Don's Back of Beyond

[Mike Blake]

Might I suggest the new Farc cry? it's pretty much set in ''Not-Nepal'' so there's plenty of gorgeous levels/scenery to take inspiration from.

Kommando  J - sorry, I don't follow? Is this a website, a range of figures, a set of rules??? Is there a link?

Thanks

It's a videogame

Ah - I don't do video games but I know someone who does. I ask him, about it.

Thanks

Okay, here are the next minis...

First some painted matchlockmen from Tibet.



And the way they use their "bayonets"...



And the first Red Spears.



Next stuff is on the painting board...

Cheers,
Don

Double posting...

My BoB will not be strictly historical correct...

The tibetans will get a deamon, wich the buddhist monks can call...

Based on the actual thing,, erm wich should be more black, but thats too dark for me...




Its made from a fat plastic buddha from an asia shop. Costed an euro or so. The head is from the old gw giant by the perrys...




Cheers,
Don

This is awesome. I'm starting to think those Fire Forge Steppe Warriors are a converters dream. We will be doing some straight Back of Beyond gaming but I've been thinking about using A Fistful of Kung Fu or Pulp Alley with the same models for some Pulpy side plots. The temple is great--I'm jealous!

@axabrax
Cool ideas...
Pulp gaming is on my list too...

Okay, here are some WIPs, of my styro buildings...

I  builded a few small dwellings that are some what tibet like...

Not too big, but enough for some cover and an objctive marker...



Took me around 2 hours to get the first stage.



and as an old transport gamer I alsways watch, that I get my scenery in some kind of box...



Hopefully I will get the buildings done next week...

Cheers,
Don

Some very cool looking items and figures. Well painted. They should be  lot of fun to use in your games. Thanks for sharing.

This is shaping up into a fantastic project.  I thought the Copplestone Chinese Warlord force was great, but then you topped it with the Tibetans.

Ah, I didn't see the second page when I posted. It's even better!

Thanx very much everyone...

Here are a few more WIPs of the houses...

First I added some filler and sand. Then I covered the windows and door with balsawood...



Before panting I collected some small branches in the backyard to add it to the roofs. The tibatans store their fire wood there...



...and all the buildings in the box.



In the next step I will try to paint the walls a little bit more white to get more contrats in the buildings...

Cheers,
Don
