Thanks. I just bought and downloaded the rules. They seem pretty good to me keeping the good things of the SoBH engine and carefully adding kaiju-specific parts.

And while I went through the rules, I did do another quick painting of a toy...a golden dragon from the stars.the paintjob was ultra easy, gold for the scales, yellow for the wings a couple of shades, drybrush, details.

And a scale shot with all my repainted 3“ kaijus. I kinda like the view!



A nice array!

What is the name of the one on the right as he is the one that I think I may have a use for?

You mean the turtle walking on two legs that is able to spit energy bolts and turn those legs into rocket-style engines?  o_o :D lol

It or he (or she?) is called Gamera. There are actually three pretty good movies made in the 90s which are really good but not as well known as they deserve to be in the west!

Is it Gamera?

Yes indeed! An Atlantean Kaiju-Cyborg that defends our world against giant predator birds from outer pace, incredibly large burrowing brood-mothers and teenage girls mutated into tentacle monsters!

OK, then......
 o_o o_o o_o

Thanks for that.

Incidentally, I have just had a very quick look on ebay and the ones that are on there are going for ludicrous prices.
Are these the same thing?
What should I be looking for?

I checked for gashapon-sized kaijus. You need to be patient and compare different sellers.
Many sellers in the US nowadays have crazy prices. I was kinda shocked, when last Xmas I wanted to make myself a present and found out that many of the gashapons I had purchased for €5-10 now were rather €20 or more.

Some good offers can sometimes be found at Amazon, or with auctions. You really have to look for those. Many gashapons or larger kaiju toys simply don’t sell for the prices demanded for them by fanboys and special shops for fanboys.

I got many of my models from a German guy, sometimes for €1 or €2 because I was basically the only one interested. If you can manage to get a few for that price, I was always willing to buy the whole lot to safe on postage.

Another hint is to look for unspecific terms like Godzilla model, Godzilla toy or simply Godzilla in category toys & models at ebay. Thereby you’ll often find real treasures. If I find some, I add them to this thread.

Sorry for the apparent thread necromancy, but while suffering from Corona I had to spend some time at home, and after a while was able to scrummage around my man cave.
After some time admiring my kaiju collection, I spent some time working on a long cherished project:

a Kaiju tabletop.

I was lucky to get two very cheap sets of Monopoly City which have been used to produce the terrain. The models are okayish, but for what I need more than suited. I’ll post some comparisons with my kaiju models in the next days.

Here is a wip: about a third of my houses have been glued to bases, basecoated and drybrushed with gray and white. Details soon to come.

And here are some scale shots. The models are spot on imo. Suitable to make the monsters appear huge and dangerous - much better than the Monsterpocalypse one which often have far too large doors and windows to look like skyscrapers.
Since they are toys, the level of details in limited (bit impressive for pure boardgame pieces), and best of all, they’re all one piece castings, quick and simple.

A repost from my old 15mm SF collection with a game of Space Marines vs Genestealer Cult.

The Imperial outpost 4209 nicknamed „Gottes Tod“ was rated high priority by Imperial calculi logi mentats. A squad of space marines was detached to rally the defenders in the middle of a planetwide uprising.

The monument within imperial outpost 4209 „Gottes Tod“ must not fall to the enemy. Hold out at all costs!

The battle is raging. A single orgus flyer has been identified as the only means of escape left for high rank personal.

Insurgent cultists of the „Church of the Last Days and the everlasting Mercy of the Four-armed Messiah“ prepare to charge the front gate of imperial outpost 4209 „Gottes Tod“.

Coven limousine transporting a special guest to the front!

Two huge Genestealer broodlords accompany the patriarch. Any attack on him is foolish!

My command group for the „Church of the Last Days and the everlasting Mercy of the Four-armed Messiah“. It consists on a privately commissioned patriarch and two modern Genestealer familiars-excellent size for huge 15mm monstrosities!
