Here you can post the miniatures or other related stuff you received lately. A good chance to talk about minis one wouldn't necessarily talk about and to see what minis you still have to get hold of.
-
To start with, I bought in the local shop Reaper's "Dark Maiden (http://www.reapermini.com/albums/warlord/14106_G.jpg)", a wonderful mini, I just had to get her, though I'm sure I'll never use her in any game.
The same with Elise the Witch (http://www.reapermini.com/albums/2800s/2869_G.jpg), cute...
Now something for gaming, the undertaker and his "little helper" (http://www.reapermini.com/albums/2800s/2845_G.jpg).
And I got from ebay yesterday some very old Space Marines (the one with the cast-on backpacks - kickin ass!) and a casualty (http://www.witchfindergeneral.de/miniatures/17thCentCasualty.jpg), made from Citadel, a bit too small nowadays but still good for some swashbuckling adventures, I think.
-
Like the idea of thread!
Great casualty, "must have" category :) I have those Reaper mini too, they're nice, especially the Dark Maiden, i would like to make some Undead Pirates scenery with that
my latest minis, Redoubt stuff, surprising big sculpts
(http://www.witchhunter.net/blog/images/06_07_23_redoubt.jpg)
-
today arrived...Lovely Grenadier pulp minis, thanks to Driscoles, he found them by Ebay :) The guy with the falcon is just brilliant!
Some less minis in the USA...some more in Germany...:lol:
(http://forum.backofbeyond.de/images/misc/06_07_25_grenadier.jpg)
-
And this is everything that was in this big box? I somehow can't believe you :wink:
I'm still missing some from Grenadier's CoC and Nightmares lines... but I want them ALL!! :x
I'm currenty waiting for some stuff from ebay to arrive here. mhhh...
-
And this is everything that was in this big box? I somehow can't believe you :wink:
that's all, really :)
-
Being just back from Historicon, I've got the following items currently in my pile of lead to be painted when I need it.
Brigade Games
Russian Ghouls (Their WWII Horror line)
Civilians (from their Mob Wars range)
Pulp Figures
Both of their Hooded Minions packs (to go with my Minions of the Jade Hood when they come out in another month or so).
The Island Hoppers Pack (because I grew up on Tales of the Gold Monkey)
John Jenkins Design
Hopping Vampires
The Jade Mummy
Misc.
Someone gave me two Nazi Dwarves in honor of the release of Amazing War Stories
-
Well, thanks to Rich's airship game at Historicon, my buddy Jerry has taken all my weird war figures off of my hand to paint them up! :mrgreen:
That leaves all my new Dick Garrison figs from Wargaming supply dump for me to work on. Try a little Flash Gordon action.

Someone gave me two Nazi Dwarves in honor of the release of Amazing War Stories
Nazi Dwarves?!? :o Where?

@Prof.Witchheimer
The question is not Where?
The question is why?
-
next bunch, today's harvest :mrgreen: Aliens....and i'm really happy with them
(http://forum.backofbeyond.de/images/misc/06_07_26_Drantakhs.jpg)
-
Hi Prof Witch,

Cheers
Björn

Yup, I just got those Aliens the other day! I ordered them on a Monday and got them on a Wednesday! Hows that for service?
My newest is from Crunch Waffle:

Grimm
-
This old grenadier marsh dragon arrived in the same package. Might work in a Cthulhu game?
(http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g46/Tukmontai/marsh.jpg)
-
@Cyano: That's a really nice figure! Perfect for cthulhu, if you ask me. :)
-
Get that one yesterday
(http://www.displacedminiatures.com/images/img.1154884948803.JPG.600.-1..9.JPG)
:love: :lol: :mrgreen: :lol:
-
A couple of Reaper minis.
Some big ones like the Merchant with Henchmen carrying a chest or the "Altar of Evil".
But also some nice smaller minis like Olivia (http://reapermini.com/albums/album14/3012_G.jpg), the female Musketeer or the male cavalier Edward Dumond (http://www.reapermini.com/albums/2700s/2775_G.jpg), who has to choose between Olivia or Jade (http://www.reapermini.com/albums/2700s/2749_G.jpg), the dancing girl. ;-]
And last but not least D'Kuhl (http://www.reapermini.com/albums/2500s/2568_G.jpg), demasked cthulhuist priest.
And a sealed Ral Partha "Antagonists" boxed set.
-
Oops, forgot to post that I got these:

ooh, I have some of them :)
(http://www.matakishi.com/Bromhead.jpg)
-
yep, seen them already, very nice! actually quite rar the both, costed me lots of money :(
-
Really? I was given mine by a friend that only does 15mm.
The Michael Caine figure is good but the 'historical' one is not at all historical. It would make a good explorer or adventurer though.
-

I need such a friend too :D

Here is the painted version of the latest mini I have recieved....(although today I got two boxes of goodies waiting at home for me!!)
(http://www.coolminiornot.com/pics/pics11/img44d3ceb06ddf8.jpg)
-
LOL! Is that an hawaiian ogre? :lol:
nice paint job btw.
-
my daughter said, that's dad when he getting old :lol:
cool painting job, like the pattern on the "pants" :D
-
Cool Tiki style :o
Like it , from which company ?
-
Its a Crunch Waffle mini. Sculpted by Jason Weibe. Very fun to paint!
My latest two BOXES of minis both came from Jolly old England. I got a bunch of Graven Images, and a bunch of Projekt X stuff.
I had only seen both on the web before, so this is my first 'in hand' experience. Both companies put out great stuff, but I am blown away by some of the Graven Images stuff. The photos just don't do them justice. So cool!
-
a good day, lots of new stuff!
Heroes, more heroes!!! Love the Wolverine one, just great sculpt
(http://www.witchhunter.net/blog/images/06_08_22_superheroes.jpg)
Olley's Aliens. the beginning of the Alien Invasion project (matakishi's responsible... :mrgreen: ), very comic-like aliens, like them
(http://www.witchhunter.net/blog/images/06_08_22_aliens.jpg)
Also Olley, limited piece, I got the number 8, perfectly sculpted
(http://www.witchhunter.net/blog/images/06_08_22_reaper.jpg)
-
Yes...Matakishi is responsible for many of my latest purchases as well!
Those aliens are great, I gotta check those out.
-
If only I was on commission *sigh*..........
-
@aupervike- I believe you've come much closer than the web to some Projekt X minis... :wink:
I'm still waiting for my latest goodies. My last Cell 1999 model, replacement Ogres ,and a huge pile of Arthurian Romans from Gripping Beast. The mailman must think I'm stalking him...
-
Today I received Muller's Walker, a fantastic kit.
Also I got some Foundry limited minis. At least I was told so.
I know the viking chief (on the left) is only available when you buy the big vikings set.
Anybody know's something about the other 2 minis? Especially the nun (on the right), has she got some armed sisters?
(http://www.witchfindergeneral.de/miniatures/foundry-limited3.jpg)
-
yep, they're Foundry limited, the guy in the middle is Heracles, sculpted by Steve Saleh and the girl ist Sister Wendy, Church Militant by Shane Hoyle. Foundry has lots of suitbale sisters like that:
(http://www.wargamesfoundry.com/collections/SV/1/7b.jpg)
-
Those Foundry figs are nice... I wish it was easier to get Foundry figs here :/
Picked up some Old Glory/West Wind Soviet LMGs. I painted two so far, the two on the right (see them here http://www.blackbirdmedia.org/miniatures/?view=armies&which=soviet&pic=17 and here: http://www.blackbirdmedia.org/miniatures/?view=armies&which=soviet&pic=19). There are four more figs in the pack, but those haven't been prepped yet.

I've just received these:
(http://www.matakishi.com/Retrovians%202%20600.jpg)
They are Retrovians from the Wargames Supply Dump
http://www.wargamessupplydump.co.uk/prod01.htm
and include the new poses not shown on their site and the fabulous 'not Mekon' leader figure in his tripod walker.
I also got a load of their Carnivourous Plants too, but they're shown on the site so I won't bother with a picture. Rules to use the Carnivourous plants in my Alien Invasion game are here:
http://www.matakishi.com/invadersfromspace.htm
Rules for the Retrovians will follow shortly :)
-
I was tempted by the Retrovian sniper and am anxious to see the leader put together. I just ordered some of the carnivorous plants for myself.

Westwind Superfigs Aliens
(http://www.witchhunter.net/blog/images/06_09_06_aliens.jpg)
-
Lovely figures, I'll be getting some soon (well, next year at the earliest actually).
I've just received these markers from Gale Force 9 which would be excellent for a superhero game to show super powers effects. I think the clean 'graphic' look of the counters adds to the comic book feel.
28mm BTD Cyberman for scale, he and a load of friends arrived today.
(http://www.matakishi.com/GaleForce9%20markers.jpg)
I'll add them to the excellent fire markers that I already have:
(http://www.matakishi.com/My%20set%20up%20with%20new%20cards.jpg)
They do a large smoke counter too which I have several of but I don't have a handy photo. There's one here if you want to see them, in the first two pictures.
http://www.matakishi.com/tmpgamesday.htm
-
those markers are really cool! want them too :)

The link to the others is broke, try this:

Lovely figures, I'll be getting some soon
In the meantime i think you want to collect all the lead aliens of this world, don't you? :mrgreen:
-
.......maybe :wink:
-
I'm a very HAPPY camper. My Heresy Ghouls arived today. 8 lovely ghouls and a Ghoul King to rule over them!
Expect a fiendishly fun scenario for .45 Adventure in time for Halloween using them.
:mrgreen:
-
I got my last Cell 1999 mini I needed for a complete collection, the Vrenal Walker! And my Arthurian Romans from Gripping Beast, all 84 of 'em :o , arrived the same day!
Looks like my projects for the next 6 months are all set. After that, Pulp Cthulhu and something w/ Thunderbolt Mountain Goblins. Anybody got some? I love them, but have never seen them in the metal.
Enough chat, back to Arthur...
-
I received my Latino gangstars from Obelisk and they are very nice a cleaner casting than the first batch and some good poses with 2 only having a knife and a baseball bat. the Dog is a rearing pitbull with an optional lead which one of the figures can hold.
The other purchase was a pack of their baboons, 6 lovely miniatures
-
Eureka Civilians, just beautiful....

Eureka Civilians, just beautiful....
Hmm, cool. How do they compare to other mini ranges (i.e. Copplestone, Pulp)? Seem to be a little smaller and skinnier (?)....

Apparantly leftovers from a defunct line called Doppleganger. They had a hovering robot too, like the one from the movie 'The Black Hole', but it's a mess and I'm not sure if I am skilled enough to get it together.

Oh right, those are DWW's figures. I'll ask him to send me some :)
Thanks for the heads up!!
-
thanks to a very helpful and kind Nic Robson (of Eureka) I've finally managed to get my hands on the Quartermain figure that graces the top left corner of this forum. Yippee!
-
Today some foundry:
WWII German Officers and Infantry. Looking good but they're too small compared to other non-historical miniatures. :-\
+ Father Mc Sweeney and his cute cousin. Grrrreat stuff!

Yesterday I received my Artizan Thrilling Tales figs. 7 days to ship to the USA. Great figs VERY clean castings requiring very little clean up.

at least it wasnt cheap :mrgreen:

I don't know exactly from what range they are but I want those GW Bobbies too!! :love:
BTW, got a lot of Citadel skeleton warriors today. But they are not mine, I bought them for a friend. He's got a lot of work to do on them.
-
I've had a busy week, lots has arrived. One of my best finds was this:
(http://www.matakishi.com/Purple%20worms%20600.jpg)
AD&D Purple Worms!!
The 28mm BTD Cyberman is there so you can see how big these are :)
I added basetex to the flat black bases they come with but I haven't done anything else to them. You could easily fill the gaps and repaint for a fantastic creature but I'm treating them like game pieces and can't be bothered as I want to get lots. They were about £5.00 each on E-bay including P&P.
-
:o greaaaat!
need them too :love:
metal or plastic?
-
Cheap plastic :)

-
AD&D Purple Worms!!
Oh, Man! Those could come in REAL handy. :o
Time to search Ebay...
-
I got this the other day, along with the other Russian terminator offered by Brigade.
(http://www.brigadegames.com/images/BGGL/BG-ADVH30_sm.jpg)
I originally thought it was a wolfman type fig, but it turned out to be a frankenstein monster instead... Being somewhat dissappointed I realized it would be an eazy conversion. I chopped off the top of the monster's head and sculpted a Soviet winter hat in its place. With the right paint, this frankenstein monster will be a wolfman in no time!

I've just been looking at the Monolith website (http://www.monolithdesigns.co.uk) and their stuff is amazing - but I'm worried about the scale (Scale 1/48 - 36mm-40mm). Are they really, really big? Do they look strange next to other companies models?
-
yep, they're big and often too big to play with the other 28mm apart from monsters maybe
But the terrain resin stuff is 28mm

Happy Birthday, Grimm!
Read the signs. Your wife is giving you a big ape miniature for birthday. She wants to tell you something. :D
Hey, wait a minute... My girlfriend gave me a GW Oger Maneater for brithday last year. I think i have to talk to her... :lol:
-
Happy Birthday Grimm!
Maybe your wife can give mine a call and tell her about that RAFM Cthulhu stuff I want for Christmas!
-
oh! nice one! you lucky devil! I've been lusting after that kong but haven't got the money at the moment.
But here is something I picked up a few weeks ago. My friend wanted to buy direct from crocodile games, so I tagged along the order and bought the 3 modern zombies that Chris FitzPatrick did to add to my shambling collection. Its not on the webstore but if you ask them, they will sell it to you. There aren't many pictures of them online so here is one. I like them a lot!

Now, I know you can never have enough zombies, but how many does that make now?
:)

I have 81 zombies at the moment. Only 64 of them are painted. :D

very nice miniatures, i think, i'll write Chris :wink:

Not Bad. A week to Germany from the US.
Of course now I'm going to ask every week if you've painted them. :D

probably end of october, at first I have to get finished my Africa force. Otherwiese Driscoles will lose his bet :mrgreen:

Today after work I went a bit to the shops, besides some new Model Colour paints I bought this lovely RAFM "Friendly Friar".
(http://www.witchfindergeneral.de/miniatures/rafm-friendlyfriar.jpg)
I tell you a secret.
The reason I wanted to have him is, he isn't as friendly as you'd think at first sight.
Look, here he's standing next to my new "Conan" I also bought.
(http://www.witchfindergeneral.de/miniatures/friendlyfriarVSmanannan.jpg)
Hands down, this monk is going to beat him up with his stick and then EAT him alive!

Today after work I went a bit to the shops, besides some new Model Colour paints I bought this lovely RAFM "Friendly Friar".
Cool monk, but what I really like is the dog! Is it RAFM too?

no :( maybe the other boat, there are two of them

Today: A few old Citadel Chaos Warriors, Beastmen, Barbarians and pre-slotta undead and random stuff... but the very best is some really cool, about 20 years old, Superheroes/villains (where the heroes look like villains and the villains look like heroes - I'll post some photos...).
-
AVALYNE THE LIFE-GIVER, original Ral Partha "Sterling Edition", including the giant, the diorama base with Avalyne... still mint and boxed... and much cheaper than the re-issue!
-
Some time ago the Artizan Thrilling tales minis. Shortly before he put out the second wave. Now I have to order again T_T
-
Sunday at the DUZI (one of the few german mini shows) Croc's Sebeki Regiment, Darkswords Elmore Set 8, some Darksword single including two of the re-released old Partha-Dragons by D. Mize and 7 brand new Musketeers by Mr. Werner Klocke himself. No photographs at the moment, sorry.
Ah, yes, and some Terrain: Ziterdes' ruined monastery, a brick house from Rusus and some plastik plants for selfmade swamps.
-
7 new Musketeers by WK? No photos?! :o
Link?
-
http://www.freebooterminiatures.de/ Only 2 on the site so far, I'll try to post some pics of all 7.

Finally I should get my hands on some Freebooter miniatures...
Today I received a lot of Foundry limited figures, my favourites are the ratcatcher and the scientist, simply wonderful.

not to be contrary to the theme here, but i haven't purchased, been given, stolen or otherwise acquired a mini in ... 15 months, maybe...
budgetary concern have squewed the hobby. i makes me cry to read all the nice shiny bits and such you all got. if i jumped in the basement and ripped open a random storage bin of mini's would that count as a new receipt?
-
Sell or trade 'em, and get new stuff. My own $$ are limited, to say the least, but I keep going!
-
Try sale and lease back, this may count as a new purchase ;)
-

only if you find there things you never expected to own.
I got lots and lots of new Metal Magic (MegaMiniatures...) stuff, too much to post here.
But I wrote a short review, comparing them to the original castings, which you can find in my weblog (http://www.witchfindergeneral.de/blog/). ;-]
-
Just added a bunch of Foundry Pygmys and Swashbucklers to my collection. Went in with a couple of others to take part in the Horde deals.
It worked out nicely with 4 blisters of each filled to the brim with new miniatures.
-
102 HeroClix Minis. Of course I won't use/repaint all of them, but they were free... :mrgreen:

I almost bought that URSA suit about 12 times, but talked myself out of it. Hope to see it painted soon!
-
Some Old Crow vehicles :D really great ones!
(http://www.witchhunter.net/blog/images/06_11_02_old_crow_vehicles.jpg)
-
So we can expect you to be finished with the Old Crow models by Saturday, with a website for your Future Wars armies by what, Tuesday of next week? :D
-
not really :mrgreen: i'm gathering the stuff at the moment, i need still some pieces...
-
Just received 3 russian houses that I'm going to paint for a LotR Battle Companies session next weekend (they are a close enough fit for Rohan or maybe Dunland).
In addition i got 6 different middle east houses - including the arab tomb - which will appear in the deserts of Harad and a Pulp campaign I'm panning and slowly collecting goods for....
After christmas I'll try getting a website up and running. Want to show off some of my stuff, too ;-)
-
Hey argonor from which company ?
and can you post a picture ?
-
Today arrived, fresh from Birmingham/UK - the Copplestone Castings Polar Deal (octobres special offer).
The polar bear must be a mutant, it's really big. In comparison, the walrus is a dwarf (though I think it's in scale).
-
@The Prof: Can you post some pictures of minis (Copplestone perhaps ;) ) next to the Old Crow vehicles? I'm thinking of ordering zome, but I want to know the scale first.
Cheers
Jase
-
They're from Hovels.
A bit on the small side, even for 25mm imho.
I do not think I can post pictures unless I have them on a website already? Or am I wrong?

Pete, it's easy, just say over and over again "God wants it. I want it. I am free to do whatever I believe is good. Minis are good. Old Crow vehicles are good. I'm a good man. I'll do it. I'll buy some of them because it is good. Nothing is wrong. I'm happy. Very happy."
I'd say at first 10-20 times daily, that would be enough to give you a good feeling :D
-
But Fall-In is next week! Won't God be happier if I buy lots of miniatures at a con? I'll get all of my happiness taken care of in two days! I'll be overloaded with happiness, and there won't be international postage involved! Or Pounds Sterling!
But God wants me to buy these now, or he wouldn't have let Dallimore make those pdfs with the beautiful pictures. I'm so torn. It's like I'm living in a Wim Wenders movie.
-
miniatures at a con...not really innovative, dear Pete...something like this won't make God happier, no, he won't be angry, that will be the outcome. To make God happier you have to satisfy his wish. And God wants vehicles. Now. Not next week or after Fall-In. Now. Just do it. That's not wrong.
-
I wish I never asked, my wallet will bear the brunt and I feel sorry for your wallet as well Pete :mrgreen:
-
Just got the Gloire Launch Offer from BlackHat/Gladiator - all 12 packs of their cute musketeers range + Gloire for £30.
And I purchaserd their 'Brawling Super Hero Tonka' as well - to be a bodyguard for some sinister pulp villain - but that's another cup of tea ;-)
As mentioned earlier - I'll try to get a website up and running soon after christmas - and I'll strive to get as many pics of purchases, projects and finished results as well as pics/battle reports of different miniatures games I'm playing online then - so I shall be able to post some of them in these pages.

Eureka
(http://forum.backofbeyond.de/images/misc/06_11_05_eureka_gun.jpg)
-
Bought at Crisis/Antwerp:
Woodland Indians, AWI Militia & Highlanders (LotOW) and some Crusader armored Infantry from Perry (WAB Ottonians), Longhorns (LotOW and 2 small Raptors (Pulp) from Amazon miniatures and three building from Stronghold (the german company, not the british). And .45 & gloire.
-
I realised I didn't bring enough money to Crisis. I bought a WWII British Commando Squad from Bolt Action Miniatures and a lot of Jungle Troopers from Copplestone's Future Wars (including the zombies!!). But there was so much more cool stuff!!!
-
Yup, I did spend too much money, too... but I don´t repent! A short list of my purchases:
Bolt Action Miniatures: German Command, Pioneers, a Nebelwerfer, Machine Guns and a Mortar, Tank Commanders...
Chieftain Models: Lancia 3RO, two Vickers MkVI light tanks.
Bandai: 1:48th scale SdKfz7 and StuG Ausf. F (such a stroke of luck! I love the models!) :love: :love: :love:
Add to that the free "Leopold" miniature and a sample pack of Anglian Miniatures´ international brigades, and you´ve got a very happy puppy... erm, Christian. :D
-
I just received 3 of the huge Green Martians and a 4-armed ape from Bronze Age. David even dropped in a free warrior woman into my order!

Hello,
My latest Minis are the Amazon Deal from Obelisk Miniatures plus the Bamboons. My Bamboons are owned by Grimm now. I missed them so much I needed new ones.
Björn
P.S. Alex I have the Sherpas and the Explorer too.
Will paint them for an Arctica game soon.

Looks superb! Is this another of those "Toys´r´us" trains? That would be great for a wide-gauge railroad, indeed.
-
Very nice! I will get mine from Driscoles when we meet in January!
-
It is the Toyss R Us Train and they still have some left. Not particular this one, but a Western and a Continental Train....
-
I have just recieved today, the start of my new Perry Miniatures Samurai army. 52 minis in total. They look great, I am impressed.
TT.
-
@Driscoles - They have a Continental train?? Can you get one for me next time you go to Toys R Us? No need to make a special trip. Only when it is convenient!
Thank you!! I bring you a bottle of Tiger Beer to try next time!!
-
Hi Dom,
I`ll try to get you one. Maybe today if we can get there on time. Maybe tomorrow.... Darn thing is I life close to this shop.
Besides...We have a shop here who sells Tiger Beer.

There's a review of these and some information on who they are here:
http://www.matakishi.com/reviews.htm
-
And a few figures on my to buy list :? God wants it :D
-
those are beautiful figures pitty they are so big. I must say your painting has improved tremendously over the last year. Impressive!
-
how big they are ? not 28mm ?
-
I don't think they're that big really.
(http://www.matakishi.com/Zombie%20things%20together%20pic%20600.jpg)
I'm happy to use them with most things.
It's nice of you to say my painting's improved :) it hasn't really, I just spent more time on these. If I'm painting armies I spend a lot less time and do less colours etc. My Thugz which I painted a year and a half ago are much better than these in the flesh.
-
Hi,
the guy on the last picture on the far right. Isnt that John Rambo ?
Where can I get this figure. I want it too please !!!!
Björn
-
Yes it's John J.
He's available from The Assault Group if you buy one of their Vietnam deals but I'm sure if you asked they'd sell one separately.
Next to him is Tin tin from Mark Copplestone before anyone asks :)
-
Really good paintjob! How did you do the blue jeans? They look very natural and real.
-
Matakishi could I be rude and if you have a Jim Bowen 40mm figure compare them to those I have the figures and they are nice but would say they fit in with larger scale and wondered how they compared
-
beautiful, Matakishi!!! Thanks for pics and the review, I'll definitely get them.
But why square bases for civilians???
-
The jeans are Foundry blue.
I don't have a 40mm figure, sorry.
They don't fit on 25mm round bases.
-
yah, I'm normally quite flexible when it comes to scale for a skirmish game like moderns. The problem with these is more that they don't fit on the circle base than they are slightly too big. :?
But they are lovely figures. When I can, I certainly wouldn't mind getting a set just to paint up for fun.
-
Thanks Matakishi for John J Info...
I know the Tin Tin Mini. I have it too :o)

I'm back from Fall-In. Since it is Sunday, let us have reading from the Book of Retail, Chapter 23, Verses 6-15.
"And the Lord said unto Pete: Go forth, and buy such things as I shall reveal to you. And Pete said: Yea verily.
"So the Lord bringeth Pete unto a land flowing with lead and resin, bountiful in all things that please the senses, and the name of this land was the Dealer's Hall. And Pete did rejoice to be in the Dealer's Hall with loud squealing and little claps of joy, so did the people around him say: Hush, you.
"So Pete purchased many things and left others, and God said unto Pete: Why do you leave miniatures unpurchased? And Pete said: I have run out of money. And God said: That is not my problem. And Pete was sad because God wanted him to have many things beyond what his wallet would allow."
Pics later.
-
Hallelulja !!!
Pete....
Be Blessed
Hallelulja......
-
So Pete returneth to the peoples. And the peoples say unto Pete 'Verily, we say unto you, Tell us more of the promised land. Tell us of the mountains of lead and the rivers of resin. Tell us, the poor and the downtrodden and the too fareth away and the loweth on monies. Tell us in song and in interpretal dance of the glories of the harvest as you merrily plucked the shapen lead from the fingers of the dealers. Tell us more. Tell us'

AHHHHHH I see Dinos are popular at the momen ,could that be my work :mrgreen:
Nice one Witchheimer :love:
-
Oi vey! What is it, a Deinocheirus or an overscale Raptor?
What were called "Raptors" in Jurassic Park were actually Deinonychus (Deinonychii?). Velociraptor was actually about the size of a dog, much smaller than seen in the movie.
Now, there were really big Dromeosaurids, and one was found in the 90s that would have been almost 5 meters long. Achillobator may not even be the largest of "raptor", though you start to get into issues about metabolism and growth rate and possible life expectency and these sorts of things are mostly conjecture.
Your model is cool. I would say it's a very large Achillobator, but it lacks feathers and the tail and posture aren't quite right. It'll be okay for pulp purposes. It's a nice looking model.
Oh look, I'm ranting about dinosaurs again. :roll: Can't take me anywhere, can you.
edit: I think that dino is by Papo, the French company. They make 120mm Musketeers, too!
-
AHHHHHH I see Dinos are popular at the momen ,could that be my work :mrgreen:

Pete, thanks! yes, looks like an Achillobator And you're right, it is from Papo!

What were called "Raptors" in Jurassic Park were actually Deinonychus (Deinonychii?). Velociraptor was actually about the size of a dog, much smaller than seen in the movie.
Ahh, the lofty days of J-Park... I always had the impression that they mixed the Raptor´s skull with the size of a Deinonychus, and the Prof´s saurus´ longish skull looks rather Velociraptor to me, rather than the more rounded appearance of the D´nychus.
Those arms looked just long enough to belong to a ´cheirus, though... in that scale. That´s why I wrote overscale Raptor. Should have added "on steroids" to make it more clear.
Mind you, I still recall books (of certain scientific value!) that approximated the maximum length of a full-grown ´raptor at some 5 to 6 metres... goes to show scientific progress. Oh, what a great childhood spent as an avid hobby paleontologist (ie, reading any book I could get my hands on). :lol:
I always had a thing for the big bad bastards, hence my choice of Rex for Schwangi, Lord of the Land that Time forgot.

Nobody likes troubles.

You should light a candle to:
- St. Benedict Biscop, patron saint of painters (he was German)
- St. Bertrand of Feltre, patron saint of bankers (for the money), or St. Martin of Tours, patron saint of beggers (just in case)
- Saint Michael the Archangel, against discouragement.
Then you should begin a Novena, buying Gloire and reading it for nine days. Thus will your actions be pleasing to God. Amen.

The first one I don't know, the second two are the two versions of Lt. Bromhead of Rorkes Drift fame, the one is the film version (Michael Caine) the other the historical one, both were sculpted by Mark Copplestone and were given away free to subscribers of "Wargames Illustrated". The last two I think are giveaways from entry to Partizan, I may be wrong on this though.
-
the first and last one belong together. "Come back you scum" Foundry Limited Set. They're from Kev Adams
The scientist is also Foundry limited and sculpted bey Kev Adams too. My painted version:

Welcome aboard, Michael!

The 1. and the 5. are a Foundry limited set called "Come back you scamp!". They came in a blister together with "the alchemist" (4. figure) all sculpted by Kevin Adams. But I don't know on which occasion you could get them.

So I left the PC for a cup of coffee... and forgot about it. When I remembered an hour later or so and saw for what "nice" amout it was gone I was realy pissed for the rest of the day. :x

Funny that they are taking so long. Normally Perry is very fast. There was even praise on TMP that an order from the US was received in less than a week. (order placed on Nov 8, received on Nov 13)
-
They're probably in hospital, having lost some vital organ or limb due to prematurely exploding black powder... or something...
-
Either that, or they are visiting Peter Jackson in New Zealand, playing real life LOTR!!

That is rather poor taste, sir. :x
Anyway! My order of Anglian Miniatures "Spanish Civil War" arrived today! Hurray! All in best order, and guess what? Apparently, I had sent too much for postage, and so Mr. Higgins added two sprues of heads and a Banner bearer for the Brigadistas! Superb service, especially considering the hubbub at payment! I´ll add some pictures once the figures are based, before I go to primer them.
Here´s a picture of the stuff based and ready to receive a basecoat.

not really a good joke

May I play? This is a fun game.
Now that "Mighty Joe Kong" is over and done with I'm back to the Great War in Africa. Our series of battles on the fictional Lake Wittelsbach is set to continue. A new iniative is about to begin by the Entente powers to wrest control of the lake from the Germans.
(The first two encounters in this campaign can be seen on my blogs.)
First of all, a Royal Flying Corps aeroplane has been sent to help with recce duties and to hopefully drop bombs on the German ships:
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y40/Plynkes/WIP/dh2.jpg)
A lovely-looking plane (I love Pusher-Props, they're so "Stop the Pigeon.")
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y40/Plynkes/WIP/dh2a.jpg)
None of these fancy telescopic multi-angled bases for me. I'm strictly an old-school coat-hanger and jam-jar lid sort of chap!
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y40/Plynkes/WIP/dh2b.jpg)
Haven't got very far yet. But it's a start.
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y40/Plynkes/WIP/dh2c.jpg)
Some pointless inner nacelle detail that nobody will ever notice when we're playing a game.
I think I shall give the British player the option to drop arrows or flechettes in lieu of bombs, for a nasty anti-personnel effect. I'm not sure how historical it is, but I remember it being very striking in the comic-strip "Charley's War" that I used to read when I was a child. It's certainly very "Pulp Adventure."
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y40/Plynkes/WIP/charley.jpg)
Got to go back to work now, but later I'll post what those Belgians are planning to do to help defeat German ambitions on the lake.
-
Plynkes!!
are those Charley`s War Comics still available in England ?
If so ? Do you know where ?
Like your plane !

They have been republishing them as hardbound graphic novels over the last couple of years, Driscoles.
So far they have published three volumes, a new one comes out each October, so we have quite a wait for number 4.
You can get them from Amazon.co.uk
http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_ss_w_h_/026-5519581-8844429?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=charley%27s+war&Go.x=0&Go.y=0&Go=Go
Other places too, I imagine. They have them in my local Waterstones (bookshop).

55 Minis Prof?
Looks like 11 blister, so you were cought nicely in Bob's "bargain trap" (2 free blister and free shipping) :lol:
...think I will do the same when there is again some money left :P
-
@Bjoern - I think you can get reprints from Amazon.co.uk
-
Especially in the first half of the war, flechettes were very common, since a lot could be carried at less weight than the bombs then available. I don´t know if DH2s used those (lovely model, btw, I´ve got a nieuport by Smêr and have my eyes on their Fiat CR32 for the Nationalists), but I´ve seen pics of DH2s carrying bombs, so flechette canisters would be sensible as well.
If you´re interested, I´ve got some nice pictures of flechettes I could scan if you wish to be more precise than needlepoint ones... those Time-Life Aviation Books rule.
-
To be honest I wasn't sure whether DH2s were ever used to drop bombs or anything, but as my campaign is quite "Pulp" and non-historical I wasn't too worried about it.
The DH2 is just representing some other plane (I believe seaplanes were used in the real fight for the Tanganyikasee). I picked it because it looks primitive, the sort of thing that might end up in a backwater theatre in Africa.
But of course, in real life in 1916 it was the ultimate in Entente flying technology, the answer to the dreaded Fokker Scourge.
-
Anyhow, on to the Belgian part of the project. They've finally got their act together and assembled their own steamer to face the German ships.
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y40/Plynkes/WIP/steamer.jpg)
Got this girl from TMTerrain in the UK. Haven't settled on a name yet, but as all the ships are named after women in my campaign I shall have a bit of a mooch around the net later for the names of some Belgian princesses or queens.
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y40/Plynkes/WIP/gun.jpg)
She'll be armed with this 6 pdr, so will pack the same punch as her foe the Königin Luise. Though she doesn't look as fast as her, or as solidly built.
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y40/Plynkes/WIP/crew.jpg)
Her crew will be recruited from these chaps, Old Glory French sailors. As it is something of a Pulpish affair, I've decided to base their uniforms not on any real Belgian naval uniform (besides, I have no clue what one looks like) but on the sailor suits worn by these chaps:
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y40/Plynkes/WIP/tt2.jpg)
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y40/Plynkes/WIP/tt.jpg)
Belgium's second-most famous detectives (after Hercules Poirot) , Dupont et Dupond from the Tintin books. Also on hand will be some Force Publique boys to make up the numbers as makeshift marines.
Finally we just add a Belgian Naval Ensign downloaded from the net:
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y40/Plynkes/WIP/Belgianflag.jpg)
And we're ready to go!

Coming soon: THE KAISER'S ELEPHANTS!

Here we see Flynn O'Flynn, and his nemesis, the legendary, some say mythical, giant elephant "Plough-the-Earth."
-
From a dedicated elephant-lover: beautiful! Could also work for some time-travel to the pliocenic (or whatever those 4,5metre tall elephants called their home era... err... you know what I mean).
-
@Plynkes - lovely stuff!! :D
-
:o A nice, big box tied with "Foundry Miniatures" tape just arrived 2 minutes ago!!
My Sudan troops finally have artillery support!! :D
Pics later!
-
Thanks Plynkes !
I will order at Amazon !
-
By the way, Chris, I forgot to respond: Yes, I very much would like to see the scans of those flechettes, if it's not too much bother.
Thank you.
-
Sure! Please drop me Personal Message with your email adress, so I can send you the pics - I´d rather not upload them, but I guess a copy for a buddy (if I may be so bold) should be fair deal.
-
Well, cracking a joke about black powder and the Perrys may seem a little harsh in writing, I admit. Sorry.
Anyway, I just received today from Pulp Figures Evil Hooded Minions I and II, Sinister Spies, Dangerous Dames, Brit's Tropical Cmd and the scientists (PHP6 - don't recall the exact name.).
And I could swear, I have that elephant of Plynke's somewhere among my old stuff at my father's house! I remember that the tusks were missing.
-
The elephant was made by the toy firm Brittains.
I bought it from a fellow TMPer. I think it was Stronty Girl, but I have a really terrible memory, so it might have been someone else.
It's been sitting around the place for ages, but I decided to get it out the other day and paint it. Haven't started on the actual painting yet, just filled in some gaps where the ears join the head.
-
Exactly, the ears! I wonder how I managed not to get them lost, too. I may have been 6 or 7 (or even younger) when I got it. I may have to visit the old guy and try to dig it out from under my bed - or whereever it is...
-
@ plynkes
here are the names of the royal wifes you were looking for:
* Louise-Marie d'Orléans (wife of King Leopold I)
* Queen Marie Henriette (wife of King Leopold II)
* Elisabeth von Wittelsbach (wife of Albert I)
* Astrid of Sweden (wife of King Leopold III)
* Mary Lilian Baels, Princess de Réthy (second wife of King Leopold III)
* Fabiola de Mora y Aragón (wife of King Baudouin I)
* Princess Paola Ruffo di Calabria (wife of King Albert II)
* Princess Joséphine-Charlotte of Belgium (Grand Duchess of Luxembourg, sister of Kings Baudouin and Albert II)
-
Great! Thanks, Johan!
I hadn't got around to looking up them yet. That's a big help! Just have to choose one of them for our boat.
Perhaps Elisabeth von Wittelsbach would suit best, as she will be fighting on Lake Wittelsbach. The "German-ness" of her name is a little unfortunate, given the circumstances, but what the heck. The British Royal family were so worried about their German-ness in the Great War that they changed their name!
And the wife of the most heroic Belgian apart from Tintin.

The P-26 is the most beautiful fighter of the interwar period. Aside from looking like The Future (circa 1920) they were painted in the neatest colors.
Chris, now you have an excuse to buy the Copplestone pilots!

Cool aircraft!! That thing's on my wishlist!

Curses, foiled again! :D I wanted to convert one of my Tamiya Germans from the Protze kit, give him one of Anglian´s head (with glasses, read goggles) and sculpt a pilot helmet on...
I´m SO looking forward to painting it - the paint scheme will be natural steel all over, with red wingtips and the rudder painted with the republican flag...
And the kit got a choice of two bomb racks! I think I´ll add the one with the multiple small bomblets.
-
Oh, A P-26... My grandfather fought in the Civil War and when I was a child I was gluing and painting a P-26 kit from Matchbox, (maybe... it's been a long time) He recognised the plane... He told me they called them "moscas" (flies). Years later I read in some book I forgot that "Mosca" was the nickname for these planes... :)
-
Listening to my grandfathers "weird war tales" was always exciting for me, too. :wink:
-
I´ve read that "Mosca" was the nickname for the russian-built Polikarpovs, but I guess it might have been used for all small planes, as well...

Grimm, those dinos, are they from Schleich?

Today, for a future not-desert pulp project, I purchased two wooden models:
A model of a fishing boat (will be run by some of Brigade's merchant sailors as a smuggling operation), and a sailing boat for Bing and Bob to wreck on some remote island.
They both will have to be sawed off at the waterline, but at only Dkr. 129,- (£10) a piece, I just could not resist the offer :wink:
-
They are. The Allosaur is my favourite, the Triceratops is the one of the few that I don't like that much - to small and funny colour sheme. The Saltasaur is in fact in a larger Scale (1/40) than the rest, that's because Schleich has two ranges - the smaller with differences in Scale (e.g. the Tri, but also with the sauropodes which are in the same size as the Saltasaur shown and the Deynonychus which is to big and clumsy) and the 1/40. The Sauropodes in 1/40 are marvelous, but the rest is to big IMHO. I've got most of the smaller ones and only the Saltasaur from the 1/40 range.
-
Hey argonor what is abaut Pictures of the fishing boat ?
-
I will put it up, as soon as I get my own site up and running. It's my next non-gaming (well, not really, as I'm gonna use it to flash gaming projects ;-) ) hobby project for the christmas holidays/beginning of the winter.
The boat is not perfect, though - I'll have to remove some details on the deck to get space for the miniature-bases. I think that it may also serve as a 'master' for scratch-built fishing boats slightly broader to easier accomodate minis.
If anyone is interested, I could take a few shots and mail them?

I think I succeded now. On the front deck, near the stern, you can see a not-finished (I'm not German) CiC Hampton mini for size comparizion.

My, it´s huge! Can´t wait to see it painted and weathered!

Well, you may have to wait quite a while - my first pulp project is aiming at the egyptian desert (and coming quite slowly forward, as I tend to use more time painting new minis for my LotR Battle Companies, each time I have played a BC-game).
But, as mentioned, at Dkr 129 I simply could not resist it :mrgreen:

Thought it worth investing (about £10) in :mrgreen:
I even think it's about 1:50 in scale (if it's in scale at all).
I also bought a slender sailing boat/yacht, I'll make an attempt on getting a pic of it online this evening....

Awesome sailing trawler! A very wise investment indeed!

It looks similar to those souvenir ships you can get in "Andenkenläden", although I´ve never seen one of this size (I own a little fisher fleet of those, myself, but those I have are max. 15/20mm...).

I haven't quite figured out, yet, where all the rigging goes (it was quite a mess, the mast was unattached, and all the strings and little hooks were.. well, I think you can envisage it for yourselves...)

As you can see, it needs some tidying up around the door (somebody has been a little over-enthusiastic with an airbrush), and on the sarcophagus some shattered bones and other goodies has to be painted.
The entire model needs to be highlighted, and at about £20 (Dkr 250), I think the paintjob could be a bit better. The sculpt is nicely done, though, and once done, it will provide a nice piece to put in some wooded area - maybe even an objective of some sort (after all, it is a king's tomb).
On a scale of 1-10, I'd only give it a 7 - mainly because of the price/paintjob ratio.
-
Why can't they sell them cheaper but unpainted?
All the details have to be painted again and that bit of grey drybrushing isn't worth a straw.
-
Can't figure that out, either... Would be much more appealing to buy a whole bunch at a time instead a meager one or two pieces...

Ditto. The only Ziterdes stuff that´s about worth the money are the old river sections, and even those require repainting...

I somehow second that... it's just, that I haven't got the time (or probably skill) to make my own scenery... so I have to buy pieces that somehow fit into my preferred gaming themes (which are rapidly expanding into almost every corner of the hobby, thanks(?) to you guys.. :lol: )

come on...
You cut the base and the walls out of a piece of foam and glue them together, then add a bit of cardboard for the floor tiles and finish it with sand, grass and a little paint.
The doors and the sarcophagus are available as resin or pewter castings from different companies.
Build your own scenery! God wants it!

Don´t get me wrong, though. I really like the Ziterdes models for sculpting and manufacturing quality, just that the fact that they are pre-painted doesn´t really add to the level of quality - so it remains to be seen if it´s worth the money... I´ve painted a number of the houses as commissions, and I´m rather happy with the result, and the trenches are also very cool, if a bit smallish for GW (for which we used them back in ye olden dayes).

I know, but I'm really struggling just to get some of my minis painted. With a full-time job, nearly an hour pendling time, and two little girls of 3½ ys and 9 ms it's just about I can get a couple of hours for myself in the lab a day... the mrs. wants to see me sometimes, too, ya know...
Btw. I'm just now busy scanning in floorplans from AHQ. There's a ....load of the stuff.
Tomorrow I'll go to the local Lidl to see if the Caravel model they have is in scale... aaaarrrrrrr.... Gloire! Pirates!

A cute little 1:56th ChrisCraft Marlin-fishing boat, recently re-released by Revell - the molds appear to be original 1960s´ vintage ;) but it is perfectly suitable for gaming and will be made up for some post-apocalyptic games set in flooded New York City.

@Grimm: Unfortunately, the boat is molded in glossy white plastic, and you don´t recognize ANYTHING on the pic of the sprues, even with gamma, contrast and levels maxed out either way... I´ll have to assemble and flat-prime it first.
I can tell you, however, the following: The boat consists of two hull halves, various parts for the decks, and fittings (plus two crew). I´ll have to remove the underwater hull. The plastic is rather thick, but should be cuttable.
@Argonor: That Caravel is rather nice!

Then, from 1851, a scooner, named America, that won a race 'round the Isle of Wight and gave name to 'America's Cup'
(http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/3335/america01fu0.jpg)
(http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/8047/america02vu0.jpg)
It could be used as a smuggler - or even a slaver? Hard to catch, anyway. Could also be used as the sight-seeing ship run by some backwater, rum-infested crew, that our hero detectives/reporters have to commandeer in order to get to the Island of the Temple of the Cursed Jade Buddha before the hoods of the nefarious Dr. Koo.... (I just made that up, but you'll never know...)
Scale is 1:48, if the box can be trusted, that is....
You know the price...
-
And last, but not least, another winner of America's Cup, the Defender (1895). It's called a 'Competition Yacht'.

Same place, same price :mrgreen:

I think a fat guy in a white suit with an umbrella is going to own this one. He might be a millionaire collecting rare artefacts, using all nescessary means to get what he wants.. (hey, sounds like a miniature gamer - apart from the 'millionaire'-thing :lol: ).
I have to get that piece of rigging sorted out...
-
@ WC (it's not my fault, that's YOUR initials):
Do you have a product key for that very fine piece of naval equipment? I might have to quote it at my local model pusher's, as Revell isn't always easy to come by in DK
-
@ Grimm: Maybe I can get you one in exchange for some terrain? (If it's the Santa Maria that made you go AAARRRR?)
-
The Santa Maria is BEAUTIFUL! :love:
-
Awww, why is our local Lidl selling only crap?!?!
-
Hi,
I saw them in our Lidl too and had them in my hands. i wasnt sure to buy me one. Here the price for one was 19 Euros.
But they look good on the pics.... Maybe I should have bought the Santa Maria ....

Duh, must be the cold sticking up my brain... took me some time to realize you meant me! Just call me Whiskey Charlie, if Westfalia Chris is too long... ;)
Well, the Box says "Sport Fishing Boat", "The Coastal Series", and gives a Box Code "H-387:100"; their website lists it as "H-387 Sport Fishing Boat":

I'll break up the files in smaller po(r)tions and try again.

American Adventurers:

(Pics from the Copplestone website as I'm at work and don't have a camera here!)
Still no sign of Captain Withnail, Rashid, Osman and Yusuf from Artizan though! - I ordered them before Christmas!! :?

Those Copplestones are nice, and the new Artizans are also great!
After 2 months of Sudan, I am looking forward to a change of scenery painting Pulp figures! :lol:

Well, swung by a Party City here in the US (it's one of those stores where you can get the plates, cups, decorations for any kind of party) to pick up some invitations for my wife. While there I took a few minutes to browse the ailes and stumbled upon a 2-pack of plastic dinosaurs for just $1. They seem to be scaled just right for 28mm (I'm not up on my dinosaur sizes but they look about right).
So 2 dollars gets me a Tyrano, triceratops, a funny looking thing with a fan on its back and something akin to an ankylosaurus.
Sweet!

:lol:
I wrote a whole post on how the thing with a fan on its back was a Dimetrodon, which isn't really a dinosaur, but a basal synapsid, and why you should care about the difference between the two.
And then I erased it. You have no idea how much willpower it took not to hit "submit."

Finally I got
- Brigade Games Uboat + Crew + Evil Sinister Man
- HLBS Deep Sea Divers
I'm not happy with the sub, it's so fucking small, it could easily be 1/72 :x
You obviously don't subscribe to "The Major General" school of thought of keeping ship models small relative to the size of the figures. Are you looking for a submarine that will occupy most of the table? ...or just one with more room for crew on the deck? The discussions on the Brigade Games Yahoo Group suggest that BG will be producing some larger submarines in the future, maybe in modules that can be put together to make larger or smaller subs.
How are the HLBS Deep Sea Divers? I ask because I'm waiting on Sheltrum divers and I'm thinking I should look at the HLBS ones to add to the mix.
-
Lucky me! Got the following Citadel Judge Dredd Figures MIB:
Judges Dredd and Anderson (Double-Packs, Bike-mounted and on foot)
Judges Giant, Patton and Reed
ALien Mercernaries
Perps
and finally "Don Uggie Apelino and the Ape Gang".
I´m rather baffled by the last ones, but what jolly fine miniatures. Hope to paint the judges tonight.

For 40 bucks, the sub should be at least big enough to place some of their excellent figures on it. Sadly that's not the case.
The deep sea divers from HLBS are very cool. I showed them around this weekend to Grimm and Prof Witchheimer and they share my opinion. Highly recommended :)

You opened an original 80's Citadel blister pack?! :o :o
Aaaaaarrrrrgh!!!!
This is beaking the heart of every collector! :cry:
-
F**k the collectors... what good are unpainted minis? ;)
Now, to turn the knife inside the wound: I even cut off the tabs to attach them to washer bases... SHOCK(TM)! HORROR(TM)!
Now, what is good for Mr. Dallimore is good for me.
-
Right you are Chris, I've opened so called collector's items with heaps, usually paid loads of money for them, but always used them to paint up and game with them. What else is the point?
-
I also consider it a win-win deal, even though I *think* I got the better of it - we swapped for an "exchange rate" of 10,-€ a blister (my proposal), and I gave him a Roman Field Camp which I had wanted to sell for 30,-€ for the jduges plus a box of plastic 20mm figs (whose retail price easily topped 30,-€, but which I would never have painted up) for the "villain" blisters.

my friend just got back from a trip to melbourne and eureka and got me some really cool stuff. Don't know when they will be up for general release but I got this that I'm very excited about, I love the way the musculature has been done on the big beasty
(http://farm1.static.flickr.com/137/349941212_669054bc0c_o.jpg)
Also got this fantasy figure sculpted by Victoria Lamb I think, the monkey is the coolest thing I have seen in a long time!
(http://farm1.static.flickr.com/151/349941210_68bcaded38.jpg)
Also got three messed up demons which are quite funny and gross at the same time. Nice! You can see pics of them at Chornofus's place, near the bottom of this thread.
http://www.chronofus.net/php/viewtopic.php?t=367

Wow! I love the Monkey with Fez and Pistol! :love:
(always liked Ms Lamb's painting and converting though!)

yeah, very cool! is the fig with the monkey normal 28mm?

Still no sign of Captain Withnail, Rashid, Osman and Yusuf from Artizan though! - I ordered them before Christmas!! :?

They arrived this morning and I discover that Captain Withnail is holding a wine bottle in his left hand! (you can't really see it in their catalogue shot. I'll try and post a photo tonight) :lol: :love:
:) They came with this free figure as well:

ll orders placed of £10 or above placed by January 21st will be sent a free christmas figure of the ghost of Marley.

The fantasy guy with the monkey would be excellent for Gloire! Where'd you get him? [edit: Never mind. I found him. :oops: ]
Looks like more great stuff from Eureka as well. I really like the Modern German Infantry with the gas masks. And the apes. And the conquistadors who would also be handy for Gloire...
-
yup, the fig with the monkey is normal 28mm

My parcel from Sharkit arrived today (1 week after payment from France, fair deal to me!), and to say that I´m overjoyed is an understatement! :lol:
Not only is the kit (Light Kampfgeher 1) excellent, well-moulded, with just some sprues and flash which will be easily removed, buuut...
... I had a great exchange of mails with Mr. Mangallon, proprietor of Sharkit, after I ordered; and guess what, he included some spares, which, with some juggling, will make me a SECOND WALKER! I´ll just need to add a gun, and I´m still stuck between using a Nebelwerfer or a Panzerfaust or Panzerschreck rack...
Unfortunately, no pics - Dminis is currently offline, but I´ve collaged up some shots "straight from the box" which I´ll upload ASAP.
Great kit, even greater service!!!
-
yup I saw those monkeys before, but thanks all the same!
-
@Westfalia Chris: Has this guy/company a website running? Never heard of them, but I'm always interested in nice walkers.
-
Oh, I´m terribly sorry! I thought I had posted the link, but here you go:
http://renax.club.fr/index.htm
The "day business" is the numerous short-run aviation kits, while the "Alterra 1" S&F models are more of a side venture, available here:
http://renax.club.fr/sharkit/alterraserie/alterraserie.htm
I´ve got this model:
http://renax.club.fr/alterra1/grVhMech72/grVhMech72.htm
and it is actually already painted, but since DM still is down, pics may take some more time.
-
Those are incredibly cool!
How tall is that 1/72 scale one?
-
My assembled model stands 8 centimetres (~3.2in) tall, but I guess you could squeeze out one more cm if you assemble the legs in a straightened fashion. The torso is large enough to crampedly seat a 25mm figure, and I think its fair deal with my intermediate and small 28s from BAM and WestWind resp., and will look great with actual 20mm figures - I´ll pull out my E-100 and Maus to have a "Wonderweapon Swimsuit Special" once DM is back online. ;)
Note that it is more of a large powered armour than a giant robot. But it looks very much WW2ish, especially now that I finished the ambush camo scheme.
-
Dminis.com is back up, so here are the pics of the Light Kampfgeher.
(http://www.dminis.com/images/img.1168419490870.jpg)
Above, you see three shots of the assembled model. As said, assembly went very smoothly. I added some detail using plastic strip, rod and tube, as well as some steel roundels at the head and arm joints.
Not visible in this view (and not to me until I primed it) is that apart from some holes on the bottom of the aft hull, some of the resin parts have some teeny-tiny air holes (really, pinpoint size) in them. Should be easily filled. The resin is easily worked and sanded, but at the same time rather stable and lightweight. It responded well to both my glue of choice (UHU ex Greven CA glue) and paints (GW Spray Primer and Vallejo Model & Game Color).
I actually painted the mini last night, but I won´t get around making pics until this afternoon, sorry. Have to leave now, but expect one or two posts in the "Wolfenfels" thread sometime around 1800 hours.
-
Replace the head and the machine gun and you have a great looking pulp robot as well.
Nice kit!
-
Did you lengthen the arm? I really like that look....off chance, you wouldn't know how tall the 1/35 one would be do you?
-
Did you lengthen the arm? I really like that look....off chance, you wouldn't know how tall the 1/35 one would be do you?
I actually shortened both the upper and lower arm by shaving off some millimetres of each, but I decidedly wanted a long, simian/alien-looking bot, and let´s face it, the bot isn´t as flexible as a human being, so to be able to pick small things up, I figured that a longer arm would make sense.
I assume that the 1:35th scale Walker will be about double size, ie some 15-17cm (~6in). There´s a pic with a 54mm figure in the 35-walker´s entry, so you might elaborate from that. If it is really important, why don´t you drop Renaud a line (he speaks a fine english, but we chose to correspond in french so I could practice a bit :D), and he´ll be happy to give you the info, I bet.
-
Yes, the long arm makes very much sense from a design standpoint.
Very impressive, can't wait to see your painted versions.
I think I will drop him a line. Thanks again.
-
Very impressive, can't wait to see your painted versions.
I´ve added a thread to the "Weird War Two" section, "Atomkrieg ´47".
Oh, and on size: I found this picture on the website, which has a centimetre-marked ruler to the side. You could calculate overall size from that, too, I guess.

These arrived from Artizan - Kentucky Davies (Not Indiana Jones!), Airship Pirates and Major Kreipe:
(http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/2821/hpim2987gb5.jpg)
These ones came free (!) because my previous order took a long time (due to Christmas) :mrgreen:
(http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/4492/hpim2989vq4.jpg)
I don't think I would have ordered any of these three, but I really like the Captain Haggan model - he is wearing a flying jacket with a patch on the back - He'll go nicely with my Air Pirates! And Colonel Braun is very 'Allo 'Allo and will make a good inept comedy villain.
Another shot of Captain Haggan and Major Kreipe so Tabletop can see the Major's left hand is empty and so I can show the Captain's jacket.

According to Wikipedia the Chinese characters read: “This foreign person has come to China to help in the war effort. Soldiers and civilians, one and all, should rescue, protect, and provide him medical care.”
Could be a bit anachronistic for a 1930s Pulp campaign, but it looks cool!

Cool! I'd like to see someone paint all the Chinese characters on the fig's back!! :lol:

That was known as a "Blood Chit." They were screen-printed onto a piece of silk. Some jackets had a second one stitched into the lining.
During the first Gulf War, our neighbor was a pilot in the Air National Guard. His squadron had "blood chits" made up in Arabic!
-
The Artizan minis are very tempting!
Does anybody know, if Artizan is offering them in a bargain set like they do with the 'starter packs' for their Berber-, Andalusian- and WW2-ranges?
Don't get me wrong, I'm always pleased to be able to get single miniatures rather than buying a lot of stuff I don't have a real use for. But in case of the 'Thrilling Tales' line, I guess I'd like to have 90% of it right away. :roll:
Hm, on the other hand, only four more miniatures (and the cultist leader) need to be released and you get them postal free, when ordering all of them... :D
-
They were talking about deal packs, but for much later in the year.
Drop them an e-mail, they are very friendly and helpful!

Well, here are my two latest miniature purchases. Got these from Hasslefree on Saturday. If I can get up the courage to paint my Limited Edition Libby on Sabretooth, she'll be used for Broadsword Adventures playtesting. Of course, I'm not talented like you Germans, so she may just sit in the box. :lol:
(http://www.rattrap-productions.com/PulpHeroes/Gallery/UnusedImages/LE_Libby.jpg)
This second is a set of our figures painted by Pat Connor. He did a fantastic job and I'm going to do single shots to put in the Gallery some time this week hopefully.

Very nicely painted models Richard!
Who's the chap on the right in the Libby on Sabretooth pic?
Not a mini but I got my copies of .45 Adventures and Dragon Bones in this morning's post! :mrgreen: (I only ordered them on Friday, from "Principles of War" in the UK).

Please excuse me, I have a sudden urge to visit the Rattrap website... :wink:

Who's the chap on the right in the Libby on Sabretooth pic?
That's the Hasslefree Executioner. I ordered him at the same time too. He's going to get some long pants added and then I will use him in Gloire as well as Broadsword Adventures
And Pat did a great job on the painted figures. I can't wait to add them to the Gallery.

I've been lurking here for a while soaking in all the great ideas as I'm quite new to pulp gaming, this thread seemed like a good place to say hello.
Here are my two latest additions, from Pulp Figures.
A new villain, Baron Von Explodenstein
(http://revford.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/images/pulp-von-explodenstein.jpg)
And a mad scientist, Doktor Klankengrind
(http://revford.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/images/pulp-doktor-klankengrind.jpg)
I painted these up this afternoon with the hope to get them on the table tuesday.
-
They look nice! And such fast work too!
-
Great work and fast! You must have some German in you. :lol:
-
Cheers, I've also got a bunch of hooded cultists to finish off, but I don't think I'll need them this week.
Looking around here Germany does seem to be the painting powerhouse of Europe, I'm not sure I could keep up with that kind of pace. :)
-
Bud and Lou, courtesy of Rich (arrived yesterday):
(http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k116/PeteMurray/God%20Wants%20It/bud-lou.jpg)
Mega Minis (formerly Metal Magic), monsters. Would be handy for a .45 Adventures based Gothic/Weird Horror game.
(http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k116/PeteMurray/God%20Wants%20It/mm-monsters.jpg)
...And some townsfolk.
(http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k116/PeteMurray/God%20Wants%20It/megaminis.jpg)
If Joseph Ochmann is reading this, these old Metal Magic guys are like my favorite fantasy miniatures ever.
Viridian Marines, because they were 40% off. I have no idea what I'm going to do with them, but they're pretty nifty.

edited for bad linkage. Twice dammit.

Lots of cool new figs, but Pete, the paint job on Bud and Lou. Could they look any less lifelike?
Dip them in PineSol and start over.

I have tons of those Metal Magic figs hanging on an old Citadel rack in my cellar!! (been wondering what all that moaning down there was about...) Anyway, what a delightful idea!! I knew that some day all those purchases from my time as store manager in a games store would be useful. Just knew it :D
Viridian Marines on discount??? Where? When? Please!!! I and a friend are planning to do some small scale Urban War / Metropolis.

Danke, mein amüsanter amerikanischen Freund!
:)
I think we'll go shopping a bit!
Edit: We ordered a Viridian Army Box (for me) and a Syntha Army Box (for my friend). Even if we have to pay 25% import taxes, it's still a bargain 8)
-
get Glorie and Bud and Lou today and also some nice Dogs from Warzone for the next Pulp game ,
Thanks Rich and Thanks also for the Dogs :D :love:
-
Glad they all arrived okay. Now what trouble are those dogs going to get into now?
:?:
-
Hi Grimm - I also got you some dogs. I will pass them to you at Tactica.
Best!
-
friend´S
first I want the Dogs to be guards for Pulp Nazi chick´s but I also thinking to turn them into Zombis .
What would you guys do ?
-
Live dogs Grimm definately I dont think Rotweillers should be zombies as they are too big and round plus they could be rabid or wild dogs etc where as zombie dogs limits them.
Ralpartha have dobermans which would work for zombie dogs
-
New figures for my 'Lost City of Mars' scenario I'll be running at Cold Wars...

I got a nice fig from Pete Murray! Thanks! :o
Pete, is it Foundry? Which range?
-
Bronze Age. You gonna keep the bases? I dremeled off the bases on my Greeks, and kind of regret it!
-
Pete, is it Foundry? Which range?
Foundry Renaissance Mercenary Character. The halberd is by Redoubt, but fits perfectly.

I hope to be able to undercoat them tomorrow and start paintin' asap.

Went to have a look at a local Wargames Convention Yesterday. Well the idea was to look, but I ended up with Amazing War Stories, Gutshot Wildwest rules and about £80.00 worth of Black Scorpion Cowboys.
Good job I wasn't looking to buy anything!!! :lol:
PM
-
...Gutshot Wildwest rules and about £80.00 worth of Black Scorpion Cowboys.
Gutshot is a great set of rules. I have them myself and they're done by two guys who love the Hollywood style Old West (Mike Mitchell and Mike Murphy). I've traded ideas with the both of them and I'll hopefully catch up with Murphy at GenCon this year.
-
can you tell me abaut the Gutshot Wildwest rules ?
-
@Pappa Midnight- Are the BS Cowboys really too huge for normal 28mm? I really want a few packs, but I've seen a few comp photos that make even a scale-cheat like myself shy away...
-
Grimm: First impressions of Gutshot is that it looks very good! The basic rules look pretty simple ( roll 2D6 v's a target number to succeed in an action). The rulebook has over 170 pages and has rules for campaigns etc.
There is a dowload sample of the rulebook so you can get a look at it. This IS NOT a lite version, just a sample
http://www.hawgleg.com/downloads.asp
I will give a run down when I've had a good read and played a game!
LeadAsbestos: They are BIG! They average 30mm from foot to eye ( about 34mm tall) and tower over foundry/westwind etc. Strangley enough they look pretty good next to my old RailWars minis ( Zombie gunfighters etc) which is a bonus. I don't think they would fit with "normal" 28mm but as I will only be using small numbers for skirmishing i'll stick with these. They are stunning minis, full of character and detail.
Regards
PM
-
Lead - I think the BS are alright with Artizans, but may be a few mm taller than Foundrys.

I just came back from a meeting and all these were waiting for me in a little jiffy bag from Artizan on my desk.
:love:
And Nethrag included some Pulp Figures' Rocket Corp for me on an order that came over the weekend, so I should get them tonight as well!
Top day! :lol:
Edit: Just got an e-mail from Principles of War that Amazing War Stories is in stock now, so I should have that in a few days too!

I'm half way through reading the 'teaser' version from the website, and I'll be back for the rules later in the year. First things first - now I'll go paint some pulp!!

I have a box full of these things in the loft? I thought they were smaller than 28mm 1/60th or less
-
Oh... :?
I hope not - I thought Lledo vehicles were the ones used by lots of people here for Pulp games? (Vehicle discussion thread (http://forum.backofbeyond.de/viewtopic.php?t=937))
Isn't this one (by dominic) from the same range of vehicles?

The Solido ones are nice, the Wreck truck is off for my Zombie town and the horse drawn fire wagon for my gangs of newyork project :0)

Cheap as chips! 8)

First up for my latest received are the Moonlight Miniatures Skeleton pirates. I just got these to use at the Return to Skeleton Cay scenario at Cold Wars in March.
(http://www.rattrap-productions.com/PulpHeroes/Gallery/UnusedImages/skeletonpirates.jpg)
The second is... can it be... :o :o :o ...it is! The Citizens of New Commerce figures arrived. These will be available March 1st (or earlier if you happen to go by the name of Grimm or win the painting contest he posted about. :mrgreen: ).
(http://www.rattrap-productions.com/PulpHeroes/Gallery/UnusedImages/citizens.jpg)
-
I picked up a die-cast plane that is pre-painted. It looks about right, but I need to screw it together to gfet a better idea of its size...
-
it is! The Citizens of New Commerce figures arrived.
Are they Citizens, or are they actually pawns in the Jade Hood's master plan?
:D
-
ok, here is a picture. As you can see, some assemble is required but its all screws and looks quite simple to do. I think I'm going to weather it abit before I put it together.
I think its plastic rather than die cast though, and it is marked on the box as Spad s. VII. Not being well vered in period planes (or planes of any sort) I'm not quite sure what it all means.
Anyway, it was only $13 Singapore dollars, (which is about 6-7 euros I think) which I thought was quite reasonable so I picked it up. There was at least 2 other types I think, I tempted to get another one...
copplestone figure added for scale comparison. Looks about right?

Got these two in the last few days for 99p and £1.20... wasn't so lucky on the postage on the second though :oops:

Lledo Rolls-Royce Phantom II and Matchbox Ford Model T van. I don't care about the colours as I'm going to repaint them anyway...
There are so many of them its never worth bidding against someone! Just look for the ones with minutes left and no bids!
Cheeap as chips! 8)
Quoted for truth brother.
Remember to sort by lowest price, and then look at the postage. However its a rule of eBay that the model you *really* want will either be too expensive or the postage is too high.
-
Is anyone interested in the Rolls Royce shown above?
I have 3 to sell - EUR1.50 each and EUR3.00 postage (EU only), if anyone is interested send me a PM.
-
Yes I take one please :P pay at the Tactica allright ?
-
Yes Grimm, no problem.
You got the last one!! :mrgreen:

I seems that everybody buys vehicles at the moment - so did I; Some Lledos and the awesome Opel Blitz White Metal kit from Ebob:

(http://www.ollbergers-malstube.de/bilder/blitz.jpg)
I'm not sure aboeut the size of the Lledo truck, I think it's a bit to small. What do you think? Here is a picture in comparision with the Opel and a miniature:

The opel is realy a must have :love: :love: :P :P
-
Could you make a close-up of the "Generation Ebay" article in the newspaper, please? :mrgreen:
-
Ollberger - here is a pic showing a man next to a Ford A pickup.
It is quite a small truck!
I think the size of the Lledo is just perfect for 28mm!!
Cheers

Yeah, the Opel is a much bigger truck!
I think they look fine. :mrgreen:
-

Ah, thanks for the picture dominic! I knew that the Ford T was pretty small, but I thought the Ford A was bigger...
-
Ollberger - I also have the ebob Opel. Is it easy to build? Did the parts fit well together?
-

It was the first multipart metal kit I ever assembled and I had no problems with it. The parts fitted very well without bending and there were no bigger gaps.

I got myself 2 of those pirates, but with him being so small, I find I really don't need the second for my GW pirate crew. If anyone is interested, please let me know!

I'd be interested.......

Last week I received ~60 Normans from Crusader (2nd hand).
Got some stuff at the Tactica Con:
- Even more Normans from Crusader
- Disposable Heroes rev. Edition
- A Vorlon fleet for B5:ACTA
- A WestWind walker 'Sarge'
- some Winsor Newton Series 7 brushes
- some blisters with Micro Art bases
and today I got my Old Crow order in the mail with two vehicles and other bits :)
-
The stuff I got at Tactica Convention:
(http://www.dminis.com/images/img.1172571107539.jpg)
I also got a Westwind "Panzer Mecha" which is currently undergoing basing.
-
Ah, Contemptible Little Armies. I have that, but still haven't played it. I use "In the Heart of Africa" with the Great War mod for my Great War games, but as and when I shift to fighting Johnny Turk I might give "Contemptible" a go.
Not a mini, but the postie just brought me this:
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y40/Plynkes/gloire.jpg)
Frankly it looks like a load of old rubbish, written by some half-pickled hack. Don't know why I ever sent off for it! :twisted:

It's not every day you get a wireless mouse and a Haddock mousepad in the mail. And it is neither polite nor accurate to call Herge a "half-pickled hack."

Last week I blew my "pledge" out of the water
4 packs of the copplestone gangsters, 2 packs of Pulp gnagsters adn 2 packs of coppers from e-bay (Grimm, I put the water hydrant and post box in the pack for you)
also ordered a copy of .45 adventure, looking forward to that and to top it all I got my movement trays through which should accomodate my WAB armies

Blimey, two cool things arriving in one day! In addition to Gloire earlier, a courier brought a new vessel for my campaign, this time the biggest one yet:
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y40/Plynkes/Jamelia.jpg)
(Biggles is standing by the turret for the purposes establishing the scale)
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y40/Plynkes/Jameliainside.jpg)
She was sold to me as a German, but I've got enough of those, I need her to pretend to be Royal Navy for a while. I'm considering calling her HMS Jamelia. Now that both my motor launches are at the bottom of the lake, they'll be reincarnated as Venus and Serena, escorts for this new monitor.
When my Commerce Raider, the SMS Elke hides in the Ufifi delta, it'll be the Jamelia's job to go in and get her. I'll probably tart her up a little bit before she appears on the table. A tiny bit of rust in a few spots, give the guns a lick of paint, a bit of shading and highlighting here and there, and some other details too, maybe.
Her potential foe, the Elke:
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y40/Plynkes/Elke.jpg)
-
wow, the ships are really not bad! Who is the manufacturer?
-
They are sold by The Virtual Armchair General. They are certainly not cheap, but the exchange rate helps a lot, so I occasionally treat myself to one.
I don't really have the skill or patience to build something like that for myself, so when I have a bit of spare cash lying around I find them very tempting.
-
The ships are excellent! I must see if I can afford to get one!

