Threshold team
« on: March 25, 2011, 11:23:49 AM »
Some pics of my two man Threshold team. I thought it would be cool to have a character with a Long Bow from the weapons list in Shocking Tales #1 and from this developed the character Nagaski Jones. Dr Jones is a converted Black Hat samurai and Mr Boone is a Copplestone Hillybilly.




Character: Dr Nagasaki Jones


Eccentric Professor of Archeology and Folklore, dedicated practitioner of both Kendo and Kyudo, Dr Jones never enters the field without his antique samurai armour, katana and bow.
Skills: Command, Parry
Equipment: Katana (Civil War Saber), Long Bow, Metal Point Arrows, Light Armour



Agent: Mr Clement Boone


Appalachian mountain man Clem was a loner who came to the attention of the Threshold when a local newspaper reported a story about Clems bizarre ravings about "flying space crabs" which he said had been harrassing him for months during the winter of 1929. Clem is currently the only member of Threshold to have actual first hand knowledge of the mysterious alien race Mi-go. :)

Skills: Dex increase
Equipment: Bolt action rifle, Hollow point bullets, Wood axe (meat cleaver).

Great painting/conversion as usual. Also, a great idea! You will have to keep us posted on how long they survive.  :)

What a tremendously crazy off the wall idea which you have pulled off in spades. My favourite post in ages, thank you.

Great stuff and a nice idea.
The paint job is amazing indeed especially Clems face. He has got the gaze of a man, that under no circumstances never ever should have become knowledge about the invention of fireweapons :D
The odoshi of the do is also well done.

thumbs up !
