IronClad Miniatures Naval Brigade Boarding Party

[JollyBob]

The slow, steady slide into VSF continues inexorably. 

I finished these fellas the night before last, just had time to photograph them today. Hope you like them. Extra big thanks to everyone who posted on my thread regarding rank markings, I think I've got them sorted now.







Really nice minis to paint, these. And I only noticed after I'd finished that the guy with the helmet under his arm looks a dead ringer for the bloke from the Mighty Boosh. Hence he is now Warrant Officer Moon.

Cheers for looking!

lovely. i love those mini's. they are all beautifull sculpts and i assume paint up well. i really want the pistol armed armor guys for my old west.

[Svennn]

Great stuff JB. I had never envisaged these as naval myself so they came as a bit of a surprise. Wish I had succumb and bought some in York now.

Thanks very much guys!

Actually, I think they and their steam tank (on the paint desk now) will form the core of my exploration team for Stargate:1895.

Heck, if I keep it small, I might even finish this project! 

[Ray Rivers]

Smashing mini's!   

Stargate:1895.

Sounds like an extraordinary adventure!

Absolutely brilliant! Well done JB, I had another "laugh out loud" moment at that!

They are rather spiffing figures and I look forward to seeing them in action in a pukka VSF game report.

Nah, the eyes aren't tiny enough for him to be Moon. He'd be destroyed in a squinting contest...

Nifty stuff. 'Stargate: 1895’ has me very interested!

[fastolfrus]

Stargate:1895.

With Wargods of Aegyptus figures at the other side of the gate perhaps ?

[Chairface]

Love the landing party! Wasn't sure about them until I saw your version of them.

[argsilverson]

Wonderful!

Just wonderful!

[dodge]

was never really sure about these, but now I've ssen them painted they do look lovely.

[Trencher]

Simply superb! 
Excellent paintjob!

While seeing these, a conversion idea sprang into my mind...
Those helmets aren't my cup of tea, but with a simple headswap however...

[JollyBob]

Thanks again everyone.    Unfortunately the chances of using them in a game are slim, as I don't really know of any players round here (and the ones I do know are effin' goobers). They are more for my own amusement really.

Stargate:1895 will still feature the Goa'uld as bad guys (assuming my order of not-Jaffa'a from Sheild Wall ever actually turns up  ), its just that the gate was found a few years early by Her Imperial Majesty's forces in Egypt. General Gordon now commands the new Ministry of Interstellar Transport, Technology, Exploration and New Species (M.I.T.T.E.N.S.) facility under Salisbury Plain.

Lets see how those snake-eyed space Fuzzies like a taste of British pluck!

Lovely stuff JB. I've been trying to think up a colour scheme for my boarding party and by jove you've got it!

I'm in the same boat as you, no one around here plays VSF either so I have to save up my pennies and travel down to London to give Malamute a damn good thrashing................. and have a game or two.     

[Sterling Moose]

Thunderchicken,
You're very welcome to come here to game.  Just had the extension fitted on the table - 5' x 8' now.  All I need is a gamer or two to come round and help me use it!!