Perfect for those drive-by shootings. Grimm had these first. Thanks for sharing Grimm.
I think the passengers may be designed for a bigger car or a 1/48 scale one. The Lledo Model A in the picture is 1/52-1/53, and its a bit snug but they all still fit. Lesss work to make them fit than my ealrier Sloppy Jalopy passengers.

Are they even smaller than old Citadel and Ral Partha giants?

is up to the giant, the hill giant is ca. 5,5cm, the mountain one 6,5cm.
Anyway, they are perfect for the future Conan games and small 60x60 tables.

Well, not quite the latest mini received, but it's great having a wife who understands your obsession. For my birthday yesterday she got me a copy of Retro Pulp Tales (modern writers doing pulp tales set before 1960), World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie Wars, and a non-fiction title about Prohibition in New York City. Then, to top it off, three packs of ProCreate because she knows I plan on doing some serious attempts at sculpting.
I'm a happy man right now. :mrgreen:
-
Haha, that's great. I guess my girl is planning something similar...
Anyway, happy belated birthday!

All the best, Rich :)

Hi Folks
I just received today my Brigade Games German Naval MGs (actually five of
them!)
Let me say they are very nice and all in seamans rig with sailor caps and
wearing puttees. The gunner sports a beard and both the gunner and loader
have a water bottle on their belt. The NCO sports a pistol holster and
waterbottle on his belt and hold binos in his left hand. 8)
I intend to mix a couple of packs with the Germans in cork helmet MG crew
for variety.
Thanks to Lon and Mike for producing these lovely and much needed figures. :)
God Bless
Helen

Barbarian Queen , Cpt.Calamari and Chtulhu Idol
(http://forum.backofbeyond.de/images/misc/07_03_22_barbarian_girl_calamari_cthulhu.jpg)
isn't that the Ganesha or Chaugnar Faugn, instead of the Big C?
but i too just aquired Copplestone's Barbarian Queen, as well as ordering the Caveman Characters. the vendor had the Queen on hand at Cold Wars but we had to wait for the Caveman Characters to ship. but i also picked up some Armed Acheologists from him.
from other vendors i grabbed some Viking Bondi with Bows and Pulp Heroes from Artizan; a pack of Hersir and the promo Rooster Cogburn figure* and some pirate characters from Crusader; a small assortment of Superfigs: Perun, the Siberian, Hawkwind(i think that's his name?) and some others i can't recall. but the major portion of my lead is the new Typhon, Ghouls and Nekharu Archers for my Wargods army.
-
I don't suppose you could post a pic when you've assembled it, could you, Helen?
Still no pic of it on the Brigade site, and this is one I want to get (even though I've been using the sun helmet MG crew as sailors).

Hello,
received my Pardulon Tank on friday and started painting it on Saturday. Its nearly finnished. The Machine Guns are missing and the hatch.
I put already some crates on it and other stuff will follow. The model is easy to build, everything fits perfect and I like its look. Heres a pic !

Cheers

-
That was fast! I like it!!
What colour did you use as the base colour?
-
Hi Dom,
long time no hear :o)
I primed white and used Valejo English Uniform as a wash. Than Valejo Khaki Grey as a wash. Did a dry Brush with Khaki grey and Valejo Buff and a dipping technique Vikotnik showed me . That was done with more buff.
Iam especially proud on the tracks. They are Black, drybrush with Valejo Gun Metal Grey, GW Silver and than a wash with Valejo Game colour some Tierra Earth / very few Blood Red and Valejo Skin wash for the rusty look. I show you the tracks when we see us the next time. It really looks great.
Will do some more detail work in the next week and show the result when Iam done.
Bjoern

wow, nice work, Björn! definitely a must-have one! Is it available already?

Hi Prof,
thank you. The model is real fun. Iam soon making some .45 Adventure Amazing War Stories with this little device.
Iam sure Jens will make you one. Just send a PM to Zafarelli !

What does 'OVP' mean???

What does 'OVP' mean???
"Originalverpackt", meaning "in original box/packaging". I´m no expert for the collector´s terminology, but it may be similar to the english term "MIB"="mint, in box". It suggests that the item is in the original packaging and in delivery condition.
-
Man, you're supposed to put this temple in a fish tank! This is serious, and not for playing with toy soldiers! How dare you :lol:

OVP doesn't mean "MIB", just "in original packaging". The product could also be used and worn but has still it's original packagig (OVP).
-
Weeell, another case of "misnomer confusion strikes again" solved! :lol:
-
Hmm. If I buy something "OVP", I'd expect to get a new, unused item in the original packaging. Probably opened once or twice for inspection, but still unused. If the item showed signs of wear, I'd complain and return it. I recently bought a used camera, which was marked as such, but still came in the original packaging. Besides, you get about 77.000 Google hits for the search term "OVP MIB", most of them on Ebay. Seems people there take those terms as homonymous.
-

Most of them state "Neu OVP", which means "new in original packaging". And that would be the same as MIB, right.
Although, something that's "new" isn't necessarily MINT. But you have guaranty on items that are "new" so most sellers will send you items that are at least NEAR MINT to prevent you returning the item.
Yes, collecting records sooner or later drives you round the bend with all the M, NM, EX-, VG+ etc. gradings. :lol:

I'm eyeing that pirate too! but never seem to see it around or order from a store that stocks reaper. One day....

That was also always my interpretation. Thank you for clarification.
(Turns to wife) "See what you learn in miniature forums!!" :wink:
I wouldn't mind that temple though ;-) Great setting for ..oh sooo many adventures
My MAC-Minis (Mini-Art-Con) .. (http://miniatures.mehlinger.net/images/mac_minis.jpg)
.. that great event almost a week ago.
We received a free mini with the entrance, and I got a second mini (snowman) when I bought some modelling stuff. Three minis from Freebooter, two from Masquerade Miniatures and one from Tins & Bits, a smallish company I didn't know prior to the event. Not shown on the picture is a great outhouse (http://www.stronghold-terrain.de/seiten_inhalt/shop/shop_deu_art_6.html) from Stronghold-terrain.

Thats one hefty chunk of metal there! I've got her about somewhere to paint as well. :mrgreen:

Heh. Keeping her in the "family", then. I feel a Shakespearean speech coming on: "We few, we happy few..." :D
I only joined quite recently, though.
BTW, I noticed only just now what's going on in the background of the picture. Apparently a GW Mordheim Mercenary is about to assassinate the queen with a pistol, unless the Ral Partha Swashbuckling Thief manages to avert the shot in time. This set-up was a total accident, I swear!

I was going to suggest ruthless GW tactics myself. Like that Simpsons episode where someone designs a toy programmed to destroy all other toys :D
Regarding the Elizabeth miniature, does anyone know why the cuff of her one sleeve looks different to the other? You probably can't tell in my photo. I might resculpt that, unless someone tells me it was the fashion of the time or points me to the portrait the miniature was modelled after (if there is one).
-
Look on the bright side of things: If the Partha Thief fails to save her she can count herself lucky to be killed by a weapon that's far ahead of the times.

Then everyone will be happy once the Fortress Figures 6mm hovertanks you probably can't see in the background break out of their blister pack and frag the whole lot :lol:
-
According to the picture I have of the Elizabeth mini the cuffs are the same. Maybe there is a bit of flash left?
Today I got a load of limited Foundry mini's: Miss Heaven & Miss Hell, Phart the jolly jester, The alchemist and come back you scamp (thank you, Chris Steadman :wink: ) and the reverend Kendrick's vigilance committie with father Pious McSweeney. Lovely miniatures but unfortunately I have no digital camera :(
If anyone else has any limited Foundry miniatures they want to sell or trade please me know. I made a list of limited mini's I know exist and I would like to collect as many as I can get my fat little fingers on. If anyone else wants the list or wants to add to it, please send a PM as well.
-
Can you give me some infos on "Phart the jolly jester" (AKA "Medieval Jester" and "The Sad Jester"?)? Sculptor, Month/Year of release etc.?
-
Well, thanks to Gerard over at Shifting Lands, I now have the boats that I will use in the upcoming Under the Black Flag.
Shown here with some painted Foundry Pirates:
(http://www.rattrap-productions.com/Gloire/Images/Boats.jpg)
Expect to see some shots of the two bigger boats in the pirate supplement.
Gerard was also great in that he tossed in some of the smaller boats and the mini barrel subs. I'll have to come up with a game just to use those now. :D
-
I'm sure I speak for everywhen when I say how unfair it is that you get the ships instead of the author. :wink:
-
Phart was released near the end of 2002 and was the free gift until the end of 2002 if you ordered over the internet. I think that might have been the last free miniature from that peroid. I have no information as to who's the sculptor. Phart is featured in Wargames Illustrated 182 of november 2002 (back page).
-
Buzgob: Do you know any pictures online of the miniature? The figure I have definitely has one "plain" cuff and one ornate, frilly cuff. Rather bizarre, but then again not that hard to fix I suppose.
Regarding ships for Under the Black Flag, I have to admit I'm very split about what to do with that whole situation. I can hardly buy one decent-sized ship without feeling the walletburn, let alone the two I'd need for gaming boarding actions. I'm also too picky to get the paper one from WorldWorks Games. A real dilemma :?
-
There's a painted pic in the compendium of early 2002. If I can get my scanner to work I cn try to get it to you. But you'll have to wait till later this week if you don't mind.
-
I passed this figure to a mate who has an English HYW army. Didnt the figure stare into a puppet oj a stick effigy of "himself"?

Actually, moreover to just checking the cuffs (which I really can't do anything about except resculpt it, anyway), I could do with that picture as a painting guide. No pressure though :)
-

Nope, I meant the album from which the lyric is taken :wink:

No Argonor the Lyric is from the Poem the Highwayman by Alfred Noyles :)
So could it be that the Lyrics have been pinched :P

Loreena McKennit: 'The Highwayman', 'The Book of Secrets'
And you're right, Alfred Noyes is credited as author of the lyrics :)
-
My apologies Argonor :oops: I didnt realise until I searched that name that there was a song :D ..very like Enya, nice tune many thanks.
The Highway poem stuck in my mind since I learnt it at school when I was ten. Much like most of England Dick Turpin was said to have passed through, drunk, died or robbed some where in the area and in our village there was a Turpins lane which was said to have been one of his hide outs :mrgreen:
I am planning on a batch of the Outpost Highwaymen once I get to Salute this year
-
ahhhh Op5, I'm so envious of your ships! :love: I'm working on some pirates myself! as is many others it seems! :lol:
-
Pete's envious of my ships as well. :D
Luckily Gerard is awesome to deal with and the ships only took about a week to get here. And though he did toss in some goodies for me, the regular price on the ships was not bad at all.
Now I just have to put the whole thing together. :roll:
-
Rhoderic: Thanks, and sorry to be a hassle
No hassle at all. I wanted to have that scanner working for nearly a year now, but never got to it because of "other stuff". This is a good reason for me to finally get it done :wink:
I took another look at the cuffs in the picture and I see that the frails at the top of the right cuff (looking at it) is better defined than the left cuff. It looks like the painter painted the dept in the left cuff to make it look like it was sculpted the same as the right one. I reckon I should have some time on wednesday to get you the picture.
-
Buzgob, thank you for the info.
I got today:
"Two Classic Albums from H. P. Lovecraft (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H._P._Lovecraft_%28band%29)"
(drug-influenced folk-rock from the late 60's)
Lovecraft - Die Farbe aus dem Raum

Hey Rich,
If you figure out a way to fix sails to Geboom's ship, let me know!
I want to rig my pirate ship too!
(http://www.napnuts.com/pirates/pirate_ship01.jpg)
-
Dom: I have not decided which I am going to do yet, but I am either going to "tie" and glue the cross beams on, just below the double mast piece or I'm going to drill a hole on the double mast piece and put it through there.
I'm going to use round chopsticks for the cross piece.
I'll probably do the sails out of paper since fabric just won't look right.
-
leather boot laces, thats the way to go get either black or natural leather, wet it and then wrap around the mast and through some dowel for the spars etc. If done tightly enough and tied off it will shrink once dry and shouldnt move. I used this on mt OG ships and it worked well. :)
-
Rich - have you figured out how you are going to extend the mast?
Lowtardog - thanks for the bootlace tip!
-
The main center mast I'm going to add the crows nest for. For the rest I may just use my chopsticks again with green-stuff. To make the seams less apparent, I'll repeat the banding that is done on the lower part of the mast.
-
haha, I'm using a lot of chopsticks for my ship too! I have some experimenting to do for the sails...
-
@ Rhoderic: I've scanned the picture. Hope it's clear enough.
(http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w145/Buzgob/FoundryQueenElizabeth.jpg)
Edit: I'm not too clever with posting pictures, so if it's too big let me know and I'll resize or delete or whatever :oops:
-
Thanks, and what a daunting paintjob they did! I will never, ever pull of something like that :o
Big is good, serves me better as a painting guide. I'm fairly sure the cuffs are the same as on my miniature, and the lace on the left one (our left, her right) is just painted on. Seems like someone at Foundry slipped up when they produced this miniature... no biggie though :roll:

Pictures once my camera's set up again :(

Just got these from Kevin at Tin Bits, www.tinbits.com

Great buys, Grimm! I'm going to end up getting the Brigade Mob Wars civilians, too, but they'll be for my dad's train layout.
I'm really going to have to bite the bullet and buy a crap-ton of Artizan one of these days, instead of just talking about it.
-
Hey Pete ,
Your Dad has a train layout ? and you have paint him figures ?
where is the problem a Train layout sound like the best place to play a Pulp Game . :mrgreen:
-
Hey Grimm,
My dad is building a 1940s-1950s era On30 layout, set in Colorado. It's actually not very easy to play games on, because it's only a shelf, no deeper than 2' at the widest point. It runs around about a quarter of the basement walls, about 50" off the ground.
My dad really only likes painting engines. I like doing scenery and people, so it's working out well. My brother is an architect, and is going to paint the backdrop, supposedly.
Trains are my other hobby. Sadly neglected lately, but I do like them.

Got my order from Foundry's Ebay store today: The ECW Civilians pack and Eacre the Elfen Warrior. I'm a little peeved that I didn't get the old ECW Civilians pack with 7 figures as was pictured in the Ebay store, but the new one with only 6 figures (exact same as the pack being sold in Foundry's regular webstore). Now the pack is suddenly removed (along with all the other historicals packs) from the Ebay store, as well. I'm not sure I'll pursue the matter, as the missing figure is a servantwoman/commoner wench which there is an abundance of from other manufacturers.
Eacre (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=8786868005&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT) I will turn into an exotic, non-elven hero for Broadsword Adventures. He's 32mm to the eye, making him properly regal and intimidating.
-
...And today I got my OTHER order from Foundry, the one I made through their regular webstore (as opposed to the Ebay store) on the same day as the one I received yesterday. I now have a satisfactory selection of Foundry swashbuckling miniatures and will probably not buy any more, considering the latest price rise that came into effect the other day. I got two packs of Elizabethan Sea Dogs (Lord Hawksmoor's Gentlemen Adventurers and Squire Jacoby's Doughty Fellows) and one pack of pirates (Floating Filth). I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Floating Filth pack had 8 figures, not 6 as pictured in the webstore.
-
Hey Guys what did you get at Salute ?
-
My purchases for the day included:
Pirates from Black Scorpion.
Armed Gorillas (yes, the spelling is correct!) from Graven/Monolith.
Barbarians(Old Grenadier) from EM4.
Treasure chests/hordes from Grendel.
All the gangster & cavemen packs and the Barbarian Queen from Mark Copplestone that were an offer too good to refuse.
Had a nice chat with Mark who said he is still thinking about doing a new range of barbarians, possibly a number of different tribes! I suggested this would be a very good idea!!
I hadn't been to Salute for the past few years and enjoyed it. Saw quite a few traders I had never seen before apart from online. Recommended if you can make it next year.
-
Being a bit disappointed that I couldn't go to Salute I decided to make an order with Foundry. Given their pricerise around the time I wanted to order I might have ordered a bit more then I originally anticipated. Further comments from certain members here about never having enough pirates also helped there.... :wink:
The end result: I just received 4.75 kg of new metal to add to the existing pile. 42 blisters of goodness :love: . 5 of them are not mine, but for Jase (who doesn't even know yet it's in :lol: ), but the rest is mine, all mine, my precious ....
I've got Pirates, Darkest Africa, AWI and some Assyrians.
Jase, I'll bring yours on Wednesday :mrgreen:
-
Ha ha! I also didn't go to Salute, but placed an order with Mark Copplestone for his WW1 Turkish Army offer!
-
Since the internet made so many brands so easily available for me most events aren't for buying miniatures any more. I can avoid a bit of shipping costs, but I really enjoy all the demo's and beautifully painted miniatures a lot more. I went to Partizan a few times and just drooled over all the games that were played there. Last year at Crisis in Antwerp I only bought 1 book. I even surprised myself that day :lol:
Ofcourse I had enough inspiration to make a few online orders a few weeks later :wink: Sometimes companies are even willing to send it for free if you order enough, even if they don't advertise it.
-
At Salute I got:
IronClad Miniatures Steam Tank 6.
Pig Iron 2 x heavy infantry packs.
A Tardis from Old Crow and some vehicles and stowage stuff from them as well.
Several hasslefree figures.
Westwind Productions biker gang - 10 figures riding large motorbikes.
and Finally a TM Terrain custom build load of warehouses to complete my Victorian London game. :) :)
Spent way too much money
:(
-
Hey Doninic I also have the WW1 Turkish so what color do you use for them ?
-
Hi Grimm. I did not receive the figs yet. Maybe I will use VMC English Uniform and mix in some VMC Russian uniform for variety. Not sure yet. Must test the colours and see how they look.
-
Hey Malamute,
Are you going to take pictures of your stuff when it's done? Would love to see them.

Got my order from Discount Hobby today, mainly consisting of Urban War stuff that I mean to use for my cyperpunk project. They were all 40% or 60% off so I'm happy. Also got some Mega Miniatures stuff (various fantasy adventurers that'll work passably as swashbucklers) and I must say I'm pleasantly surprised by the sculpting quality. They look much better in person than I thought they would from the pictures in the webstore. I only wish they were a bit larger, but I'll wing it.
Oh, and also some Pegasus Hobbies palm trees and banana trees from another webstore. They look like hell to assemble, which I hadn't expected, so I'll just put them aside for now.
-
The Mega Miniatures fantasy figures are sculpted by our very own Josef Ochmann (aka Bob Da Dawg here on LA.) They're among my most favorite fantasy figures ever.

last Cold Wars i recieved Crusader's Rooster Cogburn on horseback. i just finished basing him on a nice 0.8mm plywood oval base from Litko Aero. i used some green stuph to make a thick base so the moulded base of the figure could be hidden. looks rather nice if i say so m'self. i even took some photso fo it and massaged them in Photoshop to be a managable size and quality.
now i need t search for a (free?) host site so i can show it to you :roll:

Those resin houses I bought pre-2002 (I recall paying an awful lot of DMarks for the 5-house set!) from a German manufacturer at Essen Spiel trading fair. I haven´t seen them anymore since then, so I´m afraid they might be out of business. I´ll try to track them down, though.
EDIT: No way to find them, I´m afraid. Too bad I forgot the name of the manufacturer/supplier. :( :?

after much ado - i am finally able to provide some pictures of what i've been working on - the last miniature onto the mountain from Cold Wars: Rooster Cogburn:
(http://zbyshko.leadadventure.com/images/RoosterCogburn1.jpg)
i removed a wee bit of metal connecting a front hoof to the base; it looked a little silly. but now one hind foot is all that holds him up. DON"T press to hard on Rooster hat or ... i'll cry! :cry:

Two nice packages in the post today:

It's about time Biggles had some competition in the skies! Enter Erich von Stalhein (though in Hermann Göring's plane, by the looks of things.)
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y40/Plynkes/NewOspreys.jpg)
And some lovely books! Though typically, in addition to dragging their heels Osprey failed to send two of the books I ordered. It would be nice just once if they had everything in stock that I asked for and sent it promptly.
Grr...
-
Plynkes - you are doing everything I want to do! Except that you are more focused than I am!! Excellent stuff!!
-
Except that you are more focused than I am!!
I most certainly am not! All that has happened is that stuff has arrived in the post. It will be years before anything gets done about it!
:)
-
Poly, I need that Ottoman book to paint up some Turks for Historicon. Can I have a plate listing? I bought Warrior Peoples of East Africa after your review. I much prefer having other people tell me whether or not it's worth the time to buy an Osprey.
-
No probs, Pete. Gotta go back to work right now, though. I'll do it a bit later, okay?
-
No, I demand that you jeopardize your employment for the sake of my idle curiosity.

Ohhh, you got the Mark I book! Lovely one, one of the best Ospreys I ever bought.

No, I demand that you jeopardize your employment for the sake of my idle curiosity.
I knew you would say that. That's what I would have said, too. Just for that I shall make you wait some more.

Plate A: Senior Officers and Ceremonial Dress
1) Mustapha Kemel Bey, General Staff Service dress, 1915
2) Enver Pasa (their spelling, not mine), dress uniform c.1917
3) Standard Bearer with regimental flag, Nisanci (Rifle) Battalion
Plate B: Infantry
1) Turkish line infantryman, marching order, c.1914
2) Infantryman, off duty, Galicia c.1917

3) Officer, machine-gun detachment
Plate E: Artillery
1) Artillery officer, Gallipoli 1915
2) Artillery officer, Galicia

3) Boy soldier, volunteer bomb thrower at Gallipoli, 1915
I like the naval landing party chap. As soon as I saw him I thought "that's a Brigade German sailor headswapped with a Brigade Turkish Infantryman!" I want some, and I'm gonna do it. I don't care how unrealistic it might be to include them in scenarios, they just look too cool for school. I'll fit them in somewhere.
-
Very, very much appreciated. I think I shall have to get this one.
I agree that the Istanbul Fire Brigade is not exactly a military formation, but maybe it was one of those things where the artist HAD to do the plate. No doubt someone on TMP will complain that they got the lapels wrong.
-
And for that I will use your avatar, reversed, and with an Evil Spock goatee so that people will know we are bound by the iron bonds of eternal contrariness.
That sounds like a fun game. Can everyone play?
Update: I've since updated my avatar so really there is no joke here any more. Move along... nothing left to see.
-
You people will regret mocking operatives of the mighty SMERSH! (Or SPECTRE, if you prefer the film).
Crazy fools.
-
Actually, a quick look at the book reveals that the Istanbul Fire Brigade was a regular army infantry regiment!
Those crazy Ottomans, eh? So who put out all the chip-pan fires and rescued little old ladies' cats from trees in Constantinople while the lads were all away at the front being blown up by Peter O'Toole?
-
They're probably like the General Post Office Rifles in the Sudan!
-

Get out. Really? Now I must have this book. My comment about a TMPer complaining about the wrong cuffs stands as is.
I think everyone should create homages to your avatar. Unfortunately we're nearly out of rotations, leaving us only with variations of facial hair. I'll point out that Groucho glasses are still an option.

There's actually lots of things you can still do with the Avatar. Like make her undead. :lol:

This is hilarious!
But who is that Avatar supposed to be anyways?

Rosa Klebb from James Bond.

Nope. George Sanders from "Village of the Damned."

Hey Pete, I sent you a PM. Did you get it? I only ask because unlike the other PMs I have sent, it is sitting on its own in the "Out" box, rather than the "Sent Box."
It appears I have stuffed up. Not sure what I did wrong. This PM thing is confusing.

Battle Honours Ottoman Field Gun
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y40/Plynkes/Turkishgun.jpg)
Not quite First Division stuff (a bit like the photo, sorry about that), but I think I've been a little spoiled by Messrs. Copplestone and Owen. Besides, Great War Ottoman gear isn't exactly easy to come by and there's not a lot out there in 28mm.
Anyhow, it's nice enough and will do fine. A little bit of miscasting on the shield I think, which I'm not too impressed with, but it's fixable so I sha'n't be sending it back.
-
Plynkes - interesting piece you have there!
I've always hesitated ordering from Battle Honors because they don't put pics of their figures on their site.
Are they much smaller than Copplestones or Artizans?
-
Yes, I have always shied away from them for the same reason, but I really wanted an Ottoman gun so I took a chance and ordered this single item, more in hope than expectation.
Here they are with some other manufacturers' figs:
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y40/Plynkes/BattleHonoursComparison.jpg)
If you had asked me beforehand I would have said they were smaller and more puny than Copplestone and Brigade, but looking at that pic I think they fit in pretty well. The sculpts aren't quite as nice as Brigade and Copps, but they don't look out of place.
Sorry for the slightly blurry photo quality, but I've been 'on the Jake' just a little tonight. :)
-
You're right. Size wise, they seem to fit in fine, contrary to popular perceptions!
As usual, the OG guy is either drunk or leaning into a hurricane!! :lol:
-
That's a little harsh. he's supposed to be serving a gun, and looks fine when you actually let him do that, rather than putting him in an identity parade, where he gets all nervous and needs a drink to calm himself..

It is a few week´s ago since Graven Steve present me these Cthulhu fresco.

Mega Minis "Starship Crew" figures. Very nice sculpts, but on the small side. Closer to Ral Partha than to modern styles.

A GW Ogre. He's a pirate! I'd like him a lot better without the gnoblar on his shoulder, but what's a man to do? He'll probably get into a game at Cold Wars.

A ten-figure squad of Quar by Zombiesmith. Only one is pictured here. These are fantastic models--I can't believe how much fun they are. For this photo I just superglued the head into the neck socket, but it'll have to be pinned for real assembly. The join in incredibly small and supports a lot of weight.

Short answer: Not until tonight. :)
Long answer: Not big. They're hunched over and the arms are very thin. The torsos are very fat. I'll put one next to a Space Marine and let you be the judge. That base is roughly the size of a penny, if that helps.

-
Some arachnids for Starship Troopers....
Nice. Are they palstic or resin?
I can answer that, as I have the boxed set: They are hard plastic.
I like the rules, but never got 'round to playing the game, as it takes me almost as long to assemble a multi-part plastic MI Cap Trooper as to paint an entire Battle Company for LotR.... :lol:
-
Yep the warrior bugs are plastic, as are tanker bugs and the flying ones. Others are lead and all are very nice and not too bad to put together
I agree with Argonor about the CAP troopers, so I went for Light Infantry which are lead. Some of the power armour etc is good though

(http://forum.backofbeyond.de/images/misc/07_05_29_black_cat_pirate_specialists.jpg)
and I've got (bought on Ebay) two chinese pirates packs. The best is these are the old packs with still 8 miniatures! No doubles! I'm a happy bunny :mrgreen:

Oh........DAMN.
I was so hoping this wasn't coming out yet.
My poor, poor wallet :cry:
Sorry to disappoint you, but I feel with your wallet.
hope the game is at least as enjoyable as models and whole idea! I'm jealous too Wink
*Grin* The fluff alone is amazing. I almost peed when I stumbled over the part where the pope gave his benediction for the creation of a city in hell :lol:
I have not yet finished reading the rules, but what I saw so far is _very_ interesting.
Cool! How much did that deal cost?
Philibert offers two kind of deals. The small one with two factions, rulebook, extra mini and (I think) the terrain for € 99,- + postage. Or the huge "complete" deal with everything for €171,- (postage included). That's the one I took.
My wife didn't hit me yet but couldn't help muttering "big kid" while shaking her head :D
-
Are the HellDorado rules in proper english, or translated english? (Gods forbid!)

I guess it isn't English at all. :cry:
(Please tell me the opposite so I can go and order it too!)

Greetings,
Are the HellDorado rules in proper english, or translated english? (Gods forbid!)
I guess it isn't English at all. Crying or Very sad
(Please tell me the opposite so I can go and order it too!)
Nope, rules, cards etc. are in french. AFAIK there is no english translation around (not yet anyway). Though there IS an english blog (http://helldoradogame.blogspot.com/) around as well as an american asmodee (http://www.asmodee-us.com/) website. So I think there will be a game available...sometime.
Wow! So I am not the only one that...
:mrgreen: No indeed you are not.
-
I love it :x when my wifes compares my minis with little dolls and playmobil.
There is a german forum, which is translating the basic rules into german.
And they also want to add the cards translated online as the Dark Side
did with Confro.

Inspired by Nowfel's discovery of a 1/60 Lockheed Electra (http://forum.backofbeyond.de/viewtopic.php?t=1623), and TadPorter's suggestion of Asheville Diecasts (http://www.ashevillediecast.com/cart.php?target=category&category_id=458) as the place to get it, I dived it and got one. I also got a 1/60 Blackhawk helicopter as well (because it looked shiny and cool). With the exchange rate these worked out at £6 and £5 respectively, and the postage was another £9. Not bad...
Anyway they arrived yesterday. Here are some piccies:
(http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s83/gundamentalist/blackhawk3.jpg)
(http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s83/gundamentalist/blackhawk1.jpg)
The 28mm miniatures are a SAS patrol from The Assault Group.

The last picture is a Corgi 1/64 Little Bird I picked up last year.
(http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s83/gundamentalist/electra1.jpg)
Here's the Newray 1/60 Lockeed Electra with the arch aviatrix Leni Honeystuff (A Ral Partha 1930s adventuress, long OOP I think)
(http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s83/gundamentalist/electra2.jpg) (http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s83/gundamentalist/electra3.jpg) (http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s83/gundamentalist/electra4.jpg)
I'm researching paintschemes for the Electra, and the Blackhawk needs a little drybrush weathering but I think they're great.
-
the chopper is great! maybe a bit to small to exactly fit 28mm scale, but for future wars gaming should work perfect! :)
-
why I can´t get these plane here in germany :cry:
-
got on ebay the old Perry's Foundry Tiger Hunt set. Seems to be OOP in the meantime. Nice one, I think it will look great if painted

My plane arrived :love:
(http://www.matakishi.com/Burma%20plane%201.jpg)
(http://www.matakishi.com/Burma%20plane%202.jpg)
B-339E Buffalo No. 448 Squadron RNZAF
-
great one! Is it painted?
-
Hand painted, inside and out.
-
Envy :D not air-brushed?
I've also bought some planes in the meantime but have to paint them first :cry:
-
One of the rare cases where I dislike 1:48th, just a bit too big for a small plane like the Buffalo... but it looks SOOOO splendid.
Is the landing gear fixed, or can you mount it open or closed?
-
:love: :love: I just love the Buffalo!! :love: :love:
-
The landing gear can be up or down, there's a flying stand. However, you have to decide once because you fit the landing gear down with a spanner thing so it won't move. The wheels get locked in place and won't retract again. The cockpit canopy slides back and forward though, which is cool.
It's actually a small model, dwarfed by my Stuka.
It is airbrushed, sorry Prof. I didn't understand your meaning.
-
Hey matakishi - That plane must have belonged to me once - It has my initials on the side :lol: :lol:
-
60 Tupi Indians arrived this morning from The London War room. From the pictures I was a bit wary as they looked true 25mm in scale and the painting was a bit heavy (red/black war paint.
They arrived promptly and safe and sound with postage it was a good deal at £39 about 55p a figure. As I want these for an army I wasnt worried about repeats and to be honest there are a variety of the tail feather (will post picture later) with add to variety.
for scale they are a good match for Copplestone, a little cruder but nice sculpts.
big thumbs up for me :)
-
Got the Superfortress
(http://www.witchfindergeneral.de/miniatures/SuperFortressWalker.jpg)
some days ago.
I'll do a real photo myself till the end of june.
And I got the Alice in Wonderland Frothers-Set. Late but it was cheaper than new.
And I bought some tape measures (with both, centimeter and inches) - 1 euro each!

today received from Brigade, the merchant crew
(http://forum.backofbeyond.de/images/misc/07_06_08_brigade_merchant_crew.jpg)
-
That one chap in the centre left looks a likely candidate for Archibald Haddock. I'm going to have to get me some of these. Pity I'm waiting on a Brigade order already. I hadn't spotted these.
-
Hey Prof. I just ordered them too :)
-
Some Zombie fun for me this month, the new Nazi Zombies in Helmets from West Wind.
Helmets are important to protect those Brains. No weak spots on my horde of zeds! :)
The pack came with a selection of twenty models from eight different corpses:

(http://revford.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/temp/new-ww-zeds-corpse-2.jpg)
And 5x the same sprue of four different Brains:
(http://revford.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/temp/new-ww-zeds-brains.jpg)
As I can't resist interesting looking bits I picked up another couple of models from West Wind while I was ordering these:
(http://revford.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/temp/new-ww-thingys.jpg)
The big chap is going to be an alien bounty hunter for our Doctor Who and other Scifi games.
The kneeling chap will become a Pulp Hero once I find some better pistols for him. It's got to be either 'broomhandle' Mausers, Webley Mk VIs or 'Revenant' style LeMats, then I've got to find some. :)

A beautiful set. I got mine about a month ago when I launched my dampferer project. I forgot to buy the dockside characters however.

Do you have any plans in using this plane in a game?

Prof, I'm using the unarmed merchant crew for my navy including my U-Boat and gun-boat. My good friend Leroy is working on an armoured trawler for me at the moment. I intend to convert some of these chaps with German sailor caps.
They are really nice sculptured figures. Well done to Richard Ansell for creating these lovely chaps.
God Bless
Helen

Just kidding. I am getting married to a lovely gal come July 14 who has a surprising tolerance against lead and brings me nice stuff from German East Africa.

Thanks Dom that looks like a real fun game :) I looked on matakishi's website and sited the Buffalo he bought - well done to him.

Thanks for your lovely comment.

Helen,
Re: my lovely little plane,
The scale of a Crossfire engagement probably precludes using air support but it may feature in a game if I have a retreating Japanese column.
I see it more as an objective for when the Japanese attack a British/allied airfield.
I really only bought it because I liked the shape :lol:

Hi Helen
I could be upgrading my early war British to 28mm if suitable figures are released! The Artizan ones are too Desert specific, in my opinion. And the TAG ones are late war.
Matakishi - the game we played was Crossfire, representing a small section of the Kota Bahru landings in Dec 1941. The Buffalo just happened to be there after flying a sortie against the ships offshore and decided to strafe the beach (with limited effect), but it made a good pic!

Hi Dom
Thanks for your comments. Hopefully you may see some further expansions of the Brigade Games Pac War extend to the Early Malayan Campaign. Incidently, the War Memorial restoration team are restoring the Type 95 Ha Go that was destroyed by the Aussie Anti-Tank unit in the Malayan campaign. Its a popular picture of two knocked out Type 95s by the Aussies on the road. The team are doing a fab job.
God Bless
Helen
-
Helen - that would have been at the famous Gemas ambush which bagged 8 tanks? It's a pity there weren't more successes like that. Early on in the campaign at Jitra, a Gurkha with an ATR also managed to kill a couple of tanks, but most of the AT guns were lost in the retreat.

For our Participation Game at Crisis !

Nice work Bjoern! How many must you paint?
I will also be at Crisis this year, so look forward to seeing your game!
-
I havent painted them Dominic. I bought them yesterday and I used the pictures from the NorthStar Web Page.
The Britts will attack with two Pardulon Tanks and about 25 to 30 men.
I dont have the whole scenario in mind yet.
Iam looking forward to meet you there Dom ! But first comes Juli !!!!
Cheers

Only part of my latest order
(http://i17.tinypic.com/4pn4n68.jpg)
Artizan Designs Nacht Jaegers with the as of yet unreleased officer that Dylan was so very kind to include.
I am quite fond of this new officer. The eye patch and face make him look like a battle scarred veteran
-
Pixel, did Duncan say when the officer is due for release? He looks great.

My painted figures arrived from fatgoblin today (well yesterday actuyally but only picked upt his morning.) They look great and I can't wait to get them on the board!

Now I just have to wait for the Chinese pirate from the Professor and a bunch of the painted figures from ollberger and I'll be set for a while. :lol:
-
Rich, your chinese pirate is already on the way :)

Finally my Daleks and Doctor Who game arrived from Black Tree. Lucky old me I did get a copy of the game signed by Tom Baker. :)
However in all the excitement I forgot to take any pictures of the Daleks in the raw metal, so here is a bad photo of my first two painted. I've got the shakes today so any photos are going to be blurry.
A Supreme Dalek in black and a Soldier Dalek in the new two-tone gold style.
(http://revford.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/images/doctor-daleks-group-1.jpg)
I found this gallery of Dalek pictures useful for colour scheme details:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/gallery/daleks/index.shtml
Especially this one:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/gallery/s1_06gallery/1024/14.jpg
-
Nice one Rev - I am particularly fond of the Gold look on the new Daleks. I think I prefer it to the original style. :)
-
I can never get over over how much a household appliance these things look. Yet in some strange way they work! Then again there was always something sinister about my grandma's old baking machine...
-
Nice one Rev - I am particularly fond of the Gold look on the new Daleks. I think I prefer it to the original style. :)
The Gold look is really good on them. We've seen lots of Dalek colour schemes over the years, especially if we count the rainbow colours of the Invasion movies, but the Gold is the best look so far.
I'm glad they didn't go with the camo look that's in some of their concept art from that gallery.

It could be the fearsome plunger and food mixer weapons they carry. :)
Daleks are just a wonderful design that has stood the test of time, fantastically inhuman.
-
Rev, Having seen your painted Daleks, I have convinced myself I need more of them and have just ordered another six from BTD :)
You can never have enough Daleks :lol:

Miss Marbles with some Aegyptian idols which eventually will go into my British Museum terrain.
(http://www.adventuregaming.tsome.com/croc_mummies.jpg)
Some mummies, caskets and masks from Reaper, Ral Partha and Croc. I never liked the idea of skelletal instead of human masks on the caskets. The real egyptians got it right, those stony faces are much scarier.
(http://www.adventuregaming.tsome.com/croc_canopic_jars.jpg)
Canopic jars, you know, the ones where they pickled your kidneys and eyebrows or whatever. Four are from Croc, the other four, the large ones, are from Ral Partha.
Accoriding to Wikipedia:
In addition to hieroglyphics, figures of gods were often hand painted on the jars. These were the Five sons of Horus, the guardians of the organs.
Imsety (man-headed): liver
Hapi (baboon-headed): lungs
Duamutef (jackal-headed): stomach
Qebehsenuef (falcon-headed): intestines
Phullingyourlegef (spongebobsquarepants-headed): pinky toe
That last one makes me wonder if Wikipedia is all that reliable...
-
For a WW2 project in 1/72:
3 Shermans (prepainted. OMG :lipps: ) by Easy Model
101st Airborne + US Infantry by Italeri
one building
100 figures, 3 tanks and terrain for ~40 Euros. I should stick with 1/72 :roll:

Imsety (man-headed): liver
Hapi (baboon-headed): lungs
Duamutef (jackal-headed): stomach
Qebehsenuef (falcon-headed): intestines

I think Hapi is the made-up one.
-
The Idols and Jars look great.
I've been looking to put in a order to Croc Games since I saw the Arc in their collection, now you've shown me a load more stuff that's going to have to go on my list. :)
-
I think Hapi is the made-up one.
Really? I was thinking maybe Imsety was fake to 'cause pickled liver sounds just too gross to be true.
Reverand Ford, I bought the Arc to and it is super, super nice. I forgot to take a pic though and now I can't be bothered since the macro feature of my fiancee's camera is poo.

New things for this month, I'm having a break from painting Weird War so it's the "Queen Victoria and the Dino Safari to the Lost World" month and some scifi things.
First up, my small dinos, it would take one of these at least five bites to each an explorer. These cost me 20p UK money each in a toyshop in Devon:
(http://revford.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/temp/new-dinos-small.jpg)
Next we have the big one to two bites sized dinos, these were a more expensive 99p UK money each, pictured here with a Foundry Victorian Gent so you can see the scale of them:
(http://revford.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/temp/new-dinos-big.jpg)
Apologies for the blurry picture there but I had to hold the camera to take it, others are done with the camera on the table at mini height.
Finally for now, the really big herbivore, this one will have a Howdah on it's back with the seated ladies pictured in the back having a tea party.
(http://revford.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/temp/new-dinos-herb.jpg)
Scifi things now, first we have the wonderful new Space Customs officers from Heresy, these will be great for our Doctor Who games and all sorts of stuff:
(http://revford.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/temp/new-scifi-customs.jpg)
Next are the bulk of the models for my scifi gangsters, Weird Des and The Weirdos, these are The Slicks from East Riding Miniatures:
(http://revford.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/temp/new-scifi-weirdos-1.jpg)
(http://revford.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/temp/new-scifi-weirdos-2.jpg)
And finally another ERM model, this time a futuristic detective, he's much taller that I thought he would be so I'll have to call him Inspector Callahan:
(http://revford.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/temp/new-scifi-inspector.jpg)
I'll post up some painted pics in the proper sections once I get them done. :)
-
Those are the most sedate dinosaurs I've seen! Especially the ones in the top picture. "Blast it!!! I failed my cuddle roll" :lol:
The ERM minis are always good - they remind me of the guys from Dark City for some reason....that and the creepy floaty guys in the one Buffy episode.

Just got that fella from Cobalt via West Wind games too (and a handful of other great Cobalt stuff)
But, technically THIS is the last mini I received:

This was a long forgotten 'replacement' for a backorder that couldn't be filled....(damn Magnificent egos!)
Anyhow, Grant from Hasslefree...can't go wrong there!

Recently got a load of Ainsty/Old Crow trade goods for use with my Vietnam figures and to use as objectives in my Burma games. Only took a day to paint, based on 60mm circles.

No, it's part of the "Das Schwarze Auge" range. It's released from FanPro but obviously they were made where the Metal Magic figures were made (sculptor, style, base-size and -markings; everything similar).

This little bunch just arrived on my desk at work (hence photos from Artizan's website!) Ordering just three figures wasn't very sensible in postage-cost-efficiency terms, but I was limited by the hollow ringing noise my PayPal account was making! I also have piles of Pulp figures waiting to be painted and I'm hoping a little injection of new lead will give me the boost I need to get back to work on them!

p.s. I'm going to convert the grapple-gun to a smoke-grenade launcher. :wink:

Ohhh haven't posted quite a while, so what did I get in the meantime?
Our club has some kind of normandy campaign for Disposable Heroes in 1/72 going on, so
- 3 Shermans from Easymodel
- Halftrack + other bits from Academy
- IMEX Easy Company
- Battlefield accessoires from various manufacturers
- Revell paratroopers
-
Been getting a bunch of samurai from Black Hat, Museum, em4 and Old Glory UK. Still have to get some more, then I'll send them off to Fernando Enterprises to be painted. This'll be my first time using a painting service.
Also got some of Black Hat's Three Musketeers minis while I was at it. Some of them weren't quite as short as I'd been told, which was a pleasant surprise as I mostly have 28-30mm stuff in my swashbucklers collection anyway.

Hey I looking for them a long long time :cry:

The Terminators are EM-4 and are more fitting than the later Copplestone ones. The dogs are form Legions of Steel which I think you can still get form Amazon miniatures

hey, I also got em4 terminators! :D
a month ago me and my concubine were playing game using them vs police and I must say: annihilated each and every gf-robot! muahahahahaaa...!!! :mrgreen:
-
I have used them for Combat Zone I have 15 and they took on 50 copplestone future warriors, small arms are useless and protecting your heavy weapons was the key to knocking them out.
Surprisingly the humans triumphed but only just and with the aid of damaging 1 terminator who proceeded to take out 3 others :o

Greetings,
Are the HellDorado rules in proper english, or translated english? (Gods forbid!)
I guess it isn't English at all. Crying or Very sad
(Please tell me the opposite so I can go and order it too!)
Nope, rules, cards etc. are in french. AFAIK there is no english translation around (not yet anyway). Though there IS an english blog (http://helldoradogame.blogspot.com/) around as well as an american asmodee (http://www.asmodee-us.com/) website. So I think there will be a game available...sometime.
Wow! So I am not the only one that...
:mrgreen: No indeed you are not.
Soon the game will be translated into english, look here. (http://tiny-soldiers.com/index.php/topic,84.0.html)

I've been a bit slack at posting new goodies here, but this month I've gained a few boxes of em4 plastics, one each of the Mecha, Space Ships and Troopers and some Hasslefree adventurers.
Sadly the Hasslefree models and the troopers refused to be photographed in anything but blur-o-scope, but here are the Ships, a bargin at £2.50 for 12:
(http://revford.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/temp/ships-001.jpg)
Also the Mecha, again £2.50 but this time it's for 5, I'll move them to bigger, flatter bases but these provided, GW-ish ones, show the size a bit better. They look about right for using alongside 15mm 1:100 stuff:

Nice! Are the trenches suitable for 28mm? The Moduni page said that they were for 20mm scale.

Conflix do, do 28mm trenches but I think they are in smaller sections.

Just got a lot of stuff in:
- Artizan German feldpolizei and infantry, a pack of US greatcoats and some assorted Thrilling Tales figures.
- An order from Old GLory including that giant Ape-mecha from Superfigs, some Cossack infantry and artillery crews (renaissance), (really) dead pirates and two packs of superfigs (including a monkey engineer)
- That large Dust "Gunther" German walker. :D
- Ziterdes skeletal pirates: small end of 28mm (25mm?), so won't work with the Moonlight or Warlord ones, but lots of character and should be great with historical figures like old glory and Foundry.
- My Prince August order with the Vulkan battlesuits, some Mishima (to add to my Urban War triads) and some Chronopia barbarians

Received a bunch of Heroclix and Dreamblade from ebay, price ranging from 0.1€ to 2€ for the bigger ones. Some of them will be converted for pulp/Weird War II,others just looked cool. A couple samples:

TBH, the comics aren't very good, but the concept is cool enough and at least she isn't a bigbreasted bikini wearing nun as you see all too often in games/stories.

Yes, it is quite nice and really big, almost 50mm tall and he's not even standing upright. Would work well with the Graven Images ranges too.

He's called the "Gun Behemoth". And the scale would indeed make it very useable for 1999. 8)
I'd also love one of these octorilla's, but the pricetag is a bit steep:

Yup, was actually rather interested in that "W.N. Areala" stuff back in my more "comicky" days (ie, mid-to-late 1990s), but never found them to have that certain "long-term fascination". Probably too American for my taste.

As far as I know, this particular character only appeared in the one issue and later in a 4-issue spin-off "Crimson Nun" with rather crappy art. There's another similar 3-issue series "Warrior Nun Brigantia".

Very nice indeed, Prof, but I can't find them in Lurch's shop. Where are they?
Thanks,
-
Yes, I keep looking at these - but then I bought the OG pirate gun crews a year or two back (to supplement my Foundry Cutthroats), and whilst the ships' guns themselves are excellent little models, the crew figures are of distinctly variable quality. Some are quite neat, but some are really quite crude sculpts with fat misshapen limbs (unintentionally I fear!) and weird poses. I cleaned them up, I based them, I undercoated them, I started painting them... and then decided they were just too nondescript, and I couldn't be bothered to finish them.
That said, I do think this set of 'looters and victims' and 'fat island governers' may be the stand-out packs from the range, so I'll be interested to see how you get on with painting them, Professor.
Look forward to the results! Harr Harr. :wink:
-
Oh yes, I do like those overdressed fops!
They will be perfect victims of a little serious pillaging. I have a big bag of the OG pirates, mostly in basic sea-garb rather than the more fancy dress & I quite like them. They seem to fit in well with my Foundry lads, so I'll probably get some more next year, to use as RN crewmen.
Looking forward to seeing them painted :)
Cheers,
Ian

You're so spoiled. Danish game shops carry GW, GW, and GW. And then some Warmachine/Hordes. If you're lucky to live near Copenhagen (which I'm not), you may even find Flames of War. That's it. No wonder, alternative gaming is hard to get started 'round here...

There is a picture of the Old Glory buried treasure pack, painted in Sri Lanka, as the main picture on the "Pirate Wargames" Yahoo Group. It may be worth joining that Yahoo Group just to check out that picture and some other pictures in the photo section. That buried treasure pack has a lot of character.
This last spring I played in a pirate game featuring lots of the Old Glory cannibals from the pirate line. I was really impressed with how they looked painted up. They may be a bit crude, but they are cheap and a swarm of cannibals could be very useful for the type of adventure gaming that is popular with people on this forum, and not just for pirate scenarios either. One pack of the cannibals, one pack with the chief, one war canoe pack, and one pirate in the cookpot pack could make an adventurous scenario.
Basically, if I wasn't so broke from buying other minis, I'd be buying the Old Glory cannibals now! :cry:
-
The other day I received the three new pirate figures from Musketeer Miniatures. I got them prepped for painting & will try & get them painted as & when life lets me.
They really are superb figures :love:

Camel Corps really are a must for German South West, aren't they, Hammers?
Does anybody make them? Perhaps the Tiger sculptor has trouble doing camels...
-
I just painted some HLBSC Camel Corps. They are however out of production. Semi-good ridance, I must say: I wasn't too impressed with the sculpting. I know hat brims are difficult to cast but these had brims as thick as...um...very, very thick brims so their signature slouch hats are sitting very oddly on undersized kidney shaped heads. A pity, really. Camel Corps, even though they are huns, look so...dashing, don't they?
-
Brigade do quite nice German slouch hat troops in their East Africa range.
Head-swapping time, perhaps?

Too big, unfortunately. How does Tiger miniatures compare to Artizan, Brigade East Africa?

Not that familiar with Artizan, but here's a Brigade comparison shot:

Brigade chap is the one in the middle, flanked by two Tiger fellas. Pretty much the same size, but the Tiger ones slightly less bulky, I think.

HLBS pulls towards 25mm but claims 28. I suspect emplyees are embezzling the company for their lead to sell it to the Chinese.

Another month, another round of lead, here are the things I've picked up for this month.
First up we have local hero Brunel, in post apocalypse fashion from Ramshackle, I was surprised to find him cast in resin rather than lead:
(http://revford.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/temp/new-07-10-ikb.jpg)
As a surprise bonus he arrived with this lady tied to a rock in need of rescue, the resin is a funky colour so I've put a quick wash of black paint over her so I could take a photo:
(http://revford.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/temp/new-07-10-trapped.jpg)
Lastly we have the bank robbers/terrorists that are about to be caught up in a zombie attack, played here by TAG Militia with Shotguns and Russian Mafia with AKS. In a month of surprises I see now that these are mostly the same models with weapon swaps, ah well, so nice I bought them twice. :)

Almost forgot, I also picked up a copy of a D&D board game called Dragon Quest in a charity shop because it included some old Ral Partha minis. Here are the first three who I think are a Rogue, a Wizard and a Fighter.

Thanks Poly for showing the photo comparison of the askaris from the relevant companies.
As an addition if you get a revolving cannon either from The London War room or from Old Glory and add a mixture of crew askaris/European (from Tiger and/or Brigade) it would look very nice and be a welcome addition to your East Africa games.

Great pic! Never seen that pic before. Never seen one with a shield on, either.
I actually have some ships' rotating cannons on naval mounts. Does any figure manufacturer make one like that, on an artillery carriage and/or with a shield? Or is a conversion job required?
Edit: Just checked out your Turkish gun pic. Cool, looks like just the ticket. Thanks, again.

Nice catch of 1/48 planes there!!!
Just received my order of 28mm German troops from Great Escape games .
They are Bolt Action miniatures figures and I'm REALLY impressed ( and I'm pretty hard to please!!!)
They were dispatched really quickly ( I ordered them Friday night) and would recommend them!
BTW: Great Escape have a really cool set of Skirmish rules "Rules of Engagement" which deals with conflict a Platoon level.

Thats, thats, uh, a whole lotta vehicles. We need pictures!

3 BMD
3 BTR60 (ptd)
3 BTR 70 (ptd)
3 BTR 80
4 GAZ 66 TRUCKS

I currently have around 80 Soviet Motor rifles painted and a platoon of VDV & a Platoon of DRA.
My Muj are nearly done not much in armour, only 1 BMP1 AND 4 tECHNICALS
BUT HEAVY ON INFANTRY.
I am planning hopefully to do a demo with an attack on the convoy in the future but still much to paint.

A miniature from the Evil Company; a 54mm troll which was a limited release together with a dwarf slayer in 2004. I found him on ebay for a reasonable price, postage was higher!
On the foto he is accompanied with a regular stonetroll and a dwarf, as you can see he is really big! I am gonna use him as a giant in my O&G army.
(http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/1770/troll1tl9.jpg)
I will repaint him as he isn't finished yet and all the joints came loose during his travel across the North Sea. He will probably lose his hair as it is made from green stuff.

Got the second lot of Geezers through at the weekend and today so great corners from Pardulan. Both very fast service and great products :mrgreen:

Not a miniature in the true sense of the word, but it is a very nice (and detailed) addition to my soon-to-be-realized Lost Worlds project.

The Marine is shown for scale purposes, he is not fighting the T-Rex ;)

That's a maxiture, if anything. Nice colours, too.
-

Because he would lose.
That's about 20% larger than the biggest known Tyrannosaurus specimen, and about right for pulp. But what's that? There were non-Coelurosaurid Therapods about this size? And they were Carnosaurids? How fascinating! Please tell me more about them!
Someone please quote the above text

Someone please tell me to shut up about dinosaurs.

Indeed, shut up, or it´ll eat you. Tyrannosaurs, especially the tyrannosaurus pulpinensis variety, are notoriously touchy on that whole size issue.
Lovely figure, nonetheless. I´m happy with my NHMC Tyrannosaur, but that one is just frickin´ awesome.

Not only size, the colour is important

:lol:
Anyway, I thought the size was about right. Are you sure it's 20% larger than it's supposed to be?
A T-Rex used to be about 7 meters tall. 28mm = 1:64. 700/64 = almost 11 cm. The model is 16 cms tall....err Pete, you're right.
Long live the tyrannosaurus pulpinensis!
Btw, the model is from Papo Toys (http://www.healthstones.com/dinosaurstore/papo_dinosaur_toys/papo_dinosaur_toys.html).
EDIT: That was actually my train of thought that I was typing :S

@Jase: Are you going to show all the new goodies you'll be buying at Crisis this weekend as well ?? :wink:

IIRC Papo is 1/40, as are the larger Schleich ones.

He's awesome, big enough to eat two, maybe three adventurers in a single mouthful. :)

I've got that one and the very cool Steg from Papo.
He is huge but I'm using him as a yet unknown species of Giganotosaurus.

Ahem...
Got 6 unsaddled horses, two dromedaries and two Schäferhunde ( :mrgreen: ) from Ebob. Very, VERY nice sculpts!!
Also 6 saddled horses and a gallows from Knuckleduster.
And yesterday I got more than 800 cake decoration trees (half of them (pines and ordinary trees) ordered for a gaming pal, lots of palm trees for me :wink: ) from Pfeil & Holding.
And I almost forgot: A couple of weeks ago I found two nice pieces of aquarium deco; an Egyptian piece and a dino skeleton - pictures to follow when I get time off assembling Whitewash City, preparing minis and painting Artizan Wild West guys for a trial run of Gutshot...
-
Those ebob dogs are popular at the moment, I've just received two myself, as well as the ebob Paintball players.
Also German mortar and machine gun teams from Bolt Action, along with my own copy of Nuts! from THW.
-
Schäferhunde is a must Have !!! :wink:
-
Schäferhunde? What's that word? Is it what we used to call in English a German Shepherd?
Since the Great War they are called Alsatians (even though I don't think they come from Alsace). A propaganda thing, I think, not wanting to have dogs with "German" in the name.
-
Schäfer = shepherd
Hunde = dogs
-
Thanks, Poliorketes. I had figured out the literal translation but wasn't sure what it meant. In English we don't have a phrase "Shepherd Dog."
We say "Sheep Dog", but that can be many different kinds of dog, and not the same as what we call a "German Shepherd." A German Shepherd or Alsatian is the kind of dog prison camp guards always have in war movies. Is that a Schäferhund?
-
Yes, German Sheperd = Schäferhund. A sheep dog is also called Schäferhund in German but can be of any race.
-
Funny, I just realized we don't have a word for sheepdog in Maltese...and that this must be the most inconsequential thing I've ever written in a forum.
-

Do you have sheep on Malta? If not, that might be an explanation...
More goats than sheep - but there are a few (individual sheep, not flocks).
The national dog (are we the only ones to have one of those?) is the Kelb tal-Fenek - the translation would be a rabbit (not rabid!) dog....
to make matters worse, this breed is called a Pharaoh hound in English, which puts Egypt into the picture; and the Maltese Dog (another breed) is not The Maltese Dog. And you could get Malta Dog, which is a rather messy compaint of the stomach and connected innards.
Oh dear, what a complicated nation we are.
Back to the point - certainly not my latest purchase, but the ones I've rediscovered (in the pile of things to do) last: two small 15mm armies for 1500 Ottoman Turks and Venetians, by Venexia - stunning little models.
-
Pharaoh Hound? Malta is always getting muddled up with other places.
I know a man, a fellow fan of my football team. I always knew him as "John the Turk." Then after putting up with being called this for years, one day he suddenly announced that he was actually Maltese.
So he suddenly became "Maltese John." I don't know why he let himself be called a Turk for all that time!
I must admit I have never heard of a Pharaoh Hound, until today. I think they call them that because they look like the dogs on Egyptian inscriptions and such.
-
There you go, Plynkes:
http://www.kelb-tal-fenek.de/portraits.htm
The profile is exactly what you'd imagine a hieroglyphic hound to look like.
And of all things, it's a German website....
-
Yeah, straight off the wall of an Egyptian temple.
In other news: Just got my Unfeasibly Tuaregs. Very nice. They are slimmer and of lighter build than many 28mm figs these days. More realistically proportioned than much of what we're used to.
I suspect this may prove a problem for folks who are obsessive about having all their figures exactly matching, but it doesn't worry me in the slightest.
-
Just got my first batch of figures for the Smugglers games - Front Rank C18th civilians, two wagons to load with contraband.
-
I just got a package today with:
8 Dungeon Decor Pack Mules by Mega Miniatures

New stuff! I just got my Hasslefree order at work. :D.
Harby (http://www.hasslefreeminiatures.co.uk/pack.php?pack=980)

Baker (http://www.hasslefreeminiatures.co.uk/pack.php?pack=985)
Alyx (http://www.hasslefreeminiatures.co.uk/pack.php?pack=592)
Harby is huge compared to most other HF humans. He is a head taller. I can't wait to put him together with the hellboy fist and gun. I am not sure which head I will use though.
I also got some dreamblade and horrorclix singles today as well from an ebay buy that I am going to rebased, repaint, modify, etc.
-
Just got a bag of Black Tree WW2 GIs for a Hellboy game I'm planning, with their Mark Clark figure to lead them.
General Clark is a superb figure. And damn is he tall!

A big parcel arrived today from the US. It is a Brigade of Calpe Miniatures 5 24 figure battalions of Prussians and 12 Hussars.
A long and twisted tale behind these where one of our club members decided to sell off his British army, only he and one other have allies to fight agaiunst 5 French gamers, myself included.
So with the imminent loss of the only full enemy army we decided to buy a Brigade of Prussians each so we can field an army, this is becuase the other allied player has Prussians and Russians but is slow paiinting.
Luckily that night after the dicsussion in the pub I saw said Brigade on e-bay, won it at 66% of retail cost and Bobs your uncle.
Then last Friday (club night) I find the Russian player has bought siad army (10 battalions, guns light infantry and horse) for £250 :cry: and they are beautifully painted worth at least £400 if the prices on e-bay are anything to go by. So some good news and bad.
Must admit the Prussians are very nice figures.
Then to cap it all I got caught by Customs (Malamute there is your first smuggler scenario - geting the minis past customs) and had to fork out another £28 with £8 being costs form DHL - the cheeky gits :x

When I was at Warfare yesterday, I picked up a pack of TAG Renaissance German cavalry with pistols.
TAG's fast growing Renaissance range is sculpted by Nick Collier, and I was hoping to supplement my Bicorne and Renegade reivers / ECW collections from the same sculptor.
For TAG, Nick is producing - as you can see - yet more characterful figures from this era.
(http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x69/pantomaniac/new1.jpg)
Interestingly, for TAG, Nick has been working to a brief to deliberately downsize from the 'heroic scale' 28mm figures he produced for the extensive Bicorne and Renegade ECW ranges.
I wanted to make sure that his new figures for TAG would match in size as well as style. Especially as they are promising an extensive new ECW range as well!
As you can see below (compared with figures from Bicorne and Renegade respectively) Nick has indeed made the men slightly smaller (basically by shortening their boots, as far as I can tell!) But the horses, which are beautiful sculpts, are about the same size - or even slightly bigger - so the overall effect is much the same. I don't think compatability is going to be a problem. Which is nice. :wink:
(http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x69/pantomaniac/new2.jpg)
There is however, a noticeable amount more flash on the TAG figures, which is a bit annoying.

Seems I forgot to list the stuff I got at Crisis:
- The freebie WW2 figure "Popski" from Poski's Raiders
- BAM german snipers, kubelcrew, Pak 40 anti tank gun, LEFH 18/40 gun, some crew figures, Captured 222 Armoured Car and all of the Fallschirmjager packs.
- Chieftain Sd.Kfz 233 Stummel, with 2 crew
- Foundry Fallschirmjager drop team, some SYW prussians, some late 18th century civilians
- TAG Panzergrenadier MG42 teams, Panzergrenadiers with Panzerknackers and Panzershrek teams. Also a pack of russian infantry
- Perry Miniatures ninja (for pulp ww2), arab civilians, and 2 packs of ECW (officers and wounded) for Musketeers games
- a few packs of Musketeer Miniatures arab figures.
- a GW dark elf corsair unit I misread the pricetag on... :(
Spent way too much money of course, but got some good deals, especially from Dave Thomas and Bolt Action.
-
Got 5 hoverbots, 5 robot legionaires. and 1 warbot from Hydra Miniatures friday.
Also from HM Terror of the Metal Menace, and an extra .45A rulebook - and Fantastic Worlds with that free Buster Gordy mini.
Seems that the Hydra Retro Raygun humans are a bit on the large side...

Recently got a fairly sizable order from Blacktree. Some Doctor Who figs to plug the holes in my collection - the 4th Doctor in Victorian Dress, the 7th and 8th Doctors, Mr. Sinn, Scaroth the Jagaroth etc etc. Also picked up some of their very excellent Victorian British figures from their Zulu range. The figures are of good quality and the price was right!

-

Signed. However, all in all, the figure has a certain "Grace Jones" flair about it, and THAT certainly is an advantage when it comes to representing African Warrior Princess/Queen Amazons. :lol:
-
Yes, Reaper is scale wise a bit of all over the place. I agree with Chris, in this case I think it will work to your advantage, Proff.
-
Oficially they claim their scale has remained consistent over the years and that their latest Warlord minis are no bigger than their earliest Dark Heaven minis. This is surprising since I have some of their older figures that are no bigger than Gripping Beast historicals, while I have some Warlord pirate skeletons that are almost 1/48th scale figures... :?

(http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb225/emu2020/SuperScienceFigs1.jpg)
This is a trio of figs from Black Tree Design;s Dr. Who range. I am not sue exactly which figs they are off hand but the get in thecenter with the camera-looking thing is one of the various incarnations of the Doctor with some sort of anti-Dalk device.
I plan on using the two outside gents as various scientist/inventor types and the gy in the center as an invention-using character who is not an inventor himself.
-
Yes, that's Sylvester McCoy's Doctor with his 'Dalek-Jammer.'

Newver heard of them White Knight, will you keep them as a collectors item or paint them?
-
I will paint them. Got some liquitex gesso the other day as I hear it's good to undercoat plastic figures.
-
Good grief, that brings some old memories back - Atlantic was an Italian company - I had a small pile of their soldiers and tanks way back; and Goldrake and Captain Harlock the very first anime series shown on Italian national TV, RAI. Hence the connection between the Italian model maker and these particular series, which were both very popular.
-
Woo-Hoo for both! I am waiting for a Lledo ambulance to arrive :)
-
@White Knight - that is a nice collection of cars! What is the pink/blue one?
-
@White Knight - that is a nice collection of cars! What is the pink/blue one?
The pink/blue one is the 1939 Chevrolet Panel Van. It is the best one of the lot for WW2 era, but since I figure cars were a rather rare and expensive commodity at the time, I imagine it wouldn't be too odd to see cars as old as the '20's.
I posted a link to the ebay seller in the Workbench forum onthe 1/50 cars thread.

Karl - that's quite interesting, because I have a sellthatstuffboy (PMC Games) half-timbered inn, which I acquired when they were still flogging round the show circuit trading as TSS - and it ain't the same inn as that one!!!

They are certainly prolific...

The:

are actually also from Westwind. Berlin or Bust line.
Here they are:

Lowtardog, sounds like we will be playing a game in the near future using your figures and scenery after all. You will probably be finished before me at this rate :)
I doubt it Nick I havent painted one figure yet :o

Dont start :wink: I tried to paint a 25 figure Romano British unit for WAB Age of art in one go, ended up taking 2 weeks and was a real chore. I have wuite a few skirmish periods and wnat to finish them off as well as 4 new periods (birthday/Christmas and ebay loot or proceeds from sales ) not to mention around a dozen others, I am a real wargames butterfly. So up until Christmas Zombies and the last of my survivors are to be the order of the day and I still have to finish painting the 15+ Bachmann buidings I picked up in 2005/2006 and finish off. I need a project manager like Matakishi to help me out :D
-
LOWTARDOG,
That resin repainted building you bought is it from a company or is it an individual? It's a beauty, I'd like to see if I can grab some. If it is a company do they have a stateside distributer? US Dollar is tanking and any relief could help.

Well It seems to be an individual but as captain Blood says they are or he was PMC/TSS terrain and the only outlet is through e-bay from what I can see.
I must have over 15 of his buildings now having collected since 2006 so they do release and produce them on a large scale and this was the 4 time I had bid on one of the Inns.

How are the Hummers for size compared to 28 mm 'heroic' minis?
-
Got this lot just the other day
(http://img170.imageshack.us/img170/858/forceunleashedcomsm7.jpg)
Especially the Wookies and the insectoid (Verpine Tech) will appear in Fantastic Worlds games as... well something else :lol:
-
The Britannia figures are big, 28mm to the eye but mostly crouching a bit so they'd be close to 30mm if they stood straight, 32mm to top of head and chunky too. This means they're the same size as many other ranges, particularly sci-fi and fantasy ones.
The Hummers are spot on for height but the length and breadth have been shrunk a bit to make them more usable on the wargames table. Britannia often does this with their vehicles.
Personally I like them a lot but they probably won't fit with other ranges. The technicals mix nicely with diecast trucks though as can be seen from Patrick Sexton's work here:
(http://www.displacedminiatures.com/images/212200511190859Image041.jpg.600.-1..9.jpg)

A bit 'cartooney' like the 28 mm heroics.. Me lotta likes. Must go on shopping list for contemporary/near future action :)

That downed Blackhawk looks very nice. Must get down to assembling mine (not downed, mind you, and it´s a Pave Hawk, but... ah what the hell).
-
Matakishi, do you have a scale on that chopper ie is it 1/48ish or smaller, like 1/56-60 (fuselage about 10")?
I remember seeing that before but i forgot where, thanks for showing it:)
-
It measures 260mm nose-to-tail. No idea what scale that makes it as I don't know what size they're meant to be. It seems very large on the table though, quite a presence.
My buildings are only 150mm wide, the large sections like the apartment complex are 300mm long so once it's based the helicopter will be as big as one of them :D
-
great, my new ray blackhawk (1/60) measures ~25 cm nose to tail:)

Good stuff!
Got any tips on sellers ? 8)

Not really - the sets from Ebay appeared when searching for 'Star Wars common set' - quite a lot of the sellers have several of the same set.
The boosters, and the AoE are from the nearest game shop (and they still stock the AT-AT :love: )

I've won this 1/50 Austin Putilov by ESPEWE on ebay, today it arrived:
(http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t255/shufti/AustinPutilov1.jpg)
Qualitywise it is very close to the older MoY-cars of the late 1960s. The overal detail is nicely done. The paintjob is a little bit grainy though.

