Planetary Police Force 01

In this post I'm showcasing some of my 28mm scale figures that I'm using as Planetary Police Force personnel. These are your basic cops found on most planets that have law enforcement forces. Note that they only have jurisdiction on their planet. Starports are outside of their jurisdiction and they are covered by the Interplanetary Police Agency (IPA) who also patrol the space lanes.
At the far left is Police Corporal Sage Clark. She is a very hard-line cop who never gives anyone the benefit of doubt. She is armed with a Stun Baton and wears a GE33 Stalker Impact Suit, which becomes rigid upon impact. It provides 2 SOAK and 5 SOAK against Blunt attacks. In addition she wears a Blast Shield Helmet. This figure was produced by Citadel Miniatures for when they had the licence for the Paranoia RPG.
In the centre is Lieutenant Lysander Zebulon Mortimer, the leader of this precinct. He is very protective of those under his command and will back them to the hilt. He is also armed with a Stun Baton and wears the same armour as Sage Clark. His figure is one of the Spacelords 3720 Ship's Crew set of six figures, which are sold by Moonraker Miniatures at £10.50 for the set of six.
At the far left is Sergeant Dwayne Dixon. He is deeply distrustful of all politicians. He is armed and armoured the same as Clark and Mortimer. His figure is another one of the Spacelords Ship's Crew mentioned above.
These next four figures are all Constables and all were part of the Citadel Miniatures Paranoia range of figures. At the far left is Volan Litvak, who is suspicious of all non-humans. He is armed with a 10mm Slugger Pistol and wears Riot Armour, which is designed to allow movement while offering maximum protection. It includes padding, blast vest, Kevlar pads on the arms, legs, and knees, and typically, a blast helmet. It provides 7 SOAK.
Next to him is Braden Quinn who is overly fond of junk food. He is the same figure as Litvak but I repositioned his left arm for a very simple conversion. I removed his index finger and re-sculpted it so it was not pointing.
Second from the right is Werner Spanhauer, who is a mild risk taker. He is armed with a 10mm Slugger Rifle and wears Riot Armour. This is also the same figure as Litvak but is more heavily converted than Quinn. I bent his left arm slightly. I remodelled his lower right arm and added his Slugger Rifle.
Finally is young Billy McCluskey, who is full of youthful enthusiasm and is very energetic. He is also armed with a 10mm Slugger Rifle and wears Riot Armour. When I ran my The Ace of Spades Campaign using the GURPS Space rules in the 1990's Billy encountered the crew when they were being hunted by a notorious bounty hunter. The first time that Billy met Kimberley resulted in a most unexpected reaction. He fell head over heels in love with her. He became so lovestruck that he set out to seduce Kimberley. They went out on a date and it went so well that Kimberley hired Billy as a crew member. From starting out as a minor NPC, Billy evolved into a real asset to The Ace of Spades crew. It's funny how things turn out! I could never have predicted that outcome.

  1. A truly wonderful array of miniatures, Bryan, with a fantastic palette to boot - I’m reminded of the space crew from “Doctor Who & The Planet Of Evil”; albeit yours are far better done. You’ve really been treating us to a vast array of minis recently, so my next question is - are we going to see any of these colourful crews in action?

    1. Thank you very kindly, Simon. I really appreciate your comments. As for your question the answer is a very definitive YES. The main purpose of these posts is to showcase figures I have either used in my "The Ace of Spades Campaign" or plan on using.

  2. Great array of figures Bryan, with some current and some long out of production, but fit together well as a cohesive unit

    1. Thanks, Dave. I was pleasantly surprised to see just how close the Lieutenant and Sergeant matched the Corporal. That was a stroke of luck!

  4. Hi Everyone,This was how me and my Boyfriend became VAMPIRES. I got a guy from the internet called Lord who was a VAMPIRE so i told him that me and my boyfriend would love to become a VAMPIRES so he asked me of my Name ,Country, Age ,State , address and in the next 3 days i got the blood sample through the DHL which me and my boyfriend took in the blood into our body and in the next 30 minutes we turned into a VAMPIRE so if you are interested in becoming a VAMPIRE. First: Vampires is not at all like in the movies or books, Sure. I understand. You are young; you have the whole world open to you. You can be anything that you choose if you apply yourself and try hard to work toward that goal. But being a vampire is not what it seems like. It’s a life full of good, and amazing things. We are as human as you are.. It’s not what you are that counts, but how you choose to be. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity? contact the vampires creed today via email: Richvampirekindom@gmail.com
