Alien invasions — nature gone wild — zombie infestations — man-made catastrophes! It’s the end of the world and there’s plenty of gaming possibilities. Here are three post apocalypse survivors fighting to keep the human race alive.
Before the surprise
alien invasion, he was a major in the national
special forces. He guesses he still is technically, but since the
initial horrific hostilities, he’s been on his own. But just because it
seems that the government and its armed forces have been forced to go
underground and he no longer is part of the chain of command, doesn’t
mean he’s topped fighting. No, indeed, he’s still a
soldier. He has
been busy these last months surviving in the
ruins of this city while
organizing a handful of toughened
civilians into a small, but effective
team of
insurgents. Oh yes, he can still
wage war, just on a smaller
scale.
Sure, her city is in
ruins all around her. The
aliens made a real mess
of the place. But they haven’t succeeded in killing or enslaving all of
the planet’s inhabitants. There are still pockets of
survivors. And some
are even fighting back. At least she is, thanks to running into that
army major. He’s taught her some necessary
survival skills in the last
couple of months. Plus he was real good at finding non-civilian
equipment. She had been as “
civilian” as one could get in the days before the
invasion, but now she’s found a calling and the
aliens will continue to
pay their debt to her.
Man, what a change! He was doing fine, had a mid-level executive job in
the financial system, was moving along with his life plan. Then the
alien ships appeared in the skies and started dumping their
troops onto
his city. So his life plan had to be altered. Maybe the methods had
changed dramatically, but he still was helping to sort out the accounts.
In the last few months, he had helped reduce the
aliens’ “net worth” and the “books” are still open!
These 25-28 mm figures can fit in with many game scenarios ranging from near future science fiction, horror and post apocalyptic survival.