This one is scratchbuilt really; the wife was a tremendous help putting him together, and with little heed to her personal comfort.
(http://www.pederochcatharina.tsome.com/Femman/Femman_liten_bild.jpg)
He is seen here wearing his Imperial Tiara on his head, the Sacred Underwear of Landstinget, Size 60.
And let it hereby be known that this baby boy shall henceforth throughout the aether be known as "Fiver, Son of hammershield".
A fuller list of his titulature includes, among many others: "Heir Appearant of the House of hammershield, Dauphin de la Maison Marteau-Bouclier, Earl of Mamary Vale, The Conjurer of the Protoplasmic Black Turd of Shoggoth, Hamchutooktu (Roaring-Like-Buffalo-In-Rut), El Gritadór, Der Fumfmeister, Diperboy, Conan the Bane to His Parents Sleep" and last but most prominenty, "King of the World and Master of the Universe As His Father and Mother Knows It"
My little boy! :)

CONGRATULATIONS :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Hammershield, welcome to the world of fatherhood :)
He is a bonny little lad, obviously takes after his mother :wink:

Oh, well done Mr. and Mrs. Hammershield! Congratulations and many good wishes to you both.

Wow! What scale is he? About 400mm? Is that 1/6th or what? :wink:
Congratulations!
(My eldest is now almost 1:1 scale - and he's only 13!)
-
Wow! What scale is he? About 400mm? Is that 1/6th or what?
Well, that depends on the beholder. In a strict metric sense he is 520mm and growing. When annoyed with the Royal Change of Diapers his personality will fill a hospital floor. To his father, at the moment, the boy is one gazilion/1 an thus fills the entire world.
-
Congratulations and the best wishes to your wife, your son and to you, of course!
From now on, every day is going to be a little adventure for your boy. And for you parents, too. I know exactly how you feel. I assume you were with your wife during the birth?

The Mailman was fast: Got several Hasslefrees yesterday.
- Harby
- Eve
- 2 Police Officers
- the hooded rowdy
- Girl with pistol
- Kaylee 2

Here in Sweden you are considered quite a rum fellow if you don't. Not that I, nore anyone I know, would miss it for their lives. This, however, has changed from attitudes which were quite different just a generation or so back.
Thanks BTW. I am sure I will return to the Adventures of Fiver, son of hammershield, in my post in the future, but for now I will lay it to rest. I *am*, despite apparences, I suppose, aware that breeding is both the most miraculous and commonplace thing at the same time.
-
The Mailman was fast: Got several Hasslefrees yesterday.
I did the Not-Hellboy Harby and he was a treat to paint. I think I will order me a Not-Sin City Harby to.
-
Speaking of Hasslefree, my latest Miniature received is A chocolate Father Christmas!*
That was jolly nice of them. A chocolate coin, too. I'm pleased as the actual proper figures they came free with were for a Christmas gift, and so have happily arrived in time. They are for my mate Chronoglide. He likes the Hasslefree sculpts, but refuses to buy them as he says they are too expensive. So I get to both please and annoy him with a single gift. What could be better?
*This jolly Coca-Cola advertising creation is, I believe, referred to as Satan in other countries. Something like that, anyway.
-
So I get to both please and annoy him with a single gift.
That is, as I understand it, what Christmas is all about.

He bought me a Union Jack thong last year. Some measure of revenge, however small, is called for.
He is also getting an official Lily Allen calendar. He detests Lily Allen. That is for all the Marilyn Manson calendars he has given me over the years.

Ah! The Spirit of Giving! I shed a tear.

I received some mail by Eureka today:
An Armoured Pennyfarthing (priceless: they've even included a wind-up key for it!).
A Hardlove Light Steam Charger (it is in for some serious conversion, though...).
I also picked up some Lledo oldtimers at ebay, one of them a 1907 Rolls Royce which I plan to convert into this one:

They are not cheap, but expensive? I don't think so, but my benchmark is GW. Anyway, I got mine in a 443-deal.

I took advantage of the Hasslefree offer 443 and they arrived yesterday.
Lovely figures and what a great company, the sale pitch is fantastic and friendly.
I got Riot cop Nril, Officer Nick, Harby and Madge. The little gizzits were great two, aside from the chocolate :P I got some nice heads, weapons and some cool transfers to boot
Highly recommended, A discount card thrown in as well :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
Well chuffed
-
Ha! Me too! I ordered about 25 quids worth of figures [including the Delectable Dionne :love: ] and was so impressed,
I ordered another 20 quid's worth of Grymn, which arrived yesterday :D
I also got several figures from Heresy [including a Dr Hugh for my son] & the Serenity-alikes which are also fantastic!
Big thumbs-up to both companies for excellent figures & top-notch service :)

These will form the initial response unit for my Zombi games led by the Hasslefree Riot cop and backed up by Foudnry Swat teams :mrgreen:

Romana from Citadel's Doctor Who range, one of the hardest Who minis that I've had to track down. Still looking for a Tom Baker 4th Doctor (Citadel, not Harlequin) Looking forward to painting her up. She'd work well in a VSF game as well.

Nice one, Chairface - that's Romana I nor II, am I right?

Latest mini for me was this tub of little Dinosaurs:

48 little beasties for £6. :)
Some are clearly too small, but most are spot on as little packs of beasties.
-
'Build your collection with these 48 mini dinosaurs.
Age Range: 3 - 8 years'
They should fit the mental state of most of us, then :lol:
And the little big ones can be used for 6 mm/1:300 DBM :wink:

Just finished unpacking a DC-6 for my African airport. Sorry, 20mm.....though it would be nice to have one in 28mm.....and the table to fit it on! (The 20mm fits on a 50x50 cm square, imagine the space a 28mm one needs....)

I think I finally 'caught the bus' - and I found it just now at a souvenir shop at Rabat. It's a Bedford OB coach, modified to what is here called a Malta Bus. In local colours, although they never had 'Malta Bus' written on them!
Anyway, not good enough for a car collector, but grand for converting. Mine has a small dent on the roof, and a couple of admittedly small scratches to the paint. The size isn't too bad (the 28mm gent from Foundry seen standing next to it is standing on a base); and for 4.65Euros it's not half bad. They come in this livery besides white and pale blue, a dull green and white, and red and white - not sure if they have the grey, red and white used in Gozo as well.
Model by Alexsandro, email provided but no website.

6 em4 miniatures deep ones, 10 Copplestone Inuits from eBay.

Baccus' figures are tiny gems. The Prussian general from the FPW line has a monocle! The Indians from the AWI line have earrings! They paint up beautifully, and look nifty en masse.
I like Baccus.

Thanks to Jens the Pardulon fellow, work has resumed at the Harland and Plynkes shipyard. My boiler came today, so the little 28mm shipyard workers are back at it. Reckon it'll be a while before my bulkhead doors come from Americky, though.
Also, realising that I didn't in fact have enough early war Germans for our campaign, I bought some of the new Great War Miniatures ones for a change. Lots of flash and excess shit, plus the metal is pretty bendy with rifles and bayonets all over the place. But the sculpts are very nice. Particularly like the officer with Broomhandle Mauser, and a couple of NCOs in what we call "the command pose." That is to say, waving one arm about, usually communicating either 'hurry up' or 'get back' to his men. I find this pose very useful for keeping easy at-a-glance track of just who in the unit is the NCO. None of the Renegade Germans come in this pose, so I'm pretty happy about that.
Looking forward to getting them painted up.

With the new Lost Worlds book coming soon, I needed some Saurians (dinosaur men) for my Cold Wars game.
Luckily, a friend was getting rid of his alternative-to-GW Lizardman army.
Here's the whole army:

I'm not keeping all of them, some will go on the flea market table at Cold Wars on Saturday morning. But here is a close shot of some that I will be keeping. Their bases still need to be finished but that I can have done in time.

Are those cards for .45 adventures I see in the background of the first picture? :?:
-
Those are our Encounter Cards. They have the Gargoyle on the front and on the back it's blank except for Encounter Card written at the top. We use them as inserts in all of our clamshells for the miniatures.
I should probably package them up in sets of 10 for people who are interested.

Mmmm... Nice. I have all the Baluchis and Zanzibaris, and they are (IMHO) amongst Mr Copplestone's finest work. Villainous as they come, and a joy to paint. And they nearly all double up very well for service on the North West Frontier as well... Enjoy! :wink:

Robots crush puny humans! :)
The UK supplier I usually go to had trouble getting hold of them for a while, I'd been waiting on the order since the early November.

Off Ebay: 10 Warhammer Dwarf Longbeards, including command. I got these for the very strong fantasy "viking" aspect.
They'll join my Jotunheim "Frost Giants" army, which is mostly comprised of Foundry and other vikings and some selected fantasy figures (including icetrolls, valkyries, werebears, warmammoths, norse dwarves, etc...) and the occasional actual giant. Dwarves and men for a giant army, you'll wonder. To quote Bergelmir in the Lucifer comic: "It's just a word". :lol:

I get me Wings of War Delux box , Tamiya Dinos (realy a must have for 28mm !!!)
and FOW flame makers (good for pictures of burning cars )

I picked up a bunch of Reaper Stuff for Pulp games this weekend.
The Hound of Jungement. He just looks like a multi tasker.
http://www.reapermini.com/gallery/crusadersu/14215_G
The Giant Eagle. Another great multi tasking mini.
http://www.reapermini.com/gallery/elvesu/14086_G
Kazala the Efreet
http://www.reapermini.com/gallery/2400s/2436_G
Jean Paul Duchamps

Malapango Savages. You can never have enough savages.

Jungle Girl with Sabretooth Cat. No jungle should be without one.
http://www.reapermini.com/gallery/album30/3253_G_004
Egyptian Prientess. Eventually my pulp adventure will get the Egypt. They all do.
http://www.reapermini.com/gallery/2500s/2594_G
Iron Golem. He looks a lot more like a Pulp robot than a fantasy Golem.
http://www.reapermini.com/gallery/2700s/2729_G_001
Alter of Evil with Victim. No cult christmass party should be without one.

Not a bad set you have ordered there. I 've got about half of them. The werewolf looks really good except for the fact that his upper torso is twisted from his lower in what looks like a horribly painful way. I fixed mine by cutting him in two just above the hips and reatttached him with a strighter spine. It was easy.

My order from the Westwind sale came! Awesome timing btw! Top notch!
Vampire Wars London Detectives and London Bobbies, and for a little bit of Weird WW2 action, some German gas mask heads! Love them all!

Great little collection, there! Dang that Post Danmark (Danish post company) has just DOUBLED their fee for pulling stuff from outside the EU through customs (from about €10 to now about €20). Must find European sources for all that overseas stuff :twisted:
-
Got a weighty load of lead today from RAFM Canada:
-a CoC Moonbeast
-3 CoC ghouls
-an arabian visir palaquin
- cultist conjuring a wraith
-Miskatonic Amazonian expedition
-Cabala cherubim
- zombies
... and finally three Elvis impersonators with guns "TCOB"
-
Glad your RAFM package finally arrived.
I thought we were never going to hear the end of it, otherwise! :)
-
Well, you know, you don't want to come between me and miniatures that are rightfully mine.
:)
-
Ohh, lovely new Hasslefree arrived yesterday!
2x Harby so I can build him both ways, fat zombie hunting Elvis "Bubba" which is so cool it hurts, General Minimus the Halfling, and a demon child so I can try to convert him into a Li'l Hellboy like the example on here.
Only I can't sculpt for dog toffee. :cry: Hammers, any tips on how you sculpted the Tiny Hand of Doom? Since I'll be stealing your idea, I may as well be cheeky with it. :D

I just got these for under £8.00 each (inc P&P) off ebay, die cast 1/48 kits
(http://www.matakishi.com/Bi%20Planes%20kits%20600.jpg)
I have no immediate use for biplanes but, well, how could I resist? :lol:
-
That looks like the same kit I got. The green one at the top. I think it cost me £4 in (of all places) Debenhams' sale.
It's nice but I found it just slightly too big for 28mm. :cry: I tried it next to an Artizan fig, and he can barely see over the wing.
That said, I know nothing about biplanes, so maybe they were pretty big. :lol:
-
looks fantastic matakishi, i dont think i could have resisted them either if i had been on your side of the North Sea

Just won this guy on ebay, along with a few other minis, for 70p. Any idea of what he is?

Have some back-logs to post:
From Black Cat:
5 resin 'jungle bases' to use as objective/encounter markers
100 metal skulls for wound markes and generic deco :wink:
And a freebee: A Mermaid with a 'diorama-base'. Living on the Birth island of Hans Christian Andersen, I was delighted by this one :)
-
Ooops, more back-logs:
8 Star Wars Minis Acklays to use in Bugz! (for a total of 9, and having ordered 3 more)
1 Star Wars Mini X-1 Viper Droid (have two of those now - excellent for an Evil Mastermind to tinker with :twisted: )
1 Complete Rebel Storm Uncommon set
For Warzone:
Bauhaus Mounted Hussars Captain
Bauhaus Mounted Hussars x3

And just in case anyone fancies one or ten they are still on sale until after the weekend :wink: go on you know you want to :lol:

Well I was so inspired by Grimm's lost world skinks that I decided to order a box of them myself. Those came in today along with 150 regular round bases.

I'm working at figuring out my new digicqam, yet. Can't get the 'macro' setting to work right :?
-
The pack of 4 Reaper cavepeople, plus the Reaper caveman dragging his wife by the hair!
I went for these because they looked to scale in pretty well with the Copplestone cave people - and they do, as you can see, from the two Copplestone sculpts on the right.
The Reaper faces are a bit more Neanderthal, and the Copplestones are defintiely a bit more 'erectus' - but the overall physicality and quality of detail, anatomy and poses is very similar... and very good.
The cave clan are finally nearing the top of the lead mountain...
Definitely on this Spring's 'to do' list... :wink:
(http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x69/pantomaniac/cavepeople.jpg)
-
You forgot to mention that Reaper chests are not as perky as Copllestonechests. :-)
-
Yes, a bit more 'National Geographic', aren't they? Don't see sculptors going for that look too often. Perky is in vogue, sometimes to extent of adding anachronistic silicone implants.
-
I think the Reaper ones are Neanderthals, while the Copplestone ones are Cro Magnon (from the facial appearance). :roll:
-
You forgot to mention that Reaper chests are not as perky as Copllestonechests. :-)
Oh you Swedes... :wink:
The one being dragged along the floor is decidedly perky - inexplicably.
The old hag is obviously not so perky.
Then again, she must be at least 29 - positively geriatric in prehistory. :lol:

The thing with TAG is that they are very variable, because they use different sculptors for each range. Some are very good indeed, some are a bit less inspiring. Those WWII Germans do look excellent though. I have some TAG Aztecs (by Mark Sims I think) and they are okay but a bit small, a bit stocky and a bit static. Just can't get the enthusiasm to paint them. I've started them twice now, and thye just bore me.
But their new Rennaissance stuff by Nick Collier is really excellent (although not quite as painstaking as his earlier Bicorne and Renegade ECW ranges, methinks), and one thing you have to say for TAG is that whatever they do, the ranges they make are huge and exhaustive. So yes, definitely worth a look.

I would second Capatin on the Aztecs they seem a bit static in poses, those Warriors are their bext, infact the Commoners are what I have form them in the main. I would be tempted to swap out the shields as they are too small and too thick.
The best Aztecs are IMHO opinion Eureka but you have to watch one or two of their poses as they can be flat like base releifs from carvings. Outpost figures have the biggest range and though a bit smaller have some lovely vignettes and Captains with fantaastic back banners. Foundry are very nice but the range was never finished., the TAG ones are far too small and very week with a tendancy to break off.
I tend to mix and atch, shields and weapons, back banners etc. Outpost is the place to get your weapons from they have quite a range of Spears swords and shields also clubs and separate back banners.
Have a butchers at our game form last year and you will spot the mix and match approach
http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/TheFeatheredSerpentProject
We are working with Jeff from Outpost to bring out a new range of Meso americans which will spark the imagination, they will be released at Salute and are Foundry compatible :mrgreen: Not Aztecs but something close :wink:

Even came back with some cash left! :o :lol:

Bit of an oddity, this: a company named 'COG' produces dinosaur toys and stuff for kids. This is a 'Dino Exhibit' skeleton of a Stegoceras. Not too shabby: the hands, feet, skull and jaw are moveable. All it needs is some removal of mould lines and hiding a joint or too. Not anatomically perfect, especially looking at the rib cage from below, but good enough for undeadly adventures. Zombies - ptchah, make mine a dinoskelly! :)
For some reason the image link is not working, so a url will have to do - sorry all. :(

I'm busily building a sloop on he templates provided in LotHS (yes, the guy with the most horrible modelling skills, ever, has made his first purchase (ever) of balsa wood) - and while I'm working on a campaign-setting for using Pirates of the Spanish Main ships for grand tactical maneuvering between LotOW/UtBF I could really use some swashbuckling rules for meso-american and carribean natives (I do not know if there's some in the UtBF, as I, :oops: haven't purchased it yet, but...).

Right, Photobuckety is up and running again, so let's try to take a gander at Stegoceras with our Foundry stunt-Malaysian pirate for size:

Bit of an oddity, this: a company named 'COG' produces dinosaur toys and stuff for kids. This is a 'Dino Exhibit' skeleton of a Stegoceras. Not too shabby: the hands, feet, skull and jaw are moveable. All it needs is some removal of mould lines and hiding a joint or too. Not anatomically perfect, especially looking at the rib cage from below, but good enough for undeadly adventures. Zombies - ptchah, make mine a dinoskelly! :)
For some reason the image link is not working, so a url will have to do - sorry all. :(

Ummm, nope - I tried to look mine up but cannot find them. The brand name is COG, they're made in China, and they come packed in a rectangular perspex box which doubles as a display. Thet cost around 7 Euros each, are posable to some extent, and that chap shown is out of the pox - I still have to clean him up for the few mould lines and cover the jawbone joints, and drybrush a bit. Others in the range include the more obvious triceratops, stegadon and T-Rex. I chose this guy as he's a bit less frequently encountered. Plans for him? Well, scenery in Pulp (breaking into a museum to steal the mask of someone or other type scenario), scenery in prehistoric stuff, scenery in dino-hunting, and guest appearances in undead-type games :) A Night in the Museum, anyone? :)
-
After several months of buying nothing I received a lot of new toys :o
OG cannibals
Pegasus palms, animals, sandbags, walls and more
-
Yesterday was a good day:
Ral Partha raptors and resin crates
Heresy giant slugs, halflings and the new Angel, which is so good I doubt I'll be brave enough to start it. :o

I bought the tricep just yesterday. I have no specific plans for it, but it was cheap, of the right size and decent quality. In sort, a good to have thing.

Theres a co-incidence I was sent a half dozen of these dino skeletons by my mate. I think a petrified forset may be in order :D

Hammershield and Lowtardog, do you mean the COG ones or the ones in my link? If COG where did you get them from? :?:
-
Hammershield and Lowtardog, do you mean the COG ones or the ones in my link? If COG where did you get them from? :?:
The COG. They seem to be sold as pedagogical toys to parents with a bit conceited perception of their toddlers. ;-)
So, you'd rather find them in bookshops and museum shops than at Toys'RUs.

Twrchtrwyth, I hadn't realised that COG and the Dino Horizons are one and the same - the dino is at home, and I'm at work, see?
They are in fact the 'Dino Exhibits' you pointed out.
In case you have problems buying them I could get them from the local store and mail them to you, although the selection is limited - I think the T-Rex, Stegadon and Triceratops are the ones still available, with around 3-5 of each in stock. PM if you don't manage to get your hands on the, and and I'll find the price and try to check about postage.

Good luck then Twrchtrwyth :)

Not very pulpy at all, but last Monday I got the first unit for my Ancients army, Cretan Archers and a Republican Roman mounted command from Magister Millitum, all 15mm tall.
Nice sculpts but limited poses (all the archers are in classic draw arrow from back pose).
I had been waiting for quite a while for these and proceeded to clean them, base them, prime them and paint them in one sitting:
(http://bp2.blogger.com/_Ui9CQGGMy9A/R6rjbwXLiFI/AAAAAAAAFLA/VYssJLk5js0/s400/Cretans.JPG)
In the back row sits a then WIP command stand that I have since finished.
Can´t wait for the bulk of my army to arrive, in the form of excellent Corvus Belli miniatures :)

Aaaarrrgh.... how do you do that??? It would have taken me a month just to clean up the figs :D
In the meantime I received:
Star Wars Miniatures Champions of the Force Common Set
I had been expecting it since mid-December (bought it off Evilbay end November), so it was nice to get it in :)
-

Generally it bores me to no end the non-painting part of finishing up a mini. Cleaning mold lines, Gluing, even undercoating. I´m really not a modeller, I´m a painter and a gamer :)
However, with the right dose of motivation, I glide through the boring part to get to the most pleasing :)

Ramshackle Games huntsman Spider tank and the Isembard Kickass Brunel fig.

Vietnam primarily, but they made over 100 000 of those and when the soviets stopped using them they passed them on to other pact countries, they'll work for anything from Cuba to Tanzania with a pitstop in Afghanistan

Thanks Col. and it comes with a base, that is a good idea

that's great with boltaction, even some of the the tanks come with them:)
Not that i base my tanks, but they're worth gold for when i need to base artillery :)

Well, quite a few things:
From Super Gibbon (traded for 5 old GW plastic beastmen):
-5 SuperFigs Katusha Rockets (can be used as high-end pulp villain henchmen, I think.
- 4 other SuperFigs, dunno the names
- 5 Scavengers (I think they may be old Copplestone figs from Grenadiers 'Future Warriors' range)
- 9 (!) Foundry Street Violence figs, including Snow White and 4 Dwarves :D
I tel ya, pardner, doncha do no talking to that crazee monkee. Let ME do the talkin'! :lol:
Seriously, a VERY nice fella to do barterin' with! I owe him one.
I also went shopping with my eldest daughter (4½), and discovered, that Toys'r'us do no longer carry the Schleich Dinos :cry: :cry: :x
BUT, they had PotC Ultimate Black Pearl Playset at way under ½ price. I bought it! Having just a week ago or so received LotHS, I could not resist....
And I went to the game store at purchased a Star Wars Miniatures AT-AT (they had no less than 3 on display of that 'Limited Ed.' bigature..... :? )
-
And i completely forgot: My wife(!) bought me(!!) 6 1/43 scale 50's cars:
- Crysler C-300 1955
- 1955 Oldsmobile Super 88
- Buick 1955
- Cadillac Eldorado 1955
- Pontiac Bonneville 1957
- Chevrolet Corvette 1957

it has been a banner week for me. On Saturday the latest Conquest releases (Frontiersmen B and French marines C&D) arrived and just yesterday my big box of Eureka goodness arrived containing a draft of reinforcements for the F&I highlanders in campaign dress I aquired a year ago along with 48 of the new F&I provincial troops. Half of these will be Pennsylvania militia and the other half will portray the 60th Royal American Regiment. I'll need to build a fort for that militia to man now...
Once I get all of the Eureka troops painted I can game Grant's Hill and Bushy Run. I walk over the site of Grant's Hill every night on the way home from work and Bushy Run is about 45 minutes away. It's always fun to game something local!

A figure I'd been looking for after spotting it in my copy of Shieldwall:
(http://wk.frothersunite.com/misc/pics/norsefig.jpg)
Old Citadel preslotta, off ebay.
He's a bit small compared to my Foundry blokes but he'll join the looters nonetheless.
-
WK
So you finally got him, good. Let me know when your minis arrive.
I just bought a box set of Warhammer Skinks and a few packs of Skinks with bows.
I got some ideas of a Weird War II game where a crippled Merchant Ship is able to beach the ship before it sinks on a small island and then the U-Boat with a small detachment of Marines decide to see what's in it before they sink it. But unknown to all the island is populated by a strange species of sentient lizards and they love MEAT! Weird War II gaming at it's finest.

GW Lizardmen and skinks are great for making a lost tribe for pulp and weird war II.

A M48A3, some tank crews and some vietnamese from Force of Arms..
The tank is sweeeet :love:

A pair of prehistoric giant terror birds from Amazon miniatures, and a dozen medieval knights courtesy of our mate Malamute. Not intended to be used together, but, well, now I've thought of it...

What is it that colourful ideom about a 800lbs gorilla in the room that you americans use? :-)
-
I think you've mixed two idioms.
"The elephant in the room" is something obvious that nobody is talking about AND everyone knows that nobody is talking about it. So, for example, the family gets together for a birthday party and your younger brother shows up with a nasal piercing and his head shaved into a mohawk and nobody says a damn thing about it for the entire evening. See also: Family member who just came out of the closet.
"The 800 lb. gorilla" is the dominant force in a particular field. Games Workshop is the 800 lb. gorilla of miniature gaming.
-
Ok, so if the family gets together for a birthday party and my younger brother shows up with a nasal piercing and his head shaved into a mohawk, then I enter, buck nacked except for a thin layer of wasabi and a live duck on my head and nobody says a damn thing about it for the entire evening. Would it be correct to call me the the 800lbs gorilla in the room since I am the bigger freak of the two?

You show up naked except for a thin layer of wasabi and a live duck on your head and you can call yourself whatever you want.

1 old Citadel Lizardman, 1 Ogre and 3 reptilmen from Grenadier, eBay. Another of those lorries I find in supermarkets this one with a skip on it, and a tractor with a spade/excavator attachment and at last a decently scaled family saloon, all from Tesco, all £3 or under.

Oh dear, hope someone won't go ape again.... I took advantage of the F-o-u-n-d-r-y offer on some of their range and got a bunch of Crimean troops to go with Sandokan and Brooke, including a pack of mounted Bashi Bazouks, one of French troops, one pack of Turks and two of British troops.

I got my first two miniatures for my new miniatures company painted today and here they are. These are the picks we will use for the web store whenever we finish it. They are true 28mm German Luftfaust B gunners. They were painted by the most talented Jim Bailey of Grindhouse Games who is developing the SOTR game system for West Wind.

That's a masterful post. It's almost, dare I say it ... cinematic in the way it conveys the depths of Cardinal Murray's depraved hypocrisy. I think we have witnessed the birth of a new artform here. It must be suppressed of course, but kept in the Vatican vaults for the cardinals to gaze upon when the fancy takes them.
For his crimes Murray should be sent to the South Seas to spread the Holy Church's word. Preferably to a tribe of Melanesians with a penchant for anthropophagy in the Nouvelle Cuisine* manner, if such folks exist.
*Having seen photos of Pete's slender frame I fear that's the only way he'll stretch to feed the whole tribe.

Just compairing with the dino-hunter with the BAR:
Heads same size
Hands, about the same size, some (holding weapons) even slightly larger.
Size seems to vary slightly between sculpts (very neat sculpts, though!).
I'm going to use them for S&S as well as for exotic temple guards/pirates/whatever for pulp gaming... I'm probably also going to use some of them as Barbary Pirates...

Thanks! I'll be getting a few of them as well, in that case.

I received from Outpost and Killer B the new geezers. The police are excellent , the 3 in helmets are fantastic and have got the coppers helmet spot on two other bobbies have pistols whilst the 6th is wading into the ruck with his truncheon. (need to remember what colours I used for the others now :oops: )
Plus 2 security guards carrying the payroll. A nice touch is the old motor bike helmets and strong boxes (I think these need to be in a sickly brown unifomr as befits security guards)
Finally on the geezers, 5 Slags a nice guy with a sawn off in afghan coat (Hmm Citizen Smith methinks) Kipper ties abound with a chap wearing a holster while the other stands with pistol ready earing Diedre Barlows specs :lol: Final two are real blaggers one prefering fists to his pistol while the other is tool up with a pistol and sawn off (he will be Buster Burns- he has real mutton chops on him)
Now to the Outpost Dragoons, these are the best yet, adding to the Highwayman range, Martin Baker has excelled himsilef and the detail is excellent. WEspecially the faces and the muskets. 2 are using muskets and the third is buckling his swash :mrgreen: mounted figures for each of these are also great. These are ideal for Gloire for hunting down highwaymen, pirates or smugglers
-
Dragoons are phenomenally useful figures, applicable in a wide range of settings where they can chase all sorts of ruffians, booze it up in taverns and pinch the barmaids, and quarter themselves on the unwilling populace. Being mounted (and usually armed with a variety of toys), they're more than token resistance to heroic knaves and ne'er-do-wells. In short: Good choice.

How do I get to become a Dragoon, Where do I sign up? I like the idea of boozing it up in a tavern and pinching barmaids :D

How do I get to become a Dragoon, Where do I sign up? I like the idea of boozing it up in a tavern and pinching barmaids :D
Go do some LARP'ing. That's where I do those things :lol:

I'm afraid the only way is to work one's way up the ranks. You have to spend a year as one of the "barmaids" first. Doesn't seem so attractive anymore, does it? :P :P

and the Tactica 2008 special miniature "Bischof Ansgar"
He is the guy accredited withbringing christianity to DK - and thus the guy I can thank for my (middle) name (Christian)... I'm disappointed that I could not go, I would have liked to get my paws on this one (and get to meet some people from in here 'in the flesh'), but I simply had too much to do and too little time to do it in this last week....
(We have several 'Ansgar Churches' in DK)

I picked that book up, much better than the other side of the mountain too, a good find Col :mrgreen:

This is the book

Kind of an inside joke based on TMP, where in the members-only area there is a thread with over 20,000 replies, and still going. And so begins my sordid tale of woe and blame and finger pointing.
Some fellow calling himself "Polynikes" started a thread called "Contains WHAT?" where he started ranting about something on TV. Since TMP doesn't have an erase/edit function on posts (or didn't at the time), he immediately decided that instead of whining about television, he wanted to play Never-Get-Started-Monopoly. You play this game by picking a piece for the game (such as the dog or the car.) The next player picks the piece you just picked, so you pick another one. The next player picks that piece.* Two turns of the game therefore go like this:
Player 1: I want to be the dog.
Player 2: No, I want to be the dog.
Player 1: Fine, I'll be the car.
Player 2: No, I want to be the car.
In the course of the game, the pieces involved became more and more esoteric, eventually segueing into pieces from an unseen Tintin edition. At that point, the mummified remains of Rascar Capac were claimed. Shortly thereafter, Steve Prefontaine was claimed by the same individual, and not long after that, a new piece, the Mummified Remains of Steve Prefontaine were claimed.
At that point, the Polynikes individual switched his icon to Steve Prefontaine.
Unfamiliar with Mr. Prefontaine, I remarked that it looked like Sean Connery in Zardoz.
And someone asked: "What's Zardoz?"
And the world was never the same after that.
I will return this thread to its proper function in exchange for Kinmont Willie and a dozen fine border cattle.
*: Keep in mind that "Mornington Crescent" was also invented in Greater Britain
-
My head hurts now :o :? :D :mrgreen:
-
It does rather look like Rascar Capac/Steve Prefontaine.
But a 1970s British bawdy-comedy effeminate/homosexual version, judging by the way he's clutching his handbag while pulling his jib. :)
(Being sensible for a minute, Rascar Capac is the Inca Mummy from the Tintin adventure "The Seven Crystal Balls.")

Brrr. I had to skip the pages featuring Rascar Capac when I was a kid. These days I have a RC fridge magnet which helps me wake up in the mornings.

Perhaps I should be thankful I don't have a sponsoring membership at TMP anymore. I refused to get a new one after my old account simply vanished into thin air with a month of sponsorship left. That's also how I got my somewhat odd moniker at that forum, "Rhoderic III and counting". When "Rhoderic" vanished I created "Rhoderic II" which also vanished. I'm sure Bill has it in for me :)
Which reminds me, I should really get around to becoming a sponsoring member here, instead.
-

nothing sad about that, i justr haven't gotten arounf to hooking up my scanner ;)
I have the same childhood memories of that mummy as hammershield :lol:

Col Stone made his own tunnel rat :wink:
I'd like to know how to get one (or more)
-
I have very few of my own, i hardly had time to open the package before they were called for by my brothers and friends.. :?
There's a thread with it on TAGs forum, i don't know if pete was going to add it to the freebie range or something like that :)

I just bought a Corgi Fighting Machines Land Rover CS90115 , I thought it would be perfect for my Hasslefree "Not the Queen" figure. :)
-
Got me some assorted LotR-blisters (Harad and Gondor) + some plastic Haradrim Raiders from a nearby hobby store...
I also stumbled on the big bag of plastic 'Zombie Pirates of the Vampire Coast' form the time when GW released 'Lustria'. Had to... bag... that one.
Also a couple of (very expensive) die-cast brass steering wheels for The Black Pearl and the sloop I'm building....
-
Hammers' German Camel Jockeys arrived today, and they look even better in the flesh. For pics I refer you to his original post for now, though I have forgotten where it is.
-
The 7 blokes seen here, on special offer which means they count as freebies 8) : http://forum.backofbeyond.de/viewtopic.php?p=49054#49054 - quite a nice bunch to, especially the sentry with folded arms and his colleague shouting 'Halt!' or something :)
PS - now, if we add up German sentries with commandos and a bus (and maybe a snow plough?) what do we get...?
-
Three weeks to the day my first order from the UK arrived from Westwind.
I wonder if customs are holding things up as I have not waited that long before. :?
GRK012 Rage Virus Zombies , GHZ004 Zombies , 44WGB10 Commandos 2 (to bulk out my Foundry Commandos) , G-SHS7 German bare heads (for conversions) , WRUS16 Russian Partizans ( I have about fifty Partizans now) , GHM002 Mummy Servant Priests , GHM004 Diggers.
The Rage Zombies are bigger than expected but I like everything I bought , I just have to find time to paint it all. :roll:
-
A real nice pile of lovely goodies arrived today.
But they're all for my club, and that is top secret at the moment, so I can't tell you anything about them!

Lizardmen from the Company that shall not be named here. After seeing them in action on Grimm's board at the Tactica I had to have a few of them. Need them, as I'm planning to put up some of the Infinity Wars Scenarios from TORG - the ultimate pulp role-playing game.
-
Working from home this morning, so was in when the postie delivered my orders from Copplestone and Foundry. Some new hunters for the Lost World, with big bore express rifles and such s they can be used for Pulp games as well as Victorian/Edwardian expeditions.
And a couple of dinosaurs and a lion for them to shoot at, and donkeys for hauling their gear around.
Mmmmm... Happy chappie. :)

Thanks to TAG, my UNIT forces are now equipped with the LAW 80 Anti-Dalek weapon. :)

A fantatic little haul waiting for when I got home from Manchester today
my first ever prize from Killer B which only took 15 guesses to find out where the inspiration for the Rukbat:Alien Bodyguard came from :mrgreen: many thanks Craig
A lovely gift from Bravo 6 which was 4 wildebeast he and I bid on on e-bay which he won but then kindly gave me the doubles. Many thanks for the generous offer.
And from Gripping beast 3 camel riders gratis form Darren at the Beast, I bought as you may remember some moors and had 3 camles without riders when I cheekily asked to see if I could buy them, he sent me 3 as samples.
Now doesnt all this kindness and friendliness restore your faith in humanity and shows the virtues of our gaming community.
Many thanks to you all :mrgreen:
-
Just have to chime in there, on the customer-friendliness of Gripping Beast. I recently asked if they could sell me duplicates of a particular miniature that otherwise came in a pack with seven other figures, and they obliged, despite the trouble that I'm sure was involved. The figure in question was an Arthurian personality covered in a cloak, which I needed multiples of to use as "Hidden Movement" markers.
-
I just got a large supply of Hasslefree figures , I think Zombie Hunters may be my next project :D

it could be a pretty good basis for a 50's spaceship:)
if i recall correctly it can carry it's own weight in armaments :)

She sure is a beaut Col.! Great kit all around.
Lowtardog, glad you could use the extra wildebeests. Gawd knows every Africa gamer need more wildlife. I'm just beginning to stockpile mine.

Good god! :o
I have a set of them in a box somewhere at the parent's house! Complete with terrible ten-year old's paintjobs in dayglo enamels.
I always really liked the one in the space helmet with the frisbee thing myself.

Well I've figured out what I want to do with them and I can't seem to find them anywhere so if you don't want them....

Hell, I'd have to find the buggers first. Let me see what I can do and I'll PM if I find them. That do you?

Sounds good, I'm in no hurry plenty of other projects!

Yesterday a whole bunch of Rattrap pulp minis arrived (incl. Kroon, and some kroonbots), and I received a set of 'Weapons & Warriors' Pirate game (off Ebay). Lots of useful stuff in there, two small ships, two boats, a tower, some treasure chests, a bunch of palm trees, and a whole bunch of plastic minis of which some will go on the painting table (A captain and at least one sailor/pirate).

Some lovely Caliphate Arabs form Musketeer arrived today :love: :mrgreen:

Great purchases Chairface. I'm jealous as I should have been at Hotlead this year. There's no doubt I'll be there next year and looking forward to it.

What do you think about the alien Star Bar Patrons? They look like fun but I'd like to hear what they look like in person.
I think they're perfect for Fantastic Worlds (and the Mos Eisley Cantina). Most of them are butt ugly (in a mutant/alien way), and as most MegaMinis, they're on the small side (but being aliens, that's hardly an issue).
There's a band, and a 4-armed bouncer hiding a club (sic!) on his back - and some of the patrons are definitely waving weapons around...
Are they value for money? I you want weird-looking aliens to crowd a bar or city scene, yes. If you want hard-core hi-tech sci-fi, no.

Old Glory Pirate Artillery & Crews and Pirate Looters & Victims. Overall, some very nice figures. There are a couple, though, with some dicey anatomy, mostly too short arms. My biggest complaint is, how thick does a base have to be? These are going to take some heavy equipment to remove or even thin down!

Just got Wings of War (Aces) and planes for Eddie Rickenbacker and some kraut with a jawbreaker name and his kite painted in high-visibility red. Wotsisname. Got shot down by some dirt farmer from Crime Island.
Fun fact! A member of my wedding party had his wedding reception at a restaurant at the College Park Airport*. The restaurant is called the "93rd Aero Squadron" and has a coat owned by Eddie Rickenbacker hanging in it.
*: The College Park Airport is the world's oldest continually-operated airport and was the site of the first demonstration of air-to-ground combat, with a Lewis gun strapped into a Wright Flyer model. This historical minute brought to you by the Committee for the Advancement of All Things Maryland.

I held this in my hand today and it was all I could do resisting to buy. I count the hours fore I cave. Question: there were three variants; that baloon one Plynkes did a write up on, an Ace variant and one called Look behind you ( I think) which was about recon escort I think. There was very little written about each variant on the back. Does anyone have a recommendation.
-
Any of them can be played as a stand-alone game, I think. They all contain the basic rules. If you're only going to get one, then Famous Aces is probably not the best to get, as it is just the basic rules.
Burning Drachens has rules and cards for ground attack (strafing trenches, etc) AAA, AA MGs and balloon busting.
Watch your Back has rules for two-seaters (with rear-firing MGs, a whole new challenge). Don't have this one so can't really tell you much about it. I think it also contains the ground attack rules.
If you are going to buy the model planes I wouldn't get Famous Aces. All it has to offer are a bunch of plane movement and stat cards, which come with the models anyway.
-
Thanks, P, you're a capital fellow. I seem to recall someone talking about a delux version. What does that come with?
-
Haven't seen that myself, other than when it was mentioned here. I think you get four or so model planes with it. The normal sets contain no models, you play with little cards.
-

Picked up a Gatorman Posse for Hordes down at a local shop this Saturday and they were done paintting yesterday and now I'm laying the final hands on a pulp scenario for these critters and two bands of adventurers. Busy times!

I wish I'd had Poly's recommendation before I got mine, but I consider it no great loss of money.
Give in. It's an amazing game. I played around with it a bit tonight and oh Nelly is it a fun ride. You will be making noises of propellers and guns firing after ten minutes.
-
Thanks, P, you're a capital fellow. I seem to recall someone talking about a delux version. What does that come with?
The games developers have mentioned in their Yahoo!-group that there isn't a de Luxe-box planned for the anglo-american market as the provider (Fantasy Flight Games) won't do one. The de Luxe box is available in italian, german and perhaps french. Don't know about spanish. I highly recommend it, having one myself and just ordered another 2 for our club and a friend. You can get them at www.spiele-offensive.de/ for 31.99 EUR, a decent price as there are 4 planes inside, worth 26 EUR if bought separately. The planes included are:
Albatros DVa / Udet
Fokker DrI / M. von Richthofen
Sopwith Camel / Barker
SPAD XIII / Baracca
The balance between Mittelmächte and Entente is just right, the SPAD being less manouevrable than the rest but faster, the Albatros the same as the Camel, but without the sharp right turn and the Fokker having the best manouevres, but being slowest and most vulnerable.

WoW has taken off big time this year at our club (quite chuffed as they scoffed me at first) with around 6 players now.
One of the lads has picked up the new bombers and aircraft, they are very nice and now have tiny little pilots :mrgreen:
-
You will be making noises of propellers and guns firing after ten minutes.
Oh, goody! Then I can play with fiver, son of hammershield. He makes nothing but propeller sounds. From the head end at least.
A question since the tiny planes, which are not very good value for the money @ 1/144 scale for 11-12 Euro, would it be very inconvenient to scale the game up to 1/72 where the range of planes are cheaper and endless?
-
The models are 6.50 EUR for the first series, 7.19 EUR for the second, I guess it's a fair price considered that metal ones are mostly a little bit more expensive.
You need the bases for playing, so with 1/72 you should have a problem as the bases are in scale with the manoeuvre cards. With 1/72 models, I'd say play Canvas Eagles.
-
Is there an online catalogue of rulesets and planes for WoW somewhere?
-
Try the link above and search for wings of war. if you want to see what's available in english, try the Fantasy Flight Games Website.
-

Ah infancy. Thank God they grow out of it.

It would be very inconvenient. The movement cards are everything in the game, and scaling them up wouldn't be easy. You'd look like you were playing some sort of peculiar Renaissance Italian tarot card game.
The other problem is that the bases are designed with four short peg-and-hole rods instead of being a single rod with connectors at either end. That also cuts down on your ability to use different manufacturer aircraft. The bases are also integral to measurement and determining firing arcs, and have the plane stats on them. There's a guy in our gaming club who's a huge aircraft gaming fan, and the basing is his major ding against the system.
Now, if that could be overcome (and it could with some plexiglass or clear plastic and Engineering Ability), then there are a variety - tons! - of 1/144 planes on the market. You'd have to paint them yourself but it seems a fair tradeoff.
-
I see. Well, that's thriftiness out of the way. I think I shall choose the Burning Drachens or Watch your Back variants eventually since they have air to surface combat.
-
Haven't seen that myself, other than when it was mentioned here. I think you get four or so model planes with it. The normal sets contain no models, you play with little cards.
For what I've heard, that edition is only available in Germany!
@Hammershield: regarding the plane scales -> the really important is that the bases are the same size as the ones in the "official" versions! wich are the same as the cards! all the measurements are made regarding the base! the rest is up to you, I think! but it will be a bit harder to use a bigger plane with the "official" base size!
-
Here's what it boils down to, getting that there big plane to sit on that base nicely in a playable fashion:
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y40/Plynkes/Comparison.jpg)
Frankly, I think that if you must have 1/72 planes, cramming one onto the existing base is a much more realistic proposition than making a new bigger base, and therefore having to remake all the movement cards in a bigger size to fit.
It wouldn't be that difficult. You just need to attach a peg to the bottom of your plane the same as the ones that come with the game have.
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y40/Plynkes/Peg.jpg)
I think the base is big enough to probably hold a 1/72 plastic model without the whole thing tipping over, and it doesn't obscure too much of the necessary game information on the base.
-
It might fit, but you can't play the game any more as the planes will collide in close action dogfights.
-
I was not aware there was, as Pete says, a big market for 1/144 models. Looking at your gaming board, Plynkes, I think I would actually prefer that scale in the end. Its practical and it sort of captures the feel of seeing things from a great height or distance.
-
It might fit, but you can't play the game any more as the planes will collide in close action dogfights.
That's a good point, I hadn't considered that. That might become quite an annoyance.
-
I have seen the new two seater planes from the second wave WOW planes. They are so cool. I will buy all the variants at SALUTE.
Paul
-
I hope they'll make models of the planes in the Burning Drachens set. They've got a red K.u.k. Alby, like the one in the picture in my game report.
I suppose I could repaint one of the other ones, but I'm lazy. Edit: Ah, it's a different sort, with different stats. Deffo need a new model, then.
We need the Nieuports, too! I don't want to have to use the cards, after the models there's no going back!
-

Take lots of pictures and report here. I'd love to see what's coming out.
One company that makes a wide, wide range of period 1/144 planes is Riveresco, though their website is hardly easy on the eyes. At least all their product is pictured! They do make a pack of pilots and gunners which you can drop in the cockpit, and Joey claims they make all the difference in the world in improving appearance. I may mooch some off him and see how it works.
There are also plastic kits from one of the biggie kit companies, and I would bet money the Japanese have some insanely detailed and beautiful gashopon-style models you could pick up.
-
Reviresco does indeed hav quite a range, among them a Nieuport:
(http://www.tin-soldier.com/neu237.gif)
-
The Riveresco stuff isn't bad. I almost picked a bunch up for WoW at Cold Wars. Then I realised that for about $4 more I could get the actual WoW planes already assembled and painted with an extra manoeuver deck and flight stand. I'll probably pick up some Riveresco stuff eventually to fill in the stuff WoW aren't covering. Since I have a load of pre-paints now I figure I can just use those movement stands with the Riveresco stuff with a little fiddling.
-
Apart from Reviresco Skytrex has a nice range, too.
-
Plynkes@ From what I have gathered about the WOW sets is that they contain different coloured damage cards. Red for the single seaters and blue for the two seaters. I may be wrong (it's happened before!).
So would you be able to say which colour damage cards are included in the two rule sets you have?
Thanks, :mrgreen:
-
They are not colour-coded as far as I know. All the damage decks I have are red (though admittedly I don't have all of them), the blue cards are the plane and movement cards. The damage decks are differentiated by letter.
Famous Aces contains the A Deck, which is for twin machineguns.
Burning Drachens also contains an A deck. In addition it has the C Deck, which is for collisions and Archie, and the D Deck, which is used by rockets.
Looking through the two boxes at all the various tranklements, it would seem there is no B Deck in either set. That is the single machine gun deck. This is a little odd, as some of the planes in Burning Drachens are B-firers. I can only presume that the B Deck comes with Watch Your Back. I've seen decks of movement and plane cards sold separately in packs, maybe they sell damage decks too.
-
The promo card I got for "Watch Yer Back" has a B/B plane in it. I assume that the B deck is in that one.
-
I think you are right about the B decks benig in Watch Your Back. The seperate card-only expansions just contain more plane and manoeuver cards. At least here in the states that is the case. If you join the "official" Yahoo group (wow_nexus) you can also download a print your own version of the B deck from their files section.
-
You know, Alex ought to clip out the last two pages and post it to the WWI as "How to Get Hooked on Wings of War" so that those of us who have gone ga-ga for the game can keep it going.
Also then we can blame Poly for getting us hooked on it.
-
The B-Deck is included in the deLuxe edition, too. What about the collision rules? Are the4y worth a try?
-
The collision rules are an optional part of the altitude rules. I think if you don't use altitude then it is assumed that there are no collisions. You just fly under or over whatever your model is touching.
I used them in error, because we didn't use altitude, but it did add a little more challenge to strafing the balloon, and so I'm glad we did (but my opponent isn't!).
I think they are worth using, and make even more sense if you are using the altitude rules.
-
I found the english rules on the fantasy flight webside, but thanks anyway.

Receiced some Brooks miniatures Taliban, very nice figures and some good resin casualties. Awesome delivery as I ordered them yesterday :mrgreen:

-

Too small I think for TAG unless you dont mind mixing them with Mongrel.
Height wise they are spot on with Mongrel a little more sturdy than the Mongrel ones but will fit in very well. Weapons are a little cruder, not by much but the RPG7 is noticeable, being thicker. Overall I like them a lot. Only 12 in the range but 4 packs of 4 figures each with an RPG in the pack which is a nice re-enforcement for my Warlord :mrgreen:
They do a pack of 8 casualties which are in resin and look like they have been normal figures postioned on their sides etc, not bad at all actually, good for markers or that booby trap in a game :lol
On a side note, I have had the best painting week for a long time with 3 tanks finished, 4 GAZ trucks and finished 24 Ruskis I have had lying around for months part painted :)
-
Don't mind mixing on table, but no mixed units,, that might change if i get some "middlemen"
Good for you with the painting, i almost finished a t62 today..
and did some work on the you know what.. and some other stuff 8)

Do you mean TAG :lol: sends our Frak mad or used to.
Hopefully I have broken the back of the Soviet Afghan war although I now have the 10th Rota to paint, The heli crew and stinger team.
I also picked up a pack of Mongrel Muj with rifles from e0bay for £2.63 which was a bargain so now have another 25 or so Muj to paint :D
I ordered my 3 pack of Muj tank riders, the first went into my Technicals whilst the second became look outs sitting on stones etc, this third lot should round out the technicals and I am going to try and use them with the ZU23 AA gun as a crew of sorts.
As for Russians sheesh, stil have 3 packs of the Second release of Mongrels, the 10 characters and 3 platoons worth of the old Russians which Frank very kindly gave me when he gave up Mongrel.
Vehicle wise just the 3 BMD to finish and the Hind :wink: but I think I will only giver it a bit of a dry brush and an oil wash to dirty it up at. Not the cracking airbrushing you are giving yours :mrgreen:
-
that's a LOT :D
The basic paintjob on the hind is pretty good, but i had to take it apart for the crew anyway so i figured a repaint wasn't too much hassle.. how wrong i was ;)

Okay, bit of a WoW update here. I now have "Watch your Back." So at last I have a precious B Deck. Apart from that it was a bit of a waste of money. Got some new plane cards and stuff, but there are no extra rules. It has the same rulebook as "Famous Aces." (I should have remembered that, it does actually say in it that they share a rulebook).
So I would say definitely get "Burning Drachens" to anyone dipping their toes into this game. It has the complete rules (which the other two do not), plus the ground attack target cards, AAA cards and balloon cards. The only reason I can see to get "Watch your Back" is for the B Deck. You do get the stats for a bunch of new planes, that's something I suppose. But as I am collecting the models that isn't really relevant to me (the models come with the cards needed to use them in the game). Stinks ever so slightly of rip-off to me, that. I really don't think the three boxes contain enough that is different from each other to justify them being three separate products. Ever so slightly Games Workshoppy there.
To be fair though, it seems you can download the B Deck and print it out yourself. I think I should have done that.

The figures look very anatomically correct to me, so could look thin next to some metal figs. They're 28mm high from the bottom of the foot to the top of the head and the hats would add another mm or two. I'll try and post some comparison pics later. You get 3 sprues in the box each with:-
Marching 5
Drummer/standard bearer/marching 1
Officer 1
Reaching into ammo pouch 1
Ramming home shot 1
Reaching into small pouch on front of belt (priming musket?) 1
Firing or at ready cocking musket 2 (can be made into either)

Thank you for that information. Comparions pics would be great.

Because of the LPL rules I am guarding my painted miniatures like a dragon his hoard.
But isn't this the topic of the unpainted ones ? :roll:
meow,
Matt
Go to the purveyors' website, you lazy bum! The minis are clearly labeled and nicely depicted there. ;-)
-
BLOODY HELL! :x
my wife just told me that my latest miniatures order arrived at our house today! and I'm stuck at work! and probably will only leave at 21 o'clock, or later! :x
just a rant!
I wanna go home and see my new minis! :cry: :cry:

Just got this trio of lovely ladies in the post:

Should be useful for a few Weird War scenarios.
Available from Warmacre games, here:
http://www.warmacre.com/webpages/shop/shopUK.htm
Excellent service too, I only ordered them on Sunday afternoon. :)
-
That top one is quite nice. Unusual.
-
I have the same Warmacre figures on my Salute "maybe" list.
How do they measure up compared to Copplestone, Artizan etc?
Mary is a must for breaking into the castle......Broadsword calling Danny Boy......
-
How do they measure up compared to Copplestone, Artizan etc?
Not bad, the top two are pretty good as far as compatibility go, the partizan woman at the bottom is quite slender and a bit shorter than the other companies, but since she's a girl, that doesn't really represent a problem for me.
For sticklers to detail, her machine pistol is quite short, but since I'll be using her for Weird War, it won't matter as I can claim it's an experimantal model or something.
I got one of their Major Harris figs as well, who is also nice, but a bit rougher compared to the female sculpts. Still, for the price, they make nice additions to a commando team and will serve as excellent cannon fodder.
-
Receivd a lovely Motor Max Soviet Hind 1/60th and form Mongrel the 9th Rota, downed helicopter crew and a cracking Muj stinger crew (wonder what thats for :roll: )
I already had the Hind but otherwise i got the same things today :)

Thanks for that. Moved from "maybe" to "buy". :roll:
-
No worries. :)
The lady-figures are the best of the lot IMO, and should mix in nicely with the chunkier (more masculine?) style of Artizan/Copplestone.

Thanks to Mr. White Knight, a haul of bones landed this afternoon: a Grenadier skeletal War Rhino ; a Grenadier skeletal War Mammoth; a Verlinden 150mm skeleton which will take active service as a rather large giant skeleton; and a handful of equally skeletal samurai.
Thanks White Knight - doing this trade was a pleasure. 8) 8) 8)

Thanks to Svennn the DH Nut (you're a true gentleman, Sir), let me introduce to you le Professeur Pierre de Rosette :

He arrived at home this morning and 'm really happy with him
(I felt a bit guiltly first cause it's my most expensive mini, but nothing compare with the OOP madness on E-bay, and Svennn was very generous and very cool as I behaved childlishly :oops: )
A few weeks ago, I recieved this too :
(http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2399/2421816784_faf7b5de30.jpg)
Don't trust what you see : IT IS NOT a DH-2, it will be a Voisin 3... one day.
It's all Plynkes'fault, and I bought it before the FFFFF madness : Biggles had already infected me.
So be careful, this man is contagious (and very inspirationnal !)
meow,
Matt
-
The professor is a great find!
-
I want a Voisin 3.*
And a DH2 in drag will not do!
I don't think anyone makes them. :(
*Imagine a tearful two-year-old saying they want something, and you have the correct tone for that statement.
-
And a DH2 in drag will not do!
You're not kind :cry: I want to believe in drag...

Unfortunately yes, in 1/48 :

It must be made out of platinum or Einsteinium or something precious or rare like that.

Well I expected to see gold leaf around the edges, but .....!
Nice find by the way on all! That Smer kit on the DH2 looks nice!

Not only that, but...
Members of the EEC should add 19% V.A.T.
I was so stunned before I didn't even notice that part. Surely a real one would be cheaper?

Once a year I'm visiting the "INTERMODELLBAU", one of the largest model shows around (largest in Europe at least). You'll find anything concerning aircraft, plastic modelling, ships, railroads, loads of tools, equipment, detailing sets etc. pp.
Among other things, and besides my usual and serious intention not to buy anything 8) , I came up with those goodies:
(http://www.moduni.de/picture/500/7/6/3/4/7634001.jpg)
The pic shows the DFW T28 "Floh" in 1/72 scale, but I've got it from Eduard in 1/48 scale :love: :love: :love:
For the price of 12,- EUR! :mrgreen:
Then some very nice tufts of grass useful for figure bases from german manufacturer Langmesser: miniNatur
(http://www.langmesser-modellwelt.de/images/32-727-24.JPG)
You can order this and lots of other useful variants here:
http://www.langmesser-modellwelt.de/index.php?cPath=78_73&osCsid=ca14d6cfde876c9abafaaa35a1f51663
And a bunch of those nice toys for any pulp projects:
(http://www.picolodia.com/store/medium_z74vpx.jpg)
A very nice new range of collector's "candy" from Japan, where you have to buy random boxes to get the all the variants. I was lucky and could buy the dinos by type from the german company "Japanmodelrailways", and although you will not find the dinos on their webpage, just email them and ask for the "Dino Museum" range. I'm pretty sure they will sell them to you.
http://www.japanmodelrailways.com/
But maybe it's a good idea to wait a couple of days, as the Intermodellbau is open till Sunday evening, and then they will have to drive home and recover a couple of days ...
All in all I'm very happy with my finds, and anybody living around this show in Dortmund should consider a visit next year ...
-
You cannot convince me the Floh is real. It's some sort of Miyazaki creation - it has to be. You're not fooling me!
-
"You cannot convince me the Floh is real. It's some sort of Miyazaki creation - it has to be. You're not fooling me!"
my first thoughts too - it looks so Ghibli its untrue and I may have to get one for that reason

If ever a plane was built for the FFFFF, this is she.
-
I just rolled a d20 and passed my Wisdom check. This means I continue to successfully disbelieve in the Floh.
-

:lol:
Well, is was real. German aircraft engineers tried to construct a plane without struts and rigging, and built this machine with the first streamlined hull. On trials it came to top speed of 180 Km/h, and when you consider the fastest fighter planes on the westfront flying around 140 km/h, that was quite a success. In the end they had to use struts and at least some rigging for stability, but at least the plane didn't look like a sailing ship ...
Unfortunately, due to the pilot's zero downsight :o due to very high seating and wing construction, landing was not an easy task ... 8) Most of the trials ended as crashes, and so only very few prototypes left the construction halls.
-
If ever a plane was built for the FFFFF, this is she.
That was indeed my first thought when I saw this thing :lol:
Hopefully you will get one through Ebay, as it seems to be quite rare in the model shops. I've got it at the show from a second-hand shop.
Wish you luck! (And looking forward to the hilarious story you will create around it ... :mrgreen: )
-
finally the whole order arrived!
pirates, civilians and Royal Marines from Foundry for my swashbuckling adventures

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v480/overlord_awc/Bond%20is%20back/KKBB01.jpg)
This is all 16 miniatures. Top row sculpted by Copplestone, bottom row by Artizan (although very last mini is unmarked)
They include not Bond, Klebb, Steed, Peel, Harry Palmer, etc
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v480/overlord_awc/Bond%20is%20back/KKBB02.jpg)
Bond is 30mm to eye/32mm top of head. Starsky is 28mm to eye/30 top of head. Klebb is 27mm to eye/29mm top of head.
They are of varying heights and are generally a bit taller and slimmer in style than the Geezers. Unless you're really fussy I don't think it will be too obvious.
Some will definately be suitable for Geezers. My top tip is the not Harry Palmer holding a Sterling 8)
These are only quick pics. If people want a better look I may take some better ones tomorrow :)

I got back from Salute, where I resisted manfully, except for...
The new Black Scorpion aliens... I shall use them to hunt my cave people :twisted:
Vendel mastiffs... to add some doggy bite to my Reivers.
Some Grenadier (EM4) Copplestone-sculpted barbarians to supplement my Copplestone and Reaper cave people.
A couple of packs of 'Imperial' troops from a Spanish GW-alike called Gamezone who I hadn't come across before. Gorgeous figures. Will see how well they fit in with the rest of my Elizabethans.
The Brigade Models lady pirate pack by Mr Hicks.
Pretty restrained I thought :wink:
I also checked out the Shadowforge and Maidenhead 'Tribals' for potential cave dwellers. I can report that both ranges have figures who would do very nicely as surrogate cave girls. But Shadowforge are TINY. And I mean some of them look more like 20mm, never mind 25mm - def not 28mm compatible. Maidenhead are a better fit height-wise, but slightly 2 dimensional. :(
I decided against.
I lovingly held the preview pack of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and they look the business, but then I figured at 30 quid, just to sit in the lead mountain for 2 years, I might as well wait until the range is released in small doses and pick the figures I really want. They do have some ace boiler-suited henchmen though.
Then finally I blew it all, by succumbing to a bl**dy huge 'Figures in comfort' carry case and assorted trays. Ah well, there goes the budget. 8)
But on the whole, I thought Salute was pretty good this year.
I did manage to resist the Perrys and their plastics. They looked pretty darn nice though - and I don't even like plastic or the ACW!
-

Please do. I've been waiting for someone to get back from Salute with pix of these.

how big are the figures ,did they work fine with G .War Miniatures ?
-
I picked up the "pre-release pack" of 16 Kiss Kiss Bang Bang figures as well.
They are ver nice - but as I have said else wherev as well I hope the two sculptors will decide on a common weapon size. At the moment the Copplestone figures have SMGs considerably larger than the Artizan ones.
-
But Shadowforge are TINY. And I mean some of them look more like 20mm, never mind 25mm - def not 28mm compatible.
That's crazzzeee talk! I mix Shadowforge with 28mm all the time.

Well, I hope Mark will tone down his figures (sizewise), otherwise they will all tower over the Artizan figures. His Back of Beyond British are giants and (I understand) so are the Gurkhas, which is just odd.
I'm actually amazed that they are not using the same weapons masters - especially as it's supposed to be a collaboration.

Two more never released Mike Owen sea-dog sculpts.
Someone who used to work with him at Foundry has a private supply... And there are more... :wink:

Ironclad Miniatures British line infantry with armoured steam car on the way soon.

Picked up Fing Fang Foom for use in my Weird War II gaming. Going to use him as a secret Jap weapon. Now all I need to do is buy a Marine and Jap army, paint them, get some Pacific scenery then I can use him.

I received from Foundry :o WWII24 Para Cannisters & Casulties x2 , WWII22 German Paratroopers x2 and GWB25 British 18 pdr.
The Cannisters Pack was a bit extravagant but I wanted some No2's for the Flamethrower and A.T rifle and the other bits will be used as markers . The 18pdr is for my Home Guard .
I always used to recieve extra figures as a bonus , have they stopped doing this now?
-
Well, what do you know! Returned home after a long day at the university (yes yes I´m a wuss and weakling) and what do I find sitting on top of my letterbox, a company of Quar infantry.
Yay yay yay! :mrgreen:

Finally received my first bunch of Elizabethan Seadogs, formerly known as Robson clan. It's one of the smaller packs from a Border Reivers range by Vendel Miniatures. I wanted to see some samples, especially as I had my "painting problems" with Gripping Beast's stuff before - and it seems to be the same sculptor here. I'm quite pleased by the miniatures' appearance and the bunch of weapons to choose from is very appreciated. Now we'll see how these minis turn out on my painting desk...
Here's a quick shot showing the lead as it came from the bag. There are also two hounds, which were separatly purchased and will be of use as generic items for several periods. Other people may be interested, so I've added a Foundry pirate (left upper corner) for size comparison:
(http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y178/Poliorketes/Tabletop/Piraten/ElizabethanSeadogs002.jpg)
NB: These items have gone through kind of an odyssey, a first sending became lost. But the fine chaps of Vendel have dealt with it in a very accomodating way. Best references to them!

No, they are just not selling miniatures anymore. Their rules will still be sold. (Unless something has changed since I last heard.)

From what I understand, they plan to go back to producing miniatures later, sometime next year at the earliest.
But for now they need to cut back on that stuff and get the company ship shape again.
Mongoose want to be a miniatures company, but their main income is from roleplay books.

A lucky find by my lovely Wife today, minis of K9 and a Slitheen. From the new Doctor Who random miniatures game.
So I quickly cropped them off the bases and replaced K9's bendy rubber tail with a pin.
(http://revford.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/images/wip-k9-2.jpg)(http://revford.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/images/wip-k9-3.jpg)
All for a few pence from a charity shop. :D
-
Nice one, I got one of the K9s a while back, they actually paint up pretty well:
(http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb155/GrunterPulpit/photo012a.jpg)
Also have a Slitheen, but haven't touched it yet as its really bendy. How are you planning to repaint it? Or are you not?

The plan is to just spray it black and paint it.
I've repainted a few rubbery Star Wars models before and it seems to work okay.

I wish I had an Asda near me, they do good pork pies.
But there not as good as the ones I found in Tesco! ;)
Pies or dinosaurs, pies or dinosaurs?

I love the sailors - bought the lot myself :). Looking at the Mongols next.
Can't wait to see what you do with the Bolsheviks.
-
copplestone figures + Witchheimer brushwork = pure wargamer porn! I'm sure the Bolshies will be brilliant, but I really want to see those Tibetans painted up!

I do have a couple of duplicate Foundry ones, PM me, I only bought 8 of them as the bleedin packs had figures which kept duplicating each other which was a real pain.
PM me your address and I will pop them in the post :D

Got the Prof (cheers, Alex). The nice chap from Deutsche Post cycled here all the way from Stuttgart with him. I gave him a cup of tea before sending him back.
Now to figure out a way to shoe-horn the Prof into the FFFFF. As Roland Garros is in full swing this week, I think I really ought to get back to that.

More soviets from mongrel miniatures.. quantity and all that ;)

Which are lovely.

Just returned from the customs. My last order from brigade arrived (thanks, Lon!). Army of India and seamen, most of it. And the sub.
-
Not quite miniatures, but closely related: $50 worth of Reaper Master Class Paints, to re-establish my painting bench with fewer enamels than before!
I've been using Humbrol enamels (the old-fashioned stinky type) since I was ten and starting flinging paint at plastic airplanes; I tried acrylics a few times but a lot of the older hobby acrylics really sucked, to be honest.
I bought a few Reaper & GW paints in the past few years for colours I couldn't get in Humbrol enamels, was quite impressed with the quality overall, and I've been getting tired of using thinners, the smell, etc. So my FLGS ordered seven or eight Reaper Master Class Triads for me, and I've been quite happy with them for the last week!
Mixing and blending are far easier than with enamels, they're all flat so I don't have to remember which paints are glossy and which flat, and thinning them for impromptu washes is so much easier.
I'll be using the Humbrols for a while yet, especially for metallics and some of the specific colours I don't have in acrylics yet. Pictures in the Pulp forum of the current batch of Pulp Figures 28mms when I'm finished experimenting on them with my new paints!
-
The Professor Witchheimer miniature! :-* It's so awesome.
-
What has one to do to get it???
Beats me, I didn't do nothing.
The Prof is now firmly on the FFFFF agenda, and has in fact jumped the queue. I have two different figures of him (one is the official LAF one), and he gets two planes, too, the lucky bleeder. In fact, I'm considering opening a whole LAF annex of the club, as I have a couple of spare planes and am thinking of adding von Plynkenstein and Tenente Sickleoni.

This year’s tax return have been bigger and most of it was spend on miniatures…
except for a new computer screen because the old one decide to blows up! :-[
Cheers! :)

Well I picked up several of these bits from some Warhammer thing. Think I will use them as some sort of weird war anti-infantry obstacle. Just image piles of twitching, grabbing and flailing undead that are soooo hungry affixed all over the battlefield. Sure would make me think twice going in that direction.
The sickness never ends, >:D

I enjoy this thread immensely but as I have no toy money at the mo' I am finding it a little depressing seeing all these wonderful new playthings you all are getting. :'( :'(
-
I got a box set of Steve jackson Games Steam Punk miniatures and the Villians set from Hellboy.
-
- The Prof. :D
- Hasslefree White Metal straightjacket loony and werewolf.

The Copplestone Chinese Warlord's band special offer (yes, I fell for it and am glad I did). 2 officers, 2 buglers, 2 standards, 10 troops in flufy hats and another 10 sans (fluffy hats), a mortar and an HMG.
-
4 cromwell IVs & a Firefly in 15mm
Several Peter Pig 15mm WW2 packs inc the LRDG set - hope they paint up better than they look in bare metal
Peter Pig 1/144 scale Pilot heads - now they look good & hopefully will rectify the omission from the Series One WOW aircraft.
-
The Copplestone Chinese Warlord's band special offer (yes, I fell for it and am glad I did). 2 officers, 2 buglers, 2 standards, 10 troops in flufy hats and another 10 sans (fluffy hats), a mortar and an HMG.
Uh-oh - now you've just got to paint them in time for LPL ound 10 ;)

32 Outpost Inca plus two palanquins plus commanders and Huaca Mummy (all for my mate) first time I have had them in my hand and they are better than the photos very impressed

You hit it right on the head. I had another set of troops, not quite correct for the period, but since the extension for round 10 entered the equation, and these turned up with impressive speed, I'm going for some of these.

