And there goes the neighborhood!  :D
They look great.

Many thanks, commissarmoody.

I have set up the scenery for Jhamjarhistan. The village on the left is Gummibad (where the missionaries are), in the centre is the archaeological dig site (Lemmers, Streppers and Bunty Hamster-Crust, Vagger’s heart-throb) by the old watch tower and top right is where the Emir of Jhamjarhistan hangs out in Djelibad. This is just a set-up for photos, the real game will be on a bigger table later in the year.


Jhamjarhistan

Also, a Cheka unit for the Bolo player. They will be no good for fighting but ideal for torture and execution of prisoners! I sent this photo to Doug (who is playing Trotsky in the game) and this is his reply:

"They are certainly the boys to send tremors of terror through all counter-revolutionaries, traitors, imperialists, priests, revanchists, social-democrats and similar offal and pig-dung. The People’s Revolution is well guarded by such heroes."

Of course, they arrive on site singing their traditional Cheka anthem:

Meet the Cheka ’cause the boys are here —
The boys to persecute you.
With torture and slaughter to help you on your way —
To raising the rafters with a hey-hey-hey!
With knives and skewers and whips old and new —
With us about you won’t feel blue!

So meet the Cheka ’cause the boys are here —
The boys to persecute you!
B – O,  B – O – Y – S, boys to persecute you!

Lovely-boys, lovely-boys those Cheka.  :D

They are certainly nefarious looking.

Very nice terrain too.

Thanks, trev. One of them reminds me of ZZ Top though!

I can't take the credit for that terrain. That's all the work of Silent Invader, I am merely the proud owner!

"Eclectic (c)lot" would be an apt soubriquet for the Mad Lord himself  :D

His Lordship's motorised column is a thing of joy - the old boy has excelled himself with this one....

I hope that you will be able to provide a music video for the Cheka boys song!

Perhaps the players will have a go at a video whilst we are playing? Could be horrendous!

No idea how the M-PMPU (Much Piddling Mobile Pasty Unit) got to Djelibad?

The arrival of the M-PMPU is a surprise, albeit a very welcome. Some more imaginative and spiffing groups on show here.

They are great. And it’s a great honour (for them - to be my bodyguard :) ).

Can’t wait to get them into action.
