IHMN: Mole Men!
« on: 11 June 2013, 08:41:17 PM »
I haven't had a chance yet to use my Quar for gaming - I bought the figures just because they were cool and I wanted to paint them. With the create-your-own-company rules in IHMN, though, it seemed like a no-brainer to turn my Quar into Mole-Men, and use them to fight the Prussians and Scotland Yard. The clothing and weapons on the figures are perfect for the period, and I think they will fit in nicely.

You can see my army list here:

I like your template for your army list. Is that your own creation?

Oh very nice figures too!  ;)

Cheers

Crikey, sir. I'm looking forward to today. Up diddly up, down diddly
down, whoops, poop, twiddly dee - decent scrap with the fiendish Red

torture, escape, and then back home in time for tea and medals.

+1 on the list -very neat layout, and incredibly period in the feel of it. Well done!

And I like the mole men idea... I am currently developing a "bad guy" company of anarchists that live underground, called the Underminers.

The list is a Victorian death notice I found online, with a fair bit of photoshoppery applied to it. The original is here:

I have a lot of PS experience, and when you say "a fair bit" that's a bit of an understatement! Excellent work!

(May I borrow your list to use as a template for my own?)

Thats lovely and "in-period". I like it when people create background/fluff/personality for their armies. It makes it seem like you care ;)

Forgive my ignorance, but where are those Partisan Quar from?
They are lovely sculpts.

Brilliant work Cameron, and an inspired use of the magnificent Quar sculpts.
Kudos!
