Colonial Hover Truck

I picked this resin 15mm vehicle up so long ago I don't remember who made it, but I want to say it was Old Crow.

Anyway, it makes a perfect work truck for my DSG Colony-15 minis.  Yesterday I took an hour to paint it up, and weathered the crap out of it.  As a work vehicle, I feel like it would certainly be dirty and beaten, so that's what I did to it.

Check it out!

Another 15mm Alien

...from our friends at 15mm.co.uk, who else?  This guy reminds me of one of the many aliens from the second episode of the 9th Doctor Who (somebody help me out with his name).

Anyway, as with other offerings from the lads at 15mm.co.uk, he practically painted himself. Nice details and plenty of character!

DSG Colonist #3

I finished another Darkest Star Games Colony-15 figure--another ace character from the talented hands of Bob Naismith!

Check him out!

Yellow Robot

As promised, here is a yellow robot for my GZG scientist in yellow work fatigues. The mini comes courtesy of 15mm.co.uk--this is the robot I'm looking for!

GZG Civilian Scientist

I wanted to give the Wargames Foundry Lemon Yellow 3-step paint palette a try, so I dug out one of my GZG civilian scientist types and went to work.  Not long after that, I was quite pleased with the outcome!

Check him out!

DSG Colony-1 Female Colonist

The Darkest Star Games Colonists represent everything I love about the 15mm sci-fi renaissance we're currently enjoying--loads of character, great details, awesomely priced, and easy to paint.

Today I'm featuring a lass who might be the best figure in this 5-model pack of Colonists. Check her out!

Here with the 1st DSG Colonist I did.

Here with a RAFM explorer--a lovely couple!

More good stuff to come as I make my way through this excellent pack of sci-fi goodness!

Blasters & Bulkheads 2nd ed. Page Previews!

Joe D. has delivered some page shots of the B&B 2nd ed. layout, and I am very pleased! Our main goal with this version of B&B was a clean and readable layout that will print well in a black and white, and I think Joe's work is spot on here! Check out some of the pages!

At the rate we're going, we may see the book available on Lulu before month's end, and the PDF should be available around the same time.

Darkest Star Games Colonist Done!

I received my pre-order of Darkest Star Games excellent 15mm sci-fi Colonists from the aptly named Colony-15 range. I managed to get one painted up in between running errands on a nice day off of work. 

Here he is!

I'll try to get to at least one or two more of these this week. Bob Naismith has again turned in some cracking work on these figures.  They'll work wonderfully for any number of scenarios and RPG scenes, or as player characters themselves!

Villain Mission Force Followup

Following on the great success and fun I enjoyed running Giant Sized Villain Mission Force #1 last weekend, I have been re-working my charts and setup and thinking about running more regular games of VMF with my normal RPG group. Once we finish up the Shadowrun campaign (roughly two sessions remain) I plan to launch into semi-regular installments, time permitting.

In the meantime I have plenty of Heroclix to re-base and touch up.  Here's my latest handiwork: Bullseye!

Bullseye might be one of the best-sculpted Heroclix I've ever seen. He certainly required little to no paint work once he was re-based.

In between 15mm stuff, I'll feature more articles on y work and progress with VMF.  If folks are interested in my revised background and character generation charts, I can share those as well.  They can be adapted to any rules, but I will add another plug for BASH, my favorite set of superhero RPG rules.

Utility Bot

Another little gem from 15mm.co.uk, I think this robot will make a great Utility Bot for scuttling about a dig site or workshop and aiding his master in research or mechanical endeavors.

Check him out!

Goalsystem Delves Available At Cold Wars

I just wanted to let folks know that Goalsystem Delves will be available at the Old Glory booth at Cold Wars this weekend (March 7 - 10). J. Lee Howard has kindly consented to handle selling them for me at the show!  The show special on these is $35. 

Of course, if you or an agent cannot attend the show, you can still purchase PDF copies of the book through the normal channels:  Wargame Downloads and Saber's Edge.

Print books can be purchased online through the Noble Knight store. 

In other news, Joe D. is working through the layout on B&B 2nd ed. and I hope to have some page views this weekend.  Perhaps I can show some off if we reach that point. 

We shall see!

Another Weird Alien From 15mm.co,uk

Man, when it comes time to populate my crazy alien cantina, there is going to be a waiting list! The fine folks at 15mm.co.uk have provided me another great alien character! Check him out!

Thanks to his "hover-round" he can get anywhere!

I think I will go back in and add some color and details to the chair apparatus.

And there's more where this came from!

Giant-Sized Villain Mission Force #1

What do you get when you take The Trapster, Scorpion, and Boomerang, and send them on a mission to recover hidden Kree technology at Roswell, NM?  Why, Giant-Sized Villain Mission Force #1, of course!

Last night I was asked on very short notice to run an episode of VMF for Rico, Jeff, and Patrick (a very nice fellow from the company behind Mage Wars), so I busted out my BASH rules and threw something together.  And it worked!  We all had a blast!

The actual issue did not include Stilt-Man, but I could resist showing him!

Khurasan Defence Force Bolstered!

Added two more figures to my Defence Force Interdiction Team, a HW trooper and a kneeling trooper.

Here's the group!

15mm.co.uk Fat Alien

A lot of the 15mm sci-fi offerings from 15mm.co.uk can be a bit rough, but many possess a certain charm and utility that I have come to love. The Octopods I have recently been featuring come to mind. Today I've got a great alien to show off from this same company. He fairly oozes personality and I plan to use him as a crime boss or other important NPC.

I could certainly see this guy commanding a horde of alien thugs for sure!

Thanks for visiting!

Ok, Who Ordered The Squid, Again?

As I finished a fourth Octopod yesterday, I thought it might be cool to photograph them with my two other painted, squid/octopus headed 15mm figures.  So behold a sextet of squid-headed menace!

Unreleased Space Knight & OOP Ral Partha Mind Flayer.

 

Before folks start asking, I finally do have a plan afoot to get the above Space Knight and his human counterpart (pictured here) released. More on that as I can share it.