I got these second hand from my hobby shop the other day:
(http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj104/FudgeKnuckles16/2ndHandBelgianAskari-1.jpg)
(http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj104/FudgeKnuckles16/2ndHandBelgianLeader-1-1.jpg)
I got them to paint up as Darkest Africa Belgians
They definitely "feel" Foundry to me but does anyone know where they're from?
-
Yes, they are Foundry, perhaps the Zanzibaris? Some that i can't see properly may be something else but the Askari on an Oxe is foundry but definitely OOP, nice pick up!! We aere only talking about that at the club last night.

I can't find find the infantry on the WF site so I'm guessing they're OOP too.
Thanx

I ordered my Great War from GB the day they anounced the offer - I think it was Plynkes who posted it on here.
The book came the following week when it was released and the figures arrived the other day. Bet yours will turn up today then.
-
I didn’t wanted to order the WH Great War Rules at first cause I just got "To the Last Man" recently :?…
But those giveaway minis from Gripping Beast are just :-* :o :-*… Oh, well!
-
A second to none purchase arrived today some Hasslefree Goblins, the armoured ogre and some Freebie Ogres due to a small mistake in packing the wrong figure form an earlier order, now how could anyone complain with service like that :D Top marks for Hasslefree, more than usual from me
-
Just got the Perry Miniatures' plastic ACW Infantry and Cavalry boxes. Nice figures with oodles of conversion potential (as seen in Wargames Illustrated) but BIG horses! :o Make my Dixons look like Shetland ponies! I expect they are closer in size to real horses but I wish they were about 10% smaller - they'd look a little more in proportion. The infantry can barely see over the saddle! I know that some original photos show this relationship between man and horse but I think more pictures show the rider is a fair bit taller than his saddle. I don't think they'll mix well with most ranges, so I hope that their own metal cavalry figures will have the larger horses to match.
-
Forgot! (It's almost 2:30 in the morning, after all!) Also picked up some of the Twins' French Napoleonic 1815 packs. Gorgeous (in a virile sort of way!) figures! I only hope I can do them justice!
-
My missing WWI command packs arrived from Gripping Beast yesterday along with a free "Digger" for the delay - cheers to Darren at the Beast for some great service.
Anzacs and Turks sprayed up ready to paint later today hopefully
-
Arrived yesterday, a pack of Ninja, from Perry Miniatures.
Much like Zombies or Pirates, Ninja can improve any scenario. :)

miniaturicum is where i'll do my foundry shopping in the future =)
-
Big birthday purchase from Old Glory just arrived, explorers, tribesmen, chieftains and such for Darkest Africa lost tribes adventures, and a couple of packs of Foundry askaris.
What sucks is, aside from a brief check to make sure its all present and correct, I can't play with any of it yet as I have to wait until the actual day to get it officially. That's nearly a month!
Prof, can we have a "stamps foot like a five-year old" smiley?

Yes, those ones and the bearers pack and "Masked Warriors 3" too.
From what I could see when I checked to make sure they were all present and correct before they went away to be wrapped, they are nice enough. They seem to be more like the Blue Moon ranges as far as size and quality of sculpting goes, rather than the smaller OG historicals.
Hard to tell without getting them out of the packets, but they looked like what I've come to expect from OG, some nice sculpts, some mediocre, and a real game of chance with quality. I did notice that in one pack where there were a couple of doubles, one was perfect and one was covered in mould lines and flash.
Essentially, I would bank on being able to use two thirds of a standard pack's contents without having to spend ages filing, filling gaps and altering poses into something resembling human anatomy.
For the price, I reckon its worth the risk, but be prepared to put a few in the "melt it down for home casting" pile. ;)
-
I've seen the second pack painted up, they look really good. Viking, if you read this, how about sending me a pic to post?

Five pounds of metal from Old Glory 25's, thanks to their big Cowboy sale last month! Over 100 figures, (138 actually), just over $1.00 each! Mostly Old Glory, some Blue Moon, Crusader and West Wind. Also a bunch of Pirates, Old Glory and Crusader and Blue Moon's 'Streets of Chicago' box. Eclectic tastes, wot! ::) Plus a free copy of 'Cowboy Wars' and a certain 'Fat Old Man' on horseback, who bears a passing likeness to a certain Oscar-winning Western star!
Now, since I just got my Income Tax refund, what do I 'need' next? ;)
-
Got my Witchhunter! Thanks Alex!
-
I'm so blonde! Forgot to say thanks to Alex publicly for Prof! A lovely kind gesture and very much appreciated.
Its a lovely figure and I can see him beside Biggles in some WW1/Whatever lead adventure! 8)

Some more evil minions by Artizan and Pulp miniatures. Desperately needed to strengthen the villains...
-
The Bottom picutre are definately Foudnry Street violence range, at least the big lads are.
The guy with the pot on his head is he Necromunda or Babylons burning?
I can see the Mongoose Apes form the Judge Dredd game in the background
The guys in green are I think Necromunda
And it looks like you have a few mutants in their from Mongoose too or possibly the old GW Judge Dredd range
-
That group at the upper left is the House Van Saar Gang for GWs Necromunda.
-
Yep, the painted Mongoose apes are a find - as I just bought the complete range of Gangs of Mega-City One (rules and figs) from Mongoose before they closed down their miniatures ranges...
And, yes, a Van Saar Necromunda gang (need to find a few heavies, otherwise I can just use them for Future Wars/Dead walk Again - style games).
The two painted and one unpainted 'survivors/z-hunters' have me puzzled. I KNOW, I've seen the guy with the pot on his head before, but I cannot remember where ???

Can you post a bigger picture of the 3 unpainted minis on the right? The extreme right one looks a bit like a Klegg (I think that's the spelling), from the old GW Judge Dredd range.
-
Can you post a bigger picture of the 3 unpainted minis on the right? The extreme right one looks a bit like a Klegg ...
These simply look to me like the three unpainted figures from the ape gang i.e. gorilla with crowbar, orangutan with sniper rifle & gorilla in dress with shotgun.

12 of the Foundry Old West range (by Mr. Copplestone) arrived further to an Ebay win the other day. Some more Copplestone-sculpted US cavalry (purchased from a member here) arrived at the fiancée's place in Virginia the other day.
Nice to have some small metal fellas as well as herself waiting! lol
-
Yep! Just make sure she never finds out in which order you are looking forward to seeing them all...

The "two painted and one unpainted" miniatures are Mongoose Gangs of Mega City one.

Sometimes you have those days where you realize your hobby had become an addiction or at least as expensive as one.

Got the Dark Age, Copplestone, and Foundry packs from The War Store and the Chronoscope from one of my FLGS. 49 minis just short of $200. Most of these are for my Serenity RPG campaign.
-
can I trouble you for a comparison photo with a few chronoscope figures next to the copplestone?

Sure as soon as I get a chance. I plan to get these out of the blister pretty quickly so I should be able to snap a photo.

My D&P 28mm Modern French just arrived today. I'm happy with them, just some light flash on some of the figs. I do wish there were more than 4 poses available. Now all I have to do is set 'em up against my DDD Somalis or paint up my TAG Russians, and we're off to the races!

Got Gunfighter & Ramon from ebob miniatures old west reange,,
well that is the ebob old west range
They're very nice figures, ebob is a great sculptor, my only itch is that they're a wee bit thinner
(more realistic) than my foundry and artizan
but they'll look nice on the table painted and all :)
-
And, yes, a Van Saar Necromunda gang (need to find a few heavies, otherwise I can just use them for Future Wars/Dead walk Again - style games).
Em4s plastic troopers look a lot like Van saar in my most humble opinion, there may be size differences tho.. :)

I've modified my post of 13 June to show some pics of the OG Darkest Africa Chiefs & Drummers as well as the Attendants & Captives painted by one of our guys here in West Oz.

Very nice Poiter50, I love the guy on the cow. You can tell your mate thanks for the inspiration, that'll probably be the first one I paint up now. :)
And one of the attendands will make me an excellent Umslopogaas figure from Allan Quartermain. Hadn't realised that before.

I've modified my post of 13 June to show some pics of the OG Darkest Africa Chiefs & Drummers as well as the Attendants & Captives painted by one of our guys here in West Oz.
A guy in a big pot! lol I didn't realize that such a fig was actually available... a must have, I must finally get my savings out and make a combined order at Miniaturicum!!

Some days ago I received the 'SURVIVOR - the Walking Dead' pre-release minis set from Griffin... some of the shotgun wounds on the Zs are see-through lol.
I also recently bought some toy elephants in Lidl (adult + little one Dkr. 30,-) - I think they have just about the right size for a big-game hunt...

I think they are - I'm going to use them for modern zombie gaming. I'll make a pic of them, but I'm kinda in the middle of my first game of Future Wars right now... ;)
-
No worries.Was thinking of treating myself to a pack.You can never have too many zombies.I was just worried that their hands would be small???? I found this with some of the Westwind ranges in the past.(especially their SOTR and Berlin or Bust stuff).Good luck with the project!

Meanwhile:
1 Copplestone White Russian Field Gun and crew (my BoB White Russian exiles aiding a Chinese Warlord are expanding :D )
10 unidentified 2nd hand ECW models, including 7 musketeers and what look like 3 sergeants.
And - the embarrassing bit - the result of scavenging from a skip full of demolition stuff and discarded junk: a Monopoly box yielded a pile of houses and hotels (ideal for Aeronef) and the car player counter - no idea what to use this for (well, just one idea ::) ), but it won;t go to waste.

Once in a blue moon they come up on Ebay. Mind you, last one I saw there sold for $1,000 :o
-
I was going to ask if it was the recent evil-bay one that got plugged on Frothers. I have a selection of the heads but nothing more.
(it was the only mould we could find in the factory back in the late 80's)
-
No, this particular Citadel Giant isn't so well travelled as that one. Mine only travelled 150 miles or so south of where he was born.
-
Got 3 pairs of clear resin 'Predators' from Old Crow(and one in grey resin with a BIG axe... don't think I ordered that one... ::) :? ??? )

Four miniatures from Mystic Spirals, three of which were limited edition pirates, two of which were the last two he had in stock. Really got lucky there!
(http://www.mysticspirals.co.uk/Images/MysticSpiralsMiniatures1/Limited/MS_KayThePirate.jpg)

(http://www.mysticspirals.co.uk/Images/MysticSpiralsMiniatures1/Pulp/MS_FemmeFatale1_small.jpg)
I'm especially glad I got the pirate lady in the revealing dress. She'll make a perfect Zingaran heroine of the Hyborian age. I also mean to be turning that pulp femme fatale into a Hyborian age woman of questionable virtue.
These are all quite slim, small sculpts, similar to Hasslefree in style. The femme fatale has a really small head.
-
(http://www.mysticspirals.co.uk/Images/MysticSpiralsMiniatures1/Pulp/MS_FemmeFatale1_small.jpg)

I was thinking Catherine Zeta-Jones in Zorro, here... darker skin, and a weapon swap...
-
Or any female heroine in a Zorro-type setting. It really is a very versatile figure. Would make a lovely gypsy girl, too.
Shame it's a limited edition, and now sold out. I'm just glad I got one.

Ophelia Phondlewell
(http://eurekamin.com.au/images/PAXP14.jpg)
All of the above are at least 30mm or above.
Napoleon at Arcola
(http://eurekamin.com.au/images/100WFR001.jpg)
The Napoleonics are 28mm. They are a good head taller than Foundry but are a good match for the newer Perry's, if a bit heftier. Since most of the Perry's I have so far are officers, wearing tighter clothing, that may not be a fair comparison, but height wise, they're fine. Sorry, I don't have any other Napoleonic figure lines to compare. The bridge is resin, by the way.
-
As I was sitting sitting in darkness regretting that once again that I could not make Historicon and that a very good friend had just passed away at 49, I received two beautiful minis from Orctrader, Artizan's Rick and Capt "Citroen" . Rick is painted in a black tux so I think that he is not really Rick but the earlier bad boy Bogie. I had bought the William Powell "Thin Man" mini from Orctrader before and so I had to feed my 30s movies addiction. These were just as nice.
-
7 Foundry old west zombies from Ebay.
Forwarned by a thread here a few days ago that Foundry had cut the pack to 6 I jumped on these.
-
I've just got hold of the new HMG teams for GB's Turks and a Battalion of GWM late war Germans. I just need to take a month off now so I can paint them! :?
-
Received my Zombies and survivors from Griffin.
Also 10 Griffin Grey Aliens which are about to become available again (According to Mark).
-
I think I have 8-10 of those that I picked up in a bulk deal, happy to swap for something WW1 British Tropical.

Lots of figures from Bronze Age Miniatures that I'm going to use primarily as people of the Hyborian Age: Vikings which I'll use as red-haired Vanir (they have a wilder look than the Foundry Vikings that I'm using as blonde Aesir, which gives a nice contrast); Some Dead Earth adventurers which I'll use as pit fighters; Some other figures from sundry ranges which'll likewise become pit fighters, plus an adventurer or two; Finally, one of their harem sets, which are good value for money ($12 for 8 figures) and are almost obligatory for a setting like the Hyborian Age.
Too bad my paints are elsewhere right now.
-
28mm Bronze Age Harem? I can't see that on their site?

They're under "Dead Earth Imperials" in the Sci-fi range, there are two different packs. They're semi-nude and mostly in reclining poses. So basically, similar to the Hasslefree harem women, but WAY cheaper. The sculpting style is different, but not of worse quality than Hasslefree.

A platoon you say,, oh am i interested now :D

Ah, now I see, I have some of those, they are very nice. So far, they have only seen an undercoat, I might try to convince one of our better painters to do them justice.

My pal brought me back some Britannia Napoleonic Brit and French naval officers from Historicon. I was a bit leery of them from the pics on their site, but it looks like only Britannia and Steve barber make anything like them in 28mm I have to say I am quite happy with the raw castings. I hope to have them leading daring shore parties in Sharpe practice games soon!

I had a kind of lead fury this month - maybe to balance the real life foly..
So it began with a very nice lot of Old West Townies from a very smooth transaction with Skrapwelder via le Bazar : Thanks Mike !
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3168/2717594804_12b19fc1b1.jpg)
Then I recieved an Old RAFM order : I waited two months, one of the blisters was the wrong one, but Brock from RAFM was nice.
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3278/2716782207_024c5a7d25.jpg)
I wanted the Moonbeast since I saw here the one painted by FatGoblin :-* and idem for the Steve Dean's Giant Snake.
And I would like to test the FIW range to accompany my Conquest stuff : they are really on the small side, the figs are full of flash but I love them (pretty old school look !)
Then I tried the North Star Services to get at last "This Very Ground" I fancy for a long time.And on impulse, I ordered the two anarchists : very nice figs ( the mexican had a BAR !)
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3163/2716784011_21b88511ec.jpg)
And finally, because of Mancha ;), I was lucky to get one of the lasts Cossacks from the CMON deal and even more lucky to recieve them in 5 days !
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3287/2716779321_be0c1ebc94.jpg)
Now, I promise myself to post only something painted next...

PS : It was the first time I get minis in blisters, and as I found them pretty nice, I tried to share them...

Including the Werewolf figure. Utterly brilliant, best werewolf ever, IMO, and a heck of a lot bigger than he looks on the website.
Go and buy one now:

You know it makes sense. o_o

I reckon yours is the best example on the site majorsmith.

I don't know...it looks like a werewolf, but, that pose! :? I prefer this one, done by Snuurg, which does not yet appear to be available commercially. :(

Look under 'Other Monsters'.

That certainly is a kick-ass werwolf. Cool mini...
-
Not sure if this counts as a miniature seeing as it will stand 13 inches tall ;D
Martian war machine from Comet Miniatures. I've been looking for one for ages, especially since they had a cease production order due to copyright issues. It looks exactly like the one from a certain album cover...

They should have caleed ir "not the Martian War Machine."
Copyright avoided! lol
No offence meant to anyone from a company reading this.............. You know who you are.

...Including the Werewolf figure. Utterly brilliant, best werewolf ever, IMO, and a heck of a lot bigger than he looks on the website.
Go and buy one now:
http://www.heresyminiatures.com/hv018.htm...
I don't know...it looks like a werewolf, but, that pose! :? I prefer this one, done by Snuurg, which does not yet appear to be available commercially. :(

Look under 'Other Monsters'.
Where can you buy those little creatures from, love the mouse and badger etc

I got a platoon of Mongrel's VDV (soviet para's) today, my soviet collection is starting to get too big to store lol

Some of these to kick-off my Great War Project:

Pop a picture up and I might be able to identify them for you.
I would think that being in Aus they might be Eureka?

6 Quar Cavalry, lovely little scuplts, this section will be the Blues with another pack I was force (forced you hear me) will be the Royals :D
-
This is the first time I've ever contributed to this thread, but it's kind'a fun...
Two Quar cavalry, which I'd ordered a week before going on my ten-day vacation, and which weren't here when I returned, and which, subsequently, I was beginning to give up on. However, the day after I send the head zombie at Zombiesmith a querry, here they are! (Note to self: must learn patience.)
Very nice too. The "horses" are surprisingly large.
-
I just bought a box of AT43 Spetsnatz Kolossus . I am thinking of painting them up in Euro Police colors as an Zombie Containment Unit , for my Future Wars project.
I wish my Dalexs would turn up , it feels like I have been waiting months for them >:(

I let purchases get a little out of hand in July. I can justify any of these purchases individually, it's just that collectively, the combined effect is to grow the lead mountain much faster than I will be able to paint!
The 18 Indian Lancers are to add to my current 12. This is because that darned WHW Great War has me convinced that I need to field a unit of 30 cavalry. Indian Lancers were of course the best candidates for filling out, as I can use them in Palestine & Mespot, I can sort of justify putting them on the Western Front, and naturally they'll fit right in on the NWF (and BoB). The Australian Light Horse just can't match that versatility!
The sheep were picked up because I just watched Black Sheep, and need to spring genetically modified beasties on my fellow gamers in our next zombie game (hah! didn't see that coming, did ya!). Plus, they'll be handy for the next Pig Wars match between the Welsh and the Vikings.
I had to get the two big guns from HLBS - Dicke Bertha and the Mk V howitzer, and since I was ordering anyone, got Richard to throw in the beavers. I'm sure I'll come up with something useful for the little rodents to do.
I had to jump on the Rollers as soon as they were available. I've been harassing enough people for long enough to get some made that I couldn't in fairness make Brent wait for my order! Two, of course, one in green and one in tan.
Rafm's Space:1889 sale was too good to pass on, so two packs of Soldiers of the Queen (lovely figures, and the price worked out to about $1/fig) and two packs of High Martians to take them on. I actually got 21 High Martians in each pack (nice bonus). For those CoC types looking for fishmen, the Martians would be a good starting point for a conversion. The figures have a bit of a fishy look to them, so simply by giving them a blue-green paint job they would probably look the business. Just pretend that the flying models are actually swimming!
And, of course, couldn't pass on the King. http://www.rafm.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=RAF&Product_Code=RAF02827&Category_Code=RAF

Thats quite some haul you got there Will. :)

You can see the floor tiles cracking under the weight of that there table.
By the by, which company are the lancers from?

The lancers are from Brigade Games.
And ofcourse, those are just the July haul. Plenty more on the painting table!

25 x 28mm Mexicans, 3 of them painted, mix of Foundry & Dixon.

Just got my first order from Doug at EM4. Very impressed.
Superb quick delivery, excellent minis at a low cost, no flash, and ready undercoated. How does he do it? He doesn't even charge a lot for postage. Awesome, yet baffling that he can afford to stay in business these days.

Here's a fun find, I got one of those old Asterix minis from my local store that they must have found in the basement. Its one of the Britons. I can't find any more on Ebay to go with him though, they must be scarce.

They do pop up from time to time, I have more than half a dozen now including Asterix himself.

I bought a load of his painted stuff, including the Inn. I couldn't remotely paint that well, and they are so cheap.........

So i'm eager to hear how they match up to the different ranges :)

Couldn't resist it, as I noted you're an antipode to me - living quite close to Eureka by my standards lol ;)
Would love to go on an AUS/NZ trip myself, btw., but it will have to wait 'til the kids are somewhat older ::)

20 Spyglass WWII German Zombies just arrived in this afternoon's post lol
Can't wait to get home to see how they match-up with the WW ones I've already got.

I should say re-recieved. Rumaging through my leadpiles I found some nice grenadier models for BA. A female wizard and a thief/rogue with a cool eyepatch.
-
Some good news , :D I received from Black Tree two Suicide Dalexs , 2 Celtic commands and a Blacksmiths set . Also an offer of 25% off my next order to make up for waiting two months , now I hope the rest of the order (2/3rds outstanding) arrives soon.
-
Sounds like BTD are improving :)
maybe i'll dare order some stuff now :)
I got a very nice stash of old Mongrel soviets from Lowtardog today, a real top bloke!!!
rest assured they will be lovingly painted and put tio good use shooting capitalists in my TW2000 setting ;)

Got a bunch of Redoubt miniatures I'd ordered from Miniature Service Center at 75% off. Various Ottoman Turks, Mahdists, Zulus etc. that I'll be using as civilians in the Hyborian Age. Even with the shipping from the US, they were really cheap. They're of the quality that I've come to expect from Redoubt, ie. kind of gribbly but hiding some good sculpts underneath.
-
Just had a look at their website. How did you get 75% off? I don't see anything about a sale other than 50% off certain ranges until Feb 2009.
-
I didn't really look around the website that much, I just jumped on a news item they posted on TMP: http://theminiaturespage.com/news/131506/
I don't know how much stuff they have left anymore. I ordered as soon as I saw the sale (around August 19-20) and they had about 2/3 of the miniatures I wanted.
-
Thanks for that. Just sent in an email. Probably too late though.

I, and probably you, knew this already but I have to repeat that the Baluchis are really lovely and I was happy to see, which I hadn't noticed, that several of them are armed with Martinis and hunting rifles. Since I am going to use them for a 2oth century setting I am going to arm some of the jezzailers with Lee-Metfords/Enfields, Mosin-Nagats and Mauser Kar98s. Now I need to make a decision about Old Glory Pathan cavalry...

Quite tiny. Around 5 mill.
Good to hear. I've been sculpting some jars, vases, pots etc. myself out of Sculpy for my marketplace scene, but I have a tendency to make them too big. Those smaller ones are just what I need.
For some reason Miniaturicum and Battlefield Berlin sell these as a normal-priced pack (€15 and €16.50 respectively) when it's only €8.50 in the Foundry webstore.
@Hammers: I'm not planning to visit Stockholm in the next few weeks at least, so you can tuck my figures away for now. I'm not in a hurry to get them.
-
The Baluchis are really lovely and I was happy to see, which I hadn't noticed, that several of them are armed with Martinis and hunting rifles.
Really? I've never seen DA Baluchis armed with anything but matchlocks. I thought I had seen the whole range. In fact I think I own the whole range. Are there some they didn't put pictures of in the catalogue? All the ones there seem to have matchlocks too.
???

Ah. Yes. I use these names interchangeably. As I understand it the Baluchi were not necessarily ethnically so but it was rather a common name for a mix of muslims of arab-indian-swahili origin involved in the slave trade which had one of its most important strongholds on Zanzibar. (The court of Oman was once placed at Zanzibar).
-
Ah right, I get you. Quite true.
The two figure ranges are quite distinct, however, if you look at them. The "Zanzibari" ones have a much more African Arab/Swahili look to them (some of them clearly have black African ancestry), while the "Baluchis" give off more of an Arabian peninsula and Indian subcontinent vibe.
-

Quite so. I feel that can be painted away.

You have too much money if you can afford them all at once. But I must admit I was toying with the idea to get them myself. Cool selection.

My BPRD project grows like a huge growing thing...
Just got two packs of WestWind SWAT types to use as uh, well, SWAT types, and some Hasslefree goodness to bolster the ranks of the science/research division.

Dear Peder,
They are WW1 Austrians, anybody ordering WW1 guns get a couple of sample figures to give them an idea of what the WW1 figure we produce are like, as there are no pictures on the web-site.
All the best

Awf'ly nice of him. Makes me think that letting an 600lbs angry gorilla throw his weight around in here now and then actually helps a bit. ;-)

Actually the 69th were the South Lincs Regt. They had quite an illustrious career and were involved in the defeat of the Imperial Guard during the final stages of Waterloo.
I don't think they or their successors would appreciate the "Felchers" nickname :-I

6 Ghouls, 2 postboxes (and an adrift pirate for Mrs Overlord) from Black Cat Bases.
5 rock zombies, 10 rage virus zombies and 4 motorcycle cops from Westwind.
A very restrained days purchases :)

Two of the Cybermen have been decapitated as you can see, but I have their heads to pin back on. Also there are all the Doctors except Two and Five, as I already have them, plus the Brigadier. Hopefully these minis will soon be making an appearance on my 'Introducing the good Doctor' thread on the Future Wars branch.
-
15 Blights form Heresy, lovely models too and great service and delivery (even a lolly)
-
I got some stuff off em 4 miniatures.
I brought the chap with the bowler hat and the gas mask, plastic spaceships and some pre-painted aliens for my superheroes.
I must say they were swift, cheap and really well sculpted! Just have to paint my stuff up!
-
Oxiana - Great purchase! I can't wait to see them painted up!
-
Bit of an e-bay coup a GW WYVERN and General and 20 BTD Goblin archers
plus some very fast delivery from Spirit games on some Chronopia Dwarfs.
Also great servcvie from Nic at North Star - my conquest figures for my B day were one pack short due to out of stocks, I asked for an alternative which he gave me a run down and they arrived the next day :D
-
Cap'n America and ... Bucky...? Robin...? Damn, can't remember the sidekick's name....

A few Hasslefree minis. Damn, I love them so. Can't wait till December either. FOD loyalty has its perks ;).

Those are perhaps the coolest things ever. :-* Were they expensive? Are you going to expand the building fronts into buildings?
-
First I'm going to repaint the figures and then I'll look into expanding the building fronts. Waste not, want not. :)
Am at this moment in the process of painting Luke and Rantanplan (the dog). Looking much better already, even with my mediocre painting skills. ;)

Please keep us posted. This is an exciting project. I have always wanted to do the same with Asterix figs, but they are so bloody expensive.
-
I will keep posting as it goes on.
I have a lot of the Metal Magic Asterix figs and some of the Pixi ones for a future project too. Lovely stuff.
Have some of the 15mm Atlas Asterix village pieces and figures too. Although I'd like to sell those of.

That is so cool WK.. i'm really jealous :-*

I picked up a load of the new Crusader Napoleonic French on my Thursday trip to Old Glory. These are for Sharpe Practice, which I played for the first time two weeks ago and loved!

I received my order from Crusader minis ( North Star) last week. Those napoleonic are big, nice figures! 8)

Today I received reinforcments from Sandhurst to my Indian army: BG Sikh command I and the spanking new II. There are images of the first command group on their site but not the second one. It's a nice one havildar with a Lewis gun, to native officers (one with a Webley the other with a map) and one British officer in a peaked cap. I also got the two Vickers teams in hot weather gear and Wolsleys, one team marching, the other firing. Lovley.
-
More Chronopia dwarves for my chaos horde, this time some from Spirit and a couple form Prince August.
next Gamer Fest 3 and the search for some suitably chaotic dwarves - possibly Confrontation ones

Hi Peder,
There is a photo in the WW1 & WW2 thread of the new Sikh Command. Glad you like them. 8)

This week I got an order from Hasslefree, including the new Witch Hazel figure to make a Liz Sherman for my BPRD project out of, and the not-Scooby Gang, just for kicks. Lovely. :)
Also my first order from Black Hat, a bunch of paints, the Monkey Magic figure set from the Dragon Kingdoms range, a present for a certain Chimp (providing he behaves himself) and this guy:
(http://blackhat.co.uk/catalog/images/Civ8.jpg)
Originally included just to make up the order, I am absurdly happy with him. And he's huge! Absolutely massive!
He is now going to become bodyguard to my Foundry Voodoo Pimp, Baron Saturday Nite, and has been christened Noticeably F.A.T. (blame Futurama for that one). :)
Very happy. Mojo is working again. Thank you Black Hat!
-
Lots of chronopia dawarves form various means :D and some chaos head from heresy for the rest of my Perry ACW ;D
-
Got the first two Ma.K Gradiators (out of an order of 2x2 + 5 scout Ma.Ks) from HLJ yesterday.
-
1:72 Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler
28mm a few Arabs useful for both pulp and fantasy. I think from Foundry.
-
My latest arrivals are a small horde of Cold War era Soviets in winter gear from Mongrel Minis.
The whole, don't start gaming any more different periods, plan isn't going so well. But they are such nice models.
-
They are quite nice aren't they :)
I got a eureka russian today, lookl like it will fit in quite nicely with the MM line
also got some FoA vietnam special forces, very good figures:)
-
Found another source for the Lucky Luke minis and had this batch arrive:
(http://wk.frothersunite.com/misc/pics/llsept.jpg)
Had to pay full retail though (ouch) and they each came with a little booklet and a dvd with one episode of the cartoon.
And some 40mm plastic Saint Seiya minis (more nostalgia from the cartoons of my youth):
(http://wk.frothersunite.com/misc/pics/seiya1.jpg)
-
white knight:very nice stuff you got there. will you share the address of your "new" retailer, or is just a secret!
-
Man, seems like Europe gets better cartoons than us as well as better food. :)
-
white knight:very nice stuff you got there. will you share the address of your "new" retailer, or is just a secret!
Not at all, I actually got the suggestion from someone on TMP (would have never found it otherwise).
I got them through http://www.journaux.fr (http://www.journaux.fr) which is actually a source for newspapers, periodicals, magazines,...
The downside is you can't get just the figures, so you'll end up with the booklets and the dvd's (which also makes them pricey). But I had to have them and I figure that if I can place another order next month, I should have most if not all of the range.
-
More Rackham Dwarves and some Chronopia ones too :D
Oh and some of their barbarians...thats the army bar a couple of odds and ends truning up to fill out units....now all I have to do is paint them :D ;D
-
Today I received 44 pence in lose change in the mail. Oh, and there was an assortment of miniatures attached to them. A clever way to laundry illicit money by that nefarious Svennn the DH Nut.
Thanks, Svennn!
-
Today I received 44 pence in lose change in the mail.
22 tuppence-pieces for basing? I'm currently using Danish 50 øre pieces - about 22 mm if I remember correctly (plus 20 and 25 mm plywood, 25 30 and 35 mm washers, and of course the slottas for those minis made for those...). The end of the standardized base sizes has come! ;D
-
Another box with thirty-something saint seiya figs. I think I now have the whole collection except for one "secret" mini.
-
24 fireball 24 regular and 2 gladiator Maks,, fantastic :-*
run over to HLJ and buy buy buy if you haven't already :D
-
Got the last two Gradiators, and the box of 5 scout MaKs yesterday.

More Rackham dwarves, think I have fallen i love with these little chaps ;D

A package of Blue Moon's British Agents while at MIGSCON in Hamilton today. Nice minis at a good price.
-
I got a few packs of 6mm Baccus Napoleonics to play with after seeing their "Leipzig Lite" ( https://www.baccus6mm.com/index.php?content=projects (https://www.baccus6mm.com/index.php?content=projects) ) project. I think my ultimate goal will be to put on a Wagram game for the bicentennial. Not sure I can get the whole thing on a 4X4 though, probably more like a 4X6 board.

How do you like the Chiltern Sharpe and Harper? I've been eyeing them for a while.
-
Is there any chance that you could post any pics of the Thai houses?
-
They look slightly bigger (bulkier) than the Foundry & Front Rank riflemen but they will still mix in nicely. forgot to mention the 18 Foundry Roman archers as well.

I received a free sample from Miniature Service Centre in the US. It’s a Trident Miniatures 40mm AWI British Infantrymen. I would care that much normally but this figure is event bigger and better that I expected! I wasn’t going to start an other project but after seeing this one, I’m not so sure! ::)

I might try and persuade my wife to translate that as she's Thai . I've never noticed anything like that in the shops will have a look out over the next few weeks .
Thanks for bringing them to our attention.
-
I actually visited the factory/shop/house (arranged by phone from the hotel). The factory direct price was much lower than the wood carving/souvenir shop and if I'd had the dollars left I would have purchased many more. As it is 3 of them should do for my Chinese/Malay/Thai pirate village.

This weekend:
Bought from Cap'n Blood (at a bargain price):

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/1/38_27_10_08_9_27_02_2.JPG)
(Does anyone know who makes the pirate gunners and the gent at the left? The pirates look very Foundry'ish, but I could not find them...?)

And bartered from Vikotnik:
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/1/38_27_10_08_9_27_51_0.JPG)
A gift from Hammershield:
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/1/38_27_10_08_9_27_02_4.JPG)
And a gift from Green Knight:
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/1/38_27_10_08_9_27_02_0.JPG)
-
Green Knight I think :D
-
Ah! You got the Copplestone Future minis. I wondered where they went.
Myself, I had a parcel from Amazon waiting with NWF acrutements: goats, ravens, vultures, camel cadavres and a leopard
-
Yes, I think it was Green Knight, he had a Fabius Bile figure as well IIRC.
I bought this off him:
(http://www.princeaugust.ie/ebay/warzone/stygian_venom_spawn.jpg)
A Stygian venom-spawn from Chronopia. Took me ages to find it on the web, I had no idea what it was when I bought it but it looks so damn funky, a big snake/human/termite thing!
Also half of the new 40K box set from Dewbakuk. Feels like I'm 14 again, all those Space Marines. ;D

The Pirates in the first photo are certainly Foundry but the gunners look like Old Glory figures… I’m not sure though.

Don't know about the first figure (it's quite dark) but Calimero is right about the rest. They're all from Old Glory set OGP-07 - Pirate Artillery and Crew. Overall, not a bad set. I have it and most of the figures should paint up quite reasonably.
-
Yes, they're Old Glory - these were the best of a bag of 30. Same old story... sorry all you OG fans...
The figure on the left is from the West Wind Sleepy Hollow townsfolk pack...
-
12 horrorclix aliens, they are quite nice but a bit big :)

I've just prepped and based the 2 FW chicas (on washers I got from you, too lol )
The gent will make a nice civilian for pirate games - I have a boyservant holding a tray with two duelling pistols (Black Cat - not released, yet, I think) that should go nicely with him (he's obviously running for the pistols, not away(?) ;) )

Just now I received more goodies from Fighting 15's [excellent service as always - highly recommended], i.e. Eureka VSF/Pax Limpopo miniatures:
2 rattler
10 prussians with rocket packs
10 queen's skywalkers
1 mechanics for VSF
AND:
1 off QUEEN VICTORIA herself [sculpted by Victoria Lamb]!
By the way it's a nice figure, very well sculpted, alas a little large for the actual size of the queen herself!
[where are my notes I need to order Her Scottish Bodyguards!]

I can't take those Zulu War British seriously. They painted that guy on the cover to look like Fat Freddy from The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers, and that's all I can see now.
(http://blogs.citypages.com/amadzine/images/freddyxmas.jpg)
Anyway.
I just got the first figures for my fantasy Celt project form Prince August - the Monarch on his stag, the Horseman, and the Swordsman champion. Really nice sculpts, (Kev White, I believe) and should fit nicely with Celtos and the old Harlequin stuff I'm getting second hand.
Result. :D

Just got all three sets of Josef's Tangrenbu Tong Wars minis. Nice figures. Now, all I have to do is build a section of Chinatown, mix a decent Chinese skin tone and work out a colour scheme for the clothing! Ancient Chinese, I can easily reference, but 'modern'? Any ideas?
-
Oh you swine, I am green!! Mine are still on the high seas or at least over them. lol

A bag of pirate, a bag of apache, a handful of Mexican peon and a sprinkling of ACW figures from Dixons from a new FLGS that opened just recently. The owner said he was thinking of stocking Foundry stuff, which is good news postage wise.

Jade mummies, hopping vampires, terror-cota warriors, chinese heroes/gods and zombie communists from John Jenkins.

This is very odd. I was just looking at the JJD website a minute ago (after you first mentioned them) and the Terracotta Zombies etc. seemed to be back up, now that I look again, they're gone. Did you get your figures straight from JJD?

I went straight to the JJD site to look for gods/heroes but all 28mm is discontinued. I never took much notice of the zombie range but must say you piqued my interest there. Any chance of a pic at some point?
TM Terrain were selling their remaining stock off cheap at the last show I was at but did'nt have anything I needed.

Now I see what confused me. First time I checked the site a few minutes ago, I got to the "28mm Figs" page via the "Order" page. This seems to be a link John has forgotten to update.
Here's the old link:

Whereas the (presumably) current link should be:

Personally I'm not too interested in the Terracotta Zombies themselves, but the Jade Mummy and Hopping Vampires are another matter.

I've had an unusually big haul of minis this week.
Modern US Cops and Detectives from West Wind, along with SWAT types from EM4. All ready to bust some drug dealers in west Baltimore.
Another WW Opel Blitz and two Company B Kubelwagens with BAM crew for a WWII convoy ambush scenario.
A few more Terminator robots from EM4. Timetravellng killer robots are suitable for all historical periods. :)

Some more figures and accessories for my Lucky Luke town from Atlas:
(http://wk.frothersunite.com/misc/pics/llnovember.jpg)
Ma Dalton, Saloongirl, Ling Foo (chinese laundry), a tenderfoot, feathered and tarred cowboy on rail (already got the railbearers in an earlier lot), two chariots (already got the mules and driver),...
;D

As I can't go to Crisis, and as it makes me very sad, I console myself by getting The Foundry Christmas special Great War French army deal : I found in love with this minis since I saw the Red Zed's painted ones :-*
http://www.displacedminiatures.com/redzed/gallery/887/
I know the Great War miniatures may be better sculpts but I was not sure I could make them justice with my poor painting skills.
And to get free postage, I add a few blisters : The Treasure Islands caracters, DA women & children and Askari command, the last two with 8 figures.
Honestly, I have to say that the more I see Foundry minis, the more I like them. Sorry Pete !
meow,
Matt

I made a nice haul at the Fall In convention in Gettysburg last weekend. I bought some nice 6mm Timecast buildings for my new 1809 Napoleonic project and in a moment of madness I picked up the boxed set of Eureka "Wars of the French Revolution" figures. They are absolutely beautiful. I can't wait until they get more Austrians done!
When I got home I found a box with the Polemos 6mm Napoleonic starter set waiting for me also. It looks like I will be painting Napoleonics for a while!
-
Got no less than four Confrontation Vladar the Arrogants from Simple Miniatures Games today (they were 75% off when I ordered them). Been looking around for this kind of an anime-esque cloaked villain for some time now. With different head swaps I think I'll find a use for all four of them, sooner or later.

I never thought I'd be able to get any of the Alterra1 figures from France here is the U.S. but the fine folks at Recreationalconflict.com (represented by board member Wolfgangbrooks) made it happen!
I got 3 Krabs, 2 Droon and a Piker! (Wow, sounds like I may need a visit to a clinic!)
Plus a great deal on some SST Chickenhawks!
Great communication and fast delivery to! :D
Thanks Bros!

The rest of the Conquest indians and French arrived yesterday these are gong away for Xmas as my pressie.
I also hope to get my grubby hands on This very ground which a mate picked up at Warfare for me.
Other Chrimbo purchases are 2 regiments of 7YW French from Cruader - for French regulars in Canada and form Amazxon - Drums along the Mowhawk...can you guess what I will be doing over the winter :D
My Mate has the Redoubt fort which I will base and paint up for him so a bit of Last of the ... is in order I think

Doom the board game was going half price at our local comics shop, so I grabbed it.
It's not a bad game, a bit like Space Hulk or Heroquest, but it's got 60 or so cool monster miniatures, including some huge cyber-daemon things. :)

Westwind Road kill Policemen and detectives in flak vests, Musketeer not Blade and Big Kris and Pig Iron HMG and crew, all picked up at Warfare in Reading. No VSF or Horror purchases made on the day. Now that's unusual.... ;)

Pegasus 1:72? Or something more '28 mm'?

Pegasus AFAIK they don't do actual 28 mm ones but these will fit in nicely for odd ones in the jungle or plantation ones for a village crop.

Oh yes, I have a box of those, too. Just wanted to know if some bigger ones were available, now :)
-
Don't think so but these are for mix & match, I want differing heights to match my palm trees which vary from 50mm/2" high to 150mm/6" high and have other greenery around as well. I think a few will finish up on CDs but most will be individually based on washers.

Good idea. Will have to remember that. Nice to have some shrubbery to 'fill in' the landscape...

Black Hat Chinese Vampire Hunters. Absolutely top class. :-*
I have had a great idea for a mini project - Chinese Mordheim gangs, one undead, one Witch-hunters. Game play would be exactly the same, just cool alternative minis.
Need some zombies, a necromancer, some warriors and monks (or maybe warrior monks) now.
The fun just never stops! lol

Sounds like a great idea, just imagine a Morheim style Chinese Town, pure Lead Porn ;D
-
While a ruined Chinese cityscape would be the dog's favourite chew toys, I fear it would be a bit beyond my poor terrain building skills.
Given the gangs I'm planning though, I thought an abandoned temple or cemetary on the edge of town would be cool. That way all I need is a temple (possibly ruined) some walls to enclose a graveyard, and maybe a couple of outlying houses, and general funerary clutter.
I need to give this a bit more thought, as if its a mini project I don't want it to get out of hand and end up with stacks of stuff. Not that that's likely to happen.... ::)
Might have to tweak the rules (new special rules to give it a more eastern flavour, maybe) a little, but on the whole it should play just like the original game.
Fancy it for next year's BLAM? ;)

Definately something for BLAM 09. :) It would be a most original idea and a great looking game. Would you do some rules changes for Kung Fu and martial arts and eastern magic? ( I have never played Mordheim, so have no idea about the rules.)
Chinese buildings wouldn't be too difficult to scratchbuild, (foamcore, polyfilla and balsa wood would be my preferred method) Matakishi made a very nice Chinese Temple for his Boxer rebellion game. Check out his Tea room for photos and tutorial. ;)
-
Cheers for that, is there anything Matakishi hasn't built? lol
I've just mentioned a few ideas for special rules and stuff on this thread:
http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=8486.msg95805;boardseen#new
I haven't actually played Mordheim for about five years, but its a really easy system, and takes modification very well. I'll have to give it some thought.

Check out "Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires" for some inspiration. Hammer films at their 1970s wackiest... Dracula meets Bruce Lee! Hilarious, but it has a nice fight with the heroes in a deserted village attacked by the seven Vampires... ;) lol
You might find just about all you need here at Curteys Miniatures for extra figures and they do buildings as well.
http://curteysminiatures.co.uk/

Oh yeah, seen that. And Mr Vampire, Tsui Hark's Vampire Hunters, Chinese Ghost Story and about a dozen others. Jet Li's The Evil Cult is worth a watch too, but makes no sense at all.
Looks like its time to delve into the DVD collection again and refresh my memory. Oh the things I have to do for this hobby...

I was just perusing the Curteys website (to assist in your research) and the pirate captain and crew look like they would work for the basis of a warband, let alone the thousands of other figures they have. This small project of yours could escalate... ;)

I could be persuaded in the fullness of time to bring a small warband to the table. (If I knew what was needed to buy to make up a band.) I do own a number of the Monolith Chines buildings from my Boxer rebellion days, so could add those to the mix. If you planned this for BLAM 09 I reckon I could do a warband.
-
I know nothing of this Warband you talk about but I have the odd Oriental figure in my collection and could always loan you a few if it helps.
Should'nt you all be watching The Drum on the telly at the mo' though. Cracking 1938 Sabu North West Frontier goodliness.

Cool beans, let me have a think about how the warbands would go together, and I'll get back to you. You'd need no more than 12 minis, I think, maybe 15 at the absolute most.

First orders from Vendel miniatures and very pleased with the figures :
- 4 wolves : basic sculpts, very huge -as big as GW ones, but ideal models for true wargs.
- the giant bear :-* : great sculpt, it's in resin though (but it's good for shipping cost...)
& seven mastiffs :-* ;D :-* these dogs are so cute ! I'm not too keen with this expression but it's really a "must have" : very versatile minis.
And to top it off, Roland Hynd, the new owner of Vendel, is very helpful.

I've been meaning to get that bear for my fantasy norse for ages.

@ Lowtar (or Karl ? ;) )
These are exactly the ones I would like to complete my FYW force, but yours should be painted far sooner than mine :'(
Have you had the time to see the Perry indians despite "confisquation" ? How do they match with the Conquests ones ?
@ WK
Is it not huge ? Is it not mean ?

I did have to err Quality check them ::) and they are a very good match almost identical in stature etc :D
The Crusader minis are taller but the proportions are quite alike and as they will be spearate units should look good on the table.

Of course you can trust "les rosbifs" ;) starting on the Compagne Marine but painting them as Canadain Milice as suggested, the Osprey has the ideal pictures in it and is a rivetting read and great starter book on the period :D

Got a largish order from Irregular. Overall, I'm pleased that the sculpts are better-looking than most of the pictures in their website make them seem, but I think I'll try my hand at re-sculpting some of the faces.
The figures are all civilians for my Hyborian setting, mostly middle easterners and central Asians. Irregular is the only company aside from Curteys that makes Mongol civilians that I know, which was my main reason for ordering. Plus they had a belly dancer, a Coptic priest and some other nifty figures that can add a lot of colour to a Zamorian street scene.
-
10 Black Cat Tombstones figures and 5 Foundry Street Violence B team figure, part or mostly painted courtesy of Jack Hooligan on LAF. My Wild West collection is building nicely, a couple of them can even go straight on to the board.

I got:
Two Phone booths for my Bill and Teds project
Occult Investigator

Also The Eighth Doctor, I've been quite enjoying the radio adventures with Paul McGann so decided to add him to my selection of Doctors.
And Ace, bomb making sidekick to the Seventh Doctor.
-
First figures purchased in an age (I've been being good). But it's allowed as they are for an existing project.
Got some of those Woodbine Tommies with the separate heads. I put my own conversion efforts for the Dardanelles on hold when I heard they were coming out, and now I finally have some.
Ordered the Wolseley pattern helmet heads (plus a sprue each of soft and rigid caps, which will be lightly sprinkled among the troops for a bit of flavour) and some backpacks so they will match the conversions I have already made.
They do seem awfully wee. Finicky sorts will have a hard time reconciling them with existing Brigade and Copps figures in their collections, I fancy. But as you may know, I don't really care much about such things. They are clean, with next to no flash, and come with fixed bayonets (Sickers will be pleased. He hates to see a figure wasted by not having a bayonet fixed. He rightly believes they look much better). Thankfully every bayonet arrived bent but unbroken, which compares favourably with some I could mention.
Looking forward to assaulting the Turks' front door with renewed enthusiasm now. I'll see you all in Constantinople for Christmas Dinner (Turkey, of course).
-
I received the rest of my Reaper order , some more highlanders and kjord fighters and barbarians to paint up as southern kingdom barbarians for the young kingdoms side project I have going,

And rifles always look good with bayonets

You're right - I could have gotten the 'out of general distribution'-figs from there. Will do next time - on the downside, they do not list the Chronoscope figs.

- These 1/50 plastic figures that came with a Lledo diecast bus. As can be seen from the comparison with the spyglass zombie, they are close enough to 28mm to be added to a pulp/ww2 town as civilian bystanders.

He sells bundles of stuff at such a mark down from Foundry's prices, it just goes to show how much they are marked up in the first place. The only drawback is, you can never guarantee what he's going to have in and when. Worth catching him at a show, too. :)

My winnings from the Christams painting competition just turned up from Black Cat Bases - a set of their Xmas specials, a family of orangutans, a gorilla, a Chinese grenadier pirate, a crashed UFO and a very rude young lady with a surprised look on her face!
Ecclectic, you say? Moi?

Got six of Blood Moon Miniatures' new Bog Raiders (not-Fimir). I'm not into the Warhammer universe (anymore) so I didn't actually get them to use as Fimir. They make excellent monsters anyway. Also got two of their Snake Priestess, so I can convert one into a human and use the pair of them as a lycanthrope.

He looks like this Svennn:

And will serve as an alchemist for my Chinese Fantasy warband. Fits in right nice with the Black Hat Dragon Kings stuff as I believe its the same sculptor.

I had already had a look on their site. Martin Baker who also did the Curteys Chinese. He's well placed to do Chinese as I believe he spends a lot of time there with his Chinese wife? Could be mis-informed on that though.
I hope you have some of the Curteys wheelbarrows

Hi glad you like the minis, the naughty lady is a bettie page figure I got made when she died, I don't know if I will ever release her for general sale, will wait to see what feedback i get when I post her (my camera is dead, am waiting for a new one to come :-[) Anyway glad you like them and any pictures gratefully recieved.

Martin is back from China but does have an eye for all things oriental, wait till you see what he has done for us :o

After surviving a short but intense bout with the flu and a heckuva quarter/year end process at work, I decided to celebrate with some AT-43 UNA stuff and a fistful of Recreational Conflict's new crabs. I've already thinking up a pulp scenario of mutant crabs on a lost island.

What about "a very rude young lady with a surprised look on her face"? Doncha wanna see her?
I think I would have a need for 2 at least from Oz! :P

Couple of WF Old West packs - 'Trail Crew' and 'Absaroka Mountain Men'. Nice figures but I wouldn't want to get in a fight with the one they call 'Wee Jamie Swanson'. He's huge! 35mm from the bottom of his feet to the top of his head!

From a trip to Vancouver's Imperial Hobbies, the closest full-blown FLGS:
One pack of four Copplestone Gangsters (because guys in suits with guns can be used for many, many things), one DeeZee Miniatures Smilodon (Pouncing) (because 600+ pound cats are fun) and one Rattrap Productions pair of Lost World Explorers (because somebody needs to be dumb enough to go smilodon-hunting!).
I'd never heard of DeeZee before; turns out they do a range of prehistoric post-dinosauric animals, sold thru Wargames Illustrated magazine's shop: http://www.wargamesillustrated.net/shop.asp All sorts of entertaining beasties to hunt or be hunted by there!
The Rattrap figures are SHORT! They're pretty much true 25mm instead of 28mm figures like the rest of my pulp stuff, which is a bit of a problem. The solution: that old standby, teenagers causing trouble/solving crimes/generally meddling! The Evans Twins On Safari! Lost Worlds With Dick And Jane! See the new serial every Saturday at your local cinema! Etc etc etc. They're nice scuplts, very clean casts, but really seriously small to be believable as grownups in a 28mm world!
-
All of the Offensive Miniatures US paratroopers - swapped for Foundry ACW figs.
They are an interesting mix. About 1/3 are perfect miniature men, almost scale models rather than 'gaming' figures. The next 1/3 are good but have slightly awkward poses, nothing that you'd notice when painted. The last 1/3 (possibly a bit less) are definitely awkward. Too short in the legs or too long in the body and definitely un-naturally posed. I'm not too worried because they can be reworked with little fuss to correct any real excesses but they definitely stand out.
I'm not sure what the circumstances were, but I can imagine that the sculptor might have had a pretty serious deadline on these. As I've mentioned, however, the best of them are outstanding!
Oh ... and the BAR gunners are a complete waste of metal unfortunatley :?. I wish that manufacturers wouldn't include them in US paratroop units (especially for Normandy-clad troops). One minor equipment note too. There are lots of bandage packs strapped to helmets here. If you are doing the 101st then you might be interested to know that this practice was banned because it was believed to increase the soldiers silhouette. They can easily be removed or alternatively it looks as if the 82nd wore them quite a bit.
In short- recommended but try to see what you are buying. The current 'squad' packs are not very friendly in this regard and I hope that they will adopt a 'four to a pack' approach sooner or later. I'd definitely get more.

10 Late War Grenadiers from Artizan. All with kar98's.
-
I just received a crapload of Warhammer fantasy chaos miniatures! :)
-
First four of two dozen of HLBS' really cool 28mm dinosaurs: two Trodons, one Styracosaurus, and one Pachycephalosaurus.
The Trodons are about man-height but much lighter; the Pachy is about six foot to the shoulder and seven or so overall (in scale) and the Styracosaurus is a brute - eight+ feet high along the back, higher than that if you count the 'horns' of the neck frill.
The smaller dinos are one piece with integral bases; the Styraco is three pieces - resin body & tail, metal head. I'm going to have to excavate my pin vice and practice pinning to get this one to stay together. The tail/body join is going to need a bit of putty to be seamless; the head/body join might, but the neck frill might hide the join enough - we'll see.
Looking forward to the Compys, Velociraptors, and others in the second half of the order!

Hello from a newbie, anyway to this site. Scarab Austrian stormtroopers. Not bad but bloody big hands and sway backs. Could be the start of an interesting range. There done it first post.

Hello Hamrock! :)
Well, busy weekend and a haul from the York show, came home with;
Black Hat Miniatures Dragon Kings temple guardian, wizards and warrior princesses, as well as a full set of the new Shattered Isles halfling militia - which are bloody lovely by the way.
Curteys chinese rabble and peasants, but not the scribe as they'd sold out. Grrr. These minis look lots better than on the website. Great stuff. may have to order some more.
Golgo Island martial artists, characters, boiler suited minions, and the Alpha Zorgl by Bob Olley and the transvestite Hitler by Tom Meier, all from ERM. Stupid fun, utterly brilliant.
A huge haul of Foundry Orclings from Dave Thomas. I don't know how he stays in business, his prices are so low!
Blue Moon rocket men from Old Glory UK - again, much nicer than pictures would lead you to believe.
Ironclad VSF Naval boarding party and tank commander, and placed an order for a steam tank that they'd sold out of. Lovely friendly people, will certainly do business with them again.
A couple of bits from Old Crow too, some temple dog statues and a sampan for Chinesey games.
Phew, think that's the lot. There could have been so much more though. One or two "D'oh!" moments in the car on the way back as I realised I'd meant to go back for a couple of things and then forgotten.
Right, time to get busy! ;D
-
An impressive Haul there JB. Looking forward to seeing all the China goodness and of course your VSF purchases in due course. :)

I got a load of West Wind/Old Glory Cowboy Wars figures from a friend over the weekend. Both packs of banditos, both pack of rancheros, and a pack of Arizona Rangers. It looks like I will have a nice gang of Mexican bandits in our upcoming campaign. Now I just have to get painting and brush up on my horrible Mexican accent!

Got the second half of my HLBS 28mm dinosaur order last week, finally picked it up today. Lovely beasts!
The Mongolian Raptors are especially nice - the stalking, skulking poses remind me very much of the raptors in the first Jurassic Park movie!
The Compys are neat too - tiny things about dog sized. One of them is kind of cute - good thing they come in a pack of ten!
I mostly got smaller dinos, as the larger stuff (T. Rex, stegosaurus, etc) is fairly easy to find in plastic toy dinos in roughly-28mm scale, but all the models of raptors and such I've seen in the plastic toy lines are far too large to work in scale.
Hopefully someone buys the molds of these lovely lizards off of HLBS when the stop making them later this year! o_o

Last Week:
A very long overdue painting consignment from Fernando: Mexican War Mexicans, War of Spanish Succession Austrians, and War of Spanish Succession Prussians. Paint jobs are very nice, where they bothered to follow my instructions. Several of the WSS figures were broken, obviously by being ripped from their painting sticks, but of course, they claim they were broken "when they arrived" (you'd have to see them in the flesh to be certain, but it's fairly obvious by casual inspection).
Today:
My order of Eureka Aztecs and Conquistadors. Very. very nice. Of course, I do have to paint these;) Only one objection - none of my Jaguar Knights seem to be wearing their head coverings, so I got all the bare-headed variants for those or ended up ordering Suit wearing priests instead of Jaguars and just haven't realized it yet; they are still exceptionally nice figures. Hope to have an update on my Aztec-Conquistador Project topic soon.

More for CIC:
14 (2 packs) Ral Partha wolves. Somewhat bigger than expected...

The new WW1 command and Lewis gun packs and some of the BUF packs from Musketeer bought at Penarth. Really lovely. Aso a GWM early-war Vickers and crew and a section pack of British from Woodbine.
Finished the painting on the various "army" types last night - just got to do the bases and varnishing now. The BUF are undercoated black and that's as far as I've got with them. Will do them as my next batch along with the assoted police figures I bought at Warfare.
Glad to be back in the mood for painting after all my problems of the past couple of years.

A very nice selection of figures. zendarian slayers are very nice figures ideal for VSF themed era. My two Zendarian armies are based around these figures!
for the czarists boduguard: nice figures,too. They can expand the Romanov sets . What I think, they are not made to field large units from them. Only small gangs. You may also add some Artizan's cossacks , too!

I bought a packet of Zombies from Hunt Miniatures (3). Unfortunately I realised they were big but when I got them home and measured them they were 33mm to the eye . They tower above my Rage Zombies but I guess they would fall into the normal range of human dimensions and Zombies look odd anyway so should mix in ok.

Some more doubles from the Atlas Lucky Luke range, for conversion purposes.
And two sets from the Pixi Lucky Luke range, to expand the Atlas range:
Cowboy and herd:

Taking some advantage of my 20% reduction coupon from Foundry, I ordered few from them.
Prussian Musketeers (7YW), 1 unit of Natal Policemen and few paints to compliment my sons ranges.
-
Nice surprise today... it came really quickly!
A Redoubt Enterprises English Captain from the Victoriana range... the one holding the pistol in a haughty stance. Great looking figure!

A selection of Foundry Victorian ladies from our very own Svennn the DH Nut (thanks again!) and the full set of Copplestone Darkest Africa Naval Brigade figs from Ebay for £15. Damn pleased with that price. :)

How come I can never find anything good on evilbay :'(

Cheers Malamute, it appears the downward slide into VSF is easier than I thought. lol
It was completely by chance Mac. I was gonna buy them anyway but was looking for something else on t'eBay and just happened to spot them.
Quite intrigued by your hints about the LPL though...
-
I put a tentative bid on them Naval types myself but didnt have a proper use for them. Probably just meant you paid more for them ;D

Foundry Boer War Imperial yeomanry 26 troopers & 2 officers - to be used as either Mounted Infantry or Cavalry in East Africa. With what I already have, I can mount a complete GW GW squadron.
6 WF Roman Engineers with 2 pack horses and 2 wheelbarrows, all painted. Just need to remove them from the diorama base to make them game usable.
-
I just received the Obelisk Tong fellows that Orctrader painted up and posted a couple of weeks ago. They look better than the photos he posted and will soon be involved in nefarious actions throughout Borneo and Sulawesi. Yup, they are BAD!!!
-
Brigade Games Sikh Command II plus the whole brand new range of austrians. Love them! Thanks to Lon for superfast delivery (3 days from the US to Germany!!!)
-
I broke my Foundry embargo and got a couple of packs of Askari characters for Darkest Africa. It try not to, but they're so nice...
Also, I'm sure I remember the Big F saying they were reducing the number of figs in a pack, but every time I order, I still get eight, even though it only shows six on the webstore. :D

Greetings
The Hostage/Terrorist set from Offensive Miniatures

Haven't bought much straight fantasy in ages, but just received:
all of the Black Hat Kev Adams goblins
2 packs of Black Hat halflings
1 pack of Black Hat Dwarves
the New Olleys Armies dwarf world releases
-
Gripping beast /MoFo African Militia Deal 28 modern africans + 2 packs of modern mercenaries :)

I recieved two sets of Zombies from Studio Miniatures , took ten days for delivery . 8) I also have the free figure. :-*
-
A couple of OOP 40K Ogryns. Goes well with 5150...!!
-
I'm back from Cold Wars with new toys. I wound up with ten of the Pontoonier Ghurkas by Mr. Hicks even though I really have little use for them. They are beauties and the pack attacking with kukris is especially nice!
I also bought the new release of Eureka "Wars of the French Revolution" figures, French grenadiers. The vignette of the grenadier rifling a wounded comrade's cartridge box is well done.
I also picked up two more of the Blue Moon wagons for terrain and objectives.I took so many painting comissions I'm not sure when I'll get a chance to paint any of it sadly.
-
4 Komodo dragons from Amazon miniatures
-
More IDF from Mongrel, 30 figures.. :)
-
Received an order from Perry miniatures.
Crew for my Aeroneff -
Two packs of Black watch.
I was supposed to get a gardener gun and navy crew but instead I received some normal British infantry even though I paid the extra for the gun.
I have sent an email and I am now waiting on a reply.
The figures themselves are very nicely detailed but they will require a lot of work before they can be painted. There are a lot of flash lines and bits and pieces to be removed. The scabbard of the officer’s sword is also bent but it looks moulded in that position and will have to be cut from the leg before I can straighten it. They were also not very well protected in the boxes with all the bayonets severely bent and in some cases the rifle severely bent as well. When straightened I am not sure how long they will last as gaming pieces.
Over all not that impressed with the service but nice figures.
-
Changed my mind about the service.
Received a very quick reply and the missing pack is on its way and I get to keep the British Infantry. Don't know what to do with them?
I forgot to mention that the original order came with two plastic British infantry as well, very nice. But again no use for them.
-
Reaper 'Fire Giant Queen' by Werner Klocke. Amazing figure. She's for a Goliath PC in a D&D 4E game I am running.
Reaper 'Boris the Evil Warrior', for the same game. This is for my 9 year old son who, when asked what he wanted for his PC replied "A big sword and he needs to look evil, even though he isn't" :P
Artizan Jeep. I am hoping to get both jeeps painted up, along with some 'away from the front line' vignettes for a competition.
Various Artizan artillery crewmen for the same project.
-
9 Black Tree Doctor Who minis - the 7th and 8th Doctors, some 'late' Cybermen, and three companions - Sarah Jane, Grace, and Ace. Ordered three months ago, various chaser emails sent, and there were still six minis missing!
Also, a GW chainsword for a conversion project from ace LAFer Keeper - arrived 24 hours after he said he'd put it in the post. Now that's what I call service!
-
Ordered three months ago, various chaser emails sent, and there were still six minis missing!
I've read a lot of not so nice things about their service. I think I'll keep my business elsewhere.

Perry's service is amazing. One more day goes by and I have the missing items from my order :)
Gardener gun and crew. very nice.

My first ever order from Pulp Figures: 5 Mad Scientists.

Two packs of Empress miniatures and some heads. Wish I'd ordered more of the latter.
-
Both lots of Copplestone KGB Men and Offensive Miniatures' Terrorists/Hostages set. The two are totally incompatible, to my disappointment.

Why? is it a height difference?
-
It's an interesting one... they're both roughly the same height (very roughly) yet the sculpting style is so different! The OM figures are a lot more slender, and probably better proportioned. 1 or 2mm taller and the CC figs just bulk out a lot more.
I shall put up comparison pics actually!
They're all lovely figures, but they both go under the "28mm" category. Very confusing...
-
A selection of Spinespur miniatures. Filthy little creatures.....
-
2 boxes of Celts and a box of British firing line from Wargames Factory.
-
An ENTIRE Army of the Undead.... :o
in 6mm by Irregular lol

Both boxes of Studio miniatures zombie mobs, 16 figs plus the special goerge romero inspired mini. Each mob comes in it's own special vhs plastic case. Only a week from Old Blighty to Oz. Awesome!!!!
-
My postman seems to have received an order of Hasslefree hostages that I was expecting :-[
-
Some Dixon Wild West accessory items, including a piano that will get a Lucky Luke themed player to replace the normal one.
And some viking children from the same company.
-
Thanks to Skrapwelder via the bazar,
6 Kallistra pygmies & 6 Kallistra boar riders : great minis (and very smooth deal).

The latest Conquest releases showed up this afternoon. Just in time to be the basis of one or more LPL entries! :)
-
I got my Combat Stress Charity figure today. Nice sculpt. I got two of them. One might end up as a statue maybe somewhere in France to commemorate the fallen British soldiers of WWI. The other i'd like to build into a little diorama I have in mind.
-
A few more Pixi Lucky Luke figures to be stripped and repainted:

Some goodies from Hot Lead in Stratford Ontario today. Smaller than Salute, but a top notch gaming event.
- 2 Packages of Yeti Hunters from West Wind (excellent for VSF Ghurkas)
- Some Vampire wars hounds and handlers (only a buck!)
- One Colonel Edward Tichner from Reaper Chronoscope
- A games day Chaos champion from a few years ago - the one with the wood elf dangling in the air - Anyone interested? Not my cup of tea anymore, but it was a price that I couldn't refuse.
And last but not least, the excellent Horace "Action" Jackson from Chronoscope. Love this figure. Can't wait to paint him up, once I figure out a paint scheme.
Excellent show. Enjoyed seeing Sterling Moose and Ricco in the flesh again.
-
15 BTD Doctor Who minis very cheap from eBay. A right old mixed bag - half of the First Doctor's companions, the baddies from Talons of Weng Chiang (very happy with those!), and various minor one-off characters. Oh, and Leela in her leather leotard...
-
Back from Triples having parted with cash with these vendors (in the order I found them)
Black Scorpion, Iron Clad, Gripping Beast, Redoubt & Museum.
I'd tell you what they were but if I did I would have to kill you - LPL you see ;D
Spent twice what I intended but hey it was my birthday on Friday. :D
-
Various minis (mounties, trappers and animals) from the HLBS Great White North range.
Haven't counted them into my mini (not-so) balance, yet.... :?
-
Recieved a little parcel from Gripping Beast : the 2 TWDC special sets and a Moor leader. A little flash on the Moor (old mold ?) but the others are wonderful figs :-* (Bill's sculpts are little bit taller than Soapy's though ;) )
meow,
Matt
-
I got an order from EM4 today :) a mix of Robots , cops and corporate guards . All nicely cleaned up and undercoated for a very reasonable price .
-
Got the Beaverette with two crew from Stronghold. Thought this might be fun for a "very British Civil War" group.
-
Wish Stronghold would supply the 2 orders I have submitted over the years (and never received!!) 11
-
Grandad and Winston Churchill with MG from Amazon.
-
Wish Stronghold would supply the 2 orders I have submitted over the years (and never received!!) 11
Didn't have any problems with mine, despite his interesting "homeless" status. He sent a sample of his Japanese infantry as well. Wish he'd finish the command group. :(
-
Both sets of Studio Miniatures zombies and Cole - absolutely beautiful, if a little small (I'm always surprised how small true 28s are) - a few of the more sticky-out parts were bent, but easily fixed.
Also, some freebies from the front of various magazines from a venture to the newsagents at lunchtime (some 1/72 US paras and a 15mm... something, on a horse, iirc)
-
An order of TAG Vietnamese and NVA bought from EBAY arrived yesterday :D plus a few US figures. :-*
-
A large assortment of CTV (Italian troops) for the Spanish Civil War. Anglian miniatures, via Brigade. These are easily the most beautiful SCW miniatures I've seen in the flesh. They paint up beautifully, and easily. Remind me very positively of another favorite range, Bob Murch's Pulp Miniatures. (Although, to be quite frank, Lon's own ranges are pretty smashing too.)
My only objection is that not all of the Anglian stuff is currently carried stateside, which is a real downer, as some of the Anglian vehicles are just absolutely perfect!
I've also acquired the Brigade Games Ford Armored Car for ACW 1935, and the Force of Arms CV33 for the SCW. Both beautifully cast pieces. The Ford is a bit fiddly to put together, and could use some instructions. The CV33 has no instructions, but for better or worse I'm intimately familiar with the vehicle, so, it was a breeze to put together. A nice thing with both models is that they have clear guide holes, and areas to line up tracks, accessories, etc, which is a great leap forward for resin stuff.
I would dearly like to get my hands on that massive Somua Naval truck from Nigel, and I may just order direct from the UK to get it.
Also, got the fantastic Vickers Medium from Copplestone. What a beaut, as expected from Mark. And fast as lightning, too! Will be using this for ACW 1935 when I get round to painting my constitutionalists.

6 Foundry Wild West foot

And one parcel to collect when i am home early enough! It really is a pain working 80 kilometres from home. :(

My tiny order from Ironclad turned up this morning, one delectable Mina Harker and a pack of Victorian gentlemen with sporting guns.
The gents are really nice sculpts, very little extraneous detail to get bogged down with and should paint up quickly and cleanly.
As for Mina, well most of it has been said before, but bears repetition of one word: Gorgeous. :-*

Although I live in the USA, I recently ordered direct from Anglian. At the current exchange rate, it turned out to be less expensive to order direct. (However, it may be the case that Lon has since lowered his prices a bit.)
-
Today I received 4 WWII characters from Artizan's Thrilling Tales range (Privates Kineer, Miller and Burton and Sgt Major Williams). Full of character, and even better than they look in the photos on the website. Plan on using these with the Incursion Ape suits and some other WWWII and converted figures in an Incursion-style tile game. Possibly using Space Hulk tiles, possibly trying out the Incursion rules.
Also got a set of 3 Major Maxims heroclix cheap from ebay for the same project. About 7 to 8 foot tall in comparison with the other WWII characters, but thats ok. He needs to look intimidating. :D
Lovely "big baddie" figure.
Might convert one for use as a commissar with my Praetorian Imperial Guard army for WH40K.

