More Character Studies

 Hi!

I've been rummaging around my collection for some more inspiration and have got a second stack of character sketches put together for my Planet 28 campaign.

First up, there's Inquisitor Fisher:

Inquisitor Fisher

I loosely based Inquisitor Fisher on Phryne Fisher of the Miss Fisher Murder Mysteries as I love the character and eventually plan on adding some sci-fi versions of her assorted henchmen and companions ranging from Mr Butler to Burt and Cess as well as Dorothy, Jack and whatever other fun stuff I can but that's a post for another day!


Geralt the Wolfbane

Next up, Geralt the Wolfbane is one of the few figures I have still in my collection from my old Warzone Imperial army and he's often seen in Fisher's company trying to stop the impetuous Inquisitor from getting herself killed.


Vash Hammersworn

Vash Hammersworn is the resident Adeptus Mechanicus of Fishers party and has thus far been an entertaining character to field as his tendency to wander off and get into scrapes has resulted in some great games!

Security Minion

I often need some lowly grunts to add some numbers to my warbands so I felt I really should represent one as a sketch. Game wise, they tend to die rather often, usually in unpleasant fashion, be it gunned down by gangers, chopped to pieces by Orks or infected with alien mutagens but they do their duty none the less!

Next up, I've got some villains in the form of another pair of Giggles clanners:

Azozeus Giggles 

Azozeus is an elderly and utterly mad member of the Giggles clan and at this point is more machine than man but has an incredible knack with machines and repairs, despite having no arms.

Camshaft Giggles

Camshaft is the younger sister of the notorious Grizelda Giggles and is on a bit of a murder quest to find her missing sister, who unbeknownst to her has been abducted by some rogue Mechanicus and is being used as a mind controlled enforcer for some sinister types who have yet to make an appearance.

I'm really enjoying working on these sketches and am planning on eventually creating a bit of a pdf of the assorted heroes, villains and other denizens of Farpoint along with stats so folks can use them in their own games of Planet 28 or as inspiration for whatever games they want and I suspect that I'm going to be adding all sorts of interesting stuff in the coming weeks but in the meantime, All the best!

  1. As someone who's been following your setting for some time now, it's a lot of fun to see the characters I've come to recognize rendered so well, and I'm excited to see what you come up with for Planet 28!

    1. Many thanks for the comments and following my rambling blog!

      I've started compiling lots of ideas into a notebook for mods, bodges and whatnot for Planet 28 and am really looking forward to getting my hands on the second edition of the rules so I can properly delve into the game!

      As things stand, I'm playing a small encounter level of the 1st edition pretty much every evening when I get home from work and its been absolutely brilliant fun!

  2. Lovely work! I remember Vash Hammersworn from the skirmish games you played earlier. I really like the shading on your pictures.

    1. Vash is a fun character to game with as he's awfully easily distracted but an absolute tank when he eventually ambles into combat!

      I've found that Planet 28 has really lent itself to little RPG like skirmishes which has been great fun and I'm slowly working on putting together a guide to the Farpoint sector so other folks can have a bash!

  4. I absolutely love them all... but I think I'm partial to that security minion! Something about the normalness of him really makes your artistic style pop. Great work!

      The security minions in my games always try but end up coming to a sticky end! I need to draw a portrait of the one that is currently lurking in the sewers under Freeport City, the capitol of Farpoint after getting bitten by a spider mutant...
