Title: League of Automatons
Post by: Supercollider on July 01, 2015, 01:21:33 AM
I've recently started trying out the Pulp Alley rules and thought I'd post a pic of one of the leagues I've put together.

<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/15220207@N06/19121846770" title="League 1 by adeselrec, on Flickr"><img src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/263/19121846770_8048503bd9_c.jpg" width="800" height="439" alt="League 1">[/url]

It's inspired by of one of the leagues posted over in the Pulp forum by d phipps:

Connie is the leader, a shooter and commander, Blyde is an ally and fills the role of the 'muscle'.  The dog is a follower.  The big crab automatons are blasters/shooters, the bipeds are brawlers - all are allies. I'm using the repainted risk pieces as mini clockwork 'assassin bots' - bonus gadgets that sometimes figure in a game.  No sidekicks in this league atm, though I may try abd reconfigure it at some point.

OHMYGOSH!  :o

SO well done!

I've never imagined the Risk folk so appropriately used. Never have I seen simple bottle caps so well played!

Just gobsmacked.

Needs some IHMN cards!

I think I've used my allotment of exclamation points.

I recognize the Connie figure from the Lead Adventure Bonnie and Clyde pack. Where is the Blyde figure from?

WOW! Beautiful work. Great idea for a Pulp Alley league.  :-* :-*

Do you have a Pulp Alley roster put together or are you putting them on cards?

Thanks all - it's fun looking through your minis (and lead pile!) to see what sort og leagues you can make - I like that aspect of PA.

Wolf Girl: This is the roster I made - I'm still learning the oddities (but goodities!) of the rules, so I might've got a couple of things wrong.  The league performs well (and is fun to use!), but I might rejig the list to make Blyde a sidekick -providing a little more oomph and staying power!

On the one hand, I want to congratulate you for having such a well painted and constructed crew. On the other hand, I want to reach through the internet and punch you for giving me ideas! Nice work!

Excellent job!  I really like the repurposed Risk pieces.

I've just gotten started on Pulp Alley, but we're also using it for more of a VSF setting at the moment.  I also like the "let's see what's in the lead pile" aspect of league building.

Very nice paint-jobs, and great scratch-builds on the robots!