Glad to hear ordering from direct worked for you, Mancha. I have mixed results with overseas ordering direct from time to time. What did you get from him? Are you satisfied with the pieces you have?

I'll try and get a couple up over the weekend if I'm able.
On looking at them properly, it occured to me if you gave three of them appropriate hats, you could use them for anything from late Victorian to 1930s. Could bulk out some ECW3 militias with them.

Got the Guardia Civil. Love 'em. Wish I'd ordered that crazy Anglian armored truck as well. Anyone who plays a post-apocalyptic game (a la Mad Max) should be ashamed of themselves if they don't have that truck!

34 Foundry Gladiators
Chiltern Mins Gods & Goddesses plus Vampire Pack II - talk about Heroic 28s!! Enormous.

Heresy ghouls thanks to Geckilian, and Brunel & Trixie from Ramshackle. On the Ramshackle front, I was pleasantly surprised to find a free postcard when I opened my package (I've been looking for a cool postcard so I can make a 28mm billboard), but was even pleasantlier surprised to find some freebies, and Brunel cast in metal rather than resin! Many hearts fluttering their way to Curtis (who was also nice enough to put up with my random questions via pm)
-
20mm RIC (Black & Tans) in Tam O Shanters, British Infantry in steel helmets, and armed civilians. Oops, little bit of politics! - All figures from RHModels (thanks to Keeper for suggesting the supplier to me). They'll be used for Early 20th Century Pulp! games, but could do nicely for 1938ECW as well.
-
Not sure if this counts or not, but I got a dozen of Flashing Blade's 40mm Napoleonic Portugese. I say I'm not sure if it counts because they belong to a friend of mine, I just get to paint them. ;D They are a nice match for the Perry and Sash and Saber stuff he already has, although I think the anatomy is just a bit off on a couple of them (legs appear to be a tad short).

A timely Round 10 find, if you're doing the LPL. :)
-
Three packs of Great War Miniatures Late WW1 Germans (http://www.northstarfigures.com/shop/greatwarminiatures/germanforces19171918/index.html) - yes, these were supposed to be my Round 1 LPL3 entry, for the bonus points. As is, they're two weeks too late - North Star was out of stock of two of the three packs I ordered back on the 20th of March! Rotten luck, but North Star was good about email communication to let me know what was going on.
They're big 28mm, which is good, as all my existing 28mm is Pulp Figures, Copplestone & Artizan, all on the larger end.
They're destined to join my inter-war pulp forces, so the paintjob will be only approximately historical. Purists will no doubt be horrified.
The sniper pack is neat - the standing sniper in facemask is destined to become one of my pulp villains - really, what else can you do with a figure with a steel facemask, big cape, and scoped rifle?
The two prone snipers are actually cast with their scenic base, partially. The waist & legs of each figure are cast onto the base, the torso/head/arms/rifle are a seperate piece. Some putty might need to be applied carefully around the waist to get a seamless join.
Nice clean figures, with a bunch of fine casting tags here and there but few if any visible mold lines on first inspection. My one minor complaint is that North Star used a very, very small box to pack these figures, so they were in very tightly and as a result, a number of rifle or SMG barrels are bent slightly and will need careful straightening.
-
Just got back from the Warrior Bazaar show in bolton. I got myself a box of the perry British infantry and the Companion miniatures light infantry and Riflemen command packs. I realised when I got home that the riflemen pack contained a light infantry officer instead of a pointing rifles sergeant meaning I have a duplicate but the figure in question is my favourite of the bunch and being as I'm using them for the War of 1812 I can just give him a different hat, paint him blue and stick him in the American ranks.
I wasn't intending to start the War of 1812 but I've just got a new job and had the money burning a hole in my pocket. I tried to justify it to myself with the fact that I already have a lot of indians for FIW thinking 'if you start this period you're actually saving money because you already have a load of stuff.' I'm only kidding myself.

Another 3 SST Grizzly Exosuits. These things are fantastic.

The postman arrived while LAF was down. Now I have 34 Castaways Pathans on foot, another 10 on horses, plus 32 Old Glory Indian Infantry to face them. As a bonus, the paint set from Foundry arrived, too! Now all I need to do is convince our purchaser to go to the bazaar and pick up the more mundane hobby supplies (he will no doubt think me mad when I ask him to get primer, CA glue, a sheet of foam core, PVA glue...). It is quite a nuisance when you can't run to the shops on your own.
-
A bunch of Artizan sky pirates and the German navy captain, also by Artizan, to fly the zeppelin of course
-
Some mounted Mahdists, British Officers and Journalists from Perry.
Some French Askari from Eureka.
And various FFL bits from Dixon.
All for my never ever ending colonial collection (with which I’ve yet to have a game)...
-
I just got my set of Hostages from Hasslefree . :D

Some OOP Bob Olley sculpted clan war mobbing goblins. When my pack of goblin chuckers arrives next week (I hope), my collection of these will finally be complete. Some doubles will probably appear in the bazar of obscurities in the near future.
A pack of OOP clan war geisha's. ;D
Some OOP 7th Sea swashbuckling figs. Lovely, lovely sculpts. Some I don't need will make an appearance in the bazar of obscurities.

-
I recieved this lot from Noble Knight Games last week ( the 4th june exactly, just for my birthday)
excellent services from them : I tested the cheapest shipping costs and it took 16 days to arrive.
Initially, I would like to order a recently OOP set which I covet for too much time : you could see them in the LPL tomorrow.
The following was just "bonuses" because either they were cheap (the Reaper wolves or the chtulhu packs) or they were great opportunities : the WW cossack to complete my collection and the two Ravenloft figures because I can't miss them : they are so great :-*

I'm excited about the Hillbillies! I have the two sets of Hillbillies from Bluemoon. Do you? If not, could you at least post a shot of the Inkerman Hillbillies against a pulp fig by Westwind or Murch? I would appreciate it very much, as I'm interested in ordering all three sets from Britannia.
Thank you.

Got these two excellent zombie minis from the Lead Bones Miniatures range. They will work well for the WW2 period as zombie civilians:
The skewered vicar (the cross slides into his chest):
(http://recreationalconflict.lusagi.com/leadbones/full/zomb02.jpg)
The nun:

From here: http://recreationalconflict.lusagi.com/leadbones.html (http://recreationalconflict.lusagi.com/leadbones.html)
Very pleased with these.
Also got some of the Wargames Factory plastig zombie sprues to use as conversion fodder. They are not as bad as I feared based on reviews, but I can see why people wouldn't like them. Hands are tiny, detail is ranging from ok to really soft in places and the heads aren't very good (imo). As I'm looking to use bits and pieces as conversion fodder with other bits and greenstuff, it doesn't bother me too much.
-
More Napoleonics :)
-
Blue Moon Manufacturing Duelists - very nice
Some Foudnry Inca from e-bay
and the new militia and a squad fo BUF from Bill at Musketeer
-
2 zombie kids from Zombiesmith (I'm restraining myself, you see..)

Spurred by White Knight's purchase, I visited Recreational Conflict, where I got:
1) the old HBLS Canadian Mounties (which are HUGE minis)
2) a matchingly huge Ramshackle mini, Admiral Leopold Horatio III
3) the Lead Bones zombie surfer (my first zombie, but all alone for now)
4) and from Rattrap, Kip Kincaid and Sarah Litmus.
All really nice minis although, as I said, the Mounties and Leopold are giants.
-
3) he Lead Bones zombie surfer (my first zombie, but all alone for now)
And Reaper's Chronoscope range has a male surfer ;)

All really nice minis although, as I said, the Mounties and Leopold are giants.
And the Rattrap figures tend to be almost true-25mm, small figures! At least the Rattrap "Lost World Explorers" are; I've statted them out as teenagers because next to my Pulp Figures/Copplestone figures they're really too slight to be believable as adults.
Besides, everyone knows teenagers get in trouble even more often than adults - perfect scenario fodder!

Some Monolith/Graven Images Twisted Toys - you can thank Orctrader's LPL entry for inspiring that particular purchase. 40mm scale, but standing about 20mm, so a good fit for 'normal'. And 48 hours from enquiring if they had stock to the minis arriving at my door. Excellent!

26 Blue Moon Manufacturing Cowboys (or "Western Personalities" if you prefer)… can you guess what I’m going to put to sell next on the Bazaar? ;) lol

Via RLPBS:
Copplestone's Dinosaur Hunters - four guys in safari kit, three of them with Large Serious Rifles.
Dazed Miniatures Attack Dogs, two very large canines with attitude. Will be appearing as the sort of dogs you'd use to hunt the last part of the order:
Dazed Minis Dinofelis, or "Dirk Toothed Man Killer" - a sabre-toothed tiger relative without the huge sabre teeth, but with (one assumes) all the rest of the entertaining features.
(http://www.rlbps.com/dazed/mjune09/mjune09001_edited.JPG)
I've got one of Dazed's Sabretoothed Tigers already, so the Dinofelis will likely have some company whilst hunting unsuspecting adventurers...

-Tyranid Carnifex
-Necron something or other with an orb in his hand (aka, I don't know what it is, just looked cool and good piece for practicing non-metal metal painting)
-A few Future Skirmish figs from EM-4

The whole collection of Gangsters from Brigade Games (one of each blister available). Nice figures… and my very first Paul Hick’s sculpts. :D

(http://wk.frothersunite.com/misc/pics/buy07194.jpg)
-
They qualify. Nice find!
-
Nice dinos! Typical uninformed packaging, though. From what I can make out, you've got a Trike and an Allosaurus. Not exactly neighbours, being only about 80 million years apart in time! Of course, in Pulp, that's no barrier.
-

-
A load of shockforce Vengequan minis in trade from Driscoles (so at least I didn't really spend any money on them ;) ).
These will make excellent scifi native americans for use with Rattrap's new Space Cowboy setting (which I'll also need to get). :D
And a load of separate Weird WW2 US heads from the Incursion ape models. After I asked about them on the SOTR forum, Jim kindly offered to all who wanted to order them as a temporarily offer. They're three for a dollar. ;D
These will be great for conversions. :)
And finally the Game Mastery "Throne of the Gorilla King set". These will be great for use with Tarzan. ;D

Harder than I thought Helen I think by doding an elite unit with the chequer pattern could have been a wrong move. I am ok dong one or two but try and get 24 the same and it is a nightmare. In the end I have compromised and made the checks rather larger so I can keep them looking similar. The clothing is done but put me off. I iwll go back and have another bash in a week or so.

Good luck as I'm looking forward in seeing them when you are finished. Perhaps as you say painting one or two at a time whilst working on other units maybe the way to go! I don't know until I start myself.

Just got several sets of Sash and Saber confederates and union infantry from a trade with a friend. These are from their 28mm range and they have a heckuva lot better detail than the stuff I used to game with (back in the old days). Figured it would be a good jumping off point for getting back in the swing of things.
Also picked up a few Reaper dwarves and asst stuff.
-
3 Micro Daleks for a CR3 skirmish project and a metal chaos terminator for marine vs marine games in Space Hulk.

Recieved a nice group of minis from Bronze Age. I started off with 7 generic female figures that will be converted into thralls for a friend's vampire bloodbowl team. In addition I picked up a few figs that I've been wanting for a while but haven't had a reason to order.

I've long planned on doing a harem scene for a Flashman type adventue, and these are beautiful minis that are much more affordable than the Hasslefree equivalents.
Excellent customer service, btw. Dave was in contact several times letting me know the status of my order. Highly recommended!

Well not sure if this is the right place to post this but here goes.
I got three new sculpts from Paul Muller yesterday and they are amazing as usual with Paul's work.Here is a sneek peek at one of them.
(http://i552.photobucket.com/albums/jj336/manicminer21/Gaaas.jpg)
It would be nice to know what you think and what he would fit in with.
-
Jesus, Muller's disturbing. Great work, of course. Not sure what he'd fit in with. I assume you've posted this over at Frothers?

(http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb155/GrunterPulpit/Halflings/Mystery2.jpg)
They size up quite nicely with GW and Grenadier, so I'm happy, and they only cost me £8 for 30, so I'm even happier about that! :D
-
I think I've seen them on frothers ages ago, but don't remember anything else.

Blue Ice Miniatures
Really? Can't say I've ever heard of them before. Thanks for the info though. :) I'm asssuming they weren't around for long, for some reason?
-
New one on me and they are not even on the manufacturers list over on PMT.
-
Whiffwaff over on Frothers has just confirmed that they are Blue Ice, currently with a new owner who hasn't re-released them yet. Apparently came out in 2003/4 then disappeared.
But yeah, completely new to me too. I'd be interested in seeing if there is anything else in the range for them, or if they are just going to be an afterthought like most halflings.
I'm thinking of painting them like Celts. Wild, northern halflings, down from the glens.
One day... ;D
-
Well, more info on the owner of the range here:
http://frothersunite.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=11375&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=blue+ice&start=0 (http://frothersunite.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=11375&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=blue+ice&start=0)
-
Thanks for that, quite a varied bunch of stuff there, some quite nice, some not so good. Hopefully these ones will paint up ok. And if they don't, there's about 150 others they can hide behind. lol
-
For unknown reasons, I spent a moment doing detective work concerning this Blue Ice / Dark Sphere stuff.
Looks like the halflings were either sculpted or at least produced by Louis Simpson, also known as Rainbowdodge on eBay. He had a web shop called Wargames Dungeon, and he used that as a nickname on Da Warpath forums in 2004. The halfling masters were finished in February 2004, painted and ready for selling through his store. Then he had some trouble (http://z3.invisionfree.com/Orc__Goblin_Warpath/index.php?showtopic=100&view=findpost&p=181455), whereafter both the eBay and WargamesDungeon activities ceased. The domain was caught by a squatter in 2005 or so, and expired entirely in 2006.
Busy fellow, if he really managed to do that all already before reaching his twenties.
I don't know why the "Blue Ice Miniatures" name was scrapped. Maxxev bought a lot of that stuff and uses a name "Blue Ice Games" instead.
Apparently Louis launched Dark Sphere Games in 2005. It didn't last long either.
Sylvain Quirion sculpted a treeman for Dark Sphere. It's now available on Impact Miniatures.
A few Dark Sphere minis are available on Tritex Games with a description "from a new and innovative range introduced by David Gaskin".
Some traces of this all can be found here (http://www.stunties.com/wiki/index.php/Manufacturers)
And still I have no idea, who currently owns those halflings.

Cheers for that Dolmot, that's really interesting to know. :)
I guess the lesson to be learned is, if you set up your own company, don't let your "mate" run it in your name without some form of contract and supervision system.

Mongrel Miniatures Lebanon Range with a few packs from the Afghanistan to assist in the making of my Lebanon 1982 project for late next year.
Still waiting on the bulk of my Israelis, Arab Militia and Syrian heavy weapons an other odds and sods from Crouchie, but I'm very impressed with the range of figures.
Recommend this range to anyone with an interest.

I'll second that recommendation... :-*

But it wasn't all bad as I did receive this beauty today. I've only been waiting six weeks for it! Not had a chance to properly test it, but from what I've seen it looks pretty good.

Did you have any problem with customs, package handling etc?
-
I will give the skater some real rough treatment. Wheels off and his head will be replaced with a bare head and used to make a pilot figure

None at all, postage charge is also very reasonable, I wish all purchases were this easy.

1:72 minis snagged today!
Greek Infantry by Zvezda
very much looking forward to assembling and painting these guys. Now I'm realizing I need some Monsters out of Greek Mythology too!
WWI Anzac Infantry by Hat
More minatures for Pulp Egyptian adventures. All I'm missing at this point are some 1:72 scale mummies and natives.
Orc Warriors by Ceaser
Pretty happy with these guys. They are a bit cartoony. However if painted in a color other than green they should look fine. I'm thinking of grey skin with red eyes myself. Good foes for my Greek Warriors. ;)
Modern Militia by Ceaser
Woot! There are some great figures in this set. Aside from a number of figures I'll be using for Pulp skirmish games. There's two heavily armed women in short skirts, the one using two uzis is going to be converted into a 1:72 scale slayer. There are also some kids running around with guns. This set is going to be great for a survivors vs zombie run.

Picked up an old Citadel Squat (Loader Grigg) for not very much on eBay, and have one of the bikes heading for the letterbox any day now.
Am toying with the idea of stripping and repainting some of my old collection as I've done mainly fantasy/historicals for the last couple of years and feel like getting back into space. May never happen, but the idea is growing on me... o_o

I have a load of these. I used to love the army. Keep thinking about painting some of them again. I still have a load unpainted from about 20 years ago, including a load of bikes and trikes.
The painted ones I have are not well painted at all. If I was serious I would need to strip off the old paint and start again. What does everybody use for stripping off old paint (without damaging the lead)?

You have customs limits on miniatures? :o
-
Not on miniatures specificaly just on how much goods you can bring back for being out of the country, for more than 48 hrs but less than7 days we're allowed $400cdn I thought it was $300 drat I could have bought some opposition for the turks :'( I'll remember for next visit in may
-
Got a few more 1999 miniatures and a couple of Legions of Steel troopers too.Also have some of the Mantic Elves on order :o.

got the race for charity limited edition mini sculpted by Andrew Rae and the set of 4 germani elves by Myrmidon studios (the detail on them is very fine and delicate, almost Tom Meier-esque... :o )
-
Received my Next Stop Kabul - Afghans Deal from Eureka Miniatures USA today and they are fan-tas-tic! The best figures I’ve seen in a while with almost no flash at all. They are anatomically correct. My only criticism is that the weapons, being more accurately depicted, are a little flimsy. Still the metal used for the casting is easy to work with without being too soft. These are my first Eureka figures and, if all their range are of this quality, they wont be the last.
-
he's big isn't he?
(http://forum.backofbeyond.de/images/misc/06_11_14_dinosaur.jpg)
who makes the sitting miniature?
-
It's a foundry DA explorer.
i do not see him in the list and I do not remember the pack etc
-
Foundry, Roosevelt from a discontinued pack?
-
I think it is not discontinued the pack actually, but after the reorganisation of foundry blisters some minis have disappeared.
I remember there was also a sitting lady which I cannot find again. Maybe Plynkes or Admiral benbow or some other expert in the LAF might be keeping records of what is available and what is not, or maybe there will be someone with a spare figure to trade etc.
the chair he is sitting on in the photo is of course of some other manufacturer/scratchbuilt. The one included in the pack was a small "travelling" one.
Oh what a beautiful diorama could be sone with those sitting explorers (male and female) plus a couple of standing like the fellah with the bottle and some explorer;s tents, askaris porters etc!
-
I have one spare. I got him in a random pack at last years open day.
Actually I am lieing - its the one in pith helmet holding his pistol out that I have spare. Svennn

it is still available in pack DA9/3, I think it is the only sitting figure nowdays available.

I wish. I did just find about 50 Foundry Indian Mutiny British infantry I had forgot I had - just need to find someone to swap them for Empress figures now ::)
-
When I started getting DA stuff he was one of three "free" figures you received if you bought "The British in the Dark Continent" collection. I don't know which pack he was in before they started pulling that "bonus figure" stunt. I suppose I could go through my old Wargames Illustrated back issues to see if I can find the pertinent Foundry advert.
But I have little enthusiasm for such a task, and as such you will have to pay me to do it. I accept all kinds of goods as currency, including central African ceremonial throwing knives, Zulu dancing girls, and cake.
I don't have that particular figure, but I do have his counterpart with the gun. Due to his sitting pose, I have been saving him in case I want to use him as some kind of vehicle crew, as those kind of figures don't come around too often.
-
There's 2 sitting ladies in DA 1/8, there's a sitting guy with a gun in DA 9/3. There's often extra miniatures in these packs.

Had a lot of Clan War miniatures arrive this week.Another one of those games which I seem to get interested in once they are out of print.

Picked up several items to field the Finns in 1944-45 this weekend - namely T-34/76s and T-34/85s. Battlefront has started doing packs of individually sculpted vehicles (which I think is a wonderful idea) beyond the initial set of Tigers, and these are some of them. I've already started painting them, and hope to have them done soon.
In addition, picked up some very nicely painted 1/300 Italian aircraft for WW2. Saves me time in painting projects, and the price was very good. Mainly C.200s, but also got a couple SM79s. Too small for use in 15mm, but very useful for other applications, including "Check Your Six". These are older 1/300 aircraft, so they're a bit truer to scale than some of the newer stuff, but they'll work fine for me!
I had intended to get some larger examples to use with my 15mm forces as well, but the vendor who carried -those- chose not to bring any of his larger scale aircraft for WW2 to Pacificon! (I mean, yeesh, when does WW2 sell anywhere? ;) ) I'd also intended to get equipment for my Hungarians, to pick up Pulp City, and to get a few other things, but the only vendor who brought enough stock was Zombiesmith (from whom I snagged a copy of the lovely 'This Quar's War'), and ironically I hadn't planned to pick up any minis from them on this trip (hope to do so soon, though.)
Also, just before we left for our trip this past weekend, got the final master castings for my miniatures range. They look great, and I'm looking forward to having some painted samples on the website. Maybe I can convince some others to paint samples for me.
Finally, I am picking up my copy of the re-release of Space Hulk this afternoon. The minis are quite nice, unlike some of the stuff coming out of GW these days, and there isn't a topknot in site. I would very much like to field these as one of the Rogue Trader era Chapters (the Space Sharks), but they're designed to be Blood Angels, and I'm not sure I want to bother with the dremelling/converting of details required. Nonetheless, very nice individually sculpted Marines; even nice without a lick of paint on them. Each one totally different. The main objective marker,a dead space marine on a throne would make a fantastic general for my force of Chaos Marines.

When I started getting DA stuff he was one of three "free" figures you received if you bought "The British in the Dark Continent" collection. I don't know which pack he was in before they started pulling that "bonus figure" stunt. I suppose I could go through my old Wargames Illustrated back issues to see if I can find the pertinent Foundry advert.
But I have little enthusiasm for such a task, and as such you will have to pay me to do it. I accept all kinds of goods as currency, including central African ceremonial throwing knives, Zulu dancing girls, and cake.
I don't have that particular figure, but I do have his counterpart with the gun. Due to his sitting pose, I have been saving him in case I want to use him as some kind of vehicle crew, as those kind of figures don't come around too often.
I hope you don't mind if I show those three sitting figs again from my LPL3 entry below. Didn't know that Foundry removed the figs from their newly organised and now more expensive packs, but I'm not too surprised ... :(
But I wouldn't be too surprised either if they'll release all of he "removed figures" sometimes in the near future as a kind of "Rare-items-we-just-found-at-the-Warehouse Special Surprise Pack" for 8,50 quid for two figs plus p&p!

Received a package with Tiger NWF Pathans, Afghan turcoman regulars. They are all rubbish. :-[
The 75mm Krupp and Schneider guns were however excellent.
-
Oh Hammers, Hammers, Hammers. If only ye had heeded me, when I tried to warn the populace about Tiger Miniatures. Again and again I have tried to bring you good folk to your senses. Unfortunately, Argsilverson shouts louder about the good than I do about the bad (one feels like such a heel badmouthing someone's earnest efforts all the time).
Their ranges are really interesting, but it pains me to say that I just don't think their sculptor is up to the task. I take no pleasure in saying this because there is so much in their catalogue that I want to buy, but I'm afraid they just aren't good enough.
-
Hammers, sorry to hear about the Tiger minis. I just bit the bullet and ordered Afghan regulars from Foundry after not being able to come to terms with Tiger. If it is any consolation, I now feel better about spending double for Foundry!
-
Got some of WhiffWaff's LE goblins. The pictures don't do them justice as they are quite small and detailed:
goblin aristocrat:

goblin knight:

goblin shaman:
(http://i438.photobucket.com/albums/qq108/sculpting-pics/ltdedmetal009.jpg)
Also received my package from Red Box Games. These will, along with the Myrmidon Studio germani elves form the basis of a small, highly detailed barbarian army made up from different races (RBG humans and goblins and MS elves).
-
Their ranges are really interesting...
I wanted first hand experience of Tiger. I am just that kind of stupid.
I think the cavalry will look OK once painted. I suspect the horses are eBob recasts. Shoddy work, but at least decent sculpts.
-
Three Xyston DBA Ancients armies.: Later Achaemenid Persian; Ariarathid Kappadocian; and Alexandrian Macedonian :)
I'm as happy as a toddler with a toy drum!
-
Just received the latest 8 foot and mounted mini's from Boot Hill Miniatures from our own Malamute.
Very nice figures again, Nick :)
-
Just received a WSS French Cavalry Unit from Front Rank to round-ups the number for a small "commission" work.
-
One plastic ECW and two Riflemen from Wargames Illustrated . I had to pay NZ$1 in my local hobby shop but that was better than buying two mags I didn't need . I never saw the ECW figure when the Mag came out and when I enquired I was told they were always missing by the time they hit the shops.
-
A load of Pulp minis and Westwind Gothic Horror via job lots on eBay :)
Also got lots of Pirate cannons that I have no idea what to do with at the moment - they seem too small for 28mm :'(
-
Oh Hammers, Hammers, Hammers. If only ye had heeded me, when I tried to warn the populace about Tiger Miniatures. Again and again I have tried to bring you good folk to your senses.

I agree totally I picked up their Afghans and it is really a shame as the concept isgood but they just dont deliver on the finished product, a little more work is needed

Dave Thomas strikes again, feeding my Foundry Ogre habit with some more lovely sculpts.
Actually, one pack was of swashbuckler orcs, not ogres, as I ordered them on sunday night when I was half cut and hit the wrong button. I didn't realise my mistake until tuesday, by which time Dave had already posted them with his usual efficiency. No worries though, they are still bloody nice figs, and now I have a chef and a jester for the Ogre queen's court.
Be warned - don't drink and eBay! lol

Well had me Birthday last week and got;
Lots of Quar cavalry to finish of the Wedge :D of 20
Mob 4 zombies from Studio minis
3 Baruk form Twighlight as beasts of burden for my Quar.
6 Matakishi Dice form my Friend Martin :D (many thanks too to Paul)
Still awaiting a few bits
Ironclad the tractor, coach and a steam tank for the HQ
Some Brigade Atomic 57 I ordered last week with Birthday money ;D
2 Steam planes form Armorcast for my Quar attack squadron
Ofensive minis riot police which got damaged in the post and returned to sender by Post office ( take note the strikes in the UK are causing huge backlogs of parcels at certain depots :-[)
-
Happy birthday for last week Karl! Hope you had a good one. :)
Shame about your Offensive Minis parcel. And I know the posties are playing up again, I'm waiting for a couple of packages from the States and am wondering if they will make it before Christmas.
-
Thanks JB it was a good one, what is more worrying is I had a couple of cheques returned to me for some strange reason (infact none at all) too, thank god they werent bills :o
-
some black cat bases deep ones. They threw in double the number of figures because the order had been delayed. I wouldn't have thought anything of it, but that's what I call great customer service. 8) :o
the reaper well of doom I got from a trade on frothers will go well with them.
also: 10 Oglah Khan's wolfboys on frothers, including the general mini. with their mongol warrior look, these will make interesting allies for my Olley's armies and Clan War oriental goblins.
fenryll renaissance dwarf cannon (bit of scale creep going on there)
two freebooter goblins
darksword King and Queen Ploogak and phlunkeys.
And more atlas minis lucky luke doubles for conversion purposes. ;D
-
@ JollyBob or anyone in the UK...
What is the situation exactly? I just ordered a whole lot of stuff last week (both books and miniatures) only to discover, yesterday, that there were a "problem" with UK postal services. :?
-
Posties are taking Union action, as they seem to want to be paid more to slack off, lose stuff, be generally unhelpful and charge the earth for non-existant services.*
They are on a go-slow (not much difference) in most of the country, with actual strikes at some of the sorting offices in major cities like London, Manchester, Liverpool - basically, anywhere with an airport, so international post is suffering.
There has been talk of a nationwide strike, and they ballotted their Union members last week to see if they were in favour, but I've not heard the results yet. That will really screw things up if they do.
That's how I understand it anyway, some of the details may be subject to my misinterpretation.
*Except for my regular postman, who is actually friendly, helpful and reliable. The last of his kind, perhaps.
-
And last night I dreamed that I had placed significant orders with Pig Iron Productions and GZG!
Well, I can always wait until after Christmas I suppose.
Postal service from the U.K. to Canada (at least where minis are concerned) is vastly superior in my experience to that from the U.S. to Canada. Pig Iron, SHQ, Britannia; all arrive within days when ordered directly, but if I order from the U.S. I can count on weeks of waiting by my mailbox.
-
25 Napoleonic Brits and a dozen mad figures, sourced from two different LAFers! Thanks chaps! :)
-
Thanks for the info JollyBob.
@ Mr Peabody, with the tracking number on most of the figures parcel we order nowadays, we can find out some interesting facts… I ordered from Old Glory USA in Pennsylvania and it take 4 business days to go from there to the Chicoutimi poste Canada depot… and 6 business days to get from the depot to me and I live barely 5km away from the depot. It make you wonder… ::)
-
Ça c'est frustrant en colis! lol
Désolé, je n'ai pas pu résister...

Directly from Reaper US:
A bunch of useful Chronoscope miniatures including Not-Lemmy Kilmister and Not-Hendrix

..and some essential Master And Pro Paints.
What happens when I collect them? The Man slaps a €20 customs charge on it! :-[
-
Two boxes WF Ceasers Legions (well, they were only $9.99 each!) and they came with six of their new germans, which look OK, actually.
-
7 chaos terminators - I now have the 15 I need for Space Hulk.
4 ringwraiths and 20 Uruk-hai from ebay, they look like they've been painted by a myopic broom-wielding elephant, but I can restore them, I have access to volatile chemicals and an old toothbrush.
Slitheen, Judoon, Krillitane, Daleks and Cybermen for Dr Who Miniatures Battles.
Oracle, Nightwing and the Dynamic Duo from the Batman Heroclix range, just one left to get!
Some cheap plastic dinosaurs for a lost world project.
-
Twenty painted Greeks from Ebay painted by Jim Bowen.Also three new greens from PAul Muller.
Customs charges are one reason for not placing orders abroad.They put me off ordering quite a few things.
-
An order from Eureka arrived today ; six Egyptian Skeletons and four mummies , 6 toxic Zombies in drums (already cleaned up and washed), some more Gorillas including space crew and very dissappointing for me the Pulpitations set .
I bet my Blacktree/BAM/Artizan Germans can't wait to kick sand in their faces as they look so puny. :-[
-
Eleven more boxes of 1999 miniatures won on ebay.Also got a cool Clan War painted miniature for the Shadowlands force.Nice Centaur type.
-
Do or Die Troops from Copplestone and the Chinese bandit command figures.
Very, very quick service, ordered on Monday arrived yesterday.

I Just received a bag full of 2nd hand Dixon ACW… me happy! ;D
-
One of Bugsda's painted African warriors made it here to Guam. The package arrived totally crumpled. All of you fellows looking for Kong forget about Skull Island - He's working on Guam for the US Postal service, and he's clumsy!! Amazingly the mini made it intact but only because Bugsda took the extra step and wrapped the mini and then placed him inside a tin can. Thanks Bradduh!

Happy mail day for me yesterday. I received three packages, all of which took less than three weeks (four weeks was the previous record, so extra happiness).
20 Russian infantry and 12 Cossacks from Redoubt
42 Afghan regular infantry from Foundry
12 Perry Bengal Cavalry (command plus 9 Muslim sowars).
I'm very happy with all of them - even though I'm unlikely to paint them all before my end of mission! The Perry cavalry of course are excellent, and I have no problem with the bamboo lances, as finding/fabricating my own would be too much of a hassle.
-
From Battlefield Berlin for my pulp gaming:
- Two packs of Artizan arab cavalry. Very nice
- The helldorado chinese ghost (don't remember his name). Beautiful miniature.
- A RedBox barbarian that the guys from BB sent me for free to compare its scale. Very nice and 28mm.
- Two Fenrill columns for the Musem entrance I am building (scenery)
- And the Miniature Building Authority Jepson Hideaway (scenery). Great!
Very happy with all of them... :)
-
76 TAG Chindits including 2 HMGs with crew & 2 x 3" mortars withcrew
13 or so assorted 18th C Civilians including the duelists and crowd as well as the Foundry blacksmith from the same era.
Redoubt or Dixon Longboat with cannon & crew/rowers - no Marines.
-
Got my Parroom Station Martians off Skrapwelder through the post today - thanks again, buddy!
Also yet another batch of Foundry Mercenary Ogres from Dave Thomas on eBay. I hope that this will be my last set, but they are just soooo nice! (At least I managed to order the right ones this time. ::))

At least for the first outing, the Carrier, and Destroyer will both be crammed full of BUF Legionnaires as well - the plan is for an amphibious assault against the League/Yorkist Front. If the carrier gets torpedoed during the game, I can always refloat it in shallow water, and let the YF take it over!
:D
BUT, i do need LOTS of crew.... ;)
-
BUT, i do need LOTS of crew.... ;)
You have to use Old Glory's Boxer Rebellion Naval Artillery crew, they come in packs with random selection of headgear.
If you are lucky you will get lots of suitable figures. If you ignore or file the concard on some of them, remove the pom-poms from some other you have a whole pack of crew. Officers is something else. You have to press into naval service some suitable officers from Army etc.
-
I think buying a couple of sprues of Woodbine Designs Brodie helmet heads and headswapping some of them on to the Old Glory bodies would give them a suitably 1930s look. Do it to the figures that come with French Pom-Pom hats and then you don't have to muck about making the hats look British.
-
6 Crusader old west minis from ebay. Bargain!

@ Helen, Is the Hotchkiss set as good as the other set? I asked because I think that the figures I ordered look better "in the flesh" than on the pictures displayed on Scarab’s site. Thanks

15 assorted Foundry darkest africa minis from eBay

One bag (30) of Old Glory Pathans with rifles and an equal amount of casualties. A bit macabre, given current events. I've got to declare, Old Glory, despite the wholesale, scope-them-up-with-a-ladel-'n-pour'm-inna-bag, are above decent! Thanks, Plynkes, or whoever it was that recommended them. I should have listened about the Tiger pathans, which are, quite frankly, fucking rubbish.
Oh, and some Foundry Indian Mutiny artillery crew.

Got a shipment Blue Moon miniatures from Old Glory UK today. It's my first BM order and I feel they deserve a plug. The images in both the US and UK webstores are commented as shoddy by many LAFers, to say the least. That's a shame, because they really have a lot of character 'in the raw. I particularly like the Russian spies, there is a fat chap in it who looks like Marshall Tito in his Sunday finest.
By the way, have you noticed that our suppliers seem to have cut down on inventory lately? I have made multiple orders the last months and quite a few of them have enclosed a note saying "I'm afraid we are on back orders on items so'n'so but we'll deliver as soon as we get a new shipment from the caster/US/Oz". A tad annoying since they are quite quick to charge my Visa for the full delivery. In those circumstances I'd like to be asked if I want to cancel the remaining order. Common curtsey, I think, or am I just being Swedish?
-

No, I think you're right. It's the right thing to do.
-
I quite agree, it is only polite as much as it is good business.
I'd like to point out though, that Tim from Miniature Heroes (bossco101 on here) always asks if you'd like to cancel or change your order if he's waiting on stock from Mirliton or Reaper. Top bloke. 8)
And yes, I also would like to agree once more, that Blue Moon's product is far nicer in the hand than in any of the promo pictures. Very nice minis (usually) and I have several myself.

I'd like to point out though, that Tim from Miniature Heroes (bossco101 on here) always asks if you'd like to cancel or change your order if he's waiting on stock from Mirliton or Reaper. Top bloke. 8)
This is my experience with Lurch @ Miniaturicum to.
-
Got three Okko miniatures and one Reaper miniature today.Nice additions to the lead mountain.Just could not resist them.
-
Two Pig Iron Heavy Infantry assault squads and a pack of 2 Heavy Inf. closed helmet sprues; 20 lovely helmeted heads for conversions.
As usual, quick delivery and a thoroughly professional experience from the moment I placed the order via their excellent web-store until the package arrived today, 11 days later. Bolton, UK to Vancouver BC, Canada in 11 days, not bad at all.
By comparison I placed an order for in-stock goods with a US supplier before I placed this order, and I am still waiting for the US package to arrive.

I’ve noticed that the package I receive from UK always get here in less time than those from the US. Also, it seem that the parcel from the US are more often "intercepted" by Canada’s custom and I have to paid fees to get them… >:(

You noticed that, too, eh? Seems to be an advantage to being a Colonial! I must say, though, that, over the past year or so, my parcels were coming straight to the door at least 4 times out of 5, no matter where they were from.
My biggest question is 'Why do I have to pay provincial taxes and GST for items that are, one, not manufactured here and, two, can't be purchased here, either!' Whose jobs are we 'protecting'?

I have to say that I order from the US and the UK whenever I can't find a Canadian source, and I haven't paid duty on anything in years! Knock on wood.

My friend tells a story of crossing the border and being stopped at customs with some miniatures. The customs officer couldn't figure out what to charge him in duty and eventually settled on the "China Figurines" category, charging him more in duty than he paid for the minis in the first place.
-
... I must say, though, that, over the past year or so, my parcels were coming straight to the door at least 4 times out of 5, no matter where they were from...
That’s also true with most of the parcels I receive… and it did again today! lol I just received a box from North Star containing the "Artizan’s One Day Viking Deal", plastic bases from Victrix and wire spears. It take 9 days from UK to here.

My fastest response from England was 3 days! From Foundry. Must have hit the pickups just right!

Imperial Guard Regimental Advisors
Imperial Guard Tank Crew from the collectors range (Horrid models)
All from the online store as the brick and mortar stores no longer carry any metal miniatures other than a few rows of stock they are trying to sell off, seriously, whats the point of GW stores now?

My biggest question is 'Why do I have to pay provincial taxes and GST for items that are, one, not manufactured here and, two, can't be purchased here, either!' Whose jobs are we 'protecting'?
I had that argument with a Canada Post customer service rep (and a Revenue Canada person) a few years back... and lost, naturally.
What really, really burns me is that Canada Post is the only agency or company that is allowed to charge an extra fee for collecting taxes and duty. Nobody is allowed to charge a processing fee for collecting GST/PST/HST - except Canada freakin' Post...
Getting back to order times, I've been spoiled dealing with GZG, Old Crow and other UK companies, with turnaround times of 5-10 days being standard. Meanwhile right now, I'm waiting on an order from a well-known American company who took THIRTEEN days just to acknowledge my web order and tell me it had been sent, and that was ten days ago and I have no package yet... Some of the order is Artizan stuff, too, so I'd probably have been a lot better off ordering direct from Artizan in the UK... Meh.
When it finally shows it'll probably get dinged by Canada Post for GST/duty, too, just to add injury to insult! (I've been lucky the past year or three, hardly gotten 'got' for duty at all...)
-
Two minis from the brush of Orctrader! A swell and a society lady featuring the trademark highlighting on black that he does so well :-* :-*
-
...I'd probably have been a lot better off ordering direct from Artizan in the UK...
I've done most of my Artizan ordering direct. I like the only 10% postage bit. All straight to the door, as well (so far...).
-
Gota complete set of Bob Naismith's Aruk figures from the Cobalt 90 range from Matakishi. Funky lookin' worm headed buggers with plenty of pulp potential. :)

1 x secrets of the third reich British armoured suit with boyes anti tank rifle.
Not quite sure why... just coz its cool :)
-
Actually the last 4 models I recieved were SotR British armoured suits, 1 AT rifle, 1 Flamethrower, 2 MGs.
For the price they are lovely models, I was going to use them as extra APEs for Incursion, suits from the MI13 allies, but they aren't as high quality as the APE models, to me anyway, so I don't like how they look together. An APE model is twice the price and not much bigger though, so you certainly get what you pay for.
Still, some nice models to have kicking around though.
:)

Nice box full of GZG 15mm goodness for my 28mm sci-fi gaming.
Wheeled drones with autocannon
Wheeled drones with missiles
Wheeled drones with sensors
UAV Hoverdrones 2 pack - one with guns, one with missiles
Medium Missile Battery on groundmount
And the grand-daddy:
AV-12/U "Mantis UAV" VTOL Gunship unmanned variant (remote or AI-controlled)
All this stuff has great scale cross-over potential, but then I learned that here....
And the kicker: this arrived today and the order was shipped on the 22nd of this month. Nine days from ordering to my door.
I've waited longer for pizza ;D

Nine days is slow for GZG, I've managed FIVE once from the UK to Canada's Far Left Coast. Jon of GZG is widely rumoured to have a private wormhole for shipping. One of these days someone is going to recieve an order they haven't actually made yet, and the universe will collapse.
And yes, the various 15mm drones GZG is coming out with recently would rock for 25/28mm as well. Pity our local gaming group is currently in an off-again mode WRT Stargrunt II and other SF gaming.

Hi folks! Finally remembered to take some "raw" pics, this time of the stuff I got today at Fiasco.
Colour Party (?) structured basing paint and a brush rack from Oshiro Modelterrain (cheers, jimbibbly!):
(http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg236/Christian_S_1979/Modelling%20and%20Miniatures/FIASCO001_ACCESSOIRES.jpg)
Tumbling Dice Miniatures Korean War 1/600 Aircraft 4 B29, 6 Sabres, 12 Mig 15, 4 Yak-9, 4 Skyraider, and 6 F9F Panther. Plus the "Mig Alley" ruleset (not bad from the first read).
(http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg236/Christian_S_1979/Modelling%20and%20Miniatures/FIASCO002_MIG_ALLEY.jpg)
Ground Zero Games: ESU Starfleet, various 25mm figures.
(http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg236/Christian_S_1979/Modelling%20and%20Miniatures/FIASCO003_GROUNDZEROGAMES.jpg)
Some miniatures from The Baggage Train. Also checked out their vehicles (but ran out of cash before being able to buy some); the tracked and wheeled ones are actually rather nice and big, if a bit bland concerning detail; but you could improve them significantly with easy additions like handles, antennae, baggage and stuff.
(http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg236/Christian_S_1979/Modelling%20and%20Miniatures/FIASCO005_TBT_MINIATURES.jpg)
And then, an impulse buy I´m very happy with. At the RifRaf stall, I had a thoroughly enjoyable chat with Tannenberg and his buddy (sorry, forgot the name :-X), and apart from discussing possible collaboration in the shape of "special" Rif War Unit Cards for Triumph and Tragedy and maybe some official army lists, I deviated from the original purchase of just a single FT-17, but also splurged on one of the platoon packs (it´s basically a decent T&T force, so not much harm done!), plus bases for the lot.
(http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg236/Christian_S_1979/Modelling%20and%20Miniatures/FIASCO004_RIFKRIEG.jpg)
Sadly, I forgot my camera at home >:( so there are no pictures of the great zombie game put on by the Frothers, an absolutely huge Yom Kippur table and some very nice smallish game tables, but I hope others have taken shots (maybe on the FIASCO website).
-
Another bundle of Jaffa for Stargate adventuring turned up from Cold War Miniatures yesterday. Somehow they managed to get them to me in three days, despite the three day postal strike... :o
Also succumbed and bought the SG1 figures. A tad expensive, but at least I don't have to convert any myself. And soon to be OOP, so cheaper than eBay in a couple of months. :?
-
Some miniatures from The Baggage Train.
Those are the old Acropolis sci fi guys aren't they? GZG used to sell those way back when. Very nice true 25mm armoured troopers. Must check if they're on the BaggageTrain site…
-

I think they are indeed the Acropolis figures, but I don´t know which ones and the website lists the various figures, but without images.
That said, I may be ordering a bunch of them "flying blind" now that I know what the figures´ style is. I like them.
-
5 old China Town minis, inc. 3 I did not believe even existed! A fine exchange throuh the old BlackgateCT Yahoo! group.

Just popped out today to buy the nephew a birday present.Whilst looking in the shops I came across the Revell Dawn of Time models in Poundstretcher.They had the Mammoth in for £7.99.After seeing the conversion's on this site I ended up buying one.This is a really big model and cheap compared to Forge Worlds one at £215.30.
Here is a link to the Revell site with the models in the range.
http://www.revell.com/catalog/catalog/Dawn_of_Time-39-1.html
Spotted another one that I might get for another project.
-
I received 3 x 40mm HLBS Old West figures.

They are greatly sculpted and cast - this could be the start of something.
-
Two sets of Urban War Viridians. A Colonial Marine Mortar Team and a Colonial Marine HMG Team. Bargains from ebay.
The Colonial Marine Squad I also won should not be far behind....
-
I went on a bender at Fall In. I had pre-ordered 20 of the new Wars of the French Revolution light cavalry and the new ragged artillery crews. To that I added all of the new civilian sets (C.P.E. Bach on clavicord, string quartet, Fred the Great on jazz flute, and Fred and Voltaire arguing over who should pick up the tab for drinks). I also grabbed some Crusader WW2 German cavalry and Samnites just because I felt like painting them.
-
More conquest woodlander indians from northstar, plus a pack of the heavily discounted ritualists that I couldn't resist for conversion potential.
-
Spinespur reinforcements arrived today.Nice sculpts and great service from Comfy Chair.

Today 3 models labelled `Timelords` on eBay, not sure if true, but they do have `BBC 1986` sculpted in the front of their bases.

13 packs from Pulp miniatures - stunning quality and fast delivery without any customs charges!!

Dug through all my old rpg books, probably 20+ books all together and traded them into my local gameshop for $90 in store credit. I bought:
Reaper's Native American miniature:
(http://www.reapermini.com/graphics/gallery/4/50113_w_1.jpg)
A Reaper paint brush
Legends of the High Seas
Legends of The Old West: The Alamo/Victory or Death

Thanks to seeing Pappa Midnight's finished version, I ordered a couple of VOR Pharon Nobles from Ral Partha to act as bio-constucts for my Jaffa'a forces.
Well. I ordered one, then wondered why it was taking so long to get here. Then I visited the site to check and realised Ral Partha now have a minimum £4.50 order. So I emailed them and added another one to the order. That was at 4.00 pm yesterday.
Stuff turned up this morning. With a note apologising for a delay that was my own fault. :o
If I had the money, I would buy their whole range just because they are so nice.
Edited for wrongnameness.

I've been meaning to put a list together of my Fall In purchases (can it already be over a week ago!?) but the full list would be far too long and depressing to my bank account. A few of the highlights though:
Eureka: All of the Flashman variants, some victorian gentlemen, several different Pax Limpopo personalities, and 1864 Austrians to be used as VSF Dutch. Excellent service from Eureka USA. Threw in a couple of extra figures and wouldn't let me pay for them! Top notch service.
Ramshackle: Isimbard Kickass Brunel
Brigade: Atomic Cafe Six String Samurai and Roller Girls
Plastics: A bunch of the Wargames Factory Germans (given away by Wargames Factory), a dozen plastic Perry Rifflemen (now kitbashed with Kroot parts to make Dutch Venusian Parrotmen), 10 WF Brits, some ECW plastics etc etc, all for ridiculously low prices at the flea market. Oh yeah, I won some Perry French Heavy calvary in a draw.
Flea Market stuff: A bunch of awesome stuff for cheap prices. 10 Foundry Germans that I will be using as KNIL's. They look very close to the Tiger Miniatures KNILs except sculpted 10Xbetter! 10 Copplestone sailors and 2 officers. 10 HLBSC mounted germans, also to be used as KNILs , as well as 3 packs of what apprears to be HLBSC Jaegers. All being pressed into Dutch service. I also picked up a few BloodBowl figs, Morg and Thorg, as well as a 2nd edition troll for $2! A few lizzardmen skinks for next to nothing....
I spent a lot, but I have enough to paint for a year. Truly a great experience.

9 victorian/old west ladies from eBay!
Excellent, I wish I'd seen them!
More bargains, from Northstar this time, a goody bag of mixed things including a single 18th century frock-coat and tricorn trooper, some stahlhelm Germans (WWII I think, I'm no expert) and some Wild West types... should add random colour to games involving time travellers anyway! I think I see the Doctor's next three locations hoving into view...

Hi Kids, Received some Laughing Monk figs yesterday from Shadowforge in Australia, and I gotta tell ya, these are some of the cleanest figs I've ever seen! They tend to be a little tall, but I'm really glad I got 'em.
Doesn't everyone need a Bruce Campbell-esk Zombie Hunter with chainsaw & shotgun?

Today, I received the Copplestone Castings miniatures which I ordered last Saturday.
- Neo-Soviet:Partisans 1&2, Regulars 1&2, Specialists.
- Hunter Aliens.
- German Marines, German Officers and DOAG Askaris
Splendid service, and even included a hand-written "thanks for shopping" note. I´m sure that one is included in all orders (or at least larger ones), but it´s still a very nice touch.

ZULUS!
Fahsends of them!
Well - 24 actually. Just to test the water - since Foundry were kind enough to just send me a 20% discount voucher, which cancelled out the crazy postage charge.
And I tell you what, they might be Copplestone retreads, but they are bloody lovely. A few will move straight to the front of the painting queue. Watch this space ;)
-
Another bundle of joy from copplestone:
Glory of the sun
- 1 x Dutch Musketeers at the ready
- 1 x Dutch unarmoured pikemen
- 1 x pk of pikes
Really nice sculpts as expected, a little taller than i imagined, more 30mm i think.
I was really surprised with pikes, very nicely made with excelent point, worth the money in my opinion!
-
Sash and Saber 40 mm AWI. British lights and Coammand, Hessian Jaegers and Command, Infantry in Roundabouts uniforms and Roundhat and Grasshopper gun.
Beautiful miniatures an I can't wait to paint them.

A resounding shout out to First Lady Helen who has sent the a prodigiously heavy parcel of sepoys all the way from Australia. Besides the very nicely painted squad of Sikhs, I was particularly thrilled to see one Pontonier gurkha which I don't think is available to the public yet. I am forever in you dept, ma'am!

What's happening with Pontoonier at the moment?

Thank you Peder, I don't know about the well painted Sikhs as they are YUCK! compared to what I paint now.
The Gurkha was a sample sent by Ben many moons ago. I do believe they are available for sale if you can catch Ben at a show.
Peder, did you like Saladin? I hope you like all the other bits and bobs too.

I liked them all, H. All those SMLEs were a welcome surprise to. Very generous. The frog officer, is he from the Krim era?

Hi P,
He is a Crusader miniature figure based on AFAIK the French artist Alphonse-Marie-Adolphe de Neuville. I'm using one for my WW1 French army.
I hope everything will find a home in your collection.

A very nice blister of Conquest Minis' Iroquois Cultists or Ritualists or something, very rapidly delivered by Northstar bless their cotton socks, with a few extras thrown in as compo for a problem with my order a week before...

Ah, I think I'm alright on that score. Thankfully, the twenty squid I "acidentally" blew on lead has been eclipsed by the three hundred I had so shell out this morning to get the car fixed. She'll probably let me off as it's "therapy" or something.
Works for her with shoes, after all... lol

Finally got my order from Conquest Miniatures. Seven weeks to the day from date of order! Didn't even see the inside of a post office for literally a month. I've received stuff from Australia in just over a week so I don't know why it took so long from California. Not exactly what I'd call 'service'. I had considered ordering from England (probably would have had it in a week) if not for the fact it would have cost me nearly $40 CDN more than what I did pay. If it had been only a few dollars' difference, I might have still done it. I'll have to think seriously before I decide whether to place a second order.
The figures themselves are very nice and the resin canoe is excellent. Much better than my old RAFM ones. In some ways, the figures remind me a bit of Bob Murch's style, which I like - clean and simple. Anyone else have that impression?

A pack of the AWI Southern Militia firing line from Perry, for use as F&IW settlers. Lovely.

Helen, I read Eric's explanation but, seven weeks? Over the past couple of years, I've ordered from various American states, England, Germany, Australia and even Poland, and nothing has taken more than about 3 weeks max. I would have thought that since the problem had cropped up once before, it would have made sense to keep an eye on things to make sure it wasn't happening again. My biggest complaint is that there was not a single word of explanation for the delay, not even in response to the email I sent last him last week regarding my missing order.
(Don't know where my earlier reply got to. I originally posted this around 6AM this morning!)

Thanks A. I've had a problem with a UK company, but I'll not named them here as they finally replied to me after I'd PayPal open a query to my order. Mind you it took some administration on my part to get to this point.
Heavens to M... You would think that compaines would be pulling out all the stops to get your business - Maybe, I'm incorrect in my assumptions!

(http://www.moonfleetminiatures.com/range.php?range_id=5&subcat_id=18 (http://www.moonfleetminiatures.com/range.php?range_id=5&subcat_id=18))
I came across them by accident and thought I gotta have them for my pulp games.
They look even better in real life so certainly have gone to the top of my painting list.
Also bought another 15 Artizan Thrilling Tales Figures.
-
My pre-release figures of Play-War's modern mercs. Lovely clean sculpts and very clean casts, almost no mold lines. Lovely figures, if I were to pick fault with them (and I'd be being very picky) then the running guy, 2nd from the right in this pic stolen from 'the mighty flip', has a rather large head and the guy on the far left who's holding what I think is a Barret Light 50 is struggling due to the size of the gun. However, neither fault is enough for me to care one jot. They're going to be jumping the que to my painting desk.

Any one want to give advice for the painting scheme? As cultists of Khorne I was considering Red... although I do quite like the 'official' red and black colours GW have them painted in.
I'm expecting a few more packets to be coming through the door soon... hopefully including my Hirst Arts order!
Cheers

Pig Iron System Troopers. :-* Just one pack before Christmas. So looking forward to more of this line!

My little order of HLBS's limited-ed re-released dinos showed up!
Many more raptors to worry players with; another batch of mini-raptors for the same; a 2nd pteranodon, because flying not-quite-dinos are a Good Thing, and (a bonus, as I didn't order it!) a little protoceratops to lull players into a false sense of security because it's small, cute and a plant-eater...
I'd have ordered more if I could have budgeted for it!

- 6 metal knights panther (to be stripped and converted) including the grandmaster and standardbearer
My much delayed Warlord games ECW order, including the clubmen, the fire and brimstone and the specialists packs (and some dead cattle).
And the folly of the year, the missing pieces to complete the 15mm asterix village, including the battlefield with the romans and the roman camp. :-*

My much delayed Warlord games order
How long, i've been waiting for some stuff since 1 Nov 2009.. :-I

I placed the order around the 6th of november I think. Then after a month I sent an e-mail asking about it, got a reply with an apology and confirmation when it shipped out.
-
At last, the final few pieces for my Viridian squad: Colonial Marine Bazooka Team and an HGR (SAW) gunner.
I'm impressed with the Urban Mammoth product; it arrives basically ready to prime and paint. At least the few Viridians I have collected so far are like this. Can't speak to the rest of the line.
The Viridians will provide suitable opposition for my growing collection of Pig Iron Heavy Infantry & System Troopers.

15mm Asterix village? Tell me more!! :P ??? :o
It's a collection in the style of the 28mm Lucky Luke figures I've been repainting in the old west thread. By the same company too. So it's prepainted metal figures (about 15mm) with metal and resin scenery pieces. The most common set is the village itself which has a big resin base, resin houses, metal pallissades and trees, the villagers, various accesories, the banquet and the school. Here's some pictures I found on the net:
(http://img.over-blog.com/599x334/0/07/00/40/village-asterix-no-pixi-atlas-1.jpg)

(http://img.over-blog.com/600x395/0/07/00/40/village-asterix-no-pixi-atlas-3.jpg)
Rarer are the Roman camp and the battlefield. The Roman camp comes with a resin base, towers and pallisades, resin tents and metal romans (prepainted).
(http://cot.priceminister.com/photo/850088345_L.jpg)
The battlefield has a smaller resin base with a hill, all the main characters in action poses and more romans. There 's also a onepiece roman turtle.

On the ones I've tried stripping, the paint came off easily and revealed finely detailed metal miniatures underneath.

3 HLBS Triffids (very nice figures indeed, shame they're only a limited release) and something mysteriously entitled 'steam launch'. This turned out to be a bizarre looking ram-thing, rather ugly and too small for more than about 3 figures. Came with a nice boiler, though, so it's not completely useless...
-
Hasslefree Mad Dog, Mystic Warrior Panda, Arnuld, Knut and Captain Kev. Awesome birthday :)

It just doesn't get any better on Christmas Eve! A lovely box from Ground Zero Games was waiting for me in my mailbox.
It was full of lots of the 15mm New Israelis plus 8 an wheeled APC, MICV, MBT and 2 cool little 4 wheeled 'not-hummers' of the future.
Basically almost everything one would need to play Ambush Alley or Force on Force in a future setting.
Of course since it's Christmas there was also a wonderful goody bag with an extra vehicle, wheeled drones, more New Israelis and some of those excellent 'Not-Prawn'. Totally useful stuff! :-*
The Christmas bonus order opportunity ends on the 25th!

Not entirely true, I have started on a few models months ago, but stalled because of lacking good ideas and because I wanted to finish the railway project first. The sub that started the marine project is 80% built, and I will need the sailors for the railway too.
but this would rather belong to "new vehicles received"

about 60 WHFB Empire infantry & 10 (painted woho) Cavalry for the same as a gift from my gaming buddy
older plastics so not too shabby :)
My mates really hate my High elf army lol
-
Nice. The old ones beat the new ones hands down.
-
yep :)
It's older minis atleast, no assembly to speak of besides a gun here and there.. :D
-
I received two Cavalry Units from eBay during the holidays. Belgian Napoleonic Carabiniers and Hussars… and guest what, I’m planning on painting them to sell them later on! ;D
-
A Cat and some ravens from MegaMiniatures for use in Stones of Blood for DWMG
-
A nice little box of Pulp Figures awesomeness; cops, servants, gangsters, Neanderthals and some civilians.
The Neanderthals to round out my Lost World settings; the rest to populate my slowly-growing pulp city terrain.
That's most of the Xmas money gone; the rest will probably vanish early next week on a visit to the province's greatest game store over in Vancouver...
-
Nothing for me yet :-[
Some 4 orders outstanding 2 form before xmas, one the less said the better :? whilst the other is being worked on so no complaints there
Another 2 orders form over the chirstmas period which I suspect that and the weather is causing delays and deliveries
Hey Ho
-
a visit to the province's greatest game store over in Vancouver...
I say WL, do let us know when you are in town. Perhaps you would like to pop round for a bite of lunch in Chinatown!
That reminds me to check in with the folks over at Imperial to see if my order from Koplow Dice has arrived.

PM sent, Mr. Peabody; I'll be in Vancouver on Monday the 11th, if anyone else wants to try and do a LAF micro-meet somewhere for a late lunch or coffee!
I've got to be in the Waterfront Station/downtown/Gastown area by 5pm, and other than that have the afternoon free.
And yes, I did mean Imperial Hobby when I mentioned "the province's greatest gaming store". Naturally. ;)
-
What started as a "funny" thing while under the influence of alcohol has now spiraled out of control.
Got my latest shipment of Darkest Africa-minis.
30 Zanzibarians (think some Ruga-Rugas where in there as well), 20 Askaris and some characters.
I will start a project log for this when I actually start up this insane project (highly inspired by The Phantom stories).

a box of perry War of the Roses
have no use for them but had to see what all the fuss is about :)
very impressed
-
These much sought after Marauder figures from Svenn:
(http://wk.frothersunite.com/misc/empire/cFoto-0002.jpg)
Very pleased with those.
Also various old empire stuff from ebay and the like including metal handgunners, infantry command figures, a war wagon (without joke), metal cannon and mortar, and this (for some reason I like to have old figures like these still in the box):

Thought thats what you wrote, lol
Just curious, do you know if the gaming scene is bigger in BC than the other provinces?

There's some mistake, I'm already in the best province ever, BC! ;)
I haven't a clue if BC has a bigger gaming scene than elsewhere, mostly because I haven't really done any gaming elsewhere in Canada! I've done more gaming in the UK than in the rest of Canada, to be honest...

Which is I why I pulled out of it as it is a complete joke, and still not resolved, (weather not withstanding I was told before New Year's Eve that items were shipping and did I want refund still. Load of old balls!!! Shocking behaviour >:( ).
Anyway I too am waiting for items through the post, most recent figures through the post Uruk Hai Berzerkers.
Though expect a veritable avalanche (no pun intended) tomorrow.

Well, latest for me was a painting order from Fernando Enterprises of Sri Lanka. I usually paint my own, but occasionally buy painted stuff when other things are on my table, or I simply want to get a larger army in service faster than I can paint it.
These in particular are WW2 Italian Fucilieri in European uniform. They are a sort of gift to myself, as my previous Italian army (which I had bought painted but had extensively repainted, based, etc.) was stolen a couple years ago, not long after my Italian book was published, and as a result I was without my 'Johnny Fascists' for a very long time.
I painted the vehicles and guns, but the folks in Sri Lanka have done the infantry and the artillery crews. Had them do these because I based the infantry force on the new Flames of War lists for Sicily, which require a battalion sized force for the Italian infantry. While I play plenty of other games, FOW is the universally popular system for 15MM WW2 out here (for better or for worse), so it only makes sense to build them so that they can be used.
For the most part, they are very well done, but as always with Fernando, there was a little something "off". In this case, because the force is a CCNN force (Blackshirts, to the unenlightened), I had requested that all shirts and lapels be black (shirt lapels were sometimes worn outside the uniform by Italian troops in WW2, and in this case, some of the sculpts were done that way). Anyway, they did that, alright. But whomever did the artillery crews went a little overboard, going so far as to paint the COATS black as well. So, apparently, my artillery officers and spotters are all wearing parade uniforms... spiffing. Totally impractical, of course, and somewhat bizarrely appropriate for Mussolini's Army.
At any rate, they will serve well in future battles, one hopes. Just have to finish detailing some of the vehicles, and they'll be ready to play with.

Well, pics? As someone who runs Italians in FOW, I would love to see them. I have just collected a heap of Axis & Allies L6/40 Light Tanks and Semovente 47/32s to make up a Squadrone Esplorante as per the new North Africa book. I run an excel spreadsheet to calculate my points and I drew up a force of 8 platoons with AB41s, L6/40s, Semovente 47/32s, M14/41s, Semovente 75/18s, a Bersaglieri company and a captured 25 pounder battery. Looking forward to running it against Crusaders.

BTD ww2 British Commando canoes for my VBCW force
-
Akula, did you order directly from BTD? If so, how were the delivery time? Any hassle? ???
-
I received a large lot of BTD just recently that had been ordered in Sepr 09. Most of it was for a friend who doesn't use a credit card and he had been hassling (in a nice way) for info on delivery dates. Not all the order was supplied and there was a note apologising for the delay. :(

From Imperial Hobbies, Vancouver's excellent gaming store:
1 pack Artizan 28mm pulp - the "Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare" trio of Men In Bowlers; they're destined to be the threatening muscle behind Mr. Davies, who works for an organization that has no connection to His Majesty's Govt, none at all.
1 pack Blue Moon 28mm pulp "Unnamed Gangsters and Thugs" - 12 figures in all. I'm going to do a longer review of these figures on the Pulp forum when I get home in a few days, but the short version is, "Not as awful as BM's own paintjobs might have you believe."
Yes, that's faint praise...

Nope. I would NEVER again order directly from BTD.
These came from Wargames Command Post, who are having a clearout of their BTD stuff.
-
Received an order of 120 Pig Iron heads :)

Got a Space Marine Sergeant with Jump Pack and Power Fist from a friend who's a complete sweetie (as most gamers are I've found) who remembered a conversation I'd had with him about three months ago; not mentioned again but he turned up to my 40th birthday party with it last night. Yay! my friend Michael, you're groovy! Thanks again, if you're reading this...

As the post seems to have started working again, I today received:
WGF zulus
10 swm rodians (conversions abound)
Foundry's Ardent Adventurers, Zulu Brit Command and a zombie santa rising from the grave (many thanks to Kapitan Mors!)
Frothers zombies (yay!)
and an impressively hefty package from Curtis Ramshackle, containing VSF heads, some resin adventurers, a prussian chap, the boring machine (highly recommended - absolutely beautiful!) and the usual assortment of freebie bits and bobs that ensure opening a box from Ramshackle is a bit like christmas... (the only problem is, I want to preorder Nuclear Renaissance 2.0, but my young lady might hurt/pour scorn on me if another big box arrives...)
all that's left is my artizan order and a few bits from ebay before construction begins with gusto (though I'm determined to see this project through without getting distracted. Unless I do cave and get NR2.0, in which case I never said a word...)
-
As the post seems to have started working again...
Were all these miniatures ordered a long time ago? I ask because I’m waiting for a bunch of figures I bought of eBay UK…
-
Got my Frothers zombies and the latest zombie mob from Studio miniatures :D
-
The post in the UK has been disrupted since the New Year due to a bit of snow. Our local office actually closed completely for a week. I have nothing outstanding now but 4-5 UK orders from pre-xmas, some posted pre xmas too, have only arrived this week.
I posted an ebay sale to Canada before xmas that only arrived last Friday also.
-
Thanks very much Svennn. That’s good news… so to speak. The gentleman that sell me the figures offer me a refund but I’ve ask him to wait a little just in case the figures arrive later.

I'm very excited.
Two squads of late war Germans from Artizan (painted up six already) plus four Fallschirmjaegers with anti-tank weapons. They didn't have any regulars with those weapons at the store so these guys don't match completely but that's alright.
Also, 3 packs of French Foreign Legion from Artizan. My old water polo coach was a legionnaire and my father-in-law fought against them. Got 4 painted up already, 4 primed and based, and 4 just assembled and sanded into shape.

I WOULD LOVE THAT MINI!

I have bought a set of the 'Bella Manicotti' a limited edition FLintloque unit, as well as 2 of their 'Trolka' miniatures, to try painting them before buying a whole army at salute!

no more of: now that you've spent twice the entire miniatures budget for this month, for the fourth month in a row, you should calm down a little until at least the start of next month. ;)
-
Just got a bunch of flintloque stuff second hand.
Really happy, got a quite good deal (not as good as I have ever had).
Won't post pictures as I doubt anyone really cares! But the fella selling them really failed to do his research, had hundreds of quid worth of stuff and is selling it in lots of eBay willy-nilly without doing much actual research. Shame really.
-
The 3 motorbike riders from EM4. Excellent service as usual. How can EM4 get it so right and other companies get it so wrong?
-
Some people live in a fantasy world, that's why.
Em4 are a lovely bunch. :)
-

Great service
Thanks ladies

A regrettably small order from our very own Doc Twilight's Black Army Productions just netted me a Walking Ghost, Nikola Tesla and the extraordinarily voluptuous Mata Hari.
Doc, seriously mate, they are wonderful figs, very cleanly cast and a lot finer than they appear in the pictures - for some reason I was expecting Tesla to be a bit of a giant and was pleasantly surprised that he wasn't.
So, he's getting a pith helmet and will lead a VSF expedition to the Red Planet, Mata Hari will be taking the role of Goa'uld queen for Stargate adventures, and the Ghost can do what he likes (any man wearing purple spandex is obviously too tough to mess with).
Cheers Doc! :)

One box of Perry Wars of the Roses plastics. A total impulse buy after seeing Captain Blood's painted retinue.

Thank you for the kind words, mate! I can't wait to see them painted up all pretty like. I haven't had a chance to paint my Mata Hari yet, but she is quite a looker, ain't she? I'm trying (rather poorly, at the moment) to convert Mr. Tesla for my own Austro-Hungarian Expeditionary Force with at least a simple uniform. I've got some basic bits added on, but I'm keen to see how yours looks when done.
Tesla does look huge in the photos; he looked even larger in the original green, so much so that I had to ask James to tone him down a bit (he just seemed to muscle-bound, even for one of my childhood heroes). I think he turned out nice and purty. And of course, the Ghost goes without saying. He's one of my favorites, and our best seller, currently.
Anyway, thank you -very- much for the kind words, and for your support.

