I like the Rasputin fig. I'm tempted to make a mad monks unit with the west wind mad monks blister. Perhaps led by that Rasputin mini you have and a gun-toting monk from the WWW2 range at Amazon miniatures.

The queen looks good too. Are the colours based on British redcoat uniform then? Very nice touch!  :)

Not sure I get the reference (if there is one) for the cat, but I'd assume it is black cat bases. I have a Cat'thulu...

I have several cats painted up which are usually lurking around in our games and at some point I wanted a winged cat, like I have some winged monkeys and it got painted the same time as Rasputin, so he got it as a pet, it will probably have small or non influence on the game/rules.

The Queens dress is not directly based on red coats, but I wanted more colout on mine than I have seen on many copies here, most people paint her in dark blue og black colours.

So I searched google to see if there were pictures of any paintings in colours and I found that there is most pictures where she wears red colours, so that is why I decided to go with that, but I do think she will look good together with the rest of the troops too.

Somebody asked to see a better/larger picture of the Gorilla Highlanders:



At the same time I would like to mention, that we (Random Encounters) are working on a homepage which is collecting images of our miniatures, not only VSF but of all the different games we play.

I just updated it today with pictures of most of my British VSF army.

Please take a look, any comment or suggestions are welcome.

They are from Eureka's Pax Limpopo range.

I love the creativity of your units. Especially the background for the gorillas and I really like the Prussian Jaeger with the electric rifle thingies!!!

Great closeups, added them to favourites.  :D

Haha that's nice. I hope to redo the Prussian section (and get those eyes painting on the Jägers) so it'll be up to Jonas' standard.

It's cool if you resurrect your own thread  ;)

Love the gorillas and I wish I'd got hold of a Bill when I had the chance. I got two Britannias and Santas, but no Bill Sykes :'(

Please keep doing your necromancy!

I think Bill Sykes is available at Wargames Foundry now, but probably pretty expensive.

I hope to have new to show in this thread soon too, but will probably concentrate on the Subterranean Game for Horisont.

Maybe there will be time for both.

Yes, he probably is and yes, you're probably right about the price  :(

I went through a phase of getting a lot of these models as freebies - including some very useful ones like Moriarty and Colonel Moran, Queen Vic and her companions etc.  Oh well, he might turn up cheap somewhere.

Both threads are great, so I don't mind seeing either updated  :D
