We are slowly plugging away at the Fury Road army. It's just so much fun to do.
This is my version of the Nux Car. Its made from a Die cast toy. I deconstructed it, sawed it to pieces and reassembled it the way I wanted. The figures I used on it kinda just fell into place.
As you can see here, the model on the back of the vehicle is removable and stays in place with a magnet. He is currently my army's Archon as I am using the DE codex as a base.
Here is a warboy feeling all powerful on his new ride. The spear gun is made from spare parts. I really like converting the weapons. Peter Pound's concept art from Fury Road serve as inspiration more than the actual film. His artwork just has this feel I really want to capture in my work.
Here are some of my warboys. The thunderstick-wielders will be used as Kalabite Trueborn with Blasters. I plan on making a lot more warboys with various weapons to represent the different troops in my army. The next group of infantry on the agenda are the Counts-As Medusae. Warboys with flamers!
Stay tuned.

I have bought a few plastic cars (1/43 Hellier ones) to do some of this with. I don't suppose you have a secret source of suitable wheels as well ?
Looking absolutely fantastic. I cant wait to see more of this project come together
Marvelous. Look forward to more!
So I played Mad Max for the PS4 a few weeks ago and it was just phenomenal. I saw GW's planning to reboot some super old game that comes off like the original Mad Max, but I think I'd still prefer Gorkamorka for a better Fury Road vibe.
Meanwhile, couple of the guys at Victory were trying out This is Not a Test the last time I was there. No vehicle rules, but your minis would still fit perfectly in that post-apoc setting as well.
@Zzzzzz, tires and wheels can be tough. As you can see I have used Ork truk and ork biker wheels on the Nux car. For other wheels, I got my hands on a Imperial Guard Jeep from Forge World. Those wheels are perfect. I got the set and then I cast them and replicated them in multiples so my wheel woes are over! Space Marine bike wheels work great as well, but i have yet to cast any.
Someone out there needs to make a 1/43 post-apoc car conversion set that includes:
Engines and top hats with blowers.
Wheels
Spearguns and other Post-apoc weapons.
hood ornaments.
HUmmmm. Many thanks. I'm gonna have another look at Zinge Industries - they did some worth while bits - time to pay them another visit.
Loving this! Really like the cars man, keep up the good work :)
