Latest mini received

[Musketeer]

I've just got hold of the new HMG teams for GB's Turks and a Battalion of GWM late war Germans. I just need to take a month off now so I can paint them!

Received my Zombies and survivors from Griffin.

Also 10 Griffin Grey Aliens which are about to become available again (According to Mark).

[Poiter50]

I think I have 8-10 of those that I picked up in a bulk deal, happy to swap for something WW1 British Tropical.

7 Foundry old west zombies from Ebay.

Forwarned by a thread here a few days ago that Foundry had cut the pack to 6 I jumped on these.

Lots of figures from Bronze Age Miniatures that I'm going to use primarily as people of the Hyborian Age: Vikings which I'll use as red-haired Vanir (they have a wilder look than the Foundry Vikings that I'm using as blonde Aesir, which gives a nice contrast); Some Dead Earth adventurers which I'll use as pit fighters; Some other figures from sundry ranges which'll likewise become pit fighters, plus an adventurer or two; Finally, one of their harem sets, which are good value for money ($12 for 8 figures) and are almost obligatory for a setting like the Hyborian Age.

Too bad my paints are elsewhere right now.

28mm Bronze Age Harem? I can't see that on their site?

They're under "Dead Earth Imperials" in the Sci-fi range, there are two different packs. They're semi-nude and mostly in reclining poses. So basically, similar to the Hasslefree harem women, but WAY cheaper. The sculpting style is different, but not of worse quality than Hasslefree.

A platoon you say,, oh am i interested now

[Poiter50]

Ah, now I see, I have some of those, they are very nice. So far, they have only seen an undercoat, I might try to convince one of our better painters to do them justice.

My pal brought me back some Britannia Napoleonic Brit and French naval officers from Historicon. I was a bit leery of them from the pics on their site, but it looks like only Britannia and Steve barber make anything like them in 28mm I have to say I am quite happy with the raw castings. I hope to have them leading daring shore parties in Sharpe practice games soon!

[Le matou rouge]

I had a kind of lead fury this month - maybe to balance the real life foly..

So it began with a very nice lot of Old West Townies from a very smooth transaction with Skrapwelder via le Bazar : Thanks Mike !




Then I recieved an Old RAFM order : I waited two months, one of the blisters was the wrong one, but Brock from RAFM was nice.




I wanted the Moonbeast since I saw here the one painted by FatGoblin  and idem for the Steve Dean's Giant Snake.
And I would like to test the FIW range to accompany my Conquest stuff : they are really on the small side, the figs are full of flash but I love them (pretty old school look !)

Then I tried the North Star Services to get at last "This Very Ground" I fancy for a long time.And on impulse, I ordered the two anarchists : very nice figs ( the mexican had a BAR !)




And finally, because of Mancha , I was lucky to get one of the lasts Cossacks from the CMON deal and even more lucky to recieve them in 5 days !



Now, I promise myself to post only something painted next...

meow,
Matt

PS : It was the first time I get minis in blisters, and as I found them pretty nice, I tried to share them...
