the safe hΘle

going into Historicon 2025 i had a very small grocery list of what i really wanted and what i needed. and as usual i did spend a little too much than i was budgeting but hell don't we all go a little overboard from time to time. got Rita a box of soldiers for her spanish pirate hunters. probably going to mix the sailor plastic bits with this set for the swords and pistols. found this fellow in a miscellaneous figure dump bin. saw him and thought this would be a perfect figure for a half-ogre we created in our D&D story. Zug-Zug, the friendly half-ogre that works in a tavern and is half intelligent, at least enough to add simple numbers and pour ale.  i saw this, the package said "demonic goat" and i bought it. enough said. another idol of Cthulhu. you can never have enough statues of the Elder Ones! Rita got me this because she knew i wanted to redo or even add more to my pulp collection, also they have german shepards. haha. now i can add dogs to my pulp games. more ...

recently i got into the game The Silver Bayonet, a tabletop skirmish game based during the npoleonic war era with a dash of horror themes. and the way it looks like the go to box was the Bbitish rifles from Wargames Atlantic. and as i seen many base them off the british tv show Sharpe. and just like most i also did for my first unit for the Silver Bayonet game. i created a unit of five riflemen and Lt.

Sounded like someone was crying." Lt. Sharpe. i was worried on how the sword was hanging from his waist. but then i saw an episode of Sharpe and saw his sword was just swaying all over the place as he was walking or even running so i didn't think much of it there after. "Stay alert, never know what is going to appear. a ghoul...

 continuing this week of diving into Sliver Bayonet game the other day i received a box of british riflemen from Wargames Atlantic. i guess like everyone else i wanted to make a unit of riflemen that is featured in the british television show, Sharpe. along with these i have also a box of french infantry and an order of creatures and monsters for Silver Bayonet still to be delivered. but i also got some more figures painted from Historicon the other week and others that were lying around gathering dust. even though i can only use so many out of this set, maybe i'll make some zombies or revenants with them. the french infantry plastic set that is on it's way i plan on making maybe 10-15 undead soldiers from that box.  a ghoul from the Wizkids Frameworks minature line. this particular fellow is a character who was killed in our Dungeons and Dragons campaign that somehow cheated death. can't wait to drop this ghoul on the unsuspecting party.  a vampire lord from Next Level M...
