tomb guards and camels

-



recently got myself a pack of tomb guards from Reaper Miniatures,
to add more characters for my Pharaoh's legion.
only got one pack which has four miniatures but just two poses.
so i'm happy with that.

this collection of mummies and mummified characters just keeps
getting bigger and bigger and that's okay.



and also got a few camels for what could be scatter terrain.
these camels are equipped with baggage on them.
could use them as objectives or just part of the scenery.

i am not a fan of Reaper Miniatures Bones figure line,
got some miniatures that were bent and tried to get them back
into shape but with no results.
i try to stay away from Bones but i couldn't help myself with these and had to get a few.


members of the Knights of the Crescent Moon out on patrol,
watching with a keen eye for any wrong doing in the country side.


the Black Scorpion and few members of the Thousand Sons,
waiting on each other to report on the whereabouts of the infamous plane
the "Screaming Rooster" and it's pilot, Garrett Cunningham.

    Early Bones were a lot worse, they've improved dramatically over the past couple years. Older Bones sculpts though, are still only available in the older iterations of the Bones material. Holding them in hot water to soften the material, straightening the bent part and then submerging it in ice water to set the material can help sometimes.

      yeah i've tried that. for some reason i can't get it to work. idk.
      the camels were bent at the knees, so i took a lighter and heated them for a few secs and held them in place how i wanted them and that worked.
      last year i bought a Dark Young miniature and damn that was warped all hell, couldn't fix it if i tried.

operation MotU: wave 2

  continuing with the Masters of the Universe figures from CMON with wave two. wave two consists of Man-E-Faces, Ram Man, Evil-Lyn, Faker, Trap Jaw, Tri-Klops, Panthor. for a change of pace i ended up painting a few hover robots since i have a decent amount of them and they were not part of the original toy-line. Heroic Warriors Man-E-Faces is a member of the Heroic Warriors, notable by his distinctive appearance, with his large, blue metal head on which his faces appear in its screen-like opening. His ability is to change his face from his regular human face to that of a robot and a monster. Ram Man is a member of the Heroic Warriors, characterized by his bulky, spring-legged appearance and flat-topped metal helmet. His special ability is to knock opponents or obstacles down with his super-hard helmet. Evil-Lyn attempts to cast a spell at Teela. Evil Warriors Evil-Lyn is an evil witch who aids Skeletor as his second-in-command with her powers of darkness. She is vastly more intelligen

Recovering Artifacts

 today is my girlfriend's birthday. and so i thought it would be nice to host a game to where she and her boys would team up and play as a recovering team that landed on a deserted ship to find artifacts. four teams of three would scour the ship for these items. each item recovered is worth victory points, but the main victory is to survive and escape the ship with the artifacts. i used a modified version of Fistful of Lead for a rule set. with all the excitement and having too much fun and didn't think of taking a lot of pics. but with what pics that were taken, they were taken by Rita, i think she does a better job at it than me. the recovering teams arrive on a elevator. i wanted to have these teams to find the artifacts but have some kind of a resistance. i used the game mechanic of blip markers from the Space Hulk game. i did this because of the shock factor it produces when revealed how many aliens are incoming and the faces of Rita's boys' faces is priceless.

beginning of a boomtown

 been wanting to do a wild west table for a few years now and now i'm finally getting around to do it. i ordered several buildings on Amazon from Atomic Laser Cut Designs. i reckon over time i'll get more to create a small town that will cover at least 4x4 gaming space. i was excited to share my first building i completed this evening which is a saloon. hopefully by the end of the month i'll have the rest done and a battle report or two posted. a show down outside a saloon. easy assembly even without instructions. first set of buildings i had built. i didn't know what color or how to go about painting a wild west building. so i figured my first building should be at least an easy one. i watered down some Apple Barrel acrylic paint, added some black to the and did the doorway and window frames.   same thing for the billboard, watered down some green and black for the lettering.  " you cheated me, you son of a bitch! "
