Stalker and Protege

Yosif “Witcher” Sawartski

"Raised by his huntsman father, Yosif had made a name for himself in the metro as being a skilled stalker and professional mutant exterminator. As the major factions within the metro began to arise, he had served as a soldier for Polis and what would later become the Spartan Order. However, due to ideological differences, he soon went his separate way to became an independent. He most commonly operates in the unexplored southern metro tunnels, surveying abandoned stations with the hope of reestablishing new settlements in the future."

 

Nonna Agapova

"With her grandfather having served in the Moscow Fire Brigade and her father having been a rescue worker for the Ministry of Emergency Affairs, it might have been conceived that Nonna would have followed in their footsteps. However; as was the case with many children following the Great War, such childhood dreams would remain just that. Regardless, Nonna still wished to live up to their name; doing whatever she could to support her home station. More often than not this meant working as a "tunnel rat" and salvaging any raw materials from the tunnels that could benefit the main settlements. After being saved by Yosif, the stalker then took Nonna under his wing to train her as a protege."

I'd mentioned these figures back in July, and finally I got my paints (mostly) cooperating again so I was able to finish painting their weapons.

 

These are just two of a small line of of Metro figures I have in the works. Possibly I might make a little series around it, I already have ideas in mind.

 

They're mostly based off the figures from a scene I'd made about two years ago:

The stalker I went for more of a beast-slayer theme to it; having a gladiator/bite-suit arm sleeve, improvised leg guard, fur pelt, heavy machine gun, as well as a few signs of past brawls with mutants. After struggling to come up with a better nickname, I decided that "Witcher" (from the Witcher series) was the best description of what the character's role is.

 

The protege I've been sticking with an emergency worker theme; wearing a general issue EMERCOM beret, a firefighter coat, and an emergency variant of VSR 3-TsV camouflage (how accurate that would actually be to EMERCOM workers I still have yet to figure out). I would've given her a PPM gas mask to go all out, but I can't begin to think of how to make one, so the current is just a place holder. Also debating over giving her a rain poncho or something of the sort.

 

The weapons I'll go into detail in a separate post.
