Two days ago we started a little .45-adventure game settled in egypt 1921.
As it was my first .45A-pulp game I ligthened up the original rules, so it was more comfortable to play.
I had a lot of fun for we played three runs. The first one was a little...uhm...short because of the dice which casted a little bit unusual; maximal number seemed to be 4 all the time :-I
The next two runs went well-balanced and ended up in a total massacre :P
all tomb rai...uhm...archaeologists died.....muhahahahar

Fantastic stuff there old boy. Where are the buildings from?
-
Yes, amazing playing table. :-*
And the skeletons are still one of the best boxes ever produced by GW. I love the little buggers.
-
I love the scaffolding. Very nice.
And yeah, I have about 40 of those plastic skellies lying about. One day I shall finish getting them all prepared and really drive some players crazy!
And I am curious what you did to lighten the rules? I have done somethings when running games as well at conventions.

walls are made with Hirstsarts moulds. They have an Egyptian range, very interesting stuff and you can make want you want with it.

woowww nice terrain and figures!!!!!!! :-*
-
Great terrain, the scaffolding is genius. :)
-
Why, oh, why does Hirstart have to be so expensive??? :'(
So many nice things I could do with them.
-
Lovely looking game.
Speaking as an ex-archaeologist I have to say that all looks pretty damn accurate
-
Absolutely brilliant well done
great photo's
sad about the aechaeologists though

So we'd love to hear your stories of skeletons... ;)

LOL!! Excavating them, or running away from them? I slept in a room full of cremation urns still filled with their occupants - very good nights sleep with few ill-effects!

Great looking Hirst Arts setup, and the scaffolding is very cool. Looks like you had a good night's worth of gaming with some fine miniatures and terrain.

Nice work. Some of those pictures really tell a story. Great job overall. Thanks for sharing some very good ideas.

Very nice work!

But not too bad if you are in a club and can share the price of moulds, but they are well worth it. There are only a few of the Egyptian ones though.

Thank you all for your kind critiques !
Yes, all buildings - except the 3 small Mastabas, which are made from polystyrene - are made from Hirst Arts Stones.
The GW skeletons slumbered for several years in a box and were recently "excavated" by accident...looking back it was hell of a luck they did not attack ME !! ;) But indeed, they were one of the better GW Minis.
And for future projects it is good to know, that there is an authority for excavations in our rank...so I must double my strenght on accuracy. And by the way Mad Carew: I think the next survey will lead my little adventurers to a deep dark jungle and I got that certain feeling they will meet some "bone-boy" ...and again these guys won´t lie asleep in their graves ;)

WOW :-* :-*
Missed this one before.
Lovely stuff. The scenery is outstanding. Some great detail. :o
How long did it take you to make the Hirst arts stuff?
How easy is it to make stuff from the moulds?
I have some linka moulds but they are a pain in the neck. You end up spending ages moulding stuff for it all to break when you are getting it out the mould. Good for ruins but not much else.

@operator5
We restricted the available attributes down to 5, made a general movement of 5/10" and limited the rules for ranged and closed combat. It was littl easier to play for beginners, but I think it would take away much of the fun for experienced players
@ Gamer mac
The casting is time-consuming. If you like to build a greater scene it would be needful to make your on mold with pre-assembled walls etc.
As I casted the overall of the stuff casually over nearly 2 years it was´nt that "painful" ;) but to cast the number of sphinx (you only got one per mold) took some hours.
One cast needs approximately 15 minutes.
The casted stuff fits well and needs rarely a finishing.
Since I use dental plaster the chance to get broken parts is nearly zero.
