. You can clearly see how much fun you were having painting these chaps. Jeremy Campbell looks like something straight out of a Dirty Harry film with his goat-skin sleeveless jacket and hippy look!! And as you quite rightly highlight, what a cracking Carter lookalike your final mini makes. Terrific stuff all round my friend. Now when is the BatRep coming!?!

    1. Thank you kindly, Simon. I really did have a load of fun painting ALL of my Killer B Games figures - cops, villains and civilians. I agree that Campbell would fit seamlessly into a "Dirty Harry" film. That figure of Carter is undoubtedly a gem. I keep saying this, I know, but the batrep is coming soon. I have more villains and a bunch of civilians to showcase next and then, fingers crossed, the batrep.

  5. Lovely bunch of criminal footsoldiers Bryan!
    Killer B do some cracking stuff and they're cheap as chips. Kind of like HenchmenRUs Dude!
    Look you're a big fella but you're out of shape. Me, I do this for a living! Nuff said.

    1. I know exactly what you mean, Hugh. Yes, a right bunch of hard cases.

  9. Very nice, Bryan. I can imagine these tooled-up hardcases would have no problem dealing with a sudden zombie outbreak!

  10. Seeing these makes me want to watch "The Professionals" that's actually an old TV series I really want to get on DVD. Excellent bit of painting there Bryan, nice style which looks well in keeping with the era.

    Must be good because I was well and truly THERE in the 70`s and can still remember the look and the fashions like it was yesterday. Well done, really nice work.

    1. Thanks, Steve. I have very fond memories of watching "The Professionals" way back then. Did you see my post featuring Bodie and Doyle? Here's a link to it - http://vampifansworldoftheundead.blogspot.co.uk/2016/04/killer-b-games-detectives.html
      I'm well into my 1970's groove with these wonderful figures. There's even more to come with more villains and a look at 1970's civil1ans - fashion police alert!

  11. Oo looks good Bryan.

    Just as an side. What did you think of the old series "Fung Fu" and the sci-fi series "V" ?

    1. Steve, mate, you are picking all of my old favourites. I loved both series. The first five feature length episodes of "V" shown as an alternative to the boring Olympic Games were a real treat. The TV series that followed was less good but I watched it anyway, just to see what mischief Diana got up to.
      "Kung Fu" with David Carradine was an absolute joy. Mix the Wild west with martial arts - what's not to like?