ScanFed and Islamic Federation introductory fleets for Full Thrust from GZG, especially the former look really nice. May have to get more when these are painted :)

Armoured war elephant (with extra trunk-wrapped victim!) with Successor crew, Italian Hill Tribes command, several exquisite LBMS decal sheets and a pack of Northstar's wire spears - all through Aventine Miniatures. Figures are, for the most part, excellent, although some of the calf muscles are a little over the top and the anatomy of the arm removing an arrow from the quiver on one of the archers looks a bit dodgy. I don't think mine can bend that way! The elephant is very impressive and quite heavy, which is probably why it attracted the attention of our beloved Canada Customs. :-[ Overall, very pleased and I'll definitely order some more figures from Keith.
-
Received a heap of Heru models from Wargods of Aegyptus, bought second hand from co forum member Black-bear yesterday :)
-
Only Heru I have (so far!) is a Battle Sage. Got all the Sebeki, though. Really like Crocodile Games' minis, particularly since they draw on one of my favourite periods, Ancient Egypt.

picked up a mishmash of stuff from a friend...lots of old stuff I haven't seen since I was a kid. Ral Partha colonials, some kriegspielers etcetera. should be fun to see if I can do anything with it. :)
-

i have, going to paint the infantry before doing *anything* else for them tho, not even going to buy a tiny chopper until they're painted :D
-
some kriegspielers etcetera.
Any old fantasy types? Let me know, I'm still trying to fill gaps....they can mostly be picked up from classicminiatures.net but Michael casts in pewter :'(
Oh, and more to the posting, just got some old Clarecraft polished pewter Discworld minis. Can't id most of them but it's going to be fun trying!
Gripping Beast morris men and some WW1 German heads in gasmasks.
-
Uh oh.
This is bad...
I keep moaning about the Flintloque Lead Mountain... But why do I keep adding to it?! :o ???
-
Lots of stuff recently but my favourites are - SAS in Afghanistan from Empress and, the ultimate, 24 Dr. Who miniatures from Who North America, including Sea Devils, Ice Warriors, the Brig, Sgt. Benton and some UNIT troopers, in their original boxes, including the fact they were designed by GW in 1986 - oh, and I opted for the Who NA tote bag, just cos it is rather cool (soon to be seen full of minis at Salute - I have an addiction!).

I got a set of those - good price for them!

Artizan Nachtjaeger to complement my Pulp german droptroopers
-

Wow, you've done well to find them!
I have the Kallistra ones for my colonial Flintloque games, brilliant models.
-
Just to rub it in, I tink its a complete set - not sure if the shaman was there though (didn't want to pay too much attention to them yet, gotta finish other projects first...) :)
-
My latest fix of Eureka Wars of the French Revolution figures arrived. I have 20 Austrian cheveaux-leger, 2 Austrian guns with crews, a big bag of infantry types, and the other half of the French horseholder at the well vignette set. Even the wife is happy this time since I got the stuff in trade for painting services!
-
@ Aaron, are you on some kind of mailing list to receive all these figures? Are they some sort of pre-cast figures… I can't see them on Eureka’s site. Thanks
-
Chaos Dwarf Bazooka team. I've wanted one since I first bought Warhammer Siege in the early 90s, so I'm very happy with myself.
-

I am actually. It is one of the benefits of buying in to the range early on via the "100 club". The "unwashed masses" ;) normally have to wait a few months to a year for them to make it into production.
Still, the fellows at Eureka and Eureka USA are very polite and reasonable so if you are interested I'd send Rob an email http://www.eurekaminusa.com/ (http://www.eurekaminusa.com/). He is probably on his way to the Cold Wars convention in PA, so you might not hear back for a week or so.
I forgot to mention that I was extremely nervous about painting the elaborate lace edging on the early Austrian cavalry shabraques, but when the figures arrived I noticed that they had sculpted the pattern on the figures! :o

I'll second that. He's courteous, fast and good to deal with. I was very impressed. And Cold Wars is on the 11th, so you should have some time.
-
Oops, you're right. I was thinking it was this weekend. Sorry about that!
-
Britannia/Inkerman Malayan Emergency miniatures.
They are a good size 28 mm miniature and wonderfully detailed. Congrats to Dave on some lovely minaitures for both sides.

Today I received a small order of Texans from Malamute’s Boot Hill Miniatures.

Foundry EVA Manila men along with some tigermen and bandits courtesy of Ming - some call him mercilless but I say he is a very decent chap indeed.
-
Force of arms Mutt driver & passenger *2, one set for Nam one for ultramodern conversion :)
-
Four more Clarecraft Discworld minis (90's, not the very new ones)...
Recognized everybody in the collection except for the last one. Who in the Discworld is Lisa Bluestone? Oh, it's Lias, 'Cliff' in other words.
-
A CV33, a set of Fucilieri and a set of Askari from Empress Miniatures. Lovely stuff I must say!
-
I just received:
16 Krautian Dwarf Line Infantry
20 Krautian Dwarf Landwehr
20 Krautian Dwarf Guard
12 Krautian Dwarf Jaeger
8 Al-Garvese Goblin Cacadores
:D
All of them are pre-painted, second hand from a guy on ebay. They are quite nice.
I'm intending on rebasing them and retouching them, opposed to repainting. So giving them ink washes for shading and then normal highlights. Should be good!
All the beards are one colour though, weirdly. So I'll have to repaint those!
I think the paint is Coat'd'Arms as it is a little 'dusty'... Reminds me a lot of the dwarves my friend painted using those paints! :)
-
Freebooter Doc Taranto :-*
-
A pack of 3 zombies from Reaper. Also the Hunter/adventurer figure from their Chroniscope line.
-
Hasslefree's Captain Kev - turned up on Saturday morning, and had to paint him up right away.
:)
http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=17090.msg204873#new
-
15 zombies from KING ZOMBIE's range. Cool stuff!
-
9 Blisters of Great War Miniatures - Early WWI French Infantry (one of each available plus another HMG)… and a bunch of paint bottles :D
-
Well very reserved at Overlord, managed to resist impulse buys but did pick up the Empress Moderns which are cracking. Also cards for Ambush z
-
I received some great Chronopia miniatures from a trade. They include some viridian lords, the Monarch (guy mounted on stag), and a goblin shaman on drone. All of them are cooooool.
-
just picked up 17 Reaper Cronoscope figures from Miniature Giant great company to deal with. Reaper just added a Female spy (Agatha Fox) an Andrew Rae piece) I had loved that figure when I first saw it on his blog and was so happy to see it produced.
I love this range of figures, there is something for everyone and as a painter not a gamer so much I am not tied to a type of figure. So I got Sci fi, old west, some girls even a deep sea diver and Uncle sam x 2 one I am turning into an undertaker.
-
Cavalcade Ming Chinese :) £13 customs charge :-[
-
Bunch of old Hinchliffe fantasy off ebay including one Sci Fi mini I hadn't seen before :D
-
Fantization have finally sent me my Bobby Jacksons 'Thugz' I odered in January, they have been a whie but well worth the wait!
Now, where are my Assault Group SWAT in baseball caps? :D
-
Four Westwind Victorian coppers. LPL Round 10 here I come :)
-
Just recieved one of the mofo royal marines deals from gripping beast. Not sure I'll even use all the figures but was ordering before work and it was easier than deciding which individual packs to order ;)
-
A handful of Battlforge Halflings from White Knight. They are better figures than I expected from the pics on their website, and I'm hoping they won't be too out of scale with some of my others.
-
3D's Thrade Rifle force and Emissary via Rattlehead Games, 5 Eureka cultists via Fighting 15s, and 4 Grenadier barbarians from Ebay.
-
An entirely unexpected gift from a friend: over two dozen GZG spaceships from their Full Thrust line, all part of an NSL (Germans, mostly) fleet. Everything from a superdreadnaught down to light cruisers.
Gifted because "you're more likely to paint the damn things than I am, realistically." lol
As payment, he wants the chance to blow them to space dust on the table. Either by commanding them to their destruction or by opposing them, either works.
I already have a small flotilla of NSL ships lurking in the lead mountain somewhere, so now have a sizable fleet available to paint!
-
The two hybrid deepones packs from rattrap arrived 2 days ago ;D
-
My West Wind package arrived this morning (well, about 2.15pm actually) containing 8 Zendarian riflemen, 4 Zendarian Vampire Slayers (not Hunters ;)) and the Tsar and family; this will be the basis for my projected Ruritanian force as well any sinister Eastern European Counts etc that may crop up from time to time (as they do).
-
Got a package from DaveT with some Foundry landsknecht orcs, some cherubs and the panto set.
Also the WW2 and ECW wargames illustrated vignettes.
-

A pre-slotta dwarf on stilts! :D
-
A pre-slotta dwarf on stilts! :D
Originally sold as "Dwarf with an inferiority complex", if I remember rightly.
-
That's right, I forgot the name!
I think there were 2 versions, a pre-slotta and a slotta one...
-
Not so much a mini as a future mini - a really nice, basic sculpt your own mini set from ebob.
Mix that putty!
-
Having just gotten back from one of the larger local cons, one city away, a good haul:
3 packs of Pulp Figures 28mm, including the very amusing Sons of Empire pack.
2 packs of Strange Aeons 28mm from Uncle Mike.
1 RAFM COC roadster car, 25/28mm.
8 packs of Reaper fantasy figures, about 14 figures all told. A steal at $1/ea - a local store had closed late last year and this was the very last of their stock!
I very nearly came away with one of Warlord Games' 28mm ECW Army Boxes, but the cost was a bit too rich for my budget at present... sometime not too far away, though!
-
I finally got my WWI French Dragoons today from North Star…
Frankly I’m a little disappointed as one of the figures is badly miscast… >:(
-
12 Foundry 28mm Ancient North African Light Cavalry - painted & based.
22 BF 15mm various Italian support figures
-
Woo! Neighbour just popped round to let me know that Royal Mail had left my post with them and not stuck a note through the door - cue excited opening of parcels to reveal studio miniatures' zombie horde 3, christmas zombies and oz survivor set!
Right, still have the first horde on the painting table and the second one still mib though...
-
Recieved a big box of castings from Griffin Moulds today.Just need to get bases sorted and a web site.

Both very nice minis
-
Got my package of Reaper minis today from Miniature Heroes (thanks Tim!) including Jolie the female Scribe (http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/jolie/sku-down/65051) which I think is a fantastic mini. Damn, now I have to learn how to paint so I don't ruin it...
-
Two more little black boxes of Perry goodness..... woodland indians with bows and casually marching southern militia.

-
A bunch of WestWinds minis, especially Eamon, the limited edition vampire.
Also, the 'zombie nazi' from Reaper, and their 'wannabe' Sgt. Rock.
-
Treated myself to some more Mutineer British at WMMS.
Also saw some lovely master castings of marching infantry and dollies for Highlanders and Naval Brigade. The new Ghurkas are very nice too. A very nice range this and it is only going to get better with the planned additions.
-
Got some Chronopia Firstborn Archers and Iron Guard.Still need to track down some Blackblood Goblin Archers and Spearmen.
-
A bunch of WestWinds minis, especially Eamon, the limited edition vampire.
Also, the 'zombie nazi' from Reaper, and their 'wannabe' Sgt. Rock.
Not heard of the Eamon figure, do you have a photo?
-
I won the Eamon figure on ebay this weekend.He was a special miniature which was given away when you ordered the rule book.
-
Spent a bit more than I intended at WMMS today...
Bought some:
Warrior Miniatures German Infantry with gasmasks and pickelhaubs
A bunch of West Wind Gothic Horror stuff for GASLIGHT...
A bunch of Thugs and stuff from Ironclad and Brigade Games (found a stockist at the show with a blister)
German Infantry with Jetpacks from Eureka (found second hand for cheap), going to convert to steam jetpack.
LOTS of Flintloque minis, including most of what I needed to 'finish' a Goblin army, bought some more painted Toads, some Dark Elf Guerillas, the rare as hell promo version of Sharke (looking more elven than orc as he is half-orc half-elf) and some Dwarves in Witchlands style clothing...
So yeah, I'm quite happy.
My girlfriend got some Western Buildings for her teddy bear cowboys miniatures from Eureka miniatures. :D
-
Got today my Ironclad order, the Sanwars, which I use as Tusken Raiders, the Martians and John Carter.
All together lovely minis :-*

-
Still waiting for my Ramshackle and Mantic orders, getting close to 2 weeks for both.
I just had an order from Ramshackle Curtis last week - he is really busy at the moment with all the new releases generating mountains of orders and him being a one man band.
Sure its nothing to worry about, but you could always PM him here if you want any info.

Hinterlands Miniatures new Princess Viktoria-Luise and Female Hussars sculpted by Paul Hicks.
12 miniatures from the US to the UK for $34 including postage (£22-something) in 8 days.
The Princess, Firing Line and Unit Builder packs.
Very happy. Lovely miniatures, cleanly cast.
Postie just popped them through the letterbox as well, so no tax or handling charge to pay!
Can't wait to paint them, and I've just ordered a 2nd set.
The only downside is I'm not sure my painting skills can do them justice.
Thanks Mancha
-
3 boxes of Mantic Ghouls, they are rather spiffing with lots of nice fine detail and fast service, mucho impressed

A little coup for my South American fad, not released so not sure how the chap got them perhaps precasts or some such. Just need another 27 to create a force :(

Where is this parade of cocks from? I don't recognize them? They are not Copplestone, are they?
They are copplestone and were part of their definct never to be released Americas range, the only figures produced were Conquistadors (only half finished) Afrocarribean renegades and Elizabethan Swash bucklers (mike owen)- inca and Aztecs again incomplete ranges were Josef Ochmann.
The three pictured were a pre released -forthcoming teaser painted by SD I think and are in their gallery on the Foudnry Site?
-
I just got a small pile of stuff I ordered to start putting together stuff for narative fantasy skirmish games.
Enigma Mini's Astharon, big minotaur, but not a savage looking one, it's great.
:)
I also bought a pile of the Evil Empires gobbo characters, cause they are so much fun and something I've thought were great since I was a wee kid. Of course it did take getting them at pretty much half price from a random online store that was doing temporary huge discounts of GW stuff to make me part with the cash.
:D
2 Common Gobbo characters, 2 Common Gobbo shamans, 2 Night Gobbo characters, 2 Night Gobbo shamans, and a Night Gobbo on a giant Squig...£45ish worth of stuff, got it for about 25 and a couple of quid delivery.

My goodness, this was my first purchase from Enigma and now I've had a propper look at the Minotaur and started cleaning it up I wish I had spent that £25 for the goblins on more Enigma models.
:?
On all but one piece there was no flash at all, the mold lines are nonexistent, and the metal is slightly softer than the Evil Empires so sorting what little there was to clean up was a breeze compared to any GW model I've ever bought.
::)
-
13 old marauder dwarfs from fellow LAF-er phreedh: 7 troopers with plug-in hands (minus plug-ins but I got some spares and will use plastics to complete the rest), an iron breaker, a cannon crew member, a champion with hammer and three of the classic dwarves with spears/pikes.
9 ol ditadel empire style halfling archers from Bruenor Odinson on frothers.
3 copies of the limited edition looting landsknecht with piggy on the Steve Dean forum.
A few warmachine menoth figures off ebay: Harbinger, Choir Warpriest and acolyte, Vassal, Reclaimer.
These will be combined with GW witchhunter and SOB minis and a few others into a futuristic Knights of Malta project. ;D
Also a set of the Menoth wracks. One of these will be used in a conversion of a GW dark elf cauldron of blood. :)
And, also off ebay: a blue moon manufacturing old west mail wagon. This will get a new horse (and a driver) to go with my Lucky Luke town.
-
I attended Hot Lead 2010 in Stratford Ontario. Most items were at least 25% off.

How does one get a box of miscasts? I'd love some!!! :)
-
How does one get a box of miscasts? I'd love some!!! :)
Ask Curtis.

Lots of goodies from Hot Lead:
Brigade WW1 Germans in Sun Helmets
2X Brigade Askaris
Reaper Chronoscope figs - Jane and Mal from Firefly. They have different names, but you know what they are supposed to be
Two Fat Lardies Sharpe and Harper
Flintloque Shark and Harpy
Misc. Street Violence Chick with flamer
Newark model soldier co. - James the Swordsmith.
And a few odds and ends.
-
The Flintloque Sharke and Harpy paint up like a dream. Wonderful sculpts, very funny. :D
-
Just recieved 3 Telosian Tank Droids and 5 Viper Droids from the Star Wars CMG, all for VSF. :D
-
WW2 Crusader miniatures; German Tank Hunters , German Pz39 A/T teams , French resistance and three Russian 76mm guns ( I swear I only ordered two) and delivered in seven days from UK to NZ. I can't believe the prompt response I'm getting lately with orders. :)
-
11 Red Box Games Dwarfs arrived yesterday! They are tiny, but very nice.
For the Mcdeath I'm working on...
-
3 Black Tree WW2 US Infantry comms from the Wargames Command Post's Ebay shop, and 3 Grenadier Nightmares demons from Ebay.
-
Eureka 28mm F&IW Highlanders - lovely.
-
Pricey stuff there mate. I can't believe how much infantry is from Fighting 15's.
-
Glad you like them SI. Eureka are a bit on the pricey side in the states too, but worth it IMO.
-
Newark model soldier co. - James the Swordsmith.
Is there a link for this guy, I don't know this company....probably working nights when it was mentioned ::)
Got 2 of the Steve Dean charity landsknecht which I have now misplaced.....2 days of looking and can't find them >:(
-

The trick is to not look for the them and they will reappear almost immediately ;)

Glad you like them SI. Eureka are a bit on the pricey side in the states too, but worth it IMO.
With postage, worked out at just over £22 for 12 (3 x packs of 4) so call that £1.80 each. I have also just payed nearly £11 including postage for 6 Conquest miniatures, which also works out at about £1.80 each. Both are cast overseas from the UK, Eureka in Australia and Conquest in the USA, which I guess will have driven the pricing. So expensive, yes, but I very much doubt that there's 'excess' profit in it for the UK distributors: I just consider myself fortunate that I was able to get hold of them! ;) :)
PS: And Aaron, your recommendation (and others') was spot on! :D
-
I guess you're right. If I couldn't get them at all, I'd moan about that. And I moan now because I have to pay a premium.
In a perfect world, they'd cast them here as well, but that I imagine, is impossible!
I am looking forward to an order from Fighting 15s, containing some German (prussian) Rocket troops (couldn't afford 10 of the clockwork ones, maybe a 'special' buy at Salute) and some (5) Krieghosen (get another 5 at Salute). I also got Hieronymous Pratt and his Audio Hat and Darwin. Pratt will be in my Prussian Army and Darwin in my British one. The Brits will use a mixture of Science and Alien creatures... I'd have him there as a biologist, recording and analysing alien creatures. :)
-
40 plains indian shields form Dixon and antoher Pistol Wraith :D
-
In a perfect world, they'd cast them here as well, but that I imagine, is impossible!
I guess! Anyways, Fighting 15s will give you excellent service - prompt and reliable. :)
-
They seem like nice guys. I try to email a company if I like their stuff to test the water.
Best reaction has always been Alternative armies. You usally get a reply the next day, it's always happy and they spend time answering the emails. Even better when you ring them.
I just ordered some stuff from F15's, so I'm hoping they come soon! :D
-
Yesterday received Black Scorpion's Bromhead figure, plus my second set of Hinterlands' Female Victorian Hussars.
Today a parcel from West Wind containing their excellent "Vampire Wars" London Bobbies and German Pickelhaube Helmet & Gas Mask heads for VSF Prussian conversions.
Still no sign of my order for Renegade's early WWI Prussians and French, :?
-
The renegade orders seem to be a bit slow at the mo.
The west wind pickelhaub heads are tiny!!! I wanted them on my renegade germans, but no way!!!
The vampire wars line is great for mobs of blokes. I'm gathering the thugs on London to join the anarchist fist!
I'll have to order some of those Hinterlands lassies, perhaps with my next paycheck after salute. :)

Time to eat my words, lol
My Renegade order arrived 15 minutes ago.
Early WW1 French Infantry, Chasseurs and Cavalry
Early War German Infantry and Cavalry.
All Regiment Deals, and very good value, :D
Destined to be VSF French & Prussians.
Eventually (its quite a horde all in one go :?)
There seems to be some variation in the size of the West Wind heads. I had some WW2 British and German a while back, which are definitely larger than the Pickelhaube ones. Nice sculpts though, so I'll find a use for them.
And I definitely recommend the Female Hussars from Hinterland. Lovely figures

4 Black Tree Celts from Ebay

I really must get some more renegade stuff and take advantage of their 5 for 4 deal.
Bloody good value, but yeah, lots of cleaning up and basing!!! Same happened to me, the minute I said 'Gawd, these are taking aaaages' on the net, they turned up about 15 minutes later! ;D
Madness...
-
Oops, I forgot, I received some of the Musketeer Miniatures BUF miniatures and the Anglican League characters earlier this week too.
Now that I think about it, and looking at the pile of figures, its probably time to let my credit card cool down for a bit.
(Are you listening Ironclad? There is absolutely no need to rush getting out the new figures I've seen as greens in your photobucket account, lol)
(And there is a part of me that is glad the Ratnik Steampunk figures won't be available form Miniaturicum for a while yet. A small part, admittedly, but still...)
-
Yeah, I NEED* some of those Ratnik minis! And definately that green from Ironclad so gracefully hidden in their photobucket.
*Disclaimer: 'Need' in this sense is just a rather large want!
-
The new Imperial Chinese from Redoubt (and a load of their Boxers ::)) They are only listed on the website so I had to buy "blind" hence one of each. The officer does have a sword but mine broke off in the packet.

Yeah, I really like Bob's style of sculpting - and though there are better sculptors out there, his minis have a lot of character - and they are just PERFECT for those pulp/high adventure/call skirmish games 8)

-
Received in the post today, two charity miniatures of the Landsknecht from Steve Dean forum and designed by Paul Hicks. Special thanks to Stephan whom commissioned the miniature in the first place. Very nice miniature with really lovely detail.

Courtesy of Eastern Barbarian, some old GW orcs. I do love my 1980s orcs, ah those happy days when you could get 60 minis for a tenner (but then, beer only cost 80p a pint).
Cheers EB, they join the ever-increasing mound of green things...
-
About 100 Star Wars, horrorclix, mageknight and heroclix prepaints for repainting o_o
-
Store up north was doing a bit of a clearout (Millennium Games, formerly Crazy Egor's, for those of you who may know them from the US game con scene). Back room had a half dozen Miniature Building Authority houses for 50% off... but I resisted. Instead focused on the deep discount bins upfront and got...
3 blisters of weapons for Cell Entertainment's "Ronin"
12 blisters of Rezolution minis, mostly Ronin and Dravani
All for the bargain price of $1 apiece. Then there was the major score of this monster (http://ironwindmetals.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=94_96&products_id=3209) for $5.
Which, of course, led me to a frantic last minute bid on these beasties (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370364944783).
Now to figure out what I'm going to do with all these snarly things.
-
Uh-oh... :o You just made me fantasize about using growlers as mutants for some near future gaming... possibly even zombie-virus mutations.... Grrrrooowwlllll....... o_o lol
-
The new Artizan British shock troops and about 19 Infinity ladies,lovely :-*
-
Some lovely Saxons (Early Napoleonic) by Foundry, some 18th c. civilians (and the new pack of flech colours by Foundry).
They arrived in less than a week (incl. weekend, when noone was to collect them at the office), so it means they were not affected by volcanic ash and flights banning.
-
GB Viking traders from Ebay for my Pig Wars games.
Foundry "Falling Out at Rendezvous " wild west figures, also from Ebay.
-
Grenadier Guard command from Ironclad together with Fu-Manchu and his daughter. My first purchase from them, very nice. Real wargaming minis, if you catch my drift.
-
The rest of my Reaper order from Miniature Heroes - thanks Tim! Now I have D'Kuhl the Bathalian, my plans for world domination near fruition!
Mwahahahahaha...

And this morning, more old(ish) GW orcs; 31 assorted plastic orcs and goblins, mostly from the early '90s, a wolf, 4 boars and a chariot, all of which are desperate need of repainting. Don't watch this space, it'll take a long time to assimilate this lot to my Orc army...

I just got a new bunch of Reaper miniature s from miniature giant (great service from them as always) Reaper miniatures have always been a favorite of mine Being a painter not too much of a gamer, but as always they are a bit hit or miss with the casting quality. Almost all of them have serious mold lines and a lot of clean up will be necessary before a brush can touch them. The figures themselves are very cool and I have almost all of the Chronoscope line. At first glance I really like the Wild West bartender and he will go well with my Black scorpions West figures. Got a victim on a spit(you need someone to rescue) a Cold war spy (which is much smaller than reapers normal fair but will match well with Hasselfree figures) the Modern town folks Students are really big and look more like parents than students but still nice figures +6 more all are really nice.
-
Woodbine Morris Dancers. Those are going to be fun to paint. I'm naming the leader after Captain Blood. :)

A couple of cheap reinforcements are on their way from eBay- a heavy armoured Citadel skeleton (I've got a bunch of skellies in the painting queue but I wanted a guy with a really animated pose to replace the cattle-skulled champ from my metal chariot) and the open shirted Frateris Militiaman because he looks so ridiculously space opera.

Corporate Wars Assassins
Corporate Wars Enforcers
Gangs of Golgoville Lola, Flip and Dr Zorglberg.
Strangely enough stinking of cigarette smoke >:(
-
Oompa Loompa Askari regiment??? ;D
Something like that. I might even paint them with orange skins, though probably not green beards. The British (will, in years after 1890) call all of the non-human Atlanteans 'Morlocks' anyway, so why not...?
-
Oompa Loompa Askari regiment??? ;D
Armed with licorice whips and exploding candy grenades?
-
lol
I might have to paint my hobgoblins with orange skin and green hair. They are described as having orange skin.

Care of Dusser, 32 WWI Australians! They'll be laying down the Imperial flag and taking up the Dutch as KNIL troopers.

I got some minis for sculpting and some spare parts from AA. Also a couple of new flintloque minis, the Mortar is flippin beautiful. Smooth as anything miniature.
The chaplain is also nice, I don't think I'll have to resculpt any of it!!! :)
-
Got some more stuff from Mirliton, mostly to add to my Empire project. Some more of their Dark Elves to serve as Empire based Sea Elves (hence the clothing). I will probably replace the raptors with barded empire style horses.

(http://www.mirliton.it/images/catalog/DE016.jpg)
(http://www.mirliton.it/images/catalog/DE019.jpg)
And a Martinella Bell Wagon to serve as some sort of alternative war altar. I will probably pimp it somewhat with decorative bits.
(http://www.mirliton.it/images/catalog/Martinella-2.jpg)
And some blacksmith accessories and figures (building not included):
(http://www.mirliton.it/images/catalog/KIT005.jpg)
(also some of their separate heads that are a good size and quality)
Also got a small package from Black Cat Bases with the zombie bird swarm and some nice cthulhu themed accessories. Great stuff! 8)

Nice loot you've got there, WWK. I've been eying the same Mirliton stuff for quite a while. I dislike their online store though.
-
It also sucks they add VAT when you're going to the checkout and see your total bumped up again.
-
Are the Martinella Bell Wagon and the blacksmith accessories and figures from Mirliton too?
-
yes they are. From their historical range. There's some good stuff in there.
-
It also sucks they add VAT when you're going to the checkout and see your total bumped up again.
They pile it high on check out. :-[
VAT *and* handling *and* PayPal fee *and* postage... Booo!
-
yes, it really sucks. :(

A parcel from Troll and Road, containing the released figures in Heroclix to form the Excalibur team members (both volume 1 and 2)

I'm not sure that is legal. To my knowledge, listed prices must include VAT in the EU when a store is selling to end consumers.

A D&D miniatures Intellect Devourer. I think. The postie left a note saying the box didn't fit in my letterbox. I get the feeling it's been drastically overpackaged. I'll find out in a couple of days.
-
My Renegade order finally came! 169 chinese for my Three Kingdoms project (although annoyingly it seems I clicked on the wrong button for one blister, and ordered the wrong thing, but it was Good Friday when I placed the order, so I'm just happy to have some miniatures right now... now, if only Arcane Miniatures would either send the stuff I ordered around the same time or at least reply to my emails...)
-
Back order:
Chronoscope:
John Bishop, Space Marshal
CyberreaVers (4)

I got a North Star surprise bag #1for 9 BP out of curiosity. I post this picture just the case someone is curious as me what to expect. A decent mixture of many periods and themes good for some inspiration and still worth the money although a few libyans less would have done no harm. :)

Some Flintloque models from Ramirez Noname
Also some more Space 1889 stuff from RAFM. They are beatiful models and I can see myself (very slowly) building up a collection of them. This time it was the 'Legions of Mars' pack, that was unillustrated on their site, so I took a leap. It contains 20 Martians and 1 Martian beast (Gashunt?). They are beautiful sculpts, especially considering they are 20 years old!!! :)
I think I will get some cloud martians next time and perhaps a couple more canal martians to bulk them out into units. :D

From Stuff of Legends - Grenadier FW Barbarian warriors blister pack:
(http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~tpope/sol/grenadier/images/0922.jpg)
Unfortunately the spear tip is missing from one, but a little brass rod and GS will fix that.
The previous owner had glued them to ceramic tiles and used grout to texture the base. :o I'm hoping the acetone bath will fix that.

Wow, they ARE old. Remember them vaguely - they are not in my collection..... have most of the Fantasy Warriors barbarians, but not those...

They are a similar size to the other FW barbarians, so I don't think they've been added from an earlier range.

Westwind ; NVA support weapons ,
Worth getting?

No, but I think they were one of the first sets made for that series....

Ramshackle Games:
11 gorgeous Dungers :o
Fantastic minis! I'll have to get more, when these are done!
I think they would work splendidly as war beasts or mounts for lesser goblinoids or other such ilk.
That's not what I intend them for, but still.... ::)
-
Perry minis first crusades priests. Very nice minis that should go well for many different periods.
-
11 plastic 2nd edition Space Marines caked in paint off ebay and now in the Mr.Muscle strip dip.
-
28 more British for the Mutiny from Mutineer including 20 Highlanders so I am having to prepare to gointo kilt mode ::)
-
Worth getting?
I think so but they are a mixed bag ; The Officer or NCO figure is a little odd waving a machete and AK47 around. The crews look a little small but should paint up ok.
The Mortar is not as nice as the TAG models but the HMG (DshK38 , I think) and recoiless gun looks good to me.
I wont be painting these up anytime soon as I need to have a break to do some Naps for a Demo game coming up in a couple of months.
-
Two Old Glory Boer War pompoms. I am going to convert one of them to an AA and I wonder if anyone has any good photo references...

More stuff from eBay. Specifically the old Demonstrators pack sent out by CCI/AA for FLintloque and a bunch of Dogmen. Also a pack of Goblin Heavy Cavalry and a pack of Elven Lanciers Rouge. :D
-
WWI Austrians from Brigade Games in the US. Lon@Brigade really knows how to move those orders, even overseas. How they always seem to dodge customs I don't know. I entered the order on May 17th and got it in the mail today, the 24th.

They're made by Rendra, so better than WF immediately. They're quite crisp in detail but still not on par with the best metals I've seen. There are very few imperfections in the castings I had, a couple had that strange pinpoint depression that plastics sometimes get in their backs. I don't view it as a major problem. I like them a lot.
-
they certainly look good on the pics
I still haven't figured out how many types of helmets there are and which ones - they were too small on the frame pics

caliver books;
a few foundry paints

-
"Serafine LaRue" from Studio McVey. A bit of a splurge, since it's a collector-oriented figure with a price tag to match. What can I say, I like well executed character stuff.
It's an amazing sculpt, with nearly flawless casting to boot. Even discounting the limited edition aspect, comparing it to most normal figures is a clear case of "you get what you pay for". It's really that impressive.
-
Tengu models Zombies - great minis, speedy delivery!

Bag of plastic mini Cthulhus of ebay. Lovely!

Some Kraytonian Arka tanks and Zurall skimmers from Dark realm miniatures. 6mm, the next group project at the TSA `Far Side` lol

1 x Warlord Games Royalist infantry
1x Warlord Games Firelock storming party
2 x Warlord Games Royalist cavalry
1 x Warlord Games Celtic Warriors
Supposedly these were cheap because the boxes were damaged, but that was really only the case with two of them. I've had far worse at full retail in the past.
and 1 x Mantic Games ghouls at full price.

Red cross parcel just arrived from the Perries:
a box of French Hussars, unlikely ever to hit the table, but I couldn't resist.
some French mounted colonels to finish off a few line regts.
my first ever colonials - a small sample of infantry (just 12) in Indian service dress. Now I need to work out a palette to paint khaki, my mixes always seem too brown or too olive somehow ...

Certainly looks like it! The other miniatures in the same range are right little ogres next to this one.

Got an Undead Command from Mantic Games. Great minis, or at least for that price. Easy to trim and it took me about 15 minutes from assembly to basing. Will try to squeeze them in between my africa project and my zed project.

I know I will give in, eventually... o_o

Of course you will, collecting miniatures is far more worse than being addicted to Herion ;)
The only downside of the Mantic models is that they don't really have that much options for assembly (I do compare them with some of GW's plastic kits). But hey, they're cheap and look really nice!

The uniformity is part of the 'keeping price down' deal. Still, they are plastics, and you can easily make some nice conversions with a few cuts and parts from other sets :)

Convention in Lille today, which wielded me a huge bag of heroclix from the second hand shop (about 60 models for 15 euros), a range of chinese warriors I have no idea from how its called (due to not being able to speak chinese) including 2 mounted characters from a local french trader, and a heap of 6 to 15mm scenery bits and bobs

One of the big Skullcracker birds from Cavalcade. Good looking mini and darn fast shipping.....and the 800 pound gorilla that squats in the Guam Post office did not manage to get to it!! :o :o Good boy, heres a banana lol
-
Some Black Army Productions figures and I'm really impressed with this batch. The first few were a bit smallish and of mixed quality (though all very usable), but these are wonderful figures up there with Artizan, Pulp Figures or the better Paul Hicks sculpts, both in terms of quality and size.
The ventriloquist has two dummies to choose from (the second one will make a nice decorative accessory). The three Japanese figures will make great characters in my Weird War II Japanese force. 8)

Two of Tobsen's blimps with gunners and maxims just came in - I already have two different gasbags with Imperial German crowns in place already to replace the gasbags provided. Very nice casts for a project in the works for over three years. Major Weenie if you see this (secret Bengal Club handshake) this goes back to the Germans/Mexicans with kepis (similar to German police) that you sold me maybe 4 years ago. Now I have to start work on the double Zeppelin transport.

I got the new Austrian handlangers and a pair of guns for them to man handle, cheveauxleger at rest, and enough French fusiliers in firing line to make up my next regiment.
I also picked up a couple of 15/18mm AB Napoleonics to check them out. They are stunningly beautiful. I don't know how they managed to pack that much detail in. :-*

Picked up a pack of Ironclad Miniature's "Evil Henchmen" on Saturday -
Okay, time for everybody to get mad at me again... :?
Ironclad makes great stuff... but when it comes to ordering stuff over the net, their service sucks.
-
I thought they were okay... ???
-
I thought they were okay... ???
Ironcladman is a nice enough guy.
I have ordered from him only once (3 packs of infantry and 1 steam tank), but it took over a month to get and I was missing the stack for the tank when it did come.
I want to order more... but over a month for delivery... ???
-
Lots of lovely Hasslefree Dwraves..I am in dwarf heaven :-* very fast secure and great service as we all know from Kev and Sally

I got an order just the same in a week or two. Perhaps it was the time of year you ordered?

And for us non-island dwellers, there's a delivery time for at least one month nowadays.
I blame the Royal Mail.
-
I blame the Royal Mail.
Indeed, add in the Spanish Mail and you have a disaster on your hands... o_o
However, in my case the problem was that the tank I ordered was not available. Perhaps adding an "in stock" feature to his site might do the trick.
As I said, I love the minis and the tank, and I was planning to buy a whole lot more. But the time it took to get the order put me off so badly, I doubt if I will order from him again unless I have some indication that the stuff he offers is available to buy.
In hindsight, I apologize for hijacking this thread which is not meant for critiquing manufacturers but for posting folks "Latest mini received."
Sorry... do carry on all.

Another Leading Edge Queen....
-
An order of saracens from Black tree UK, respecting their 1.5 month delivery time punctually lol
All boos and woes apart on the company, I really like their models and comming from a country where `online shopping` has only just outgrown it`s child shoes (hell, only since this year we can `pump up` paypal straight from the bank accounts) I don`t even bother it takes that time.
-
'The Belgian Detective'. I'm going to paint it up and give it to my parents. :)

Recieved the Mantic Undead Cavalry miniatures today.Great sculpts with some very fine details.They also put in the Thinking Elf miniature free.

Hi,
Picked up a pack of Ironclad Miniature's "Evil Henchmen" on Saturday -
(http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1292/4681583595_f8dea7b239.jpg)
Perhaps I missed them, but I just went through their online catalog, and can't find these anywhere. Where did you find them?
-
Yep, I'd like to know where they are aswell. :)
-
Unreleased as far as I can tell.
-
I picked up at set of these at a show from the Ironclad stall. So they are in production
-
Definately in production as I picked up 2 sets at Salute, but what I meant was 'unreleased' as in not on their website. :)
-
I e-mailed them directly and Sally said that I could keep the wrong mini and get the right one as well.
That's what I call customer service :)
I know I need more Hazmats, but I wanted to start with just four. Got another project which eats away my time as well ;)
And funny enough, another parcel came from HF.
With the same wrong mini lol
-
Crooked Dice not-who and Pond - really have to say wow, in the metal they're even nicer than in the preview pics!
-
Couple of handfulls of Mythos-related stuff (mix of Artizan, Foundry(?), Eureka or Steve Barber (I think ?), some kind of prepainted clix-like stuff with square bases (including a kind of formless thing), and a kind of conglomerate thing, all maw, arms and legs - all courtesy of Malebolgia!
Thank you, mate, you put a smile on my face, here. :)
Just have to paint up some Treshold agents, then I'm ready to do something to quite a few of these!
-

Moar Dorfs! Black Tree Dwarves to be precise. I'm getting consistently good service from BTD it seems they are trying hard to repair their former reputation. Kudos to them.
Oh and a couple of DeeZee Mammoths from Northstar for the Dwarves to ride into battle. One scratch-built howdah done so far :P.
Far too much on the painting/modelling table at the moment - ever since I unearthed the forgotten mountain of treasures in my loft.
-
Good news on the BTD front. I might get some of their dwarves. :)

Tell me, are the Sophie multi parts? i.e. do the wings etc require attachment?

Ouch. I vowed to not order stateside after getting hit for a similar sum earler this year. I really ought to get those Chinese myself so I think it will have to be Miniaturicum.

Except in the last set the guy with the pistol and megaphone(?) was replaced with the policeman holding a lantern from another set, didn't spot this till I got home, hope they haven't changed their pack contents.
-
Those Design 28 minis are interesting.
A little 'static', but the style reminds my a bit of Bob Murch's Pulp Figures - which I like.
Plus, you can always use some more 'passive' bystanders...
-
Ouch. I vowed to not order stateside after getting hit for a similar sum earler this year. I really ought to get those Chinese myself so I think it will have to be Miniaturicum.
With the state of the euro I think it was still cheaper to go to Canada. Even with the customs charge.
-
Yeah, it's the first thing I noticed, they're really big figures. I bought them for their coolness, but not sure I'll do anything with them... :(
Yeah this happens a lot with Reaper they forget scale! I know you're in Europe WhiteKnight and you're buying these off a website. I'm in the US and can seem nearly all Reaper figures at the local store before purchasing. So if you or any of you European's want to check the size of a Reaper mini you can pm me.

I picked up a packet of Eureka Huaxtec Suit Warriors and was pleasently surprised that they are a very hefty 28mm for a change, they fit in with my Foundry figures ok and I presume will also fit with TAG as well.
The next is a Rezolution C.S.O Warbot . I have been thinking of doing some conversion work on it so I can use it with my Terminators.

Nah, Foundry's WW1 Ghurkas.
But with very little greenstuff, I'll probably make them suit better for Central Asia. Besides, its Pulp, so who cares about the exact accuracy? ;)

thin paper and superglue might help..
for the straightening of the remaining stuff, plan it, and do it with one move if possible.
Today i got

Couldn't resist the "20% off" lure (although P&P devoured more than the saved cost) and ordered from the fancy new Foundry website:
(http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg236/Christian_S_1979/Modelling%20and%20Miniatures/2000AD/2000AD%20WIPs/FOUNDRY_JUNE.jpg)
Wulf Sternhammer, Johnny Alpha and the Gronk, plus Rogue Trooper, Torquemada and Nemesis. I've removed the base from Rogue because it was just too thick, and did some more-than-minor conversion work on Nemesis, which turned out nicely and much better than the daft pose he comes in. More pics in the 2000AD thread as I paint them up.
-
Crikey, I didn't realise Nemesis was so big!
So very tempted to take advantage of that offer too, but trying to be good...

I'm still tempted, only 50 pounds for a complete Judge Dredd collection...
But, as you said, the P&P (which is eight bloody quid to Sweden) is a killer...

While this is not a qualifier for my Shitlist, the cost of P&P is why Foundry won't make it to my list of Top Ten Best Miniature Sources.

Don't you get free postage if your order contains one of their books?

Don't you get free postage if your order contains one of their books?
Yes, but unfortunately, I had used that option on the one book I wanted when I ordered at their "last" 20% sale some 6 weeks earlier... X-D
-
Yup, I, to, am not very keen on these marketing scams where I am supposed to 'buy some shit you don't need and get something for "free" '.
I get my Foundry stuff from Miniaturicum and Battlefield Berlin which oddly enough seems to save me a few Euros.

Thank you for your high esteem of my ability to make an informed and uninfluenced decision... lol ;D ;)
For the first order, it was a nice coincidence because I actually wanted to get the Compendium as well as the figures (mainly for the Darkest Africa and Conquistador articles, which I didn't get back then in WI).
This time, what pushed me over the edge was the fact that the small figures cost 3 Pounds each instead of the usual 5, and Nemesis 10 instead of 11, ON TOP of which they deducted 20%, so compared to the old site's prices, I got the "smaller" figures for less than half price (2,40 instead of 5 each). If I calculate like that, the savings exceeded the postage, but if you consider the new site on its own, the saving was more or less academic.

Recieved 10 assorted barbarians from EM4 :)
Just a question; My minis arrived cleaned and primed. Is that what you usually get? I've recieved some scavengers from EM4, but that was 5 years ago, and I can't recall that there was anything special about them.
So is the primer alright, or do I need to clean up the minis and re-prime?

It depends, I guess, on the production lot. If they have been produced some time back, you usually get primed and prepared models, which is awesome (for example, my Terminator army and most of my Conan barbarians). If you get a newer casting, they are usually not specially prepared (but still excellent value for money); I recently ordered some more Terminator bots and a cyborg, and only the latter was primed.
The primer itself is rather good, if a bit smooth for my taste. You can use it to "pre-shade" the figure, which I did for some of my barbarians, by wet-brushing some white paint over the figure, but that depends on your painting style, I guess.
-
Thanks Chris :)
I've been thinking of pre-shading, guess that I should give it a try.

I'm going to glue them onto the pegs of flying stands, and voilá, adventures in the realm of Neptune ;)
(I shall, needless to say, need more seabed stuff, and make me a table with ocean floor sandbed to place the reefs and plants on... lol )
We went there with the kids to see seals and porpoises making tricks and learn about the wildlife of our surrounding oceans. Recommended if you ever go to Funen with kids. :)

Just got Studio McVey's Y'sala and Darkness model.
(http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_E28i20HyP4U/TAZhFl7MiEI/AAAAAAAAAjE/zjyWslMOIx8/s320/Y%27Sala_D_resin_group.jpg)
Far from cheap, but an utterly stunning sculpt well worth treating myself too.
:)
I may try to replace the pole of her staff with some brass rod or a metal part with some detail sculpted on it though as the resin is rather flexible and paranoia has already set in.
:?
-
Spooky, just recieved Lisbeth.
http://www.studiomcvey.com/
Absolutely gorgeous model, tempted to get more, but they are pricey!
-
Haha yeah I know what you mean, that's why for now I just bought the one I liked most...which of course had to be one of the most expensive.

I’m pretty sure that the preview figures for this set appears just minutes after I’ve placed my order… Oh well, I’ll just order more Pulp Figures later… there’s plenty of very nice figures to choose from isn’t? ::)

A load more E4M Future wars troopers, (for my colonial marines project) and I've been bitten by the 15mm Critical Mass Games bug so a shed load of Arc Fleet light recon troopers, Heavy Drop Troopers and Augmented Troopers, oh and a grav tank or two!

Stopped in to Eureka Miniatures during my visit to Melbourne last month. Came out with Sgt Rock-inspired WWII GIs, a string quartet, harpsichordist, Frederic and Voltaire and appreciative audience of 18th C types, a bunch of the Victoria Miniatures (hobbit Billy the Kid, colonial officer, various goblin faeries, imperial nobleman), various Victorian civilians, comic Germans and a pissoir. Oh, and obviously a few more winged, fezzed monkeys.

Are you planning warring factions of aliens, I seem to remember reading one of the series of books where they tried to tame and train soe aliens to fight others?

Lots of possibilities - the one you describe is one (a mad general tried to tame them, by threatening the Queen/eggs, and lead them back to Earth to combat the alien infestation).
Another scenario is different hives of aliens fighting each other (one of the books has "red" aliens...).
plus its good to have at least one, that I can put in restraints....

I don't remember what it cost. I just gave Nic $200 and walked out with as many minis as I could carry...

A good week for me. :)
Orders received from both Hasslefree (Got my first ever Grymn, since they had an offer on - crikey, they are small! But so, so pretty... :-*) and Heresy (Their not-Predator, the Hurn. Bigger than I expected, but some cracking sculpting and nice optional extras. Rounded out my order with Ellie and The Major, and Va'Durr, just cos he's funny.).
-
Some football players from A&A Miniatures' World of Soccer range.
They aren't on the A&A website, so here is a scan, flanked by a Copplestone mini dwarfed on the left, and a Reaper Chronoscope of a similar size on the right.
(http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz62/SteveFlanaganUK/2010%20-%2008%20-%20Aug/Footballers.jpg)
A bit big and a bit rough (not as good as A&A's ancients), but probably a better fit with my other minis than Eureka's footballers, which are 25mm.

Zombie Horde 001 from Studio Miniatures arrived in the mail today.
Once I get them painted should have my horde up to 45! 8)

"12th August 19-
Received a package with a Bengal postmark. Inside was a scribbled note and another package. The note was in the familiar hand of Professor Duckworth-Lewis, but his fevered scrawlings were just meaningless gibberish. Some kind of code perhaps, or had he finally lost his wits? As I went to open the package suddenly I hesitated. I was filled with a strange foreboding and unwillingness to continue, and put it down on the table. It was then that I noticed there were two words written upon it, again in the professor's hand..."

I received from Warlord Games the beautiful Highlanders.
They are IMHO the best Highlanders on the market.

-
Got a package from ChaosOrc(online retailer)
2 boxes and 2 blisters(12) of GW LOTR Easterling Kataphrakts
2 Boxes Haradrim Serpent Riders(just horsemen not snake riders or anything)
2 Versions of the hero Suladan the Serpent Lord
Using these for victorian fantasy types.The Easterlings are great sculpts and because the horses have some seperate legs I was able to make so many variants of pose between horse and rider that there are only two doubles out of 12. :-*
Then I opened the serpent riders, two poses cast on the horse >:(
All in all they are great sculpts and fit in well with my Foundry Indian and Brigade Games Mamelukes.
Pete
-
Quar :-*
3 new Croftyan rhyflers
Musician with bongos
3 HSG Teams and the Trench raiders
also the new rules Songs of our Ancestors :-*

I couldn't resist Foundry's last bargain with the 50% off any book with free shipping.
So I got 4 packs of Darkest Africa shields (its a bit annoying that you have to buy the spears and shields seperately).
-
Received 2 lots form OneBigRiva`s eBay clear-out, namely the scifi girls with guns and the nude centaurs.
Furthermore an Enigma miniatures Trictalion and Ulgren the Druid

- eltharion's griffon minus tail (will convert a replacement) with old kurt hellborg
- some plastic wheels and bits from commander vyper
-
Though they have arrived a few weeks ago I think the Reaper miniature range for Pathfinder RPG is a real treat. Very sweet miniatures. I got my hands on one Hook Mountain Ogre and the Valeros figure. Both exceelent quality and a lot of work to paint because of wonderful details. I'll post some pics when I've finished painting them (obviously in the fantasy thread section).
-

Zombie Mob 4 from Studio Miniatures :-*
-
From TheMightyFlip:
- Plastic Wolverine
- Warzone Mishima Samurai
- Hasslefree Dionne (b) with coat
- Mongoose GoMC1 Female Psi Judge
- Shadowrun (Ral Partha?) female psionic
And these 2 - does anyone know what they might be? The small black primed one is a male sci-fi trooper, 23 mm to eye, and the power armoured female would be about 25-26 mm to eye if she did not wear high heeled armour boots....
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/7/38_16_08_10_9_50_02.JPG)
-
Think the male sci-fi trooper is a competition piece from Hasslefree in their 'Sculpt a Kev' from a while ago.
Got the Dwarf Thunderlord from Avatars of War - am going with the double-barrelled flintlock for his left hand option as the great axe looks too OTT!
-
Think the male sci-fi trooper is a competition piece from Hasslefree in their 'Sculpt a Kev' from a while ago.
OK, thanks. Given its weird size I think it might end up as some kind of top-of-computer-screen-deco... mounted on a 20mm slotta filled with sticky-tag.
The female could be useful for a lot of things. Her left shoulder pad sports a heraldic lion, btw... Could she be from Fading Suns, or something like that?

I think the Fading Suns figures had finer sculpting, or rather, were more crisp. From the style, I'd suspect she's from the "Shockforce" figure line (I think the manufacturer was called "Demonblade"), which had a "Warrior Nun"/"Not-Sororitas" faction as well.

OK, so they have been OOP for quite a while....
Thanks. She'll find uses, anyway.

Went in to buy a white primer, came out with a white primer..... and 108-odd plastic figures. Battle for Skull Pass at 20% discount equals less than DKK 4 per mini. No way to resist. If funds had not been very limited, I'd have bought 5 sets.
I'm off to adjust my signature.... ;D

Am very tempted by those.... A perfect way to get some WWWII cannon fodder - which I'm going to need. Honestly.
But... I-am-not-going-to-buy-more-minis-before-having-painted-at-least-fifty-more.... (I figure, that if I keep repeating this to myself, it might actually work... ::) ). I gradually begin to think that I might have a shop-a-holic problem when it comes to little toy soldiers... :?
-
Since all the guns are separate, i'd say you could do a lot of funky stuff with them, i'm considering trying to convert a few into cold war east germans for example :)
Personally i've given up on the paint 2 for each bought and just admitted to myself i can't help buying more lol

I can stop anytime I want!

Heroclix Voodoo Priest and Voodoo Baron.
Does anyone know how to sever them from their bases without destroying their feet?
I just slice them off using a craft knife. I've heard some people say they put them in the freezer first as this helps make the glue brittle. I've never done this myself so I don't know if it helps.
-
I use a pair of side cutters to cut away the base so that only a small bit is still attached to the feet and then cut that bit off and sand the bottoms of the feet.
Much, much safer than some of my x-acto attempts.

Not-The Devil's Rejects, sculpted by Paul Hicks, sold by Carl at Raven Painting.

I was just out the door on Saturday to the Wargames club when I received a parcel from Britannia, What a decision open right there or after a twenty minute drive at the club ???.
Anyway I'm glad I took it with me as I could do a comparrison with lots of other Napoleonic figures from a few Manufacturers. :)
In the box was a small boat with Congrieve Rockets , a couple of Marines and two sets of Sailors (British) to Crew my Games of War boats.
When I got home I matched them up with my Foundry figures and am quite happy that they match well enough. :)

I don't usually go into Games Workshop, but I was at the right mall and was walking by and realized that they were having a flea market! on the main gaming tables so I went in and had a look. Apparently the idea was that you bring in your olds games workshop products and sell them for gift certificates. A weird and wonderful idea, wish they had done stuff like that when I was actually playing 40k.... I didn't pick much up other than a new bloodbowl troll for $5. That made me smile. And I just handed the guy cash which he gratefully accepted.

Yesterday brought ebay goodies in the form of a lotr hasharim (sp?) for a chinese assasin conversion and the fellowship of the ring because I fancied painting them up to go with the display base I got two of as a freebie when I was a nipper, and now can't find...
Today though brings some sci-fi inspectors for use as henchmen in Crooked Dice's 7TV and as generic peeps in Doctor Who, along with (as requested) a haiku by Craig on the packing note. And that's why I love Heresy.
-
Two packages, a nice assortment of Pulp figs from Robot Wizard which I'm very excited about. Some Japanese, some Chinese and a few Germans. In addition a small package from Black Tree Design. A Peter Cushing Doctor, the only one that I don't have. They also threw in a Cyberman, so needless to say I'm a happy man.

Oh, and I recieved the Plastic Soldier 28mm Russians this morning (only ordered them on Wednesday afternoon).
So, are they compatible with the normal 'chunky' 28 mm stuff, or are they more 'true scale' or upscaled 1/72 minis (like HäT's 28mms)?

Hope it's ok posting in this forum......
Next to an Artizan mini.

The Bolt Action Minis hard plastic Late War WW2 German Infantry. Early Birthday present from my sis. Very nice figures, I can't do them justice in assembling them, but I'll be able to paint them well enough! LOL! And talk about weapons! WOW!
-
Recieved some Goblin sculpts from Kev Adams today and sent them straight out to the mould makers with some other pieces.Looking forward to showing them off and getting some feed back.
-
3 kriegspiel musorians from Dsmith, most excellent figures and eureka will be getting some of my cash soon :D
-
Twenty 40mm figures and a couple of accessory packs by Trident Designs, thanks to Doug at Miniature Service Center in California. All Americans (not that I'm supporting those revolting colonists, I'm just not in the mood for red at the moment) and Hessians this time. Much nicer figures in the hand than they may appear on the website (which seems to be down with server problems, again, at the moment). Good clean castings for the most part, particularly the one-piece figures, with just a bit of tidying up to do, mainly on the weapons. I may actually force myself to get some of these painted up. At least I didn't order a Hessian standard bearer for the first go-around!

Plastic soldier company WW2 russians, i really like them, a bit soft but the way to go if you want a russian horde :D

Mongoose SST Grizzly battlesuit. For anchoring a Grymn gunline on.
Now, there... how much did you have to pay for that one? :o
-
Not much, £6.99 I think. Mongoose had a remaindered stock sale on last month and had a few going amidst the graphic novels.
Its nice, if not the smoothest cast, and I had to wait nearly a month for the bloody thing... still, will be a useful adition to the crew.

Very old Archive Miniatures dragon. Chuffed to bits :)

A wood elf musician carrying a `double drum` from i-kore, and a `sampler`(as in ordering some loose odds and ends to see if it`s worth it to start an FWC force from the range) from Plasmablast 6mm`s Progenitor force (and they are definitly worth it!)
-
The Otherworld Giant (thankfully not as heavy as I feared) and some other bits from them, including a werebear and werewolf that will join my (fantasy viking) jotunheim project, a nympf and the djinni.

thanks to gripping beast who got them here so fast!
-
14 big shiny Copplestone BoB British in tropical kit; 4 Lewis gunners and 10 riflemen.
The Lewis gunners include one support guy with rifle and about six Lewis gun ammo drums about his person, a very cool figure. Apparently I'm on the hook for lots more riflemen, though, as interwar Brit infantry formations only ran to one Lewis gun for every other 7-10 man rifle section... which means a four-pack is enough Lewises for two full platoons (eight sections)! I'm going to go with the theory that modern rifle sections will always attempt to scrounge more automatic weapons than their official TO&E allows, and intelligent officers will generally ignore this... lol
They are big figures, though. Haven't had a chance to look at them alongside my Pulp Figure or Artizan figures yet, but they're going to loom over the Artizans for sure.
Apparently some of the other Copplestone Brits are even bigger? The Gurkhas, I've heard?

Unfortunately LadyAsbestos made a rare venture out to the mailbox and wondered what was in the huge pkg! ::) The seven gladiators staring at her from atop the computer monitor as they got painted this week gave her a bit of a heads-up, but I don't think she was prepared for the scale of the new additions to my ludus. lol
Oh well!

Sure, this is the set I got (complete)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v328/the_hobbit_home/GUNTFBANStratV02_1.jpg)
If you google `Strategy Gundam Field`, you`ll get heaps of hong kong based (and some others) selling the sets, on average they go around 45 dollars for a full box, and some sell `opened` sets to see which ones are in it to make sure there are full sets. All in all, it knocked me back 28 euros total for the set through eBay at this seller
http://cgi.benl.ebay.be/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120631728426&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

10 X-Soldats from Scarab ;D Only 4 Days of Shipping to Switzerland,very low Costs,just perfect!

I just picked up a bunch of heroclix figures; I thought it might be fun to repaint them. I like the fact that they had lots of civilians/or civilian types but all in all it is a pretty mixed bag for quality. Although most are bigger than some traditional figures, I still think they will be able to fit in, much like Reaper miniature (But some are really big and I am not sure about usability).
On some of them the details is really good a couple are really nice, on others ehh…and a few are going to become zombie food.
But for the price not to bad
-
A dozen Empire / Mercenary crossbowmen from ebay, for only a pound plus shipping

Received: a goldcoloured metal "fève" figure off ebay which at first glance appears to come from the same moulds as the old metal magic Asterix range. I will try to compare it to my original figure over the weekend and if so, try to track down who makes these and what other figures they may have.

Age of Glory, EMpress' US stockist, just sent me 4 packs of Modern US troopers. They look lovely.
(Of course, he sent them to the home address, no the office, so my lovely bride greeted me on my return home with the query "Have you been ordering more of your little men?", which, in her eyes, are a colossal waste of money.)

Just recieved some Fatties from MOngoose for the Judge Dredd game.
Also picked up a few more pieces for the Critical Mass games Sci-Fi line.

Out of interest, what's the casting quality like on them? The female PSI Judge I just got was missing a hand and the Tek and Med Judges had horrible mould lines. :(
-
The moulding on them is fine.I got two of the same head which is a bit annoying but no big deal really.They come with square bases which I think is odd too.I did not realise how big they were.

My order of Ratniks from our good Prof. Despatched 02/12 received today. Quicker than an order from the UK sent out a few days before, but then we have had a few inches of snow ;)

Cheers for that, its maybe just the older figures then, need new moulds or something.

As Royal Mail in Hull is getting back on track after their two-week delivery hiatus, I received my pack of Khurasan Terran Strike Infantry in 28mm. Absolutely marvellous figures. I hope to paint them by the end of the week.
-
Khurasan again: got a Unit of 28mm Garn Warriors and the "November Travellers" Aliens from Zombiesmith
-
Does it count if they're "Latest Minis Found"?
Going through boxes in the cellar, I came across a packet of ECW curraissiers which a pal had given me as a "paint these so we can play with them" semi-gift - I thought that I'd given them back as my paint-queue had filled up in the months before I met my lovely bride. Needless to say, my paint-queue got back-burnered after I met her, to the extent that I'm only now reopening my paint kit almost 2 years later...

Ratnik Tunnel cutthroats from Lead adventure miniatures. Nice minis :-*

Some system trooper masters from Si and Lise at Pig Iron, (armatures and shoulder pads, torsos and leg poses and some new weapons too) for my halo project.
And some spuggs as 'not convenant' drones and grunts.

As I posted the pics of these finally on the Intewar board, I thought I'd show them over here too - they really were the last minis I recieved:
Cluedo cast (don't know which edition of the game I'm afraid) - (http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm219/redorc01/IMG_0649.jpg)
L-R (for those not familiar with the British version) Colonel Mustard; Miss Scarlett; Reverend Green; Mrs Peacock; Mrs White; Professor Plum
Destined to see service I suspect as both VBCW characters and as a Weird World War II investigation unit (even though they're very tall).

Dave,
Here on Hoth the postal transit corporation are having a little trouble modifying the T-47 post speeders to operate in the frozen conditions.
Those posties that went out on Tauntauns had to be rescued as their tauntauns froze before they got to the first marker.
(So no bloody parcels, shortage of Christmas presents/cards etc add to that the twins are unwell and mum and dad are going down fast, it has not been a good run up to the Christmas holiday, but worse things happen at sea, ask 'he who sleeps'. :D ).
The Commander

with apologies to Mark....
a large box of WEG...yum yum yum.....

The post broke through today
Champion from the Regiments of Reknown nightmare legion and a massive box of Black Cat Bases figures, scenery and some unreleased stuff donated for the Frother's salute game 2011, many many thanks to Jo and Ben, very generous indeed.

-
just to add insult to injury, another ...smaller parcel of WEG has just arrived separately
:D
-
Two boxes of Perry Mercenaries (they seem to have thrown one box in for free - which is very nice of them) plus the three metal cavalry packs of 'scurrers' :)
So I know what I'm going to be doing over Christmas and New Year!
:D
-
But think what they're getting out of it: Some of the best and cheapest advertising for their product they could possibly hope for.
-
Plynkes is right. I suspect I'm not the only one who impulsively bought a box after seeing your post here.
-
Foundry & Ebob cowboys. Nice.
-
Brigade Games cowboys and the most of the initial release from LAM - excellent figures :-*
-
Plynkes is right. I suspect I'm not the only one who impulsively bought a box after seeing your post here.
Well, that's nice of you to say so, but I'm not so sure.
The Perrys have never shown the slightest interest in my painted versions of their products at all, and even if they did, they're very unlikely to have connected my actual name and address with the online persona 'Captain Blood'... I certainly gave them no reason to do so... ::) :D
More likely, I think, that they've had my pre-order for months, and the extra box was a thanks / sorry for keeping me waiting? Either that, or they just made a cock-up and packed two instead of one!
Either way - I'm happy! :)
-
I would normally ask why you do not return or offer to pay for the additional goods? Cock up or thank you gesture as it stands it is just theft :o
I say normally because on the two previous occasions this has happened to me, I have gone to the trouble of contacting the vendor, returning their goods at my own cost and almost got a thank you in return >:(
-
Lead Adventure post-apocalyptic goodness:
PA-01 Tunnel Cutthroats
PA-02 Zone's Dogs
PA-04 Street Judges
PA-07 Igor and the Red Gang
PA-08 Red Vultures
Absolutely brilliant miniatures, cleanly cast and delivered with exceptional service.
Well chuffed. :D

A win-win-win situation. Richard gets free toys, Perrys free advertisement and we get to see Richard paint them. Wooo!

Nice,
Have my own Ion Cannon planned though, much more in scale to the film shots.
Cheers for the minis mate, arrived this week.
-
Yeah, but I figured for a tabletop model, the micro collection ion cannon would be fine. Along with the generator and the various micro colelction turrets, I should be able to put together a nice little battlefield.
-
Absolutely mate, sure it'll work well.
-
Have to agree, i might cut the lower lip off of mine, bring them down a touch.
I might just build up the lip of the terrain around them, in the same way i'm doing with the building templates for teh Battlefiled boards.
For £3 a go though, they are good value - the Micro Collection ones that Seb has, are probably more in scale, but work out c£15-20 a go, by the time you factor in postage from the States.

I also got a box of the new GW Hellions as a late Christmas 'pheasant' - love these but not interested in the 40K game but will enjoy building one or two up. Also not purchased by myself so not added (well OK - I'll put a foot note in)

-
- Tin's bits fire wizard;
- Gamezone imperial wizard;
- TinMan not John Carter of Mars figures. The human-sized ones seem a perfect match for the Bronze Age figures. The green martian is much smaller than the Bronze Age ones, but could possibly be seen as a teenage version of them as they are not that far off stylistically;
- Foundry ECW cart;
- Foundry goblin totem and stonethrower;
- some 40mm plastic captain harlock mazones off ebay
-
11 Mageknight steam horses and a steam ram :D

Some figures from Red Box Games that I bought on sale from CMON;

Lord chici-thingy, the ablinach show figure, a pack of 4A's snow troopers and some bolt action artillery.

OOP Metal Magic Asterix vikings from Musketeer miniatures' Bill T.
The box of plastic Studio Miniatures WW2 german zombies pre-ordered somewhere in october. Nice figures, though the look like they'll fit better with the slender AE-WW2 figures than the usual bulkier 28mms.
-
Extra twenty in there for the trouble/delay?
Be interesting to see then with SoTR stuff Seb, and if you've got five you're not doing anything with...;) (swop you for some mantics bits?).

From Brigade, some time in the past week (I've been out of town...):
16 WW1/NWF British riflemen
8 British Lewis Gunners (4 Lewis, four ammunition bearers)
8 Russians in fur hats
3 Fez-wearning henchgoons with Tommyguns
Excellent figures, nice to have some more Brits in scale with my existing figures (vice the Copplestone Brits, which are nice but wildly huge...) and the henchgoons and Russians will come in handy.
Why yes, I am drifting out of simple pulp into NWF/BoB...
-
First of the new 28mm Eureka African guerillas. Nine different poses, mostly AK armed with an RPG-2 gunner and two poses for an RPD gunner, kneeling and advancing. Mix of kit, footwear and headgear. Lovely figures as always. My only wish is that Kosta had included a few SKS armed versions. h well maybe he will remedy that.
Also picked up the new Afghan 82mm mortar. This is a really nice model, comes with two crew and a seperate box of mortar rounds. The mortar itself is worth its weight in gold, lots of application beyond just the mujahadeen.
-
82mm mortar?
is it out yet, couldnt find it on the site..
would be nice to add to my MM ones
-
Sshhh! Haven't been officially released yet, although I think they were available for sale at Cancan/ Cancon.

Picked up some of the old Alien miniatures at the Albanich show yesterday.A real bargain at £5.00.The only miniatures I bought at the show.

Probably right Matt ;).
They were just sitting in a plastic bag hid in with some old 40k stuff.They look like they are missing the back tubes.There is one that is attatched to a wall.
These have been the first miniatures which I have bought in awhile :'(.

Did you pay Mr. Murch extra for the extra 'taches? I thought the offer was one per pack?
...and last but not the least Bob included 10 MP-18s with snail drums as a freebee.
Loose guns? With hands or just guns? Is he going into loose weapon production? Inquiring minds want to know!

Not really mini - more like big beasties. Picked these up at my local show (Crusade, Penarth) on Saturday:
http://www.magistermilitum.com/product.asp?numRecordPosition=2&P_ID=10464&strPageHistory=cat&strKeywords=&SearchFor=&PT_ID=1562

There was also a T-Rex which can't see on the site. Great casts, really clean.
So along with Minimi new Steam Trawler (which is mentioned below) I feel a lost Pacific island game coming up this year!

Just thought I'd mention that I just received the new US Sailors from Tiger today. I ordered them the moment I saw them on TMP.
They are very tall being about 29 to 30 mm to the eye, but are a good match for the Blue Moon Sailors I bought a few weeks ago although dressed a little different.
They tower over my Pulp US Rocketmen but as I will be basing them on the thinnest washer I can find it should not be an issue.
I also bought a prospector pulling a mine cart and some tools. They threw in another miner panning for Gold who I don't see on the site. These are also about 29 to 30 mm to the eye.
-
Knight Models HULK.
Amazing model.
-
Going to list a few 'bits' as well as minis here...
I finally managed (2 weeks after the company goes down the toilet) to get some Wargames Factory Brits. I know, I know; but I'm a muppet of a modeller anyway, I'd rather get cheap figuers and make them look crap than expensive figures made out metal and make them look crap, with big saw-marks on them. They will obviously be for my VSF forces.
Also snagged some parts for Evil Empire space orks, some decent useful pieces including some old weaponry.
And last (actually first, they arrived about 10 days ago) various bits of brains in jars, homunculii, strange glowy stuff and such like on very nice textured bases that will be great additions to any mad scientist's lab, from our very own Commander Vyper, lovely chap that he is. Can't remember who makes them, but only a couple of weeks ago I was perusing a thread about them and thinking, hmm, I bet I could find a use for them... and then there they were. Smashing.
-
A box of Perry Miniatures ACW Cavalry and one of ACW Infantry, as well as a box of Bolt Action italian paracudisti... thus endeth the vow f not buying models in 2011 till Lead Mountain got one third reduced.
Oh well, keeping it up for half a month ain`t to bad either then...
-
Two boxes of Horrorclix Aliens at a quite reasonable price. Woohoo! It's still possible to get some without the highway robbery. Just need some patience, perseverance, and a little (lots of) luck.

