Meet The From Wasteland Survivors By RN EStudios
December 10, 2015 by brennon
If you're interested in picking up a varied mix of characters for use on the tabletop in your post-apocalyptic games then see what you make of these From Wasteland miniatures by RN EStudios. Which of them would you trust to be your buddy in the barrens?
We'll kick things off with a barbarian queen of the wasteland with Ashley here. She looks like she'd fit into a Fantasy world as much as a post-apocalyptic one with those daggers. I like the punkish hairstyle she's gone for which certainly adds to the look of the model.
Following on from her we have Erika who is wearing a few more clothes than Ashely and looks like she's kitted out for protection and survival. She's generic enough a survivor that you could paint her up in a myriad of different ways to get different effects.
You could probably even work on giving her some additional weapon options tied to her belt or next to her backpack. Jin is back as the next model up embracing the punk with her mohawk and a silenced uzi. I imagine that she actually has a chopper and rides around on that.
Then we get the guys of the Wasteland popping up. Starting with Rocket, who is aptly named, I reckon you'll be blowing things to smithereens. I like that his go to second set of armaments are the grenades at his belt.
Following on from him we have Rok who is entirely defensive. From the looks of him he has taken a fair few steroids to get that buff. I could imagine him actually embracing the mutations caused by the radiation making him into a grizzled enemy to face off against.
Last but not least we have Ryden who looks like he's come from an entirely different world altogether, maybe even a Sci-Fi one. I could imagine that he's the leader of some motley crew made up of the other five and they have been hired to protect him.
All of these models are 32mm in scale and made of resin and would work in all manner of different wasteland games. I have a feeling that you could use them in Punkapocalyptic quite easily!
What do you think of these characters?

I like the guy in riot police gear. And I like the SECOND female figure (Erika). Don’t get me wrong, the first one is very fetching … 🙂 This isn’t a “social justice warrior” kind of thing … but post-apocalypse is hardly a “glamorous sunbathing” environment. With radiation, sandstorms, acid raid, disease, and whatever else is in your post-apocalypse environment … is this really the time for cleavage and midriff?
Again, I love Ashley too. Would probably use a figure like that in a more “moderns” setting rather than “post apocalypse.”
I like the idea of ‘glamourous sunbathing’ after then end of the world. Maybe the nuclear winter countered global warming. Not as weird as you might think…
Oh sure. PLENTY of UV rays for a deep, rich, gorgeous tan … then your skin falls off. 😀
In all seriousness, all this depends on the “type” of apocalypse we’re talking about.
the Carry On Apocalypse?
I like Rocket the most.
I like Ashley’s pose, hourglass figure aside, very dramatic. I do hope that the final sculpts for the rest have a touch more liveliness/dynamism about them.
they look good if a little mad max’y some of them.
