Three cheers for the agents of the Crown (and Bert, of course).

Great success! Hopefully Dr. Jarse is not able to get away from the place he is destined to end up, in straight jacket, I presume. :D

He is doing well at the moment.
His luck may be due a turn for the worse soon though.

As the man himself says:

Phew! Got away with that one lol..........
....I have rode my luck in fine fashion the last few games, so I am intrigued to see what happens in scenario #5 in a fortnight's time.






Your AARs are fantastic. Tables are always very atmospheric.
A real pleasure to read and watch.

Thanks Treebeard!
I am glad that you enjoy them.





Yeah, it's quite the task to lug around a Hugh Jarse....

 lol
I have been waiting for that one!





Ask J-Lo!

Hmmmm......





HOORAY! The Forces of Truth, Justice, & Divine Entitlement have TRIUMPHED!...more or less!

That has become a major problem in professional sports over the last decade or so.

 lol
Bertie must also be due a Random Drugs Test soon, I guess.
 ;)

Thanks, einarolafson!
I am glad that they get your approval.
They are either Partizan show giveaways (those with clubs)




or Dixons Cops with slightly modified hats.

Thanks, Mathyoo!
And please do as I am most certainly stealing copying your Mojo idea!
 :D


Just opened a package that turned up today containing two more retro robots.
Retro both in the sense of style and date of casting as they are about 25 years old!
The biggest bonus is that I have been after these babies for years and always got outbid on ebay.
 :D
I guess they had better get finished before I do any other Lurkers......

But let's not forget I lost two expereinced agents right at the start of the Dossier! That wasn't exactly fortunate...

Enjoyed those AARs, and I'm sure I've said this before, a great inspiring thread in general.
He that trades Liberty for Security will soon find that he has neither.

It certainly was not planned like that.
It just happened that way and we had to discuss what should happen in that situation, where the Agents are trying to capture someone alive.
I will post the rules that we used when I post the rest of the details for the scenario.
They should prove interesting for some.

Fair point, mate.
Just thought it was fair to point out that you were a little fortunate with the Mad Scientist serum results.
Others may want to try these scenarios out and I think that it is only fair to warn that things may not go this smoothly for their teams.
 :)

I will try to post the full rules for scenario #4 as soon as possible.

Re: M.O.O.S.(E)- Ministry of Occult Studies (England) UD:20/05 The Crowman!

I only managed to get an hour or so over the weekend to get anything done so I decided on something simple that has needed doing for some time.

The Crowman has been on the 'to-do' list for some time.

He was given a very simple quick paint and wash job that I think suits the subject well. I think he has come out ok.



The Crowman.




The Crowman is the leader of the Scarecrows, his creations that he infuses with the Dark Magic of the land to create a sick parody of life.
He uses these creatures to enforce his will and aid him in whatever nefarious schemes that he has planned at the time.
He is also known to create larger Constructs and summon the creatures of the wild, such as rodents, which he warps into Giant Vermin, and bends to his will.
He is also known to summon other creatures from myth and fairytale, such as Boglins and Shamblers.

Armed with an archaic blunderbuss and dressed like a vagrant, in tatty, old fashioned clothes, wherever he is spotted angst and grief is soon to follow...

Painted in haste or not, that is a VERY COOL mini...VERY WELL DONE!
He reminds me of a disreputable Old Man I see in the mirror most mornings. Who makes the mini?

Cheers, mate.
We shall keep him in Blighty if we can.

I am not sure about the description, but I will have to take your word for it,

He is Bill Sykes from Foundry:









Love the Crowman!

Really ace job on that mini, big man. He looks, to me, to be a former chimney sweep who was fed up with a life of inhaling carcinogens. One morning, while in a boiler room, he had a vision of Cthulhu and ravens, and he became obsessed with both, believing that the cultivation of crows would darken the world in preparation for the Great Old One's return.

Or something like that.

In any event, great work, brother.
