Texicon is our only real miniatures convention locally and it is ramping up. I will be running games all weekend again, and this year most will be "Strange Aeons". I have created a folder to contain stuff for this convention.

So far, only a couple of hand out sheets, posters, fliers to "pimp" the game to the uninformed ~~victims~~ players.

Well...when stressed I do paint more...

Gotta love getting old in some respects. Having been through some 'crap'...you can generally find the "bright side" in any situation if you really look. I can make you laugh at yourself if nothing else.

I have a real problem with familiars too....and I'll be Damned if Uncle Mike did not 'rig' his game to where I love playing witchs...using the cauldron and yes...you get a crap load of familiars with a handful of witches at 3pts each.

An old succubus that I have had in my needing to paint bucket for over 30 years along with some GW walking books I got last week and did a repaint on and "Tiny", who I have no idea where he came from...if you know who made Tiny I would love to know as well. [yes...I saw and removed that pesky hair on the walking book...never see those until I photo them!

)

...And pair of "mechanical flies" I got at the same time as "Tiny" for practically nothing at a convention (fill a ziploc for 2 bucks...can't beat that with a stick!). I have no idea where these came from so if anyone knows spread the knowlege please.

Lastly we have another guy I got in the ziploc special Mushy who looks to me to be a GW figure, but I have no clue. NOW, the scroll caddy and the jester are Citadel pre GW 25mm (before 28mm existed!)

Nice one, mate.
Gotta love the 'fun' things in a Strange Aeons project.
I know that I did

Tiny, I think, is one of these fellas...

I have a pack of them that I have never gotten around to.....

hmmm..no. I do like those monkey men, but "Tiny" is about 1/2 that size (I can tell by the base on that monkey guy).

I think that the 'mechanical flies' may be the original, pewter GW Necron Scarabs, (which were called 'Tomb Spiders' at the time).

Grumbling Grognard · « **Reply #35 on:** April 11, 2016, 11:39:28 PM »

Thanks!

Yep, those are spot on... Spyders is what GW called them eh? Sure look more like a Flie to me.

edit: fwiw, it seems most people on ebay and the 'net call them scarabs. Not sure what GW called them when they came out, but they fit the bill now in size next to the current scarab so if you are looking for them, they are in ebay under that name (mixed in with the newer ones I like not at all).

Thanks again!

A few new pics added in the last week or so in the "Figures" sub-gallery, finally got my Wendigo on the table. Missing links are next (I think one brown and one white will do nicely):

With me finally able to get the exwife out of my house (...don't ask!), my life is starting to get to a more normal level now... And I have a huge load of "Summer Painting" to catch up on!

Posted a few pics of my 25 followers of "The Crimson Cowl".

Fun and quite easy to paint! Now on to rest of my cultists!

More can be seen in my gallery:

Hmmm.....gee....I cannot for the life of me remember. I have a load more of that "crap" to paint on my table now. Just getting started on these....but I think I will be a bit smarter and prime them in freaking red this time!

! One would think I would learn.

I have some fish-faced ones in civies too! Those will take a bit more care I think. BUT they are sweet!

New aquistions for arctic adventures (next of course)...

Reed · « **Reply #41 on:** July 31, 2016, 01:28:57 PM »

Some Elder Things would be a nice addition for that arctic (well, antarctic) expedition

I have one...but cannot find a pic of the repaint. I really like the plastics I have found and another is dirt cheap. Two is a hell of alot of nasty in SA. I have a few gug as well and a shoggoth and another to paint and even a Yithian. All are plastic re-paints and quite easy and cheap to get.

There is no lack of supernatural baddies. I think I need a few "natives" however. Maybe a polar bear...

Modified our custom items again a bit.

Long over-due "The Boys In Blue" have arrived. My all-purpose police force for pulpy gaming. These guys were orginally going to be a local, Threshold-type team for Strange Aeons...but lately I have been thinking more and more of making "The Boys In Blue" the cultists. ;-) But, we all know, they can and will be both.
