DAM IT!!!....They're both REALLY good!! 8) 8) 8)

"Pulp Girl springs her trap, knowing the bats will attack all those who offer violence near the sacred statue."
I'm very impressed by both entries.
-
That shows how stupid I am!! I never even noticed the bats!! ::)
-
Well, I like pulp a notch better than supers, but other than that it's another draw. This round is really good so far.
-
Maybe it's not the Jade skull at all that she's after but rather the Maltese Falcon...
-
Where's the chap with the Maltese Falcon from?
-
Two great stories told here. :)
-
Luv your scene Dr. Mathias. Great story!!
-
They are both excellent. Who makes the supers?

He's in the Vile Villains pack from the Nightmares range, formerly by Grenadier. I'm not sure but they may be available from Mirliton now. I don't think he's all that rare as I have two now, and found the second the first time I popped on eBay to look. The bats are from the same range.
Pulp Girl is from Pulp Alley and/or Statuesque (she's an awesome sculpt, the best digital to metal transition I've seen to date) and the Botocudo are the last of my Amazon Indian stash from Copplestone Castings. The jaguar head I picked up on vacation in either Mexico or Belize, I was on the lookout for things like that and brought back a bunch of little figurines :)
Luv your scene Dr. Mathias. Great story!!
Thank you sir, your painting is great as usual. The ribbing on Constrictor and the rippled muscles on the big guy are particularly well handled.
-
Thanks for that Dr! And what a fantastically eclectic selection of pulp goodness! Just stunning! :D
-
I really like your treatment on the Botocudo. I've painted up several of them over the years but I really like your take on them. They are also much more "modest" than the versions I have...excellent work on the loincloths. ;)

Last year my immodest Botocudo were beaten and I didn't want to risk that again lol
-
It's never pleasant to have your Botocudo beaten. That's why I always cover mine up. lol
Although some people quite like it… :o

Gourds are the answer ;)

Hi Elk101, the supers are all plastic Heroquest miniatures that i bought cheap on ebay. I cannot remember the names of most of them as i only know the names of the more well known comic heroes.
I chose all of these figures as they fitted in with a pulp 1930s/40s skirmish project i am working on where french and german superheroes and special military units are spying on each other and fighting a secret war leading up to WW2. I decided to follow a colour scheme with blue for the french heroes and red for the germans.
Some of the figures are closer to 32mm than 28mm but as they are heroes it does not bother me too much.
-
Have not been on LAF LPL for a few days and just realised that the Dr is really beating me to pulp here!! (get it?!? pulp! lol)
As the timeline fits with Pulp Girl and 1930s superheroes, i will have to arrange a game with the Dr sometime where my supers knock the crap out of her and eat her bats for breakfast. :D
SoBaH variant "Flying Lead" would be suitable.
Seriously though, as i am in Germany and the Dr in Kansas we would have to try something new. 2 identical tables in USA and Europe playing with a webcam connection. We would have to be real relaxed and trusting about measuring distances etc and keep the game real simple but it would be fun to try out.
Has this been done before? I know its not new for boardgames like chess where its works well with movement squares but for a tabletop wargame its more difficult.

Thanks! I'd taken a guess that they were Heroclix after looking at your main thread but initially didn't realise. That's a testament to your painting skills!

Sounds interesting, mirroring a small table might be a fun challenge :)

A Grenadier figure from way back, I have one I used for a Call of Cthulhu campaign once upon a time.... ....they all went quite mad of course.....
