Stunning, absoloutely stunning! I truly love it, I wish I was there to be a nuisance!

Could you tell me where the automata and big walkers are from in this pic:

I'd love to get some...  :)

Rob,

As Mors has said, the large walkers are a McDonalds kids toy from the Incredibles promotion - Syndrome



The ones in the photo have been dis-assembled and put back with the ball upside down to leave the hole at the bottom.

The smaller automatons are 'Whirling Golems' from the Mage Knight range - they have had a few arms repositioned and been repainted, but apart from that they are as they come.
Photos of my recent efforts are at www.littleleadmen.com and https://beaverlickfalls.blogspot.com

How can you trust the word of anyone who employs such sneaky things as spy's.
Its all balderdash I tell you. The pictures must be fakes (even though they are stunningly good fakes) ;)

Well, they look excellent.
I am really considering VSF, I have done for a long time now. All I need is a little push in that direction.
I'll see what happens at Salute and WMMS. :)

WHAT THE DUCE! SPIES INFLITRATING THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS! WHATEVER NEXT!  ITS ALL BALDERDASH AND POPPYCOCK I SAY......

Recent rumours have suggested that Quatermain and The Admiral Lord Ivor Mough D'Ivor were not killed as reported by the foreign devils,  We will of course report the true facts to the British public as soon as we have them.

Lovely set of photos Dr De'Ath, I particularly like the sailor waving to the camera lol

You say that a lot better, sounds right with the proper accent. With my Glaswegian accent it just didn't sound right lol
(And before anyone else starts getting cheeky. I do say the words aloud when I am reading. Gets me some strange looks when I am at work ;))

I knew I had seen those walkers somewhere before!

This Atlantean campaign is great fun, I'm really enjoying seeing it develop.

Unfortunately, the Naval Expedition under the command of Sir Robert deJolly KLM DSO (fake) and bar (bill) was confined to port following an outbreak of Dhoby's Itch and was unable to provide assistance to Admiral Mough-D'Ivor.

Which all makes Bob a very jealous boy.

Lovely pictures Dr De'Ath, and a great report.

Perhaps if the campaign is still underway in October there will be a chance for reinforcements to arrive...  :)

October might be pushing it a bit mate, I could well have died of information overload by then! Unless (Orc is struck by cunning thought) I can hand it all on to someone else and go and live in the quiet somewhere, probably on an island somewhere... hmm, Atlantis looks good this time of year...  ;D

I'll keep it going as long as I can still see, and anyone cares; beyond that, I'm not promising anything!

Yeah, I thought I might be out of luck there.  lol

Never mind. That means in true colonial style I can wait till the shooting's over, waltz in while everybody is licking their wounds and declare myself the ruler of Atlantis!  :D

Dr D never lets us down with his alternative pictures. Great stuff!

Rob, Ironclad will be at WMMS. Have a drool at their goodies and have a chat with the owner John while you're at it, he's a nice guy. I'll be going along as it's my local show.
Don't!
