Title: Venture Bros Suggestions Requested!
Post by: MrHarold on 24 August 2010, 07:48:25 PM
Hello All,

I don't know why it hasn't dawned on me before, but after watching an episode of Venture Bros. last night I realized that it would be perfect for gaming...

I have Savage Tales, would that be the best rule system?

How about miniatures? I love my Pulp Figures, but are there any suggestions for villains, henchmen, and good guys?

I think both the 'modern' era (with Dr. Rusty Venture) and the 'original' era (with Dr. Jonas Venture) would be great fun, even the Victorian era Dr. Venture (with very steampunk Victorian stuff...)

Anyways, I'm looking forward to hearing what you fine folks think!

Thanks
Harold

Zombiesmith Miniatures makes a set of "not-Venture Brothers" figures, as seen here:

Here is Zombie smiths attimpte to make some Venture brothers.

My gaming group was commenting on this last week actually and we are busying looking for some way to convert the Monarch and his minions.

I wish I could sculpt.  I wanted to do this for a while.  That not-Brock Samson, just doesn't capture his Swedish, mulleted glory.

I was planning to replace not-Brock's chainsaw with a large combat knife from a GW catachans sprue.

Sorry, went for not exact but some greenstuff might help. Didn't need anyone coming after me.

Absolutely... i think they are very cool figures... but it's also good that you've made them where you can easily replace the chainsaw...satisfies both camps I think....

so when will we see more? ;)

It's easy enough to fix...

While we're chatting so pleasantly, I thought that people might like to see the scratch-built H.e.l.p.e.r that I was working on a while back:

(http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u219/Heldrak/Work%20In%20Progress%20Photos/Team%20Venture%20-%20WIP/IMG_0001-4.jpg)

Eventually I shelved it because the scale was too large and I was having problems with the arms and with getting a smooth enough finish. I started the torso for a smaller H.e.l.p.e.r Mk II but that has been on hold for a while too.

Beautiful conversions.  Is Molotova a converted Heroclix Black Widow?

As noted in the entry thread (and her own thread here on LAF), The Molotov figure is an unconverted Reaper Chronoscope not-Black Widow "Natalia".

Thanks for the info.  Sorry, I hadn't read the entry thread.  I know, heresy.