Some Pendraken Aliens and Predator aliens.
Very impressed, so I will probably get some 'bugs' too. :)
-
Just got a wee package from Hasslefree.
Couple of older models that I'd been meaning to get for a while, Cobra and Kitty.
And a couple of the newest, Tomoko and Hamlet.
The quality as always is absolutely stunning...and the wee roll of sweeties topped it all off wonderfully.
:)
-
3 brand new Bronze Age Miniatures gladiators! Very nice, and, as a pleasant surprise, right to scale w/ my Foundry lot as well!
OOP Citadel LOTR Beorn as Man and Bear too. My childhood, re-visited!
-
5 Specialist Dungers for Dunger Derby! :)
I'll try and get them painted by the weekend! ;D
-
17 Daleks. Like most of the LAFers in the UK I think.
And in the post this morning, four, yes FOUR*, Wargames Factory Glengarry heads from the lovely and fragrant Mors, what a spiffing chap he is.
*I was only after two but he's so nice he gave me 100% extra free*!
*on top of the two free ones he gave me in the first place!
:o and :D I'm a very happy orc today.
-
Pleasure old boy, not sure about fragrant , more like vagrant . You really don't want to know how many idaleks I bought ;)
-

-

A little sample of 1st corps minis to see if they work with WEG, (first looks, a little big).

-
and now in the correct topic ::)...
Owner of the Celtic Cross, a local store that closed last october due to one of the guys relocating to the UK (marrying as well, but that`s a detail ;D) was liquidating some final stocks at about a quarter of what they costed...
So now Lead Mountain has been swelled with a lot of Warlord stuffsies, namely
* 1 box of Parliament Infantry
* 1 box of Parliament Horse
* 1 blister Clubmen
* 1 blister Petard Assault Team
* 1 blister Baudica Triumphant
* 1 blister Celtic Civilians (guess what they are going to be for :D)
* 1 blister Celtic Druids
* 1 blister Celtic Slingers
* 1 blister Celtic Javelins
* 1 blister Celtic Female Warriors
And then the post rolled in with the biggest suprise of them all, my Black Tree Order came through `only` 11 months or so after ordering, so a good 50 Saracen models to the pile as well. Pity the Armies of Arcana hype at TSA died down about 8 months ago as they where intended for use there :?
-
My haul at Vapnartak today included a Golgo Island Robot Sheriff, a bunch of Musketeer Minis Saxons to jump on the Arthurian Bandwagon, and finally a handful of modern jet fighters (US and USSR) and a Battle of Britain set from Tumbling Dice.

Also got the haul from Vapa, consisting of:
Perry plastic Mercenaries and a lovely big bombard and Margaret of Anjou

Couple of random Foundry/Copplestone figs from the guy selling off bits of Ainsty's collection
Two armed Victorian ladies and a heavily armoured female Elf from Dave T's Foundry sale
A creature from the Black Lagoon from Four A Miniatures
Practically nothing compared to my usual annual lead-frenzy, but still feel kind of bad because I have no idea when I'll get chance to paint them and the guilt has started already.
Stuff it.
I've got a bombard. :D
-
1 pack of 5 figures from York...I was a good boy ::)

So did you get your paint & book?
Just got 7 of the old Citadel Orc villagers: the pair of drunks, the female waving a rolling pin, the running guy, the dumbo with club, the one drinking from (or trying to eat, it's hard to tell) a bottle, & the one running with its hand in the air. They're cute as all bejeebers; I look forward to painting them.

Hehehehe, yeah, I managed to squize that in the order lol
-
Four, which appears to be, 16th century men at arms from LAF-member Galland whom I had the pleasure to meet at a wargaming flea market at Dragons Lair, Stockholm. :) The miniatures are very similar to the Swedish peasant militia who fought the Landsknechts in Elfsborg 1502.
-
Fenris Games mutant chappie that I picked up from Ian over the weekend when I was over in the South East, (along with a load of bases and scenery and a good old rummage through the miscast bag, giving me a further 8 jersey barrier ruins/damaged sections perfect for battletorn fields of war! ;)).

The Mirliton diorama of the Medieval wedding party. Lots of dancers, a bride on a horse, a small band, the groom's family... Something like 30 figures to cope with. And to round out the order, the medieval woman hawking (apparently she comes with two versions of the hawk), a farmer with a sack over his shoulder, a medieval country woman, a medieval lady on a horse and baskets for a mule (but not the mule, it was an experiment).
Michael got a GW ogre and a dwarf in today's post.
-
Four Blood Bowl dwarves. A gift from Bezzo. Yet another example of the LAF-members great generosity! :)

Yet more new Eureka 28mm African guerillas. Eight new poses, this time all in boots, and with AK-47s with a mix of bare heads, berets and caps. Woohoo, I now have pretty much all of the opposition needed for my Portuguese!

A platoon of Blacktree US Paras turned up today bought for 37% off in the recent sale. I'm quite pleased with the quick delivery as I've heard so many horror stories about delivery times recently. I've never had a problem with them. :)

My entire haul from the Cold Wars convention was one measly box of Victrix Napoleonic French to use in my Wars of the Revolution project. It's not my fault though, Eureka didn't get all of the figures in for the order I had places. I'll try to do better next time!
-
I just received my Musketeer Miniatures Pirates. Nice figures. Now to get them painted...
-
At Cold Wars - Some Brigade Games Russian Civil War figures - very nice - and 4 brigades of AB 15mm British & Portuguese and the rulebook for Age of Eagles.
From Frothers - their collection of figures from the 2010 sculpting competition - not sure what to do with them but they looked unique.

http://displacedminiatures.com/LeadAsbestos/gallery/68/
Hurt me deeply to do it, but needed the cash in a desperate time! Paid a couple of months mortgage, AND paid for my Gripping Beast Romano-British army, which still is the finest part of my collection. Not a bad deal, but those Ogres... :-* :-*

The bushwoolies from Thunderbolt Mountain, as well as the Wood elf Lord and Lady, a third giant wolf and two of the babies in the manger from their nativity scene. Apparently they had changed the stock number on their wood elf noble lady in traveling clothes. I looked at my records by stock number & didn't see her, so I ordered another. That makes three of her now!
-
Bushwackers and Bounty Hunter from Brigade Games. Beautiful details and a lot of character. Lovely sculpts!
-
I like the look of the Nativity set and the future releases for it, sounds interesting if pricey.

Quite a haul for the Trumpeter Salute convention. I've been working 1.5 jobs and 6-7 day weeks for a couple of months. so I promised myself that the recent paycheque from the half-job would ALL be mad money/convention funding...
So, a good selection of packs from Bob Murch of Pulp Figures; details of which I shall not disclose because they're likely to appear in upcoming LPL5 rounds!
One of Uncle Mike's new Strange Aeons packs, a pair of big 28mm Sasquatch/Yeti/giant ape-men/Missing Links, because big hairy ape-men can appear all sorts of places!
Two packs of Warlord Games 28mm ECW plastics, enough for a small but complete starting force in that era. Great looking figures, can't wait to get some of them assembled and on the painting table!
Oh, and a copy of Uncle Mike's Strange Aeons rulebook, won from the door prize draw! (also one a copy of Columbia Game's Victory WW2 blockgame, so no complaints again about never winning anything at TS!)

Bought an Allies and Axis horde from the Foundry Easter sale, mainly thinking about getting up a fraction or two for AVBCW.
Lots of relevant British from the "Dads Army" line-up with Lewis guns, Tommy guns, Boys AT rifle det al.
The Germans was a rather eclectic mix of fallschirmjaegers, luftwaffe and something I think is feldgendarmeri. Lots of MG-34s, a flammenwerfer and a tiny mortar. Think they was packed more or less for the occasion, as the blisters contained a mix of brits and germans, and also different parts for combined figures in a several blisters.
Needs sorting the different series to get a total overview but all in all, I`m rather pleased. Need to find out what I can possibly use the Germans for, though :)
-

-
A Tom Meier large red dragon from eBay halfway down on the left (http://www.solegends.com/citcat88/0806dragons.jpg). Only problem is I didn't notice (oops!) that it was missing its head - anyone have a spare one?

HeroQuest Return of the Witch Lord offa Ebay.

WK, thanks for the info.

From Eureka USA, Eureka's Everyone! Keep it down, Voltaire is thinking civilians and musicians deal. '24' figures (one's a two figure moulding) and a ton of accessories for $68 US plus only $7 postage. With the $CDN on a high, it even worked out slighly cheaper. Bought individually, it would have cost over $90.
Nice figures if slightly charicaturish in some cases. A couple remind me of some of Disney's Alice in Wonderland characters. I particularly like the portly (to say the least!) vicar with the gout and the Frederick the Great and Voltaire figures are really nice. The only 'problem' I see (other than painting them!) is that all the chairs have a distinct 'drift' to the right. It may not matter if I use them in a vignette but I'll see if I can adjust them with judicious use of a pair of pliers. The metal appears to be reasonably malleable.
-
2 Chindit Vickers HMG Team and a box of British Commandos was waiting for me when I came home today, all from Warlord.

Picked up one of the Micro Art Studio's Great Wolves.
Expensive piece but really nice quality, what attracted me the most was that one of the two head options came with a closed mouth with very little of the teeth showing.

2 boxes of Groping Beast plastic Saxons and a box of vikings for a new project

No pics? ;)
No in keeping with the subject matter, no pics. Pointless anyway I'd have to black out their identities and I'm still working out how to paint a pixelated black splodge over each face. :)
Actually the nice man who sold them to me specifically requested that I don't post pics as they are to be officially launched , with great fanfare, at a forthcoming US wargames convention. Easy to honour as I'm crap with a camera. Suffice it to say I doubt you will be disappointed with the minis, you'll just need to have a little patience.

Dan, weren't you worry about doing such a (relatively) big order with them? Did you send them an e-mail beforehand asking if they had the figures in stock?

£153.43 worth of Blacktree Romans. Ordered on the 1st of June.
Which year?
;)
-
A massive pile of Eureka's new French horse artillery, guns, limbers, and caissons. Also a much smaller pile of Woodbine WW1 Brits to sample and an old GW Mighty Fortress (the foam version). Mostly Historicon loot by proxy except for the Mighty Fortress which was a gift from a friend. It is now under seige from young Rocco's Playmobil pirates and their spring-loaded cannons!
-
Dan, weren't you worry about doing such a (relatively) big order with them? Did you send them an e-mail beforehand asking if they had the figures in stock?
I did not email them as the sale was due to end and due to time differences the order actually changed from 20% off and free shipping to about 35% off while I was filling it out at 11pm local NZ time.
I was a bit concerned as I'd heard all the problems that people have had with them. I had a decent sized Dr Who order come through in about three weeks and just before that a Platoon of US Paras which also came through very quickly this year.
I have large amounts of Blacktree WW2 Germans , Americans and Partizans plus a DBMM Celt army currently being painted and have never had a problem with any order that I have placed.
@Akula this year ;)
Maybe I've just been very lucky? I will have to order more Celts and Romans once my Rule books arrive as I don't really know if I have enough figures yet.

In these austere times for me pig iron heads and 20 plastic junkers for conversions and skirmish games

Will post pictures later but want to get a good start with these, as I have failed to complete too many projects.

Variable. I only ordered the MP5 police pack, as some of the others looked less useful.
Also arrived today, a few bits and bobs from Hasslefree, including some gun sprues, and another Professor Beattie, some hurns from Heresy, and some resin scenery from Jed.

-
A 'web-only' offer on 40 of the excellent Foundry Victoriana range civilians at 20% off but was able to pick them up in Nottingham today. Great figures, they will be used to reboot the 'Victorian Undead' project.
Thanks, Akula, for buying the coppers - would be interested to understand what you mean by 'variable' - casts or sculpts? North Star did have a few problems when they first started casting them for me. Just found a whole load of stock in a drawer from when we had the ebay shop, might rent a table at a show?
-
some scibor and maxmini bits (PA guns, PA big guns, skulls, backpacks, AK 47s, SF basing set and mech hammers & shields) were delivered last friday and Heresy's Hurn II, sniper rifle & shotguns arrived today.
-
Thanks, Akula, for buying the coppers - would be interested to understand what you mean by 'variable' - casts or sculpts?
Sculpts. The MP5 team are good, and i'd recommend them (bought a couple of sets) - with some of the others, IMHO, the arms look a bit too bendy, as if the sculptor has struggled to get the arm posed around the HF weapons.
-
As I slowly succumb to FOW: (it's the most played at my local(ish) game store)
A platoon box of 5 Panzer IV-H's from Battlefront. I must be ill though just realized it's been 5 days and I haven't even cracked the cellophane off.
-
Just picked up two boxes of the new Perry Mahdist figures from Northstar, lovely plastics with a little booklet from Lt. Col. Snook inside, complete with flags and pictures for colour schemes, all from Northstar who have 8 more CASES arriving tomorrow but they are disappearing straight out the door as fast as they come in...Also, some more Shangani Patrol stuff from Nick cos I wrote that article a while ago, plus lovely FFL command and...I better stop going there, I always end up with more for the pile!
-
Received today, six blisters of Pulp Figures;
Evil Hooded Minions 1
Evil Hooded Minions 2
Evil Hooded Minions 3
Gasmask Cultist Troop 1 (x2)
Gasmask Cultist Troop 2
Can you guess what painted figures I will put on sale in the Bazaar soon? ;)
-
Comic book store was selling off the last of their monsterpocalypse, I always have been interested in that game but the price never was right. Anyhow they were selling it at 60% or so of so I decided that a starter pack, a monster and a unit booster plus two accessory packs for the price normally paid only for the starter pack would be a fine deal to get in to this thing!
Oh and added bonus, the monsters turned out to be terra khan (the not godzilla) and Cyber Khan (guess what he is inspired by) which makes for a classing match up, so I did not get burned by random miniatures this time.
-
Some more gashapon Gundams, this time the `set 2` of the Digital Grade Unicorn series including both versions of the Unicorn :-*
-
Latest mini received is actually my FIRST minis received. That's right, these are my first lead miniatures. I'm not an experienced painter. I've painted a handful of figures...
Space Hulk:
(http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad98/Eh_Train/SpaceHulk/DSCF1779.jpg)
Last Night on Earth:
(http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad98/Eh_Train/DSCF2201.jpg)
and Battles of Westeros:
(http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad98/Eh_Train/BoW/Picture015.jpg)
But my new game interest is All Things Zombie, of which I have no terrain and no miniatures to game with. I've started pulling a few things together for Terrain from World Works Games and with Foundry's sale last week, I picked up a good little lead mole hill of figures to use with it. Behold, my lead pile in its glorious entirety:
(http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad98/Eh_Train/ATZ%20Prep/Picture016.jpg)
If you're familiar with the units you'll spot: Miss Trude's Girls, The Young Plugs, Street Thugs, The Professionals, Swat Team Alpha, Swat Team Shadow and Juno's Crew (with an extra Ace). Also a couple of wolves that will be painted up as German Sheppards.
I gotta clean up the models still, need to pick up a file. Any recommendations on that (and other tools?).
I'm thinking about trying to remove the units from the integral bases. Does anyone else do that or is it generally too difficult?
I'm also thinking of converting another unit, but already started another thread on that here.

topic=30901.0[/url]
Don't bother messing with the integral bases, just stick the figures to another base (pennies work great, and you can't beat the price) then use a bit of putty to blend the integral base into the "real" base.
For needle files and other tools, any halfway-decent model train, hobby or game store should be able to set you up. X-Acto knife, spare blades and a couple of needle files will set you up nicely for cleaning flash and mold lines off figures.
-

I've got a set of professional diamond files. Way better than most needle files you can buy. Problem is availability. Got mine via a mold maintenance guy.
I'm thinking about trying to remove the units from the integral bases. Does anyone else do that or is it generally too difficult?
I do cut them off if they're the slotta-base type and use drill and pin to mount them on bases. If they're of the stand-alone type, I'd go with Wirelizard's suggestion although I use mudguard washers (ferro-metal, so you can always store them on magnetic strips if you want)

Mutton Chop's Sleuths - great set of Holmes & Watson minis!

I might start a co-operative thread as there are so many options for RH out there. I'm going to use the Lord of the Rings rules.
-
Actually a nice subject. Many skirmish rulesets are useable for something like this.
I would prefer going the 'historical' route myself (Normans/Crusaders style), rather than 100YW, but there are so many visual interpretations out there (lately that 'wear a leather coat or a pulllover and you're fine' installment with the 'coloured' (is that the right expression?) brother Tuck...costumes are worse than at many LARPs I've seen :-[ ).
-
A nice bunch of old citadel dark elves from a nice LAF forum member,love them all. :D

I wanted to stay away from Kite shields and body Armour so selected the figures which would look ok visually. I might have to do some greenstuffing to the Helmets to get the nose bar looking right. I wanted the padded jerkin over chainmail with heater shield look.
I'm really stuck for a Guy of Gisborne figure.

Ok today at the colours I bought 4 packs of mounted native horse, 2 packs of dismounted (fantastic sets), a naval Gatling gun (beautiful :-*) and before I left a few more boers.
Can't wait to paint them up :)

Some Blood Dawn Orcs and Dwarves from Magister Militum. Usual great service. The figures are wonderfully detailed and look quite dynamic. Very pleased.
[Does anyone know where I can get other heroic scale 15mm fantasy from in the UK? I know of the Elves from Eureka and Copplestone's new Barbarians. I'm particularly interested in getting some heroic scale 15mm human adventurers and magic users. Please PM me if you have suggestions.]

From Northstar:
Shangani Patrol Last Stand - fantastic miniatures.
Thanks Nick for great miniatures.

LAM last heroes, the professor and Matakishi. :)
Wonderful miniatures full of character and detail. I love them! :-*
-
The new Eureka George Formby figure, leaning on a lamp post, complete with banjo. Couldn't resist for some odd reason.
-
Where'd you find old George? Something brand new from them or hidden in the depths of their incomprehensible listings?
I've still got a couple of George's record albums buried in the collection somewhere and I recently downloaded several YouTube clips featuring some of his more well known songs.
-
Brand new, I don't think it is listed yet. You can bet that the Chronofus site will have scans before too long. I've no actual use for the figure but I may use it as an objective marker or just randomly as a sort of running 'Where's George?' joke en passant.
-
A small order from Redoubt, including sone generals (Burnside, Grant, Chamberlain), the Irish Brigade command pack, and a dozen paper banners from `Body`s Banners` on their site.
-
Four pack of Renegade ancient Gauls, that were collecting dust at a local game shop. Also a couple of boxes of Perry Plastics, Madist Ansars & ACW Zouwaves.

Received last Friday;
(http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll206/Calimero_34/Photo2545.jpg)
20 Mexican Infantry
20 Foundry Chindits
4 Grenadiers Mounted Barbarian “chief”
21 Grenadiers Mounted Barbarian “trooper”
1 Grenadiers Barbarian War Chariot
20 Copplestone BoB Chinese
1 Copplestone BoB Chinese Field Gun and 4 crews
Some are to paint for a commission, others are for ME! :D
-
From Copplestone, the last (at least for now!) round of RCW Bolshie infantry: one pack of Red Partisans, one of Bolshevik infantry, one of Bolshevik officers. Once they're painted that'll give me about 50 infantry, 7 or 8 officers and a Maxim MG, more that enough Reds for a Mud & Blood game. Time to start building up White forces!
-
I got a pack of Russian Mafia from The Assault Group. The sculpts are really nice, but look much smaller when compared to Foundry's oversized 28mm, which was a little disappointing.

Aye but some of those Fundry figures are big brutes so I wouldnt worry too much. Its hard to find good matches to their Fourndy heavy weapon=heavy guy style of sculpting. A shame as I have a lot of the swat and just ended up mixing them in
-
This evening I picked up a pair of Panzer IV-H for a command section for FoW.
-
LAM Ruin Raiders,the Professor and the Last hero set. Ruin Raiders are Nice chunky solid figures with lots of detail. I original was only interested in one out of the five figure but once I see them they are all cool, still the guy with the shotgun is my favorite. The Professor is just an all around nice figure that I had been meaning to get for a while. The last heroes pack is just a great idea and has some favorite PA figures in it. A tad smaller than the Ruin raider but great characters and detail.
-
Mongoose Miniatures Justice Department....
Lovely sculpts...ahhh proper takes me back...
-
More than 70 Chinese Boxer rebellion from an Ebay seller, really good deal as some were painted.

Just received an unpainted Lord Of Change from the 80's that I bought off e-Bay for £4.50 including postage. Bargain. :D
I'd cleaned and assembled it within an hour of it arriving. Looking forward to getting it painted.
-
Got the D&d Chainmail starter set which is missing two miniatures.A real shame too.Not much I can do about it as the box was still wrapped.Also got three single packs to go with the starter.Might even try to get a game sorted.

Hey MM, what ones are you looking for? :-)

-
Are those the metal ones? I think I have one in the leadpile that looks like some sort of chaos-elf-beastman warrior. Might have some drow and elves too, if I haven't gotten rid of them yet, but would have to look.
-
Just recieved the starter set again as the first one had a couple of missing miniatures.Also got the Ahmuts legion box set.
Needing quite a few as I am only just starting to get into this.Years after if went kaput.Normally the case with me and miniatures lines.Got quite a few of the Cell Entertainment 1999 miniatures which were really cool for the time too.
@ White Knight they are the metal ones.They come with stat cards too.Paul Muller looks like he sculpted most of the elf line.Ben Siens did most of the Gnoll faction.Some really nice sculpts in the range.
-
80 painted zombies, courtesy of Redzed...... Normally paint my own, but these were impossible to resist.
The horde is now getting to epidemic proportions!

They will make a great addition to your collection Matt.

Very impressive hunk of plastic! Beautiful mouldings and amazing details. Only problem is, I'll probably need a second kit so I can do both models!
-
Five more packs of Chainmail miniatures 2 packs of Wood Elf Rangers,2 packs of Abyssall Skulker and one pack of Crested Felldrakes.
Starting toi get a nice little collection.
White Knight has also found a few pieces for me.Cheers Bud.

Dreadfleet from GW and some Crusader french for the SYW

The old-school Chaos love-in continues with a disturbingly cheap Minotaur Lord from Miniature Heroes (thanks Tim!) and a consignment of Centaurs from our very own DeafNala (six days from Texas to the UK - that's damn efficient!).
Also have a Skaven wizard, Troll Degenerate and a couple of Harpies in the post, hopefully to be here soon.
Whatever can he be planning...? ???

Some 3rd Crusade figures from Black Tree ordered on the 28th and arrived today. (Uk to NZ) Much better than their photos suggest.

It looked good from a distance but unfortunately it is cast in soft plastic rather than styrene.And shoddily so. The grand piano, double bass and cellos I could have scratch built better myself. So look at this post more as a word of warning rather than bragging.
-
Another ten packs of Chainmail miniatures along with two loose ones.
Also a big box of castings for the new releases from Four A miniatures.
-
A very nice pile of Otherworld minis for my new Greek Myth project. I've had Bronze Age Minis Greeks sitting around for years, with no real reason to paint 'em!
Now Medusa, a Minotaur, some Centaurs, and of course, Skeletons! Nice minis, and pleasantly surprised to see they are on the larger side. Soooo tired of buying minis only to see that they are too tiny to use. (I'm talking to you, Tre at Red box! ;))
-
Street Fight
Werewolf pack and Vampire pack. An old range but the figures compare favourably with todays minis really chuffed with them :-*

Eureka's brand new modern USMC. Picked up a platoon's worth. Lovely figures, as ever. This should get all our FoF friends excited.
-
Yes, I've been looking at those, love the Sniper rifle figure. Waiting on some TAG USMC before I plunge any deeper into that minefield.

These aren't the Force Recon figures BTW, these are brand new marine riflemen. Better than anything TAG is ever likely to produce.

30 very old Dixon Chinese from evilbay for £3.50 - impulse purchase of some very dated looking minis.
If anybody has an early catalogue with codes DM45-47 I would be interested to see what they were actually listed as.
-
From Foundry a couple of packets of Medieval peasents, bowmen, Deer Hunt and Stone thrower. Some of the Figures have really bulky arms and will need filling down and others look really good so am not sure whats going on there :?
I also received a Packet of English Swashbucklers which are my favorite range plus some Victorian Tarts which should fit in a few eras.
Not sure I will be getting much more from them as I think they should lower their prices to suit the lower sculpting standards.
-
Busy week of new things for me, ten of the Mantic Wraiths, the plastic-resin type. I was a bit worried about the material but it's nice, stronger than thin resin casts but slightly softer in detail than metal or plastic.

For unknown reasons, I spent a moment doing detective work concerning this Blue Ice / Dark Sphere stuff.
Looks like the halflings were either sculpted or at least produced by Louis Simpson, also known as Rainbowdodge on eBay. He had a web shop called Wargames Dungeon, and he used that as a nickname on Da Warpath forums in 2004. The halfling masters were finished in February 2004, painted and ready for selling through his store. Then he had some trouble (http://z3.invisionfree.com/Orc__Goblin_Warpath/index.php?showtopic=100&view=findpost&p=181455), whereafter both the eBay and WargamesDungeon activities ceased. The domain was caught by a squatter in 2005 or so, and expired entirely in 2006.
Busy fellow, if he really managed to do that all already before reaching his twenties.
I don't know why the "Blue Ice Miniatures" name was scrapped. Maxxev bought a lot of that stuff and uses a name "Blue Ice Games" instead.
Apparently Louis launched Dark Sphere Games in 2005. It didn't last long either.
Sylvain Quirion sculpted a treeman for Dark Sphere. It's now available on Impact Miniatures.
A few Dark Sphere minis are available on Tritex Games with a description "from a new and innovative range introduced by David Gaskin".
Some traces of this all can be found here (http://www.stunties.com/wiki/index.php/Manufacturers)
And still I have no idea, who currently owns those halflings.
Just came across this thread on a random Google search.
I own the rights to those halflings, and they are by far the best of the sculpts in the range.
However I have no money whatsoever to produce them and the caster that had all my molds, had a heart attack and threw everything away after trying to get into contact with me (apparently, even though he definitely had my email address which I haven't changed in 15 years).
All in all I spent a LOT of money on blue ice and have never got anywhere near recouping it something like 10 years later.
If I Louis had actually shown me pictures of the entire range, instead of just sending a few photos of the best figures, I would never had parted with the amount of money he was asking for.
Frankly purchasing Blue Ice was the worst mistake of my life, it was meant to be a step in the direction of working for myself in a field that I loved, instead the financial investment I put into Blue ice could have bought me, probably about 30 nice sculpts from Kev White or someone similar which would have been a far better business model.

BTD Doctors, all 8, plus the Cushing movie version. And, on the way, Sarah Jane (cos I miss Sladen), a Yeti, and the Fu Manchu-like Liu, Hu Seng and the Celestial Toymaker, plus that evil little Chinese doll thing which I still have bloody nightmares about! Might get the Fourth Doctor in faux Holmes gear, just to round it all out, Talons of Weng-Chung, anyone?

The next 3 packs of Copplestone 15mm barbarians... :-* :-* :-*
I continue to be blown away by the sculpting. Just gorgeous! Could have saved a bundle doing my Conan project this way, and skipping the 28s. Oh well, the Citadel Norse may just be taking the trip to eBay!

Plus Hitler, a Yeti, Len Chang, Sarah Jane Smith and the first eight Doctors from BTD, which cost money
-
Also got a parcel of the Doctors I was missing from BTD, nice and quick. Small battle squad of Sontarans seems to have followed them home too.
The other day I also managed to complete my set of old Citadel harpies, the ones sculpted by Bob Olley in the late 80s. Ronnie, Nancy and Maggie fly together again! :)

Two starterboxes of tau for only 60 euros, needs a lot of patching up but a sweet deal nonetheless

Picked up a lot of Perry Samurai today at the Fiasco show.My collection is growing.Now just to find a good rule set for them.
-
A whole horde of White Russians, 28mm from Brigade Games.
The exact figure count of the order is fifty-some figures, a few mounted figures, a batch of officer/NCOs/standardbearers on foot, a Maxim HMG, and a whole horde of riflemen. More than enough for a Mud & Blood force, and likely enough to try out a batch of other rules as well should I be so inclined.
We're spoilt for choice in 28mm Russian Civil War/Back of Beyond figures, really, both Copplestone and Brigade have ranges with lots of variety and quality sculpting.
-
The new Four A miniaures Piker sea demons, and a few more for the warband...lovely models :-*

Another missed opportunity from Warlord. They really should have done Charlie dressed as Flora McDonald. Ooh, I've just had a brilliant marketing idea. A boxed set Jacobite army that comes in a shortbread tin!

Will it include shortbread? Or will the minis be made of shortbread, and you can eat the casualties?

A head start on my Klingon fleet, a few squadrons of small Frigates from Studio Bergstrom.
-
Gripping Beast SAGA SV03 Beserkers.
Very disappointed. Excessive amounts of flash, blobby heads with almost no detail visible, one has a fur cape which is almost smooth. Would not have recognized these as GB figures compared to those I have from five or so years ago. Several separate weapons but all the hands are solid lumps.
...
Finally scraped away the flash, now getting stuck in with the dentist needle-point tool to try and enhance the faces and such... will then drill out the hands.
-
Recieved some AE bounty miniatures from a trade.They are really hard to get to see pictures of the AE Bounty range.Nice figures which will look great painted up.

Nothing wrong with the casting. Just too small and the poses are too angular to fit in with my other FFL(mostly Artizan with a few Great war). I will test paint 1 to compare before they go on the bring & buy pile.

wow, what a bargain!

let's hope so ;)
its from a local shop in Lisbon, I had to ask them to get the miniatures from a couple of boxes in their basement! When I have more time I'll have to take a better look! I'll even try to get a mental note of what is left and inform you, but the variety is somewhat limited
I really love those old sculpts by Nick Lund and Mark Copplestone
Does anybody knows if Nick Lund still sculpts, or what he has done after Grenadier?

I recently took advantage of Black Tree Designs 35% off sale on ancients and got two packs of Greek civilains and a pack of spearmen. The civilians came from the US and the spearmen came a day later from the UK. I was very happy with the fast, efficient service. Give them a try again.

Cool minis Frigo97! :) Mirliton range it's really interesting. (if you want to upgrade your skill in taking pics I'm sure you can find some usefull thread in Workbench How-to section ;) "how I take my photograph" is strongly reccomended. And once you are there, take a look at "Priming - the Blood Way", a real gem for beginners).

Thank you very much Faber!
Your advices are as gold for me (I'm a beginner :)) ;)

Ironically, two days after I bought and started painting `the alternative` for the 10th Round of the LPL, a first parcel of redoubt with my Naval Landing party and rowboat has dropped in the mailbox.
Pity Monitor isn`t amongst it, or I would have gone for my first pickings after all

Another pack of Red Sailors.
Red Sailor Command, four great figures.
Bolshevik Cavalry I, this along with some packs I bought at the Trumpeter convention last month will give me a useful group of 10 cavalry to put on the table. I even have two standard bearer figures, so for now I'm going to paint all the figures without obvious insignia and just use the two different standard bearers to show which force they're fighting for today!
Also an Armstrong-Whitworth armoured car (lovely little model!) which I've already talked about in the Latest Vehicles thread.
-
My alternate choice models for the 10th round of this years LPL, Uncharted Seas ships, as my first pick still hasn`t been delivered lol

I seem to have more than enough to do skirmish games with lots of ronin and unarmoured samurai. I ahve managed to slap paint on 16 Ninja only so far ;D thought I would start with the easy bits first :D
On buildings, as funds are rather tight I fancy having a go at scratch building a few for a small village etc

Thought you would have had all you need of them already Mark...
You'd think, wouldn't you? Actually I've only got that first box I bought back in '84 or '85 or whenever it was. But I'm making an effort to turn 10 gobbos into a viable unit in Warhammer... got an idea to do an Orc and Goblin Army based on all the old Regiments of Renown... so I hope to be collecting quite a few more of the little buggers!

Not so much received as trickled back from the huge stash of toys I still have in my mam's garage- I dug out a few Space Crusade Chaos Marines. I think the sculpt stands up quite well even after all this time- certainly better than their loyalist opponents from the same box. Looking forward to getting some paint on them.

One Curtsey`s Miniatatures chinese chariot, to be used as the basis for a wolf pulled, bolt thrower carrying Hobgoblin War Wagon
-
A complete set of Newline/Mongrel's Congo Mercenaries by Mr Hicks. Superb sculpts!
One minor gripe - my Uzi wielding mercs had a duplicate figure rather than 4 different sculpts. Ah well.
-
A Mantic undead warhost thingy, the start of an army as I want to get gaming again and nknow I can bang skellies out in a reasonable amount of time.
Which helps with my dislike of playing with unpainted figures.
-
I received Tactical Miniatures Big City PD from Rattlehead Games (http://www.rattleheadgames.com/) (with very fast shipping, 7 days (5 business) to Canada. That is very good.
The figures are a pretty realistic 28mm so they look a bit small next to my mostly Foundry figures, but when they are not side by side, they look fine (which is good, since they are not for melee gaming.
(http://www.rattleheadgames.com/images/products/TACBPD001.jpg)
(Mine won't look this good, heh)

I got a SOTR United States Comanche light mech. It's actually spurred me into buying some Vallejo paints.

Got the first 12 Wreckage minis from Hyacinth Games yesterday, great stuff :-*
-
Some Wargames Factory 28mm WW2 Americans (plastic). I bought them as a source of helmets and weapons but I have to admit, these are really good, every bit as good as the photos. They are every bit as good as the plastics coming out from Victrix and the like. I'm impressed. Ok, it is irritating that they are wearing M1943 jackets and leggings but I reckon with some putty that can be rectified. I'd recommend them.
-
Some of the Prof's fabulous German Marines and the post apocalyptic sailors. These are truly amazing sculpts.

All 10 Future Skirmish Savages from http://www.forlornhopegames.co.uk/
Can't fault the service, it was excellent. Gary was forthright in his communication, I was told my parcel was posted on a Wednesday and I received it the following week; seven days from Ol' Blighty to the Colonies is the fastest turnaround I've ever experienced.
I really like the P&P included model as well. I won't talk about the quality of the models as I am sure that most of us own them already, but the casting is flawless and without flash. They even came undercoated, something I have never seen before, but it was right handy, allowing me to base them and dive right into the fun part.
The most common reason for me not to buy something online is the unexpectedly large postage that pops up at the checkout. Sometimes its more than my entire order, or it doubles the cost of the order. Its handy to have the cost and the postage rolled into one sum.
I'll definitely be back to finish off the rest of the FS line, funds permitting. Then there is always the Fantasy Skirmish line...
-
They even came undercoated, something I have never seen before, but it was right handy, allowing me to base them and dive right into the fun part.
Yep, bought those same figs from EM-4 at Salute and I also was pleasantly surprised they came undercoated.
Have to repair one though as his knife got broken in transport :(

10 Westwind Highland dwarves :D

After digging around through some old stuff my mate has just given me 2 classic Necromunda miniatures to paint up: Scaly with scatter cannon and Karloth Valois. Am so pleased.:D
Not sure what I'm gonna do with Karloth yet but the Scaly is gonna join my super mutant gang.

A bunch of Eureka napoleonic tyroleans from LAF member the commissar. :)

A Copplestone field gun for my RCW forces, to give whoever doesn't get my recently finished armoured car a chance to blow the thing up!
-
A handful of Mega City's finest through a swap with Orctrader. Top bloke to deal with. :)

Crooked Dice's TLS (not-Captain Scarlet) deal. All I've got to do is paint them this side of the game I'm running in September. Sounds OK, but I have been near my painting table for a month and more!

MORE Trojans! :o

Well, where to begin?
I suppose it all started with a brick (Martha Jones and a Space Marine for scale)...
(http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm219/redorc01/IMG_1723.jpg~original)
... sent by our very own and very lovely majorsmith. The idea was that I send him some stuff that I wasn't going to do anything with (hopefully he'll get around to posting a thread about what he gets soon) and he'd send me a box of goodies.
(http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm219/redorc01/IMG_1724.jpg~original)
Oooh, nice box, that'll be useful: wonder what's inside?
Well, I know what's inside because he's already told me (and very pleased I am at what he's sending: a Sherlock Holmes and 4 Victorian Police, from West Wind; 5 Ironclad Sanwar; and 6 - though I thought he'd said 5 and was happy to agree to that - VSF Prussians, also from Ironclad). We'd discussed various projects I was doing and what figs he might have to help. Sadly, the VBCW figs that he mentioned early on got dropped from the discussion, basically because he's offering me a cornucopia of VSFery.
Holmes and various Bobbies, apparently moved temporarily from London to the streets of Cork (see what I did there?):
(http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm219/redorc01/IMG_1725.jpg~original)
Sinister and alien Sanwar:
(http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm219/redorc01/IMG_1727.jpg~original)
Dashed sinister Prussians (lying down, not because they're tired after a long journey from Mars, but because they still need the flash trimmed from their bases):
(http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm219/redorc01/IMG_1726.jpg~original)
But, wait, what's this, nestling at the bottom of the box?
(http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm219/redorc01/IMG_1729.jpg~original)
The figs for my VBCW progect that I didn't think I was going to get! Don't know who the manufacturer is, maybe Artizan? Possibly some 1920s Irish Republicans? They're going to be a great addition to my 1930s Socialist Militia anyway, and can maybe, just maybe, be presed into service as rough and common types for VSFery too...
Cheers, majorsmith, you're a gent, a scholar, and, so I've heard, kind to animals and small children! Hope you enjoy your plastic Germans!

My friend who gave me the scaly and Karloth Valois has also dug out and given me 8 necromunda plague zombies, the warhammer quest witch hunter, a plastic warhammer quest "marigolds" minotaur and a Necromunda Goliath leader with grenade launcher and chainsword. Not a fan of using Goliaths as humans so I'm using them as mutants alongside Orks for my post apocalyptic projects.
Pleased. :D

Love those Perry rioters.

I was actually a bit underwhelmed by them. Nice concept, but the detail is quite soft on them and faces and hands aren't defined very well. This may be the fault of that crappy mouldmaker they insist on using of course.

Just was able to get to Historicon for the day on Saturday. The Flea Market sessions, in the terms of hauls, was one of my best in a very long time. Found a lot, at one table no less, of the GW line of minis i have been looking for. 3x versions of Valten. A few warrior priests. Some wizards and dwarven characters to say the very least. Was only 2 table into the con and spent about half my money on the one table. LOL But they were much cheaper then ever finding them on eBay. It was a good day for me, just not for my wallet. Too many people took a check. :-)

All four sets of Frank's near future troopers. They are every bit as lovely in the...er...tin, as the pics imply. Sculpting is as sharp and detailed as Hasslefree, IMO.
Thanks for the minis and the great communication Frank!

Over the reacent so long I've been getting lots of parts for the old GW beaky marines for a project, so many parts I don't know how many marines I can actually make now :D
Also one of the sellers sent me an old metal techmarine to apologise for the delay in sending some bits out, though to be fair I haden't noticed the delay, don't like these 4am starts o_o

Forum member Mason kindly sold me a couple of old Citadel figs. A dwarf with a crossbow and an old human fighter ("Falcon", top row, here: http://www.solegends.com/citfight/citf2DOW.htm).
The dwarf is a cool figure, but I have been after a Falcon since I saw that ad in WD when I was about fourteen. Such a sneering, arrogant bastard of a figure... Love it. :D

Eureka's brand new African market scene. Truly fantastic stuff from Alan Marsh. Big stand of rugs/blankets. Three seated vendors, one female and one on a base with blanket covered in trinkets, necklaces etc. Two boys playing football, another rolling a tyre. A father with a big sack on his head with child in tow who is looking off at the other boys playing. Four assorted women and another small child opening a jar. With the exception of the tyre rolling kid and the two boys with the football, these could all be used for the past two hundred years or so.
I suspect the Plynkes of the world are seriously going to swoon when they see this one.
-
Not showing on the sire, must be absolutely brand new?!

Nice one! I've built a Khador plastic warjack and it's a great kit. Not the material though, very very hard plastic and not so easy to work.

The Sorscha model was all good and went together fine. The Jacks were covered in mould lines and that thin flaky stuff that goes around the edges. Not as bad as some finecast stuff though.

Well, you probably did, but in the set I got there were 5 guys in neo-sov looking heavy armour among a bunch of other mini's.
I could also call them terminator marines even though they don't resemble GW's that much.

The "Super J" youth crime-fighter mini available on the Superheroes forum. I'm gonna paint him up for use as a zombie survivor. ("Save the kid, save the world")
(Under the Zombie rules I'm running [modified AR-SE], survivors are rated for Nerve and can "Choke" if they fail a Nerve test. Having Super J with your character boosts your Nerve, 'cause you can't let the kid see you choke, right?)

Super J arrived here too. :)

First miniatures purchased in months, but I am still around and even plan to start painting again this weekend - I promised to run an RCW game at a friend's place on the 11th of November, so I've got to get my thumb out...
However, the new stuff is for an entirely different Civil War, the English, and won't see the painting table until sometime after mid-November.
1 pack of Warlord Cuirassiers (12 cav)
Warlord Pike & Shot Command (4 figures)
Count Tilly
Mounted Herald
Sir Thomas Fairfax
I have two foot and one horse regiment already - half finished and not touched since sometime last year - so this gives me a good selection of command figures for various force configurations and a unit of heavy horse for a generic ECW/TYW pike & shot force.
All these via LAF's own James Manto and his new webstore - https://j-m-miniatures.myshopify.com/ - and the Canadian Thanksgiving sale he ran earlier in October. His store still has a few issues to sort out, but email works nicely and we got my order sorted and shipped in good time, and over a long weekend to boot.
-
I was in a second hand shop whilst I was waiting for my wifes perscriptions to be made up at the Pharmacy when I spied a box of figs.....so I bought it.
5000 Games Workshop figures for $20AUD. Kroot, Lizardmen, Stegadons(still in box) IG, Space Marines, Dark Eldar, Dwarf inc some old LEAD engineers with tools, Elves, Bretonnians, Orcs, Goblins, Tau.....lots of races and vehicles.
Though I am not a GW player I think I can find some uses for some of these figs. My daughters have already decided that the Kroot and the Lizards are to be the new races in our VSF games.
So I guess the others will end up in the Bazaar soon.

Correctamundo.
Unfortunately, I cannot vouch for their availability. Clearco was kind enough to rush a few out for a few people who were 'first in line'. But has since moved out of the country, and I am uncertain if he has the models with him.
Near the end of the thread there was talk of joining up with a professional caster to make things easier.
Ask on the thread, he is still active on here.

The guillotine set is an an absolute cracker isn't it?
I bought some more Eureka frogmen to go with the build contest.

Not sure, try the Chronofus web site he may have some. I know Nic was still adding more figs due to popular request. Apart from the multi piece guillotine there are fofteen or twenty odd figures that go with it. It's really quite amazing.

Some nice stuff there, I shall check after I get back from a dinner outing.

Very unique. Who is the maker/seller?
Clearco from this forum made them up. I'm not certain his ability to sell at the moment as he was moving.

There is a pic on TMP search for Eureka and you will find it

Now there's a creative eye if there ever was one. I am very curious as to how this project develops. Please inform us with your progress.

A lazy eye, because (seeing there's the build something water project in the way) this will be procrastinated on indefinitely.
But seeing you've asked so nicely, I guess I'll have to deliver....
By the way, I almost tripped on the thing, but that was lucky, I guess.
I'll go start a thread somewhere to get things going....

That's a bit nice. I keep thinking of starting to collect those ones but then have to be sensible :'(
-
I bought a bunch of (33) 3rd ed. Warhammer welfies to paint (some number of) by the end of January. These will go alongside some Black Cat pygmies and Golfag's Merc. Ogres (less Golfag himself) so I can pit them against a horde of grey, plastic undead and start actually playing some games for the first time in years. I'd love to just once play a game with fully painted armies, but alas, that would take me years.
-
A whole boat load of Studio Miniatures plastic zombies from their indiegogo fund raiser. Now to prepare them.

Good lord :o that’s an amazing piece but it must have cost you a fortune..

I always felt sorry for those guys. They had a pretty rough time of it.

Except at the very end of Asterix and the Cauldron...

I just picked up 2 packets of Reaper Bones "Giant Rats". This'll be an experiment to see how I like painting on these, though it'll likely be some time before I actually get around to painting them. (sigh)
-
I always felt sorry for those guys. They had a pretty rough time of it.
Yeah, I think we all felt that at some point.
I really like the little ship with Asterix and Obelix in it too. :)
It did cost more than I feel comfortable with spending, but not nearly as much as the listed value.

That's one way to justify it to yourself ;)

Just received Professor Heisen, Doctor Dunkel, Lady Winston, Doctor Moreau and Professor Zed from the Secret Science range of Parroom from Brigade Games plus their Extraordinary Prussian officers.
All excellent and all arrived safely from across the pond.
All I have to do now is paint them to the same high standards as seen on this forum!!! :o
Easier to say than to do.

So usually I don't bother reporting the growth rate of my lead pile but I'll make a rare exception here. While spending time in Munich, I visited a couple of game, toy and model shops there. Most were quite typical. Railway shops had Faller, Noch, Heki etc. Gaming shops had GW. Everyone had German board games in German.
But then there was this place called Games-In on Dachauer Straße. Apparently they've been in business for 33 years or something. There was truly a formidable collection of stuff for all geekish needs, including boatloads of RPG books both used and new. And they had miniatures - Battletech, DSA, Enigma, RAFM, AD&D, Shadowrun, Thunderbolt Mountain, Rackham and many others which I've already forgot. Most of them were odds and ends with only a fraction of the range available, but they fit strangely well my needs. Somehow I managed to limit myself to this pile.
(http://dolmot.net/mini/misc/Munich-bought.jpg)
But the numerous offerings of railway shops, Christmas markets and other fanciful places managed to fill my luggage to the brim. Let's see if I'm able to reduce the pile even a tiny bit before Tactica...
-
ahh....lovely Dachauer strasse. That brings back memories.
-
10 old Citadel Gothic Horror minis at absurdly low prices! :D
Unfortunately, I'll probably just re-sell. :'(
Easy come, easy go!
-
Another pile of beaky marines, 30 ish, some on sprues some partly built. I think I've got enough for now.
-
But then there was this place called Games-In on Dachauer Straße.
I have to check them next time visiting Munich, sound s like a proper place for wargamers and this AD&D stuff is very rare and expensive in the meantime.

3 boxes of the Studio Miniatures Plastic Zeds and several metal zombie and survivor models.

Bit of a score yesterday - wandered into a charity shop while bored, came out with a crate of LOTR minis, Orks from the Black Reach set and a few odds and ends of Tau, plus scenery, paints, putty and a great big bag of dice.
Most of the LOTR figs will be going up for trade or sale in the New Year as I don't really need them, as will the majority of Orks. :D

I haven't had a charity shop hit in a long long time :'(
That's the first one I've ever had. lol There just doesn't seem to be the market for it round here.
No pics yet, but I think after cherry-picking what I want from it all, there are about 15 plastic Elves, the same of Men (Gondor?) and around 25-30 plastic orcs, which I think is the contents of one of the original battlegame boxes, plus a metal orc captain on a warg.
(I have decided to keep the metal Hobbits, Ringwraiths, Aragorn, Boromir, Gil-galad and Imrahil for myself)
There is also about a dozen or more Ork boyz from Black Reach, plus the three Deffkoptas, not all complete. Oh, and four or five plastic termagants as well.
I will be keeping the Tau that came with it though (10 fire warriors, 10 kroot, 1 drone, a stealth suit and a battle suit) as they are just the right number for my skirmish force fetish.
If anybody wants to make me an offer on the stuff I don't need, feel free. It'll be new year before anything goes in the post, mind.

Hmm. He remembers those and totally ignores the Lead Adventure Mad Science set I gave him. And the winged Gorilla from Eureka.
My Christmas present was rather more figure heavy than my birthday this year. I ended up with the Mannikin Studios Arthur Rackham figures (quite a fair number). Morland Studios "Kreimhild's Revenge" and "Fairy Queen Medb of the Sidhe", as well as their Roy Greenhilt Order of the Stick figure. Also Odila the Swan Maiden and Elana.
From Wyrde, the Malifaux Wendigo, Pere Ravage, Francois Lacroix, Malifaux child, Candy, Rasputina, and Performer & necromancer.
Helldorado Hashashin, Alazais, and Lemure pack 1.
Guild of Harmony Dorothy and Omaklon.
And some scenery.

Foundry ogres and Orcs from Redzed 8)

Dixon did Sci-fi? Never knew that.
Dixon are still a going concern and some of there stuff ain't too bad. Ok quite a few bobble and turnip heads in there but some of it is rather nice. It's also where a younger Mark Copplestone cut his teeth. I have some of his Sedgemoor range figures and they are still very good.

Their 15mm Indian Mutiny range is lovely.

9 British command figures from Baker Company - ordered Friday, arrived Monday, and I even got a part-refund on the postage through paypal. They've very rapidly become one of my favourite companies to deal with!
-
And the groovyness continues: 19 various Victorian-period/Pulp minis and a giant Mercurian gorilla with a massive gun... and I mean 'giant' and 'massive' quite literally, I think the thing is going to stand about 15cm/6" tall when it's done. At about 4-5mm to the foot, that's about 35' tall, to scale...
Thanks Whiskyrat! I'm a very happy Orc!
-
A headless tudor ghost from the citadel horrors range ive been after or years. Some 25mm stargrunt troopers for a star wars old Republic idea and those new guardsmen heads from puppets of war. Lovely sculpts and look great on some Victoria lamb stuff I have.
-
Too much!
Vapnartak's haul yesterday was policemen, anarchists and Mycroft Holmes from Ironclad, an ape in a bowler hat from West Wind, some of the new Judges (Sovs, Exorcist, Space Corps, Flying Squad) and Walter the Wobot from Mongoose, a Perry Minis carroccio wagon from Dave Thomas and a bundle of Victorian rioters and assorted civillians from Low Tar Dog.
That's not to mention the odd bits of Rogue Trader goodness I picked up on Ebay recently, and the set of Gnolls from Hasslefree.

Looks like a good pile :)
You were at Cancon? You know we really must set up some form of ,I don't know? Australian/New Zealand thing :)?
-
Yes, my first in 5 years. Would love to have caught up with some LAFers but didn't see much chatter before the con apart from those who were gaming in tournaments. I actually ran the DBM 3.2 comp but alas, only for 6 players. I fear it will be the last time DBM is played competitively in Oz.
Picked up some nice Wild West buildings in the Bring & Buy as well for about 25% of RRP. Shame I didn't have the cash on me at the time to grab the Soviet WW2 tank horde that was there, disappeared by the time I was cashed up.

An excellent Hell Hound (with evil Scooby Head) from Heresy Miniatures - arrived the next day. Their dispatch time really makes your head spin o_o
-
11 British in Pith Helmets and Rebreathers (10 troops and the commander) from Brigade Games - arrived pretty quickly and well packeged, not even got them out of the bags but apart from the odd bent rifle they look fine. They're about as much as I'm prepared to pay for figures (human-sized figs at £3 is pretty much it for me) though obviously postage from the States is a factor in that - but they are very nice!

The Crooked Claw goblin catapult :-* :-*

Vintage skaven 'Leader with Warplock Arquebus'.
Ebay (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/170991778119?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649) SoL (http://www.solegends.com/citcat19894winter/cat89wint011x-01.htm)
Been after one for a while. (Mind you, when I won it I realised that when I started 'being after one', that was when I still gave a hoot about GW's latest rules, where a warlock engineer with a rifle meant something. And before bits sellers started offering the placcy one out of Island of Blood. But anyway...)
-
10 battleforge dwarves - ebay steal
1 celtos character

2sets of terracing from Ainsty!

The new Eureka Somalis and the new Seal Team 6 with the weird wide angle NVGs.

10 Whiteknight Dwarf Light cavalry :-*

1 box each of Fireforge plastic Mounted Sergeants, Templar Knights and Foot Sergeants, all ready for an Early Crusades force - zounds!
-
The Indiegogo Pirate Goblins arrived today (sculptsed by Kev "goblinMeister" Adams)
-
I'm fond of the new Seb Perbett style of GW's skaven, and I've been meaning to restart a skaven army with the Island of Blood box set - originally for 8th ed, but now for a Kings of War ratmen fan list. Trouble is I wanted to support the local GW and buy it there, but couldn't quite bring myself to drop the £60 (and rising) on it. Then new management flaunted it's lack of social skills and that was it: I went off to the ebay resellers. And I'm glad I did - I've been picking up a bunch of nice, cheap bits and pieces. :D
Case in point: I just recieved a decent wee haul (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281067131786?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649) from ebay.
1 IoB placcy skaven warlock for said ratmen army.
1 WH empire wizard kit that I've been meaning to pick up for a while.
6 old bretonnian placcy archers, that may or may not turn up in an ASoIaF force.
4 Skull Pass gobbos which I just like.
4 vintage skaven plastics, which are the only things I'm not fussed about.
Also, the Gamesday 2011 skaven warlord (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221194065000?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649). Not as cheap as the IoB plastic warlord, or cheap at all, but I like it better; and I keep telling myself it's not much more expensive than a regular character blister from GW. It helps... a little.
(What doesn't help are the other copies that turned up afterwards with much lower starting bids)

Well, a reet lovely haul arrived today courtesy of our very own Lowtardog.
4 Jewish Gunmen - that I'd been trying to find in order to begin a VBCW side-project that I was discussing here: http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=50383.0
A pistol-packing female of possibly 1960s persuasion, maybe from Artizan's 'Kiss Kiss Bang Bang' range or something similar
A 'Hasslefree Madge' loading her shotgun
A 'Hasslefree Kindred' WWI Hobbit infantryman
Some backpacks (marked 'SEA PACK' I think), 8 heads in seemingly navy-type caps (marked 'RND') and a head in a Brodie-style helmet, 12 various rifles, 4 maxim-gun type affairs (two together, the other two seperate, on stalk/mount things for use as anti-aircraft guns or something similar), 2 buckets, a fuel can and a small scenic base-type thing with 2 packs, a rifle and two ammo-boxes moulded into it that can be used as a marker for an ammo cache or similar.
Thanks Lowtardog, you lovely lovely Geordie you!
-
No problems mate sorry for delay in sending. I am sure the woman is a female Jewish type, they are martin baker sculpts hence why they look like the geezers. :D
-
Went to semi-local convention. Hot lead in Stratford Ontario.
19 Copplestone African archers $19
33 Foundry pirates $32
10 painted Artisan Arab Irregulars $70 :-*
Spending less the a quarter of my budget....priceless
-
Four more old-school Ork Kommandos from the very lovely Mason - part of a bundle of Orky stuff! Cheers mate!
-
20 Demon blade terror bird riders
4 Marauder Thunderers
-
Zombie surfer from Hasslefree! Brilliant figure!
-
2 more packs of the Celtic Myth/Erin line from Alternative Armies. Thank you LAF for more minis from other lines like the unfinished minis I already have. ::)
-
Got some plastic War of the Roses infantry from Perry Miniatures.
At last! A start to my FitzGerald retinue.
Also, there was an offer I couldn't refuse on some Theban Hoplites.
I'm rolling in the plastic figures now! lol
-
30 mantic zombies for conversion with GW skelly weapon arms and GB viking/saxon heads for more undead types for my celtos - horde - horde I tellls ya
Also on the horizon a very kind gift (from Steders) of some Rackham Caer Mead warriors to add to the horde for elite troopers ;D :D
-
just received CIC04, the 5 soldier french foreign legion pack from Old Glory
what can I say.....
the moulds are clearly terribly worn out. They do not look like on my reference picture below
The first impression was unenthusiastic, and the second close look with a magnifying glass clearly shows destroyed details on the rifles.
I am seriously considering complaining and taking closeup pictures.
What a disappointment.....
-
Should have got the Artizan ones, lovely casting and consistent quality from Northstar
-
I like diversity, and these happen to fit perfectly with Artizan. And I like them. The cast is the problem, not the sculpt
-
At first glance I thought they were Artizan, however I know that the quality of OG is often a little below par
-
4 viking hirdman and 3 saxons from Gripping Beast.

Dreadball kickoff, canny bargain from Forlorn hope
-
Steady trickle of RT (trader & trooper ) minis, chaos dwarfs etc.. ;)
-
Got an order from Heroes of the Dark Age. Never heard of them? There might be a few reasons for that.
- Took about two weeks to be sent. (not good when I need them urgently for a game next week)
- One shield to be divvied up between three shield-bearing minis.
- The horse for the mounted figure is not the one shown in the website photo. Not even close.
- It looks like an Ebob horse, which isn't so bad, but seems to have been put through such a clumsy moulding process that it's almost a flat. Or at least, almost half the width it should be.
Pros:
- They're cheap. Ish.
- I got a couple of freebies thrown in.
- The guys at the club aren't hypercritical (unlike me). The minis'll do for now if I can get a lick of paint on.
-
30 mantic zombies for conversion
-
the moulds are clearly terribly worn out.
However Old Glory agreed to send replacement, so good customer relation is worth something!

Direct from Bob Murch, as we were both at the Trumpeter Salute convention this past weekend, six spiffy new packs of Pulp Figures.
The Mad Guru (Thuggee Cult leader)
Thuggee with Rifles
Thuggee with handweapons
Sergeants Three, 1930s versions, for the proper combating of Thugee cultists.
Dangerous Dames II, because dangerous women are always fun.
US Navy deck crew, to complement the armed US Navy gunboat sailors I'm currently painting.
This makes my Thuggee Cult considerably larger, more dangerous and more versatile, and gives my small force of British soldiers in tropical kit (a mix of Pulp and Brigade) some dashing senior NCOs to aid in combating this growing menace.
The US Navy boys might wind up facing down some of the unruly Chinese troops my brother is busy painting, possibly on a small riverine gunboat yet to be built...
-
Buxom wench bathing in a large wooden tub, water all frothy with a busty serving wench holding a platter - all 28mm and painted.
-
Figures from the Perry Sudan range
- infantry firing line
- Sikh firing line
- Gardiner gun & naval crew
It's the first time I've dealt with them - I'm impressed with the figures, the service and the handly little boxes they came in :D

A Curtey's Chinese scribe and assistant, but not just any one of this great vignette. This is one of the painted samples to be taken to shows, designed, made, and painted by one of the owners of Curtey's Mick Curtis. Needless to say I am extremely happy to have a new paymaster/spymaster/itinerant poet for my Back of Beyond games

-
A mix of Redoubt characters, vignettes, and casualties from the Trojan Wars line. A bit shit really. Hopefully I'll warm up to them, but I don't think I'll be buying from Redoubt again. :(

... and I blame both V and Waywatcher for this purchase ;D

Its an old,old range the molds must be tired, I am sure they were out and about in the early 90`s
-

Yep. Mid 90s at the latest cos that's about the last time I purchased a copy of Miniature Wargames and there was an ad in one of my copies.
-
Werner Klocke's "Not-Pippi Longstocking" miniature. I have no Idea why my trader still had some of those.
-
Just got back from Enfilade. Bought some French sailors, Senegalese trigaliers & spahis, Laptops & african sailors from Riveresco. Also more darkest Africa natives from various companies though Gem Games. 140 figures total. My count is now in the negative for painted. should turn that around in the next couple of weeks.
-
A mixed bag from ebay - 7 plastic Bloodbowl Orcs, 26 various LotR minis (High Elves, Goblins and a couple of Orcs, men of Numenor/Gondor, men of Rohan), four 40k minis, a couple of Heroquest figues, a single Orc from Space Crusade accompanied by a broken heavy weapon from the Dreadnaught from the same game, and a single metal wheel that appears to be from the Goblin Chariot c1988, as well as a bunch of bases - Warhammer, 40k, LotR, an old hex-base and a couple I don't recognise. Oh, and the plastic circular bit from an old mouse.
A few of the minis have missing/broken weapons, shields and arms, but, flipping heck, 40 minis (35 of them complete) for £6 including postage isn't bad. About 8 of them are quite well painted and I'd slap them on the table no worries. So, yeah, pretty happy with that...
-
Bi parcel from Northstar with Lord Curr's company, the Scotland Yard Company, and three villainous bonus figs, as well as the rulebook for 'In her Majesty's Name'. I'm having a very happy Friday! :D
Can you tell me if they are 28mm (like Artizan Miniatures) or higher?
-
I think they scale well with Artizan - maybe a little taller but I'm happy enough.
Does anyone know if there are scale shots of the IHMN minis around?
-
A specially 're-dressed' Nerdlord 2 to match the current incarnation of the Name Chooser from Gallifrey - thanks, Mr. Steve!

-
Some eBob Normans - very nice, hope he expands the range
-
Just had delivered a boxed set of Flintloque Orcs - a factory painted set of 8 figures.

Good call. Glad you like them. ;)
-
Just got a nice deal on Ebay a GW case filled with 108 clan wars figures all in nice condition for $100 That's kinda like $700 worth. woo hoo
-
At a show last weekend, I picked up five packs of 28mm VSF figures from Ironclad Miniatures plus the IHMN rules - should be enough to get me started with this game. :)
-
Got talked into trading a couple of 40k tanks and some bits with a friend who wanted to get rid of a big box of historical miniatures so I ended up with over 100 Zulu warriors, a good bunch of British soldiers, some celts/romans etc. Now I just need to come up with a project for them.
-
My Judge Minty from the Frothers Charity Thingy turned up the other day.
I'd totally forgotten that I was actually getting something for that.
Really nice, dare I say it puts all of mongoose's Dredd stuff to shame and leaves me wishing Frothers had some more done so I couldn't have a wee squad of them.
-
12 Quar partizans...now I have a full company of militia :D
-
Judge Minty..... Really nice, dare I say it puts all of mongoose's Dredd stuff to shame and leaves me wishing Frothers had some more done so I couldn't have a wee squad of them.
Was never going to happen, I'm afraid. Mongoose (love 'em or loathe 'em) were very kind (as were Rebellion) in allowing us to infringe on their IP and license as it was and to do more Judges would have just been taking the Mickey Bliss.
-
A few heavily discounted packs of the Dadi i Piombo/ Venexia Modern Italians that were part of an online sale. Hard to resist at the price. Finally started to look at them properly and put a few together.
Verdict? Welcome to the 1990s or maybe the late '80s. These are rather like 28mm versions of the old Hotspur/ Combat Miniatures from the early '90s in terms of detail and casting quality. Quite a bit of flash to be trimmed and detail wise nothing like as sharp as the current sculpting benchmarks, whcih is why they make me think of big 20mms, complete with thick, thick bases and rifle magazines as thick as family bibles. I'm not bagging them, they will do service and it's an unusual topic that also has quite a bit of conversion potential. Carry handles snipped off, the rifles make pretty good Galil proxies.
-
Okay… since the last time I wrote here I got;
6 20mm Armourfast Firefly
1 20mm Britannia Tiger I
1 20mm Britannia King Tiger w/ Herschel Turret
1 20mm Britannia King Tiger w/ Porsche Turret
1 20mm Britannia German Halftrack w/ Short 75mm Gun
1 20mm Britannia Stuart
1 20mm Britannia Wrecked Jeep
A handful of Britannia 20mm German in Greatcoat and Waffen-SS, British SBS, British Infantry, British Para, US Infantry, US Para… and 28mm Somali
Also got Pulp Figures personality, US Marines in hat and Cultist and Cultist in Gasmask…
All in all, probably close to 380 figures! I’m doomed!!! :o
-
140 various clone troopers, droids, RT-ATs, swamp skimmers, BARC speeders, LAAT Gunship and jedi. :D
-
9 celtos flesheaters for a steal at £5 including postage

LAM Landsknechts arrived this week, stunning quality!

Went a little mad this month and dropped a fair bit on ebay:

Strangely no one but me bid on the terminator squads (in blue) so each squad was £1.99 and the inquisitor in terminator armour was £2.20.
But the best thing that happened to me on the mini front this week is winning this lot on ebay for £32, I gambled as the pic looked interesting and I could collect from the seller who was less than an hour away:

Sweet zombie Jehovah there's a lot of ancient citadel in this lot, most of it's being detol bathed at the moment but I'll post up a breakdown when I get it all sorted and I'll probably be posting up some stuff for trade in the bizzare when I get sorted
-
:o :-*
Bloody well played!
-
I bought Little Miss Muffet, Alice In Wonderland, a Tavern Wench, a Space Babe, a Secret Agent Babe, an Anime Babe, an Alien Babe, a Female Druid and a Steampunk Babe from Reaper. I also bought Peter Pan and Tinkerbell from Tales of War and a couple of Pirates from Ron and Bones. I got my Gnomes in from Stonehaven as well. Pretty good haul so far.
-
this morning I had the pleasure to unpack the Artizan order I bought from
Miniaturicum that arrived yesterday
THX again, Michael, splendid service in 3 days from online order to door delivery, all for free, all complete
now, apart from possibly the legion mounted command (of which I haven't seen a picture yet...) I have probably all Artizan foreign legion I ever wanted, including a plethora of officers (and also some surplus I want to pass on) for the legionnaires from other manufactureres that needed command figures.
And for the first time I have three unit compositions complete so that I will be able to start my army painter challenge
only figures missing now are from woodbine, brigade and foundry that will allow me to complete the other 5 units for the whole army, but I have now a few months breathing space until I have to order these too
the only thing I am still pondering is whether to make a unit of senegalese rifles as well
-
3 each of the 2 sets of Sloppy Jalop's drivers and passengers for vehicles in Gangster wars.
12 Foundry Old West Townsfolk.
-
A very nice set of Milesians from a fellow LAFer, for my Celtic Myth project! Great minis, but more work for my Army Painter thread! ::)
-
Reaper bones skellies and werewolf, from Black Knight Games at Q-Con.
:o
Not the stuff for me. Not for little spear-clutching human(oid)s, anyway. Maybe if I ever need one of those legendary worms, but even then don't fancy the mould lines.
-
A few packs of French Napoleonic Sailors from Brigade ( Paul Hicks of course) for a little Legion Nautique skirmish in Egypt. Johan is doing the Arabs....
The Limes Roman watchtower from 4Ground for Dux Brittaniarum. Great model!
-
From Hinterland:
Princess Viktoria - On Foot
Autohusaren

10, mounted FFL
I also got the Lucky Bag, 40 miniatures, most of them WW2 and super cheap.

Four WHFB Island of Blood rat ogres, twenty stormvermin and a doom-flayer. Added to four characters, two more rat ogres, a warpfire thrower, a bunch of giant rats, and over a hundred clanrats. I can probably start building.

