My Serve

It's time for the Dystopian World Regional Playoff Matches, and hometown favorite, Khayone Dodskott, aims to bring home the gold this year.
As with all matches, the players are required to be armed in case of a sudden raid by outlander barbarians. Khayone preferred weapon is her Sten Gun SMG, it's been in the family for years.
After years of practice and games, the weight and bulk of the Sten don't bother her. As she is fond of saying, "In a firefight, my Sten, gives me more firepower than the pistols most of my competitors carry while playing." Now back to the game...
Khayone is a plastic piece I painted in May.

Kneel Before My Hell Spawn Sword of Pain

"Prepare to pay for your sins by my flaming blade of pain cursed hoplite," cries Lator Doloris (Giver of Suffering). "Here we go again" is the only response Brave Hiktos Nuluk utters before the clash of swords drowns out the nearby waterfall.

Let the Hunt Begin

Be it by Moon light...
or dawns early light, survivalist Mikalla H'dsot is happy to hunt down raiders and the dreaded Bestia Hominum mutants.

Among the Mountain Home Guard, Mikalla is known as the One Shot-One Kill Huntress. A skill that is a vital necessity in her Dystopian World.

Your Head is Mine!

The head of King Froh of Sweden is seen as a just price for him to pay for the pain, suffering and humiliation he heaped upon Lagertha and her family.
In response to the enslavement and murder of most of her family by King Froh, Lagertha det Ukuelige (the Indomitable) became the spirit of vengeance as she used her combat prowess to help lead her people to freedom. 
Her fighting skills gained her the respect of many warriors, none less than the great hero Ragnar Lodbrok, whose heart she captured. She and her ally Ragnar would fight many bloody battles together before they parted ways. She to rule in Norway, he to marry King Herraud's daughter, Thoa Borgarhjort.

Come to Momma Scumbag!

This still photo from security footage Bransburg is of the famous Helga Bransdagr defending her community.
Affectionally referred to as "Mamma Helga" by the townfolk, Helga is a no-nonsense keeper of the security of her home and people.  
While her preferred weapons are her father's Colt .45 1911 and her grandfather's Colt .45 Peacekeeper, she is also adept with12 gauge shotguns and any weapon that fires a .30-06 round (she especially likes her Aunt Hela's M-14). So "Scumbags, Raiders, Criminals" etc., if you want to live, give the town of Bransburg a wide berth.
