Herd of African Beasties Photos

[FifteensAway]

I've posted an album of photos I took yesterday - I was testing out my wild west table arrangement but I also put that part of my African animals I have painted (bases aren't done so I did some minor retouching to tone down the bases).  Photos can be seen at this link in the photos session in the Beasts and Wild West album.

I know, I know - post a picture here.  Would if I were up to speed on the process.

Enjoy.

The problem is you can't view the photos if you are not a member.

And some of us looking from work in our lunch hour are unable to see the other site as the firewall blocks it

Yeah, someone pointed that at the Old West section and I tried to find a way around that but don't see it - yet.  Also, tried a direct copy and paste of a photo and that didn't work either.  Got to find a way...

Just posted a link to your Old West thread as to how to upload photos to LAF.

After the beasties are some photos of a table set-up "dry run" for the wild west.

Hope you enjoy.

That is a LOT of beasts!!!
 

How do you use 'em (games wise)?
Are those 15 or 28mm?

Cheers!

A,

First the easy answer - they are 15 mm (or as close as I could get with non-hobby sources or allied like HAT plastic Jungle set for some animals).

Now, how do I use them?  Well, I've only recently finished them so they haven't been in a game yet but how I intend to use them is as a visual improvement but also as a "hazard" for armed forces or "civilians" - I like my games to be "in the world" rather than isolated battles.  They will also be the focus of a couple of other games - a hunting safari game for a more mature audience or as "targets" of a photo safari game for a more youthful audience, mom friendly games if you will.

And then there's this, I just get a kick out of having them - even if it means I'm put down as one of the hobbies eccentrics.  Hope that answers your question to your satisfaction.