5 space vixens from Hydra, three astronauts from Crooked Dice and the film crew from Pulp Miniatures. Yes, I'm attemting my own - nowhere near as good - version of 'and ..... ACTION!' and at the speed I paint at it might be ready by the the next millenium. ;)
-
Knuight command from White Knight and his erstwhile enterprise :D
-
To celebrate getting paid, I thought I'd see if I could get hold of some bargains off ebay.
So, cut a long story short, not only did I get a bunch of Heroquest minis cheaply that I figured would make for some interesting if a little random Superhero enemies, I now have a Gondor LotR project that I accidently find myself in. And they haven't all arrived yet... GULP.
EDIT: I meant Heroscape, not Heroquest. Much more random for Supers games... I'd have to come up with some plot about the Morlock Warlock or something to justify throwing in a load of Orcs to a superhero game...
-
A bunch of Goblinaid minis form Ral Partha Enterprises. Lovely sculpts and excellent casts.
-
Four Chaos Dwarf Swivel guns plus crew,Chaos Dwarf rocket launcher,Nine Rogue Trader Chaos Marines,one Rogue Trader Spacemarine,Rogue Trader Inquisitor with hat and long coat,Space Zoat,First Space Ork,Warhammer Dwarf cannon(could also be a flame cannon.Also two sets of dwarves which make up a flame cannon held in the hands of the first one with the second having a bellows and barrel on his back.Also a few Imperial Dwarves too.These worked out at £1.00 each with the Zoat being £3.Nice little haul to get me on a nother project ;).Could easily have spent loads more money on old Citadel.
-
.Could easily have spent loads more money on old Citadel.
Glad you didn't as it meant I got two old imperial robots and a marine dreadnought for a tenner. Oh and some judge dread figures off another stand.
-
...Could easily have spent loads more all the money on old Citadel.
Fixed that for you Andy ;)

not much, Hasslefrees cobra plus Reaper Chronossopes robot and SF adventuress
but
as I was in Berlin I would like to turn Your attention to
Gamer's HQ
http://tabletop-berlin.de/Portal/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2&Itemid=5&lang=en
a beautifully maintained store, with gaming facilities and a very nice and friendly staff, and
if You want to see miniatures unpacked so that You can see what You buy, all shaded in a glass display case
that's the place to go
the most positive shopping experience I had in a long time
very close to the botanical garden in a beautiful neighbourhood of Berlin, lots of other reasons to go there
beware, the shop has a very small front and does not advertise it's presence in a flashy obtrusive way, so you might easily miss it as it happened to me, although I was looking for it....
-
Well Sold house so treating myself ;D
just got the 2 foundry packs of old citadel minis, really impressed, nice clean casts and lovely models wouldnt think they were 26 year old sculpts hold up rather well.

not yet, but last week I had two critical moments.
First while looking for Harryhausen screenshots and I stumbled on a bunch of "The Valley of Gwangi" shots ;D ;D
Second I found myself looking at the sarissa old west buildings bundles, but hopefully I regained self control in the last moment.
I promised myself an old west project after my D&D project is done.
-
just unpacked Crusader three foreigners and a large pile of Kroot sprues from @Mr. Rab

Rangers and Indians from Paleskin in trade ;D

finally got my Wargames Foundry foreign legion, courtesy of @Mason
Thank You very much again
who brought them for me from a show
these are absolutely compatible with Artizan WW2 range, apart from the tunic cut, which is earlier, but can only be seen by the knowing eye, because most of it is obscured by the scarves.
More in my army painter thread, since they are in the row for november

I think I might go for the blaster and use him in a future game of Rogue Trader!
-
Snow troopers from 4A (http://www.fouraminiatures.com).
Nice models and fast service too :)
-
A pack of Baluchi Swordsmen from Foundry and a pack of Swashbucklers, also from Foundry.
Anyone know if any of those Baluchi Swordsmen are meant to come in two pieces? One of mine is missing his sword and hand, cut off at the wrist (a *great* cut with a saber by his opponent!).
I didn't see a missing part when I noticed this, but maybe it's somewhere....
-
Contact Foundry, I don't think there are separate parts in those packs.

Ahh, I found the piece in the sink where I washed the mould-lubricant off the minis. Glad I did not fix the plunger in the sink when my wife asked, otherwise, that sword and hand would be gone now. ;)
Odd that the hand came off.
Anyway, I glued it on and will smooth it with some GW liquid green putty. Once painted, it will look as good as new. Bummer that the wrist will be fragile, though.
I am so consistently impressed by Foundry's minis.

1 each of the Crusader Celt colections.

Finally all is right with the world, I have finally bought more than I've painted this year!
-
15 undead Baluchis from the very nice folks at Obelisk Miniatures (http://www.obeliskminiatures.com/).
9 Metal Nazguls, one is already painted (beautifully!) and is the benchmark for the other 8. My daughter loves these. :)
And 8 Foundry Baluchis, 18 Foundry Valkyries (again, my daughter), and 6 Foundry Conquistadors.
Working on the Nazguls. My colors look alright but I managed to loose a lot of fine detail compared to Karsten's fantastic example (the first painted mini I have purchased in, gosh, 30+ years).
Using the Reaper "Dusky Skin" triad for these guys, plus a little black washes. There's more to painting black than just black paint... ;)
-
Trying to restart my Warhammer 4th edition Orc and Goblin army by trawling eBay for bargains. Received in the last week; 12 goblin wolf riders, 12 Black orcs and 4 night goblin fanatics. More on the way.

Pile of figs from Andy at Heresy for SA including the Ghoul King, ghouls, Dark brethern, Dark brethern leadera and two of the daemon hounds. He also included some of the best Humbugs I have ever had.
Also picked up the Dragonblood Dark Mariner leviathan and telepath from Fantization. Lots of fun stuff to paint
-
14 Foundry Masai. Still wrapping up the last of the undead Baluchi's but got the Masai primed and base coated. Seem simple enough except for the shields. Great figures of a an incredible people.
-
The day-off replacement for Cassie absolutely sucks. He/She ignored the delivery slot, came onto the covered porch found the empty box my wife used for People dropping off forms for work on the weekend on a chair, and dropped the bills, ads, and a package in it which I found Sunday. >:( ::)
Rebel Minis 15 mm Steampunk Heroes, Gas-masked "British" troops (soon to be Spanish,) Super Heroes, Super Villains, and two packs of Deep Ones to replace my GW Lizardmen for hostile Venusian natives. The shields (No shield/weapon, "pseudo 'tortoise' shell" and spear, and "sea shell" and spear) gives ideas for tribal affiliations and rivalries for the exploiting Spanish to consider.
I may have found part of the solution to my o_o retirement space problems... 8) :) :-*
Gracias,
Glenn

Some greens for my projects and a big box of the Warzone kickstarter stuff. The latter looks like they are great sculpts and very good quality resin castings (though I seem to recall some of these were supposed to be hard plastic kits?). It all looks very high quality, but I set it aside for taking a closer look later as I have very little free time available atm.

Nothing latest or greatest, just a mixed batch of goodness!!
Some Ainsty bits (now I am no longer Pierless), a few Newark odds n'sods, Sand Pebble gunboat sailors by Tiger, bigger'n Murch matelots, not quite as crisp, but certainly useful by themselves.
Pick of the litter though has gotta be those Tiger MULES!!
Magnificent Oat Burners!! Their bucking Long Ear is priceless, she'll make a great Plot Point or Extreme Peril in her own right!!!
(http://recreationalconflict.lusagi.com/tigerimages/full/mp20.jpg)
Good lookin' cargador too, in the Hispanic set, flexible for lots of Perilous Pulp Alley adventures.

I plan to "Collect all 8" or however many Molly iterations they do.

if You are not peckish, Artizan has also four beautiful bedouin camel riders in the arab revolt range, You could at least use them for Senussi

They will be joining my other Eureka Spanish Conquistadors: four cavalry; 4 musketmen; and a rather aggressive monk with sword and cross; and Wargames Foundry Spanish Conquistadors (two different packs sword and buckler; one pack arquebus) and the
Opposition will be provided by Wargames Foundry Swashbucklers (7 different packs; plus the little cannon) and Elizabethans (including 6 demilancers; 6 mtd command figures; two different command packs; 8 pike), and some of the SgtMajor Borderer figures (4 Border Horse; 10 infantry).
I also have two different packs of the Carribean Cimmarons which can be either more Quilombos or allies to Drake's men !

Haven't fully decided yet (this probably will be a long-term project for when I retire). I thought that Ronin would make a good set (with a little tweaking) for 16th century skirmishes, given the different armor classes, arquebus rules (the teppo), etc. Akso contemplating the following (with a few tweaks):
There is this group who used a modified version of lord of the rings/legends of the old west to game a "what if" campaign for landings by the Armada in England (just as usable for the Dutch campaigns)
http://www.spiritofthegame.org.uk/1588andallthat/about.htm
There is also Hot Trod and Red Hand. Designed for 16th Century Anglo-Scottish Border Reivers, but with a little tinkering could easily be used for many other campaigns.

Aye picked up 2 of the horned warriors, one demon type is now manning my chariot as a general (he is something called angel of flame or some such with his demonic imps (they are 2 of your figures, the flying chap and the little winged imp with a spear ;D)
Last one is the blind folded chap who will be a seer type character.
I ahve the Kronos Lords on the way and then think I have just about exhausted options for adding to the lists ;D
You will just have to wait for the other three Death Cherubs to be released then ;).Along with the other weird little pieces that Paul Muller has done for me.
Did you get the Fomorians from Northstar?

Just finished a couple of nice projects.
There's the cover diorama for the next issue of WS&S - 'The Mongols'. Very scary and the biggest piece I've done yet, but it looks okay in the end (see the article inside for full details). I think it's a special edition for Salute, so it interrupts their usual 'every other month' printing schedule.
Then there was the seriously fun VSF Mike Owen stuff for Northstar seen here - http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=62200.0
Now I've got some ultra-secret new goodies for Dead Man's Hand. Suffice to say it's a couple of really nice Western movie characters again, presumably to be revealed at Salute as well.

Head to workbench and there's my thread on using mini's to get into uni.
I advise not getting them for general gaming use if you move around alot.If you're keeping them at home then go for it because they're great, and for dioramas i couldn't think of better, but a harsh wind might shatter them.
-
Playing catching up with Pulp Figures releases I got two parcels today primarily including thuggees, but also a new film crew, some dames in distress or perfectly fine, British sailors in navy whites,. Very nice, all of them.

If the models are that good, I'll probably grab them at some point. I have a lot of GW Skeleton Horde plastics that I intend to use for several purposes, and they could need company/more variations. :)

Went to "Hot Lead" in Stratford, Ontario, last weekend - great little convention and highly recommended!
Sold a lot of stuff in the Flea Market and came away with some stuff (even though I shouldn't have):
Some sort of alien queen from Reaper's Chronoscope line. She nis sitting in some sort of hover-throne. I bought the figure b/c I think she somewhat resembles the cat race from Airlock Games latest kickstarter.
Also, some pulp era civilians (Bob Murch's I think) which I intend to use in my VBCW in Barsetshire campaign.

Just received my second s2 zombicide shipment. Sadly a lot of my excitement for this game has dissipated. I do enjoy it, but the second batch just feels like more of the same. I don't feel the need to add more to my Zombicide collection at this point, so I'll certainly not be going in for season 3.
The same day I also received an order from Mantic. There was a lot of stuff in that box:
- Dwarf King's Hold: Green Menace
- Dwarf King's Hold tile set (includes tiles for both Dead Rising and Green Menace
- Dreadball coaches
- Dreadball: Azure Forest expansion
- Dreadball Utlimate expansion
- Kings of War: Mhorgoth's starter box (Dwarfs and Undead)
- Kings of War: Werewolves (3)
- Kings of War: Mhorgoth the necromancer
- bases bases and more bases!

Eureka's new 28mm Rhodesian African Rifles. As always, exquisite figures and the usual caveat applies, no they aren't listed on the site yet, email Nic for details. Whilst I have no use for Rhodesians, these will make perfect conversion pieces for many a post war army equipped with FN FALs and MAG which is precsely what I intend to do. Might take a picture if anyone is interested but I suspect they will be up on Kosta's blog site before too long anyway.

The very limited edition VSF superhero shown on this forum. Well, I haven't seen it yet, but I've been told it arrived. :)

Do you use those 1/43 cars with 28mm miniatures?

Do you use those 1/43 cars with 28mm miniatures?
Looks good with 'heroic' 28 mm. For slimmer figs, my personal preference is 1/48.
-
Do you use those 1/43 cars with 28mm miniatures?
Yes, I do, but they are largish, so it should be 28, not 25. But the scale is not always consistent. I will take a photo row for comparison, cause I am not sure. Some 1/48 go very well with 1/43, but the so called "true-scale" 1/56 usually don't go together with them. It's quite a jump

Some heroclix generators from the X-Men Danger Room set, which I intend to use for VSF, and very kindly hunted down by "bobblezbob" in his local gaming shop for me (thank you, :D). I'm still looking for a few more, if anyone has any spare....?

Gosh, he's a big figure! I hadn't realised quite how massive these figures are. Nice though. I ordered him to use with my Artful Dodger company for IHMN. I guess he's going to be known as "Giant Foul 'Ole Ron" to the inhabitants of Victorian London, lol

The LE Che Guevara fig courtesy of a very generous LAFer.
A WLG BA Heer Command and a WLG BA Heer 120mm Heavy Mortar team from my FLGS which were cheaper here in OZ than through the Warlord sale that was on until last night.

Most 25mm figs blend quite nidely with 28mm as long as the 28s are not the exaggerated 'heroic' style.
You probably know this, but a good trick can be to base on smaller bases (makes the figs seem larger) and/or 'elevate them with an extra layer/coin/washer to make them look taller).

9 Drop Troopers for Incursion.
At first I thought they had only sent out the Drop Troopers, but Laertes (who didn't order those) got all the other stuff in today, so I knew there had to be something wrong.
All the metal KS exclusive figures should have been in the box, but apparently there was some glitch in the system when changing plastic exclusives for metals and I, as well as several others didn't get those :(
Have contacted Westwind as apparently they got wind (pun intended) of the problem.
-
slight correction to my previous post : somehow I miscalculated (brain fart ?): I got only 8 Drop Troopers (it seems they added a freebie to the 7 of my starter set :D)
And still more good news : my email to Westwind got answered within hours with a promise that the missing stuff is to be sent at the end of the week. 8)

Hasslefree Harlequin and Bergil.
Before them, Hasslefree Sana, Ferrus, Boudi, Kalyna, Wolf, Volk, Akos, and Heresy's Big Boris II.
All are great minis.
The HF ones are very, very small and detailed, real works of art (which is why I love them) but also too small (which makes them very difficult for me to paint).
Big Boris is exactly as he looks on the 'net. Big, muscled, could be a Space Marine wearing a loincloth, size and build-wise.
Awesome, funny expression, as well.

I'm also a fan of Kingsford minis. When I get around to doing our Samurai game, I'll definitely be looking for their figures.

That's certainly some contemporary subject matter you're playing .
-
Very fresh!
I'm going to scratch build a D9R Doobi in 6mm, as well as backhoes, for tunnel destruction.
The Arab-Israeli conflict is my area of interest. 1948 - today.

No, not really. I'm not political, so it's detached for me. I think if anything I am getting loads of ideas to game with. I think some of the modern Imagi-Nations people are doing the same thing with the Ukraine conflict. It's only a game.

Please be careful not to stray into actual politics.

Please be careful not to stray into actual politics.
Yes, hence my "I'm not political" statement. I could just as easily set this up as an Imagi-Nation with the Evil Forces of Samah against the FDI - Force D'Independence! (maybe safer...)
It's all about playing with toys - nothing more. And shouldn't be! :)
-
Please be careful not to stray into actual politics.
Was just curious, but aye, i apologize.this is why i tend to avoid the real side of of wargaming, too much chance for arrgument.give me heroes and imagination, not Hamas and Israel.

Please leave it at that, folks, and get back to discussing new miniature purchases.

The Fellowship. 9 metal miniature set, still MISB!
I'm not a collector of LoTR minis or a player of the game, but I've always liked the sculpting on the line. No surprise, since much of it's the work of the Perry brothers. A random acquisition last year reminded me that I should see about getting some, so I've been keeping my eye open and when this showed up for silly cheap money I couldn't resist.
-
Arrived today, no time to snap pictures before supper:
1 Fantasy Adventurers 1
Item # ADVENTURERS1
1 Lizardmen (set of five different poses)
Item # MYST-300
Live the adventurers - still sorting race/gender/class - the last is a bit hard between possibles (which is good.)
Like the lizard men, trying to see if they fit in with my current VSF lizard races.
Gracias,
Glenn
-
Glenn,
If you're interested in lizardmen for VSF have you seen the Badger Games not-slaan?
I've got a couple that I picked up two conventions ago, and hope to get more someday, but here's a guy who painted one up really nice:
http://empireofghosts.blogspot.com/2011/05/lizard-with-laser-gun.html
I think they're still in production, but you'd have to contact them direct to find out.

A pair of Reaper Bones monsters, ordered through my FLGS to see what the Bones material is like. The intention is to convert them for Blood Bowl.
I got the Ogre Chieftain and the treeman Spirit of the Forest. Both nice stuff, and the Bones material takes detail well and is easy to convert - I took the club out of the ogre's hands in about two minutes of work.
The Spirit of the Forest has two right hands, a packaging error that Reaper has already shipped me the replacement part for. I emailed their customer service address Friday night, had a reply first thing this morning, replied to that with my shipping address and got a shipping notice this afternoon - I am hugely impressed with Reaper's customer service now!
-
Just receieved my warg chieftain from a fellow LAF-er :)
-
I bought the Empress Legion from the same chap.
I got them out to paint at the weekend and not a single Legion figure in there. Of the 33 figures, two were Condor Legion, three were Republican Militia and the final 28 were Falangistas - bugger, looks like my Falange will be getting a lot bigger!
Rather narked that I bought from Empress a pack of Legion Officers and a pack of Legion LMGs to pad them out.

-
Arrived yesterday and just got out of the Dettol bath a Vostoryan Standard Bearer and a Commanding Officer that I got from ebay for the princely sum of £1.74.
To quote the Music Magpie "BELTER, GET IN"
-
4 packs of old (1982) Rospaks Greeks. 25mm hard plastic and not bad for the time....only released for less than a year due to 'pressure' from the metal manufacturers of the time....a conspiracy theory I am trying to unravel for an eventual blog post :D
-
From Ground Zero Games, my first 15mm SF purchases in close to ten years!
24 of the new NSL powered armour and a mix of drones; intending to make a drone-heavy power armour strike force - two or three drones per trooper, with a squad consisting of two or three troopers + attached drones.
Looking into the Gruntz rules, probably, which seem to suit better than the venerable Stargrunt II rules.
This will be a revival of my long-simmering Red Mars project, at long last. More on that at some point this winter!
-
More Empress Zulu wars British. I was within one unit of painting all my previous purchases and finishing a project! Couldn't let that happen. lol Besides the Lancers looked to good not to get at least one unit.
-

The CRISIS people are awesome!
because the miniature was undersupplied, I did not get one when I was there.
But they sent some after me! Is that great or is that great?
also, the people at SCARAB recently completed my french collection, I now have a huge general staff team as well, complete - including the magnificently sculpted generals with oak leaves on the hat!
HA! take that Great War Miniatures :D although, their general staff is similarly awesome, can't complain!

Nope, they are temporarily glued to a painting board with spray primer on them.

All designed to fit with the new Company B vehicles previewed on here a few weeks ago.

Both are excellent and will be my first project for 2015.

Just before Christmas my Dreadball Xtreme base game showed up, and then on Christmas Eve two huge boxes of stuff from Miniature Market landed on my doorstep. Tons of AT-43 Cogs, as well as almost 150 Confrontation figures for four different armies. Finally, I picked up the giant Borg Cube for Star Trek Attack Wing on Boxing day at a substantial discount. So many new toys!

-
Another couple of minis for the RPG project, Hasslefree this time (although the wizard is probably an ex Red Box model):

Bunch of barbarian minis from the late 70s / 80s that I bought 'blind' thinking some were Tony Yates' marvellous sculpts......only 1 turned out to be >:(
-
From local model shop.....
Three boxes full to complement my metals that I've been collecting on and off for a few years.
-
I think I must have suffered some kind of mental breakdown today, because I went into GW and paid full retail price for a plastic skaven warlord.

Do not move, the ambulance is on its way to your current location ;)

:D
I dragged myself home from work to find a pretty big box waiting for me. Didn't have a clue what it was until I looked closer at the address label. "Hmm. That looks like the font Heresy Miniatures uses. Aha..."
Just got myself a honking big dragon. :D
-
Surprise from a backorder when I visited my FLGS yesterday, 4 of the WI Moments in Victory had finally come in. I got Rommel/Monty, Nelson, Caesar and Xmas truce. All 28mm, exxy but classic pieces and will become various commanders or vignette centre pieces.
-
A bunch of 10mm Battle of Five Armies orc units and leaders, and a couple of Warmaster high elf characters. For a fairly reasonable price, too, seeing as a single old Warmaster blister can have a £25 tag on it, these days.
-
2 wrath of kings figures with their stat cards to be used in Zombicide as cosplayers :D

Ah, well, the package has arrived at my parents while I'm at home fighting the flu :-[
I'll take a comparison shot once I actualy have them in my hands.
-
Would be great :)
Where did you get them from?
-
80 plastic warzone figures from prince august, and 1 metal trencher sniper.
-
Would be great :)
Where did you get them from?
From the Wrath of Kings kickstarter. There was quite a fuss when they created those only for the WoK pledgers, so they caved and set up a pledge level for Zombicide pledgers so we could order only those minis :D

I see, thanks for the info :)
Was wondering if I should get me some Nasier in the future, but it depends how well they work with the Confro-minis...and their price of course ;)
-
Two sets of 3-stage characters, and 3 Half-orc Women from Fenryll Miniatures.
This was our first foray into non-metal (other than 2 Reaper Bones we bought on vacation at a war memorabilia shop) and I don't know if this is usual for resin. The flash is terrible and the detail on the back of the cloaks is soft and smudged. The backs aren't actually pictured on the website, so it might be a flaw in the sculpting and not the casting.
I'm not sworn off plastics, but I'm definitely not ordering from overseas without a 360 degree view again.
Jevenkah
edit: The Half-Orc women are much nicer sculpts than the human women.

As promised a (quick) comparison pic of WoK/Zombicide minis with conf' :

Bolt Action Soviets and late war Germans acquired through the bazaar. Now to look for good painting recipes for them ::)

That's Saphon the Preacher. He's a Griffin character from Confrontation.

Not received,but just ordered box of fireforge Templar infantry and foot sergeants from firestorm games.
-
Brother Vinni nuclear sandlot Minis. A brotherhood laser rifle, Mr gusty, observer, wheeled security bot, 2 fallout 3 walking droids, a robo brain, and a set of helmet heads plus zombie heads.
I also got a bunch of awesomeness from Mason, including Mrs Baskerville and her doggies, one of his OW driver sets, his cricket bat gentleman, and some LAM zone survivors.
I've been a busy boy, more to come soon ;)

An old thunderbolt mountain troll, an old rap partha hydra and two wolves. They are in desperate need of a bath, and a little GS.

Maveryc orc legionaires

I haven't bought anything specific recently, but I did receive my Season 4 package of Dreadball (from the Xtreme Kickstarter) a few weeks ago. I'm most looking forward to painting the Martian team!
Unfortunately some of the items that were supposed to be included were not. It was a small number of things, but it's becoming more and more common with stuff from Mantic. It's quite disappointing, as I had no problems with my first Dreadball KS shipments, nor the first Deadzone shipment.
-
Got 7 buffaloe & 5 pack camels from sabersedge. Painted the buffaloe already, my herd is up to 32 now. Will take my time working on the camels. Kind of a side project thing to work on when I am bored with my top projects.
-
Got a package from North Star yesterday. It had my full order of Artizan miniatures, all of the Pathan tribes men, a full set of the Chasseurs d'Afrique, and a pack of NWF British officers. They all were very nice, except for a little breakage in one of the Pathan swords men packs.
-
Bidding on Warmaster stuff on ebay. Someone was selling high elves, listed as 'units', but the photos only showed one or two strips. I figured the seller was mistaken about what was a unit, or doing the usual OOP price-inflation, and that's why other bidders were staying away. But I went for them anyway. I bid on four auctions for what I thought were four strips of spearmen and one strip of archers, about £2.50-£3 each auction.
The strips arrived this morning. Turns out the seller did mean units, and I ended up with four complete examples of those for knock-down prices, rather than odd, expensive strips! (my WM HE were sparse on spearmen too, so this'll fill them out nicely)
-
My Wargods of Olympus Kickstarter miniatures arrived this week.Full set of the new Demi-Gods,Unit of Myceanean Peltasts,Unit of Myceanean Archers,Automatons set,Show special miniatures,Myceanean Command figures,KS exclusive pieces and a Trojan swordsman included extra.All great sculpts and amazing casting on them all too.
Also got some of the new Lucid Eye Simians and the Atlanteans too.Loving this new range.
-
My (very small) order from the Reaper Bones II Kickstarter arrived a couple weeks ago. Haven't cleaned up or painted anything yet but there's some fun stuff. When I first made the order I was thinking in terms of some warbands for fantasy skirmish; in the intervening time I've been sucked into Blood Bowl and realize I have conversion fodder for at least a couple of BB teams as well as fun random stuff.
Also got a small order in just last week from Eureka USA, mostly for their tachanka machinegun wagon, but I also picked up a few civilians and some other stuff, some of which will likely appear in LPL so I won't go into too much more detail!
-
Two shipments of figures for the Batman Miniature game arrived last week!
Single figure packs: Arkham City Batman, Robin, Catwoman, Black Canary, Batgirl, Huntress, Arkham Origins Deathstroke, objective markers, lamps/sewers, Arkham Harley Quinn, comic Ra's al Ghul, Nyssa al Ghul, Talia.
Crew starters: Bane (Arkham Origins), League of Assassins & Joker crew.
Two-figure packs: Joker clowns I, Joker clowns II, Joker clowns III, LoA ninja 2-pack.
-
Did a bit of retail therapy and melted the credit card somewhat. Got GURPS Steampunk set 1, the Gringo 40s Camaron set, 20 Victorian civilians from Old Glory and two sets of Pulp miniatures - all before the wife arrived with the rolling pin and ordered me to, "Step away from the computer!" :)
-
Just got 2 Old West collections from Foundry, both of the Mexican ones to go with my Maximillian figures I ordered from Gringo 40s.
-
28 BTD DAK, painted and based with a Pak 40 and crew. The Pak 40 needs some work as the shield is incorrectly attached.
-
Got some Hangar 18 Modern pin-ups (Bawidamann series) from a friend since he only wanted a couple from the kickstarter :
Dive Girl, Ranger and Death from Above
Also got the flying tiger and the Tiger Madchen bust.
Very crisp figures and I doubt I will ever do them justice :-I
-
Hasslefree : kev mystic warrior, smoking female pilot Victoria, shotgun country gal Marge, female head spruce and cloaked fantasy lady.
And some WotC sand people, 2 banthas, and a couple other aliens.
Cheers
Matt.
-
A few of Uneasibly Miniatures' Tuareg Camel Riders and a handful of their bretheren on foot. Excellent miniatures, although slighter than my Artizan figures.
-
lots of Zombies and survivors :D

Ebay again, proving the odd bargain can still be had, 3 Imperial Guard metal Regimental Advisors for less than the cost new. The Detol bath awaits.

They are getting stripped as I type this, I'm going to start painting them this afternoon

-
Mason's Armed Housewives. Great figures and potential.
-
A dozen or so of the new Eureka Yemeni tribesmen. These are designed for the Aden Insurgency, in particular the Radfan campaign and the later fighting in the interior. You could also use them as Royalists for the Yemeni Civil War (Egypt's Vietnam) and conceivably for earlier campaigns as they are mostly armed with SMLE rifles.
Seven figures in total all wearing shirts and the distinctive Yemeni kilt. most adorned with bandoliers and janbiya curved daggers. One with a Sten, one kneeling and firing an MG-34, a leader with a janbiya in one hand and rifle in the other and four riflemen. Lovely figures, Kosta has really caught the look of the Red Wolves.
If Kosta doesn't post some pics on his blogspot I'll take some snaps myself once I've primed them.
-
carlos, a quick pic would be great, as Kosta, talented as he is, can be a bit slow on the blog-update front. :D
-
I got a package of figures from Gringo 40s a couple of days ago. Very pleased with the service I got. All the figures were quite clean of any mold marks or flash. Very nice crisp figures mostly from his Maximillion in Mexico range. Plus the Dynamite gun from the Spanish/American war that I wanted for my VSF armies. Thanks Ged for creating a beautiful range of figures & such first class service.
-
5 WotC tusken raiders and 3 tuskens on banthas, plus a few other miscellaneous SW aliens. :D
-
...the flesh is weak...
Got an offer I could not refuse.

Got my order from Harwood Hobbies (which was a add-on-only purchase from their kickstarter).
The minis have a good size but are slimer than I thought (see them next to a Grenadier Fantasy Warriors Barbarian).
The arms and hands that need to be glued are really thin. I think I'll have to pin them (with a tiny tiny wire) or they're breaking off immediately.
The cultist leader is an impressive one piece cast.

Awaiting some stuff from Pendraken to supplement these.
-
Just got back from Enfilade. Bob Murch was there with some of his new figures & had a few packs for sale. I got the new Vallista pack, they're realy nice. I compared them with my Gringo40s Maximillian figure & the size up really well. No I am going to have to make another Gringo40s order & get his Vallistas to go with them.
-
I obviously have a problem. This month:
- my third shipment of Batman miniatures arrived (something like 30-ish figures all total)
- my Pulp City collector's pledge showed up (after sorting, I *believe* there is 120+ miniatures in that box...and a few are still to arrivel)
- my Guild Ball pledge landed (one of every figure available during the campaign in metal)
- my two sets of Tablescapes tiles finally FINALLY showed up (16 tile sets: clean city streets and ruined temple)
Very exciting but oh-so-daunting.
-
Three or four of the brand new Eureka Afghan civilians. It's a new range of ten.
-
Onslaught Minis 6mm Juno APCS (http://www.onslaughtmini.com/89-sisterhood-juno-apcs.html) and Atropos rocket tanks (http://www.onslaughtmini.com/91-sisterhood-atropos-rocket-tanks.html). Pretty nice, crisp casts with negligible print lines, except for the back end of one of the six hulls and a couple of track units where a few details like exhausts have gone a bit 'blobby'. Shouldn't be too hard to sharpen back up again.
Decent proxies for Space Marine rhinos and whirlwinds. Along with a few Steel Crown strip bases, this should be a new start to my Epic gaming, but with minimal Epic minis. Next stop Baccus, Microworld and Troublemaker.
-
Got the Pendraken part of my Xenomorphs couple of days ago:

Minifigs re-released Swamp Lords. Memory lane along with some new stuff that was never released back in the day.
-
Also some Minifigs stuff for me: The "Great War of the Worlds" Martian close combat troopers. The style of sculpting is slightly "soft" (as in, the opposite of crisp), but I love the overall aesthetic of these figures.
Also some of the Kai Lords from the "Joe Dever's Lone Wolf" range produced by Minifigs. Very nice sculpts, can't find any fault with them at all.
I'm wanting those Swamp Lords as well. They look quite similar to the Martians, actually.

I love those Martians. Hope they will be releasing more at some point but, as always, it depends on sales....I did a couple of blog entries with some background when they were released. They did base them on the Swamp Lords so it's a win win for me!

I'll take some comparison shots later today (I only have the Kai Lords, though, holding off on Giaks until there's more of them). I'll put them in a new thread in the Fantasy board in case they'll also be helpful to other people who might miss them in this thread. Besides, this range deserves more exposure.
My first impression upon receiving the figures was that they were quite sensibly scaled - not as oversized as is suggested by the fact they're marketed as 32mm. Just a first impression, though. Haven't compared them properly yet.
My main gripe with Minifigs is that they charge 25% shipping for all orders outside of the UK. A Scandinavian pays the same as a New Zealander. Admittedly that's not so bad when one is ordering their cheaper historical figures but with their more "premium-priced" fantasy figures it's a bit of a burden.
-
Two very welcome packs arrived today.
One was from R Squared Studio, containing minis from their Zombie Plague range - some authentically gangly teenage survivors and a "Dead Sexy" zombie I intend to fix up back into an actual living person.
(http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w519/SteveFlanaganUK2/Odds%20and%20Ends/RSquared_zpshezzo9j0.jpg) (http://s1079.photobucket.com/user/SteveFlanaganUK2/media/Odds%20and%20Ends/RSquared_zpshezzo9j0.jpg.html)
When I tried ordering these just over a week ago, I had trouble with the shopping cart. But R Squared is run by Roebeast45 of this very forum, who not only sorted it out, but added an extra mini to the package (with spare head and arm sprues), and propelled it across the Atlantic at high speed.
The other package was an order from Slap Miniatures, which I placed only 2 days ago. Again, service above and beyond from fellow LAFer Bergil, who located a particular Pewter Pony for me from what was supposed to be a random selection, and also threw in a bonus figure - a neat little pirate goblin, who doesn't seem to be on the website yet. The other figures were Slap's trio of not-Thimble Theater types.

My hat is off to each of you, gentlemen. If I had two hats on, I'd doff them both.

I love the R Squared miniatures, I didn't get the chainsaw wielder but I did pick up the others.

11 of Heresy's trenchcoat gangers. I'd ordered 10 but they generously threw in an 11th plus some weapon sprues. Now that's customer service :D
-
2 boxes of wargames factory Spanish succession ,for DM Cornish lamplighters ,
They was reduced on north star so bought them ,

Birthday week meant quite a few goodies for me.
I got a Northstar Grab Bag containing a random selection mainly ww2 models but also some British models, a naked bearded dude and a few others.
Also for flames of war
I have recived a few packs of ww2 british from peter pig.
and in the post to me is some Bofors self propelled anti air guns and some Ram Kangroo troop transports both in 15mm.
-
Surprised myself that the first box of Perry medieval plastic I bought would be for Warhammer. Well not quite: for southern rabble to flesh out the skirmish bands led by the Chaos champions and things I somehow accumulated. Only now I have them, despite knowing the size of Perry minis, they look tiny compared to the humongous, chunky warlords and barbars and things. I might have to take a leaf out of Heresy's Big Boris' book and say everything north of Kislev has a bit of ogre blood in them. That or snag a box of imperial militia or frostgrave plastics...
At least now I've got something that scales with the couple of Red Box minis I have.
The first dark elves for my dragon rampant force arrived too. 7 plastic cold one knights, cost me £7.50 on ebay. The bits needed to replace missing bits and bits liberally coated in styrene glue cost me £10. I think that's what they call false economy. :-I
-
Just received some of Masons' wonderful sculpts. Picked up his future scavengers some survivors, and the good doctor moriaty.
Should go well with the few spacelords I picked up in an antique shop.
Cheers

A section's worth of the lovely new Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders for Aden 1967 plus the brand new Afghan mule cart, the associated figures and a flock of goats and goatherd,all from Eureka.
-
Is the mule cart a new piece that does not appear on the web site? I'm close to submitting an order and that might have to be on it.

Yup, just cast this week, they haven't even finished the stowage for it. Not that I'm bothered, I'll make my own anyway. Should prove a jolly useful item in any number of settings. There's a goat cart being readied as well.

I picked up another half dozen SuperFigs, and some of the Reaper Bones gray alien packs a few weeks ago. When I was opening the Bones it seemed like the warriors and leaders were the same minis. I took one of them back to exchange it, but that too looked like the same set of minis. I ended up exchanging it for a Black Sun henchman or something instead.
I was tempted to pick up the flying saucer, but haven't convinced myself of the need for that just yet.
-
Now does anybody know how to paint these ??? ??? ???
I would start with this one:

-
what a downer, each package I opened was more disappointing than the last.
Scotia Grendel Fantasy Mini 25mm Halfling Homebodies Pack , very small.
Lance and Laser Dwarf World Dwarf Woman w/Basket Pack, Freaking Huge for a dwarf she is taller than my 28mm figures
Maow Fantasy Mini Kitty Chaperon, incredibly fragile.
Essex fantasy halflings, again tiny figures, and an ancient middle east leader mounted on camel, first off I did not know there was more than one pose so I ended up not with the one I wanted. Second, worst camel sculpt ever, I could lay it on it's side and it could pass for dead.
CP gladiators, really true 28mm scale so they won't work with my larger 28-30mm stuff, bright side some of the best separate sculpted helmets I've ever seen, and will work with larger conversions.
Oh well I've got some Otherworld and Boot Hill on the way.
-

could you post a picture of all of this I'd love to see them and they won't be on the Eureka site for a while.
-
Blimey, commiserations GG.
My own parcel was a bit more pleasant. Heroics and Ros 6mm colonial british infantry, lancers, and 12pd guns. That takes care of a company and a bit of Epic praetorian guard, a platoon of rough riders, and a platoon or most of a platoon of autocannon support. ;D
Despite much appreciated help in getting clear photos of these minis, I still wasn't too sure what exactly I'd get in the jiffy bag. I'm pretty happy though. As I was told, they don't go mad with detail (no sculpted faces - or attempts at sculpted faces -on these 6mms, for instance) but what is there is very cleanly and sharply sculpted. Just what I like in these tinier scales. I could say the same about the casting - on initial inspection it's very crisp and sharp, and I have trouble making out many mould lines, which is especially impressive at 6mm and some of the best I've seen at this scale.
Only complaint would be the lancers. The horses' flanks are a bit flat-looking in places, but I think I can remedy that with a fine file; and the lances are necessarily moulded to the side of the horses' necks and heads, which makes them curve round to the left. I think I can run a knife between, but either way it's no big deal. Really top notch merch. :)
-
I received not one but two bundles of goodies yesterday. The first was a very large box from Mantic that contained all of my Dungeon Saga toys. I was relatively miffed that I had to pay $25 to liberate it from DHL (they NEVER miss a chance to charge fees, whereas when Mantic shipped via Royal Mail it almost never happened). There was way more stuff in that box than I realized, and I'm truly looking forward to it, despite owning all of the Dwarf King's Hold games already.
The other was a box of essentially free Batman Miniatures. I see essentially, because I traded in my mouldering collection of Magic cards for store credit, and the shop owner was willing to order BMG stuff for me. It was a lovely pile of goodies too: safebox objectives, Titan Joker and Titan Clown, Asylum inmates booster 1, DKR, Frank Miller and 60s Batman figures, Speedy and the Ivy and Shiva starter boxes.
I am so enamoured by the Ivy starter that she is very likely going to vault over the three dozen-ish figures I already have in the queue to get built and painted.
Is there a squeee emoticon somewhere?

Ordered off artizan designs/northstar
Te Lawrence ,some cowboy /frontier characters and some ww2 Germans with machine guns
Going to use them for a sci fi wild west frontier type setting, the Germans machine guns will count as basic bolters/heavy stubbers, most people will have hand guns/shotguns and only hired guns will have the better weapons.
Think of logans world from rogue trader 40K.

Medieval Mayhem already shipping? Looking forward to mine. So far this month just a couple of old Acropolis Miniatures from the 80s plus an awful lump of lead from 'Shot tower Studios'...absolutely love it. Kind of a detail-less dwarf aviator! Liked the Acropolis goblins enough to order some of the recasts from The Baggage Train....very Cossack like.

Zizi: it does exist!
Me, some 6mm sci-fi beastmen from Microworld to go with me colonials, and some sentinel proxies. And a box of troopers and sweeties from Heresy.
-
@Dozing Dragon : I picked these up at their stand.
@Vermis : yes it does, and I've seen several guys picking up their pledge, Hopefully that shortens the list for all you guys still waiting :-I.
-
Took advantage of the Foundry Christmas discount offer and picked up the full set of Dark Judges and some second-string Strontium Dog characters from the 2000AD range.
Holy monkeys, I wish they'd done more in this line. Sculpting, casting, and customer service all crap on the Mongoose/Warlord products from a great height.
And even without the discount, single figures are a quid cheaper.
-
Picked up a very nice Trade Union Leader with shotgun from Reiver Castings newish alternative history range. Very well sculpted and full o potential!
Thanks

One £45 box of five Bretonnian questing knights off ebay, just to get the one I wanted to lead a Khornate warband. I guess there was a bit of panic buying going on there.
They can all make an elite riders unit in Dragon Rampant, though. And they're metal, mark you, and for the same price as the resin ones on the GW store. And came in a box that still had the £25 sticker on it. An 80% price rise, an extra £20, on GW's part, in... how many years? ;D
I think Fireforge - and their prices - will do fine to round out the retinue.
-
two figures from Black Chapel miniatures in Spain
nice warhammer fantasy style and they are made out of metal I was certain they were going to be resin
-
No one could have been more surprised than me to receive a Christmas voucher from Games Workshop ... So got a few of those Warhammer models I'd fancied but could not justify getting, including the Arachnarok Spider and the Goblin Big Boss on Gigantic Spider. As well as the Warriors of the Dead to use for Frostgrave. (Also included a hessian Christmas bag, but it smells so gross I had to put it outside!)
-
Got the Golem Arcana base game and two expansion sets at the weekend.Played three games with my son and daughter so far and we all like it.Really looking forward to getting more for this game.Not having a big rule book to check is a big bonus for me and the kids.Lots of different styles of play to the Golems too.Well worth checking out.Got mine in the Travellingman sale.
-
I received my final batch of Batman miniatures on Monday, ordered from MeepleMart during their Boxing Day sale. It included Arkham City Ivy, Swamp Thing, TV Arrow, Green Arrow, Killing Joke Joker, Mr Hammer, Joker's Daughter, Arrow and Batman markers, Joker Objectives, Hush, Killer Croc, Hugo Strange & Arkham Inmates plus a couple other things I can't recall at the moment. Once I build this batch of stuff I'll have acquired over 120 models for that range during 2015. Sadly I've only painted about 30 of them if you exclude the objectives and street scenery!
-
The 'baddies' from Crooked Dice, the 'Not Hershel' from Studio Miniatures and the hacienda from Sarissa. Not a bad haul! :)
-
A handful of the brand new Eureka 28mm late WW2 Red Army figures. I don't really game WW2 but I had to get some to paint up. These really are the dog's bollocks, put every other WW2 range I've seen in the shade. Casualty figures too.
-
Carlos, I didn't think you suffered from "Shiny" syndrome?! lol

Carlos, I didn't think you suffered from "Shiny" syndrome?! lol
Oh come on, who doesn't? :) I will confess to being something of a magpie.
I only went in to say Happy New Year and pick up some bits and bobs to convert into Yugoslav paratroopers and Romanians. In the excitement I quite forgot to pickup the Sagger misiles I wanted for my Gazelle. Grrr there's always another time I suppose. Trouble is that Nic will have cast up the machine gunners by then. These really are some of Kosta's very best work. Outstanding minis.
-
Whose isn't a Kosta fan? Completely understandable. Seems I need to get myself to Oakleigh.
-
A box of Stormcast Liberators. :o
Brilliant stuff from Triple Helix Wargames. Took a wee while for them to get through the holiday backlog, I imagine, but with a massive 25% discount on GW stuff, I got these and one of the stormcast upgrade packs for a bit less than the liberators box at the full £30.
-
After a game of AT-43 this week where my ONI destroyed a 3000pt squad of monkeys I ordered a resin copy of Lt Fortuna to complete my army. I've been working on creating custom zombies and ONI Korps human troopers, so once she arrives I'll just be left to finish painting and customizing. I think the army will total something around 4000 points when everything is finished.
-
A mint unreleased and extremely rare Panthor with skeletor from the shortlived OOP Masters of the Universe 28mm range from the 80s.
(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mnpARBNs-is/VqIdLoC7lqI/AAAAAAAACSQ/AnJqul4LmnE/s1600/FullSizeRender.jpg)
If all goes well, some more unreleased figures of this range should be coming my way. :D
-
I'm super envious. I ended up using a Horrorclix Sabretooth cat for my Panthor. He turned out nicely, but I'd have much rather had this one.
On a collection note, I received the big Heroclix Brainiac Skullship and 11 copies of another figure. The latter will be used to create my Flashback hero / henchmen which will finally let me finish my Omega Flight villain crew. Very excited to get to that in Q2 of this year!
-
Received a handful of 32mm Knuckleduster minis...the new digital sculpts are absolutely sublime from looking them over. Hope they paint up just as well..hugely impressed.
-
Found some old Mordheim minis on evil-bay: Witch Hunter and Marienburg warbands.
They Witch Hunters looked so cool but mine are just not coming out they way I had hoped. Too much brown on brown, which is realistic enough for leather armor, boots, and coats, but looks kinda boring to me.
-
Maybe add some grey and black to break it up?

Any chance of adding the pics to the unreleased MotU section of Lost minis please?

-
Of course, I also got the unreleased Evillyn rider figure and the talon fighter with a pilot Skeletor, but they are covered in badly applied and chipped paint, so I need to strip them first. My talon fighter is missing the gun that goes on the roof, but that appears to be the case with the one on the wiki as well.
Apparently there's also an unreleased attack track that I haven't found yet.
-
Just got some Pulp Miniatures Count Casimir minis and a pack of French Foreign Legion with melee weapons from Unfeasibly miniatures, both sets are very nice but at opposite ends of the spectrum in style, highly recommended.
Thanks

More toys from Knight Models showed up over the past week, largely thanks to Leon. This time is was my first batch of Marvel minis. These are all the older single-pack figures: Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Black Widow, Wolverine, Cyclops, Rocket and Punisher.
I'll be keeping the Avengers foursome to use for the new Marvel game (sadly the new Black Widow model looks way better). Wolverine will be going to a friend who only wants it for painting. Punisher will be set aside for possible use in the Spiderman Miniature Game, if I can get some of the other models direct from KM. Cyclops will hopefully become a different character through some sculpting and customization efforts. Rocket...I don't know, because I intend to buy the Guardians starter box at some point.
-
Set of four old Citadel 40K Zoats. God alone knows why as they won't be in the painting q for a long time :D
-
A jiffy bag from Bitzbox. I planned to replace big hands and fiery bows on high elf plastics with bows from wood elf glade riders and glade guard, so I was a little anxious to see those kits on GW's last chance to buy page, and already sold out. I snagged enough bows from Bitzbox (the only UK bits seller with any left) to sort out some planned Dragon Rampant scouts, but I'll have to think of something else for archers.
-
I just received my midlam miniatures fantasy minis : a few figures (sorcerers, barbarian, etc...) to complete my frostgrave warbands exclusively made of old school metal magic minis 8)
-
A Bolt Action Soviet WW2 army with anti tank and artillery support, 28mm and all painted.
-
2 sets of hybrorks totalling up to 8 genestealer-ork hybrids.
-
Boot Hill Santa Anna and Flunkey
Perry plastic British Light Dragoons.
World of Twilight Trader and laden dinos and an Empire Elder (I can't remember the names! Lovely minis)
-
Box of empire free company. So many stabby, hurty bits!
-
22 x 28mm Viet Cong including 2 LMGs and 2 RPGs, all nicely painted and topping up my NLF for future games.

-
Last gasp from Games Workshop -- Dwarf Miners. Just to fill a hole in my existing 8th edition army.
-
Warmaster! Nostalgia bit me.
Starter army, characters, gyrocopter, flame cannon, extra cannons (which it looks like I won't need...), a rule book.
Have to hunt down another blister of Warriors and maybe some Rangers.
-
Box of lovely gripping beast vikings
-
Warlord Games Wars of Religion armored swordsmen and Landsknecht Arquebusiers
-
24 mixed make Nap French infantry, painted and based in 6s to be rebased for SP2.
-
2 boxes from the Godslayer range.Banebrood Fomorian Guthackers and Mortan Princeptor.These are the first miniatures from the range and i quite like them.
-
Some Black Hat French Foreign Legionnaires that I picked up off a chap on this very forum -
(http://i1055.photobucket.com/albums/s505/rjoneslt1/C7ACB6E6-E561-4D27-BDDF-07D9E0669F83_zps0bkoe8qsX_zpsytwllgwx.jpg)
As you can see they are some great sculpts and have no flash and hardly any mould lines to bother about but they are true 28mm figures and a wee bit on the smallish side but will probably work alongside some Perry miniatures.
-
A Panther expansion for TANKS, after ordering a Panzer IV and a Cromwell. lol
-
Got some of the new pieces from the Gates of Antares range along with the new book and free miniature.
Some very nice looking miniatures due out too.
-
My knights from Oliver's last Kickstarter arrived today, exquisite, little gems.
-
I just received the latest figures for Imperial Assault, Obi Wan Kenobi, Greedo and the Inquisitor from the Rebels cartoon show.
I also got my very first Frostgrave blister pack, the barbarian and the thief and they look fantastic! The reaction I got when I got them out of the box brought me back 20 something years ago when I got my first Ral Partha Import blister: Noegu the Pit Fighter.
I think that if the other miniatures from this line look as good as these two I might be going down a very dangerous path.
-
I just got a big order in the post from Redoubt. @ £130 worth. Everything for the Zulu wars (British, that is; they won't be fighting any Zulus, not while there are aliens landing in flying saucers to repel) and a few bits from the Sudan range.
Am very pleased with them. Should be easy for me to paint. Some of the Zulu range character figures are 36mm tall in their helmets. I don't regret selling off all the Perry stuff which I ordered in a fit of summer madness .
-
About 200 Pulp Figures minis, mostly Japanese Marines, USMC, French Foreign Legion, and Tramp Steamer crew. I love these minis.

I love Pulp Figures too, but I got caught by UK customs the only time I ordered some which made them considerably more expensive!
-
24 mixed make Nap French infantry, painted and based in 6s to be rebased for SP2.
That's very interesting, why are they a mix of makes? You got them second hand from another gamer?
-
Yes, a mix of plastic makes - Victrix, WLG and maybe even some HAT. Yes, an Ebay purchase, now rebased and almost ready for my SP2 force.

Some Black Hat fantasy World War One Goblins and Halflings (from Scale Creep Miniatures, here in the States). Nice little sculpts. Good for Weird War 1 trench raids.

-
15 Chinese Tong figures from a LAF'er, I think 12 of them are the original Obelisk ones and 3 are Foundry Laundrymen.
-
Eureka's new Soviet Workers Militia/Partisans. I'm well known to be a huge fan of Kosta's work but these new sculpts are some of his very best. Really top notch sculpts. Eight poses in mixed civilian/ military kit with Soviet small arms. I understand there's another eight 'Factory Militia' due soon.
-
Halo Ground Command starter set plus Warthog,Storm Ghosts and UNC terrain set.
Also had the Burning of Prospero arrive Today ;).It is a great set too.

A whole bunch of Fubarnii and Casanii from World of Twilight.
They're excellent figures, heftier and more robust than I had expected.
I'm very pleased with the purchase.

An insane amount of miniatures via the long delayed Conan Boardgame Kickstarter.
Actually, I'm pretty impressed with the minis, even though they are plastic.
-
3 bases of Zombicide's Murder of Crows, destined to become deployment points for Sharp Practice 2.
-
The excellent Foundry Christmas miniatures. The Ghost of Christmas present is HUGE!
-
A bunch of Mierce people (not monsters). That resin is fun to work with.
And a bunch of WoT Fubarnii and Casanii. Brilliant, imaginative fantasy world!

Found Hydra Miniatures' Not Flash Gordon, Buster Gordy at a gaming store and bought a pack of Reaper Bones Khulati invaders for him to fight with. :)

-
I got the Dr Zardov robot from Bombshell, rather disappointed as it's much small than I figured it to be. :-[
-
Some really nice looking mutineer figures from....Mutineer Miniatures. lol
-
Warlord's Forlorn Hope musketeers box, two sprues of musket/pike/command, a couple of their hat sets, all in aid of my long-simmering ECW/TYW project, which has gotten a bit of a kick from the upcoming Pikemen's Lament rules from Osprey, which sound far more approachable and sane than the big-battle hundreds-of-figures FOG:R rules we've tried in the past.
-
Had quite a bit of the Halo Ground Command range arrive the past couple of weeks.
UNSC Scorpion tank,Recon squad and terrain pack.
Covenant Jackal Marksmen,Jackal Assault,Command group and terrain pack.
All very nice sets.

-
I placed an order directly to Caesar Miniatures and it got here super fast.
I stock up on the secret agent and handgun figures from the long discontinued SAS set.
Those two figures were packed one per box each in the set, but CM was selling them online in groups of five. Perfect to make mods or test paint schemes.
I also got their Eisenhower figure to use as a generic general.
-
Just got my order from Studio Miniatures' Monster Madness KS. Soooo much gorgeous stuff! Extremely happy with the resin cast of the Demon. When I saw the WIP of the detail on his head, I knew I needed that version. Only shortcoming is that both of the Killers' knives snapped off, though I'll fix that by pounding and shaping new ones out of brass rod. The Doctor's knife is almost there too, I'll see how strong it is when I get around to prepping it for painting. I did have that awkward moment of looking at a model and thinking "Why do I have this?" before checking my order form and realizing who it was and that I had in fact ordered it.

My 10mm fantasy project is officially up and running! My first order from Magister Militum arrived yesterday, enough High Elves to set me on my way to a nicely sized small scale Kings of War or Warmaster army, with more to arrive soon from Pendraken. I've been wanting to collect and paint a couple of massive armies for years but 28mm always seemed so daunting, so very happy that these have now arrived and I've been able to fit half an army into a Tupperware box while I decide how I want to paint them :D
Now I just need to stock up on a few paints I'll need and find the time to sit down and sort through everything so I can get started on painting the little blighters - and hope my eyes can adjust to painting such tiny folk!
-
The SAGA starter box from Gripping Beast arrived today. Saves the time of stripping and cleaning the "pre hiatus" models and gets me going again lol

Otherworld Gnoll Archers (http://otherworldminiatures.co.uk/shop/dungeon-monsters/dm5e-gnoll-archers-2/)and Shaman (http://otherworldminiatures.co.uk/shop/dungeon-monsters/dm5f-gnoll-shaman/)

Newline Designs Pict Cavalry 9 figure pack for £16.50 :o

Umran Kal of the Confrontation range, for 10€ (a ex-wife getting ride of junk from the ex-husband it seems, that's why I got it that cheap)

7 packs of 28mm Gorgon Studios FFL in Norway figures including a British Command pack and a Gebirgsjagers in Kreta pack. Very nice, not cheap but a niche group. Soon to be joined by an order from North Star of French motorcycles and motorcycle troops as a support unit as well as a WLG Chasseur Ardennais ATR (to do service as FFL support in Norway).
-
Three packs of the TARV miniatures, RN boarding party. Really lovely figures and they look like they'll be a good match size wise with my Eureka collection. Good service too. Quick turn around and the minis were well packaged.

I usually avoid GW, especially this new AoS stuff, but I couldn't resist:
- 7 Skeletons from Shadespire
- 5 Orc (Orruk?) Brutes (Nobs)
- 1 Orc leader, an exquisite model with a dinosaur skull on his shoulder (that I wish I could remove, actually, just to customize him a little more)
My 10 year old little girl named the orcs:
- Gronkus Kragnosis
- Toxo Kragnosis (like toxoplasmosis)
- Buttercup
- Cupcake
- Kitten
- Turdblossom
-
Just got my first 28mm Quar figures, all the way from France, great figures, love them!! :)
-
The Quar are fantastic!
The designer, Josh Qualtieri, lives nearby. Nice guy, clever and creative, too.
Did you have to mail order Quar from France? Zombie Smith is based in (or near) Oakland, California (near San Francisco). Might be easiest to order directly from Josh.

I have an order in with Josh for 2 15mm army starter packs, the 28mm lot were on ebay at a decent price and I couldn't resist!! They are great figures and I love the whole back story, really quite superb all round! :)

My 10 year old little girl named the orcs:

These names. They are the best names.
-
More Quar goodies, this time from Noble Knight in the U.S. Good price and quick delivery, well chuffed!!! ;D
-
Got some wonderful Delgon from World of Twilight. I LOVE that line!
Also, broke down and got a bunch of rebels and stormtroopers. Painting them up for my 6 year old little boy who loves Star Wars. Won't wear any other t-shirts.
Those orcs got renamed:
- Kragnosis
- Buttercup
- Joe-Bob
- Babycakes
- Senior Turdblossom von Poopy Butt
I liked the original ones but I told her she could name them so I guess she can rename them, too.

Couple of packs of skirmishers from Iron Duke :)
-
A box of VSF stuff from Ironclad - some Galvanic Cannons with their crews, a Dr Watson mini (I have a Holmes from some time ago that is without a partner) and the Evil Henchmen with Support Weapons who are destined to become Ruritanian Anarchists I think. No pics yet, sorry.

Two sets of the captivating Footsore Miniatures Shieldmaidens and one pack of the Viking Valkyrie figures.

This showed up in my mailbox today:

It's "Pablito" from Special Artizan Service Miniatures, sold through King's Hobbies and Games. (http://www.kingshobbiesandgames.com/28mm-Pablito-p/28mmpablito.htm)
Excuse the potato quality of the photo. My camera's battery is dead, the charger is missing, and all I've got is my cell phone.

12 Warlord Games British Peninsula Casualties, all painted and ready to base plus a recalcitrant Mule and Handler (with a brolly to whack it).

Artisan,assorted gunfighters from Northstar.

Ah, moab. So many fine gifts this year. I have added the following to my mountain:
10 mdf graves
7 dire avengers
3 necromunda people
2 frostgrave dudes (lich lord and large construct)
1 ad-on box of nemesis orphans
1 metal/plastic carnifex with some parts missing
1 fujimi russian tank destroyer
1 Val Partha Balrog
1 Ork dreadnought with bonus ork arm
1 mdf vending machine
1 reaper avatar of thoth
And finally...ex-manus studios' Risu - Wasteland Marksman. Quite the haul this year!
-
Uz and Uzko. ;D Orlanthi are going to have rough going, not to mention any possible Yelmalians.
-
Yet another splurge on Anvil and World of Twilight!
Got a complete set of Delgon, Engu, and Dhogu from World of Twilight. Highly recommend those delightful, whimsical minis.
And Anvil Industries has that incredible Regiments system. My son (age 6) and I had a blast concocting different PMC guys and a group of Stargate-esque guys with P90s and berets. Good daddy/son time. (He lined them up against his Legions stormtroopers - it's really cute.)
-
16 x 28mm Flossacke paddlers from Barrage Miniatures. Separate arms, weapons, oars and water bottles. Now to prime, assemble and base.
-
16! For Operation Sea Lion games?
-
No, to crew the Flossackes and other rubber duckies I have for France and Belgium 1940. Barrage do a very nice Flossacke and AnyScale do some nice Rubber Duckies in a bridging set.

Pre Brexit Panic Purchase!
#1 Hasslefree
I already have more "survivor" type figures than I'll ever need. However, I wanted that Kurt Russel lookalikes for a long time, they are just classic.
(https://www.witchfindergeneral.de/miniatures/pbpp_201904_hasslefree.jpg)
And while I was browsing the shop I saw "Rennie" and "Tilda" and I saw them maybe a dozen times before but I never before realizided that abvious reference to other gauls. I had to have them! I think "Tilda" should probably better be called "Alberta".
(https://www.witchfindergeneral.de/miniatures/pbpp_201905_hasslefree_rennietilda.jpg)
Also, I wanted the hazmat suit guys, because I wanted something along the line of those ex-Grenadier gasmasked troopers (which eventually came pre-primed).
(https://www.witchfindergeneral.de/miniatures/pbpp_201905_hasslefree_em4.jpg)
#2 Moonraker
Besides the troopers I already have some other of those old Kill Zone figures. But I was still missing a lot. So this lead me to a larger order at Moonraker, more than 50 minis, some of the nicest near future scifi minis you can get.
(https://www.witchfindergeneral.de/miniatures/pbpp_201904_moonraker.jpg)

Two teams of oxen and limbers from Empress miniatures for my ECW collection.

Some 28mm Quar figures, Toulmore starter pack and LMG team and some Crusader officers and sniper team. Super figures, really like them a lot. :)

I love the Quar. Fantastic idea.
I live near-ish to Josh and the Zombiesmith crew and was lucky enough to meet them. Fun, creative people.
-
Two figures from Hero Forge... turn out they cost me around 33$ (canadian $) each... BUT, they are really nice figures! lol
-
Some great stuff from Zombiesmith, including:
* Project AH! The Third, Bedlam Bunch
* Jaloof Starter Set, little space goblins, full of character
* Some utility robots, also full of personality
* The Hook, mysterious, whimsical, cartoonish little guys
I love Zombiesmith's "grimsical" style. Well done, Josh & Co! I hope my painting can do them justice.

I received my box of HeroClix minis yesterday. I ordered a bunch of civilian miniatures for use in (ultra)modern and/or (near) scifi settings.
They were cheap as chips; I bought 36 minis (2 are not in the picture) for just €22,- ! Meaning I paid about €0,60 a piece for them. They're all pre-painted, and need removing from their clicky bases, but with a little TLC, these will end up pretty nicely. For some I can get away with just a wash and some highlights, while others require a full paintjob.
I did the same with a batch of WotC bendy Star Wars minis, and the result is pretty solid.
So now I can populate the streets on my table with loads of hapless civilians getting caught in the crossfire. I reckon some will make pretty good objective miniatures too... :)
-
A wonderful batch from Lucid Eye's Ziggurat series :
- Son of Ares (fantastic hoplite sculpt)
- Sea People, including not-Goliath from the Bible, an excellent sculpt
- Amazons
After I made my order they released some more from these series! The artistry and quality are so nice that I simply "must" have them all...
Can't wait to see the Amazon leader (queen?) and more hoplites, if they make them.
Come to think of it, a Cerberus, Minotaur, Medusa, maybe some sirens or harpies... I bet Steve Saleh could do a great job with these ideas!
I'd love to see Hitities and proto-Persians, early Egyptians... this Ziggurat serious could be something incredible.
-
Box of Warlord ECW infantry, box of Perry Prussian infantry and a couple of packs of Blue Moon Marlburian 18mm range, 3 new projects!! :)
-
Some of the old OOP Grenadier 25mm Traveller miniatures: a box of the Imperial Marines (all 11 figures); some of the aliens (two Hivers, two K-Kree, two Vargr, four Aslan, two Droyne); some Travellers (two in space suits, the mercenary figure - firing same rifle as the Marines and wearing the same helmet - and three others). To my mind, some of the best "hard science" fiction figures ever produced.
-
This arrived a few weeks ago, to expand on my already more-than-complete collection!
I already have a couple of units painted up for these :) Pictures in the fantasy forum next week.,
(http://www.hourofwolves.org/images/unpainted/Battlemasters.jpg)

Some Battlestar Galactica minis from both starfightershipyards and Studio Bergstrom.
Casting quality varies a lot from ship-type to ship-type but, with a little x-acto and sanding work, they're great minis and I am delighted to have them.
-
Fish Lass Maria (& pesky kitties) and Skoggskattar from Bad Squiddo Games. Wonderful figures which I am looking forward to painting ...
-
Russian WW1 dismounted cavalry from Empress/Tsuba to add to my Russian army. Superb sculpts :)
-
8 giant spiders from Northstar :)
-
TAG Spanish Imperial pikemen - amazing detail and quality!

Northstar Ronin minis
Thought I'd give these a go,wish me luck ! :)

Got these from eBay for 10 € less each (including shipping) than their original price. ;D

Don't ask me what shipping container they dropped off though ... ???
-
12 German 28mm Motorcycle troopers (dismounted). No pics but they are 3D resin printed and most impressive. I can now make a couple of units for Chain of Command as support troops.
-
A couple of boxes of Perry ACW Cavalry.
Don't worry, I haven't gone historical, one box will have Pith Helmets on them before you can say "I say old bean, I'm quite sure that those chaps are wearing the wrong uniform for Telescopic Lancers during the Martian Insurgency!".
The next box, I'm not sure, I might run out of Pith Helmets. Honestly the second box was a bit of 'doing a Jollybob'. I have an idea of venturing into greenstuff territory... wish me luck.
-
Northstar's Bandit Buntai.
-
I picked up the first issue of that there Mortal Realms magazine. At six bucks for minis that would usually cost ninety five, I couldn't say no. The extra math rocks and other gubbins was just icing on the cake.
-
Thought we'd give these a go :)
-
Footsore minis, lovely sculpts :)
-
Got Jakkob Bugmansson XIV for Christmas. He's in sub assemblies and ready to be primed tomorrow.
-

Fantasy series one by Blacklist Games arrived today, and I have to say, I'm really impressed!
-
Technically a board game I received, Destinies by Lucky Duck games, but I was impressed by the miniatures, which are 15mm, although there are a couple of big uns including a huge 90mm tall Grim Reaper type
-
Got these for Yule

Nice! I didn't know there was a full set out of these.
And pretty cool they're actually Lovecraftian too; makes the entire story a lot more plausible all of a sudden :D ;)
-
Yes, Neverland is in fact an extension of the Dreamlands, and Captain Hook is an avatar of Nyarlathotep.
"Second star to the right"? More like "the stars are right"!

Came third in a painting contest. This bad boy was my prize: (https://www.globalgear.com.au/pub/media/catalog/product/cache/986518ed582236effaec676d22e0d241/W/Z/WZK90257--Dire-Troll.jpg)

A lot buy on Marktplaats (Dutch market site). I paid the asking price of €25,- for this and I'm well chuffed. The gargoyle alone is almost worth that amount!
The lot consists of:
Warmaster Battlemasters:
12 Barded horses
3 Horse tails
2 Knights
2 Halberdiers
2 Cannons with crew
10 Crossbowmen
19 Archers
4 Chaos knights
9 Chaos warriors
2 Beastmen
Warhammer:
6 Beastmen
13 Halberdiers
Hero Quest
23 Henchmen
8 Henchman Sword & shield
4 Henchman crossbow
5 Henchman two-handed sword
1 Hero Wizard
5 Chaos warriors
1 Gargoyle
1 Spare gargoyle head
Assorted bases, round, square and cavalry (but obviously not nearly enough for the lot)
I'm especially happy with the HQ Henchman weapons; my original copy misses a few by now, and the WHFB beastmen; I needed some more as conversion fodder into 40K abhumans and now I'm up to a full squad of 10!
And all the rest is welcome too and even though the Warmaster Battlemasters minis are a tad smaller than their WHFB cousins, I've still got the beginnings of a small Empire army with this lot and then quite a lot of chaos lads to faff around with too. Yeah; really happy with this aquisition :)
+++EDIT+++ Corrected a glaring misnomer there... :D
-
Good haul. I don’t think the figures labelled as Warmaster are Warmaster figures though. They look too big, and nearly all WM figures were cast in strips. But I don’t know what they are, they do look more like 15mm figures than 10mm ones.
The two small cannon do look very much like WM Dwarf cannons though.
-
Did I say Warmaster? I meant Battlemasters of course... ::) Oops... :D
-
Great Escape Games The Chicago Way figures - Moonshiners Gang Box. Already painted them - pics of some are up (and the others will be up shortly) on my Pulp thread - their first time to see the elephant will be in my Matewan Battel scenario from the West Virginia Coal Mine Wars.
Also got North Star's Indian Characters and Indian Warriors IV. Sadly, they ain't painted yet.....
Got all of the above from Badger Games here in the States.

A couple of days ago, I came across an auction/sale of this 'large collection' of Warzone miniatures on the local Dutch auction site. It stated the lot was too comprehensive to list completely, but it contained 'at least 100' miniatures.
A cursory glance at the pictures told me it was probably well above a hundred, and having become a bit of a sucker for all kinds of nineties miniatures, including Warzone, I decided to throw him a reasonable enough offer, which was still cheeky enough to satisfy the bargain hunter in me.
I offered him €400,-, knowing well enough that between €2,- and €2,50 per mini was a steal and he almost immediately accepted my offer. So the deal was struck.
He then sent me the lot, packed in three boxes, taped and strapped together to form one huge package, weighing in at a whopping 19.4 Kg!
It arrived today, and between errands and chores, I was able to unpack it all and do a preliminary headcount. And this came in ridiculously high at 417.
417!!
This comes down to €1,- per miniature, including the postage. And this is what the steal of the century looks like...
Of the 417, 116 are plastics, mostly from the core boxed set, and the Blood Berets and Fury of the Clansmen boxes. about 10 troopers were missing from the large box, and two from the Clansmen one, but that's just stating facts, and not a complaint.
Most of the unit boxes are filled with twice their original number of minis, and some also have champions added, so those are pretty much overfilled.
There's also a considerable amount of loose minis, not all of them Warzone. There's a squad of 40K Stormtroopers, a few Chronopia ones, a squad of VOID troopers, some Foundry futuristic gangers and assorted other stuff. Some very interesting, some pretty mundane (like a headless squad of Space Marines) but all very cheap of course.
Oh; and a pile of bits to complete some of the loose multipart minis, but some parts which obviously do not fit anywhere too, so they will go into the bits box eventually. Also; a Purple Shark hoverbike lacking its riders for some reason.
Then there are a couple of nice resin terrain pieces such as sandbags and portals.
There are a few Chronopia unit boxes, as well as a terrain box sans minis. As an aside, the Warzone terrain box was also missing its minis and also the cardboard terrain (but it did hold the headless Space Marines and a single D10).
So yeah; I'm really happy but also overwhelmed. Now I'll have to sort it all, decide which ones will stay and which ones will be moved on to new homes. Therefore, between this haul and the previous big lot last month, there should be quite some surplus, so expect a big sales thread later this year ;)
-
Nice haul, Daeothar!
Just got myself a Silver Bajonet Forest Witch, A Cult Magister from Shadowsomething from Northstar and 2 Osprey Judge Dredd Games. One og them being Helter Skelter, so with some Slaine, Judge Dredd and Strontium Dog models. Very curious if it's a bit of quality or just simple gaming pieces.
-
Its been a busy year for Scandinavian Kickstarters, and there is yet one more waiting to start.
In the back row, about 20 figures "Viking Saga" from Sally 4th. On the left, about 40 Vendel figures "The Tale of Beowulf" from Medbury Miniatures. On the right, about 120 figures from the Ragnarok 6 "Sons of Odin" by Colin Patten.
