Warmonger joins the NDC universe

The latest chap to become part of the these superhero shenanigans is Warmonger, who is joined by 9 heavily armed henchmen. Warmonger is from an alternative Earth and is Warlord of Mississippi, which is in constant conflict with other failed libertarian states in what had once been the USA.  Technology has gone backwards in his world, but a chance visit by a traveller from another dimension allowed Warmonger to seize and begin to use his dimensional portal device to access other dimensions and raid them for weapons and tech.
The warlord with his shock-spear. He has superhuman strength, which enabled him to rise to become leader of the 'People's Resistance', which went on to establish the New State of Mississippi.

All the henchmen together
 At the same time I finally finished poor old Kangor. This is what happens when nutty scientists really get going. UFC champion Kang Li was kidnapped and had his arms grafted on, and brain transplanted into, a kangaroo by renegade scientist Dr Hawke. To be fair, Hawke also grafted wings onto himself, so he was pretty equal opportunity. Kangor was meant to be but the first of a number of hybrids that would aid Hawke in his plans, but upon awakening went slightly mad (as can be imagined). Sometimes his human side takes over, sometimes his marsupial. Sometimes they meet together. He isn't a baddie per se, but he can be a menace.

'I... am... Kan... gor!'
In other painting news, I've put the Chaos Marines away for a while - I'm waiting on some 30mm bases before I finish them off. In their place is a Khador Warjack that will belong to Baron Death, and 12 Anglo-Danish Hearthguard for SAGA. Hopefully I'll have them done fairly quickly. I'm also anticipating a superhero game getting played today.

  1. US Libertarian states failing and at war with each other? Surely that could *only* exist in the realms of fantasy :-D :-D

    1. Obviously it would have to be in another dimension. People are far too rational and reasonable in this reality ;-D

  2. Warmonger and henchmen look fab! I like the red motif a lot.

    1. It binds them well together and off-sets their 'Hawaian shirt -camo' nicely, I think.

  3. It won't surprise you to learn that I love Kangor and am looking forward to hearing more about his exploits. Perhaps he could, eventually, be 'saved' by one of the good guys and become a hero? Who doesn't enjoy a redemption story?

    1. It is highly possible. A bit like Awesome Andy the Android, or Dragon Man perhaps. Or, bringing it bakc to the NDC universe, just like... but wait - no spoilers ;-)
