Brotherhood of Steel T60 power armour

 At Salute 2026 I bought the Brotherhood of Steel Core Box for the Fallout Factions game from Modhious.

It contains parts for eight miniatures, two are T60 power armour, the others lightly armoured (or unarmoured). There are a range of options for each figure - it is worth checking what load out you want for the game before you start building them, though there is a starter list.
The box contains an instruction and faction booklet (also available to down load).
There is at least one part number mistake - 153 is 158 in the T60 instructions.
There are two different sprues, a set of bases (6x30mm and 2x 40mm) and the instruction booklet.



The first figure built and painted is a Brotherhood Knight in T60 power armour.

It is made up a very large number of parts, but it went together okay.

The figure was undercoated with a slightly dodgy coloured Citadel Mechanicum Grey (which does not match past or current acrylics from Citadel).
The base is Humbrol Dark Earth acrylic (mark 2 variety).
The armour was basecoated with Vallejo Black Grey drybrushed with Vallejo London Grey then a lighter drybrush with Army Painter Stone Golem.
the laser rifle was orriginal Citadel Deathworld Forrest then Citadel Snot Womble green with a drybrush of Citadel Nurling Green.
Lenses are Citadel Mephiston Red.
The armour was washed with Citadel Nuln Oil, the rifle with Citadel Athonian Camoshade.

The base was drybrushed with Citadel Tyrant Skull and then washed with Citadel Agrax Earthshade. Once dry it was drybrushed lightly with Citadel Termintus Stone.

New York, London, Paris, Pripyat...

 This has taken a bit of time to get to this stage.

A Debris of War ventilator is placed above the vehicle bay.

Debris of War sofa and a chair provide some comfortable seating for sentries, a crate is convenient as a table.

A Crooked Dice electrical cabinet and air-conditioner adorn the walls.
The walls and roof were sprayed with Plastikote Rust Effect paint. The interior was sprayed with TTCombat Skeleton Bone. The walls were sprayed with Army Painter Fur Brown. The roof was sprayed with Citadel Chaos Black.
Brick detailing was Vallejo Black Grey, Army Painter Fur Brown, Army Painter Chaotic Red, Army Painter Stone Golem and Army Painter Skeleton Bone from a wet palette. 
The walls were drybrushed with Citadel Golfag Brown.

The Woman from the Organisation to Nurture and Consolidate Europe*

 Besuited agent with a FN P90 PDW ready to protect the principle.

Female suited agent with the P90 arms from the Agents set.


* Apologies again to Charles Stross for borrowing his joke (it is better in French and in the novel Halting State).

Vague But Menacing Government Agency

 Another figure from the Wargames Atlantic Agents set.

This is an out of the box figure, reloading his now empty automatic pistol.
Some minor filling is required to smooth in the arm joints.
I have placed the figure in the following two photographs on a second base as the Empress figure has an integral base.

Here you can see the pistol with its slide back, showing it is empty.

Wargames Atlantic: Survivors 2

Wargames Atlantic Civilians and Survivors: Women, the companion set to the Male set.

These can be assembled with or without weapons and are compatible with the female agents in the Agents set.




 

Wargames Atlantic Agents

 The recently released Wargames Atlantic Agents set.


There are four identical sprues in the box.
Each sprue has three men in suits, one woman in a suit, one man in tactical gear and one woman in tactical gear. The female arms are clearly numbered.
There are no female arms with assault rifles, there are two MP5, one MP5K, one shotgun, one FN P90 and two pistols.

As I wanted some heavier firepower than the MP5, I used the assault rifle arms from the Wargames Atlantic female survivors set on the first figure.
Either those trousers are excessively starched of there is a mould line I need to remove.

Size comparison with Empress US figure (painted as a fictional Ayeland marine).
As a comparison, this is misleading. The Empress figure is standing upright and the agent is striding forward.

The Wargames Atlantic Civilians and Survivors set 1 builds 24 male figures. There are sufficient parts for all of them to be running unarmed or armed with an assortment of weapons ranging from swords and bats (Cricket and Rounders) to assault rifles via pistols, revolvers and submachine guns. 


There are four of the main sprues that build mainly unarmed or armed with bats or poles figures.

There are three of the weapon sprues.
