Here are my IHMN Adventuring Companies, now that we've had some nice weather to photograph with :D
I'd take credit but most of these figures (okay, all but the cowboys) were painted for me by Chillwind.
First up we have Lord Curr and his Incorrigibles.

I was talking to someone the otheday about uses for the dock board and I pointed out that it would also pass for the same thing on the US East. To which end..

:o :o :o
Bloody hell!
They are amazing!
:-*
Whilst they are all excellent, the Tong stand out with that stunning freehand work.
The Dragon Lady is on another level.
:-* :-*
You had to slip that wonderful walker of yours in, didnt you?
Most appreciated as there is a great shot of the windows, which I have to blatantly copy at some point.
Cheers!
:D

Bloody lovely. I've ordered the book now and all this eye candy is getting me really excited about its arrival mid-week at some point. :D

No problem, it was surprisingly easy to do :)
The walkers have seen usage in several forces now but was always intended to be American. I think it's probably a Hotchkiss design, initially designed and marketed in the US but they saw no need for it until they realised the rest of the world were buying dozens of them and maybe that need does exist after all....
-
Amazing, simply stunning!
-
We don't say 'bloody' a lot in the US, but work like this certains encourages it. I'll be showing images of the lady to the fellow who painted mine for my Tong.
Cruel, as his work was a bit of rush for me, but I CAN be that cruel. lol
Jealous of the lot! Not sure if 'Chillwind' is for hire, but will say either money WELL spent, or, aren't we lucky to have such friends? :o

Nice work Dean. I particularly like the 'native' element of the cowboys.
-
Wow, lovely!!
What is that Spider Tank Thing?
-
Lovely stuff :-* :-* :-*
-
Some great work there..............but more amazing than that is the fact that you can afford two of the 4Ground Warehouses!!!!
-
Wow. That's all I can say.
-
Cracking brushwork, especially the Dragon Lady. :-*
I must pick up some these figures at some point ;)
-
Yep, lovely :-* :-* The Dragon Lady is a real standout

Rich (Chillwind is his name on here, but doesn't post that often) did these for the Salute game. I got him a pass and paid for his hotel, plus he
gets to show off the figures :) He should have the police and the limited characters done for BLAM. He was thinking of hiring out his brush but found he's just not strict enough with his time to make it viable.

You've seen the board thread right? There are advantages to doing the 'official' demo games for IHMN, such as getting figures and some terrain pieces at trade prices or perhaps free :)
What is that Spider Tank Thing?
There are a couple of threads devoted to them on here but I can't find them right now. Here's a link to the pics though, there are more further down the page.

Well done Lord Dewbakuk and Sir Richard Chillwind, well done indeed!
I expect that you are looking forwards to the Western companies in HVF? The walker would not look out of place in The Industrialists.
I know everyone was ogling the figures, but did any of you notice the close-up shots of the incredible cobblestones?
-

Phil and I share similar interests when it comes to the West, so yes, I can do some of them rather easily ;)
I'll need to tweak a couple of things though :D
-
Exceptional work sir! :D Very nice indeed.
I do think the 'flagstone' bases detract from the figures a bit though.
-
Stunning all of them the wild west unit i amazing work but all the paint work is the best i have seen in a very long time
-
Time to get your sculpts cast out!
-

They aren't my favourite but they'll fit in better on the street board which has grey cobbles.
Time to get your sculpts cast out!
Yeah, should probably look into that again.

With Dewbakuk's permission I have uploaded all 18 of these lovely pictures to the IHMN blog in The Imperial Collection section.
Btw, what is BLAM?

Wow, everything looks great. I'm especially envious of your Americans... I just painted up a bunch of Black Scorpions for the same intended purpose, and they don't look anywhere as good. Out of curiosity, what manufacturer are those minis? I could use some reinforcements... lol
-
The cowboys are all Artizan designs aside from the woman with the rifle held up. She's an old Deadlands figure. Black Scorpion figs are definitely on the large size though so basing will effect how they mix. The Prof has a site showing them together which used to be linked on the left but isn't there anymore....

OMG, Charles lives not far from there! Are you guys going down to run a IHMN display or just attending?
-
BLAM is a private event, although pretty easy to get on the guest list ;)
I'll be there, (not sure about any of the others yet) and due to popular request, I'll be running IHMN on one of the days. It's much more of a friends gathering though, so several games can be played while drinking beer and chatting in a pleasant manner rather than shouting and sweating in a show hall somewhere.
-
I'm hoping to have a company or three ready for BLAM :)

What he said.:)
Is that a custom built walker or does someone sell it. Beautiful work.
Don't worry just read where in the thread. :D
-
Those Tong are something else! Lovely collection all round.
-
Beautiful - the Dragon Lady is a master peice - any idea what the Chinese symbols say on the back of her fan?
-
Chillwind says he thinks it says 'dragon'.
-
Very fine :-*
-
...
Btw, what is BLAM?
I quite admire these; same thing as the GZGECC. Alas, have never made one of those, and I'm a HUGE Full Thrust Fanboy.
As North America has a number of fans here, but is geographically challenged by size, I shall cogitate on possible ALArM, with 'regional' as a conceit.
I know Recruits in KC,MO(met) will have a fair LAF presence.
Then, Dewback, we're back to 'aren't we lucky to have such friends?' ;)

I'd be luckier if it didn't take a decade to get things back ;)
