There's No Justice, There's Just Us...

Grud!!
Couldn't resist posting a couple of pics of my mate Rob Affection's latest paint jobs on his Judge Dredd figures. Rob is hopefully planning to use these for a game at some point - I can't wait!

Judge Joe Dredd himself. He IS the Law. 

A patrol of Judges on the mean streets of the Mega City.

The first Dredd pic is from the Wargames Foundry 2000AD range. The second pic includes the Wargames Foundry Dredd, two from the Judge Dredd Miniatures Game by Mongoose Publishing and the last two by Heroclix.
I must say the Foundry range are excellent sculpts - really imposing chunky figures. Rob has a few more to paint of these but done an excellent job with them so far!

Two More Good Blogs!

Just come across another two really nice blogs with 'zombie' action -

Brains & Guts by Lord Siwoc and the 'Small Town USA' project by The Extraordinarii.

Nice stuff chaps! Particularly looking forward to seeing the development of Small Town!

Old Call of Cthulhu Miniatures...

Following my previous post regarding the old Call of Cthulhu minis by Grenadier it seems that Mirliton now do the old range under the heading Nightmares.

Could not resist ordering an 'Old One' and a pack of 'MiGo' and no doubt I will pick up some more via their UK distributor Vexillia Limited.

For Your Dice Only.

The most amazing scratchbuild I have seen! It inspired me to pick up the Crooked Dice 7TV rules after seeing it from the Salute 2011 Best Participation Game. Scratchbuilt by 'Overlord' - hats off to you sir!
I can only dream of having this kind of terrain for our games...
Longshot of the base.

'Evil Genius' lounge area - note the shark pool!

Traveller.

Whilst digging through some old boxes of minis I finally found my 15mm Traveller figures! They are pretty much all from the original Citadel boxed sets plus a few blister packs.

Group shot!

Some mixed robots and Vacc suited individuals.

A motley band of adventurers, thugs and citizens.

Some ships crew and a few marines in the background.

A few painted!

I still have the boxes for Set 1: Adventurers, Set 3: Ships Crew and Set 4: Civilians as below -




 A friend had the Set 2: Military and Set 5: Aliens and offered to sell tham to me many years ago. Wish I had now...



 There is a good guide on the Collecting Citadel Miniatures site.

Good news is you can still pick up many of the figures from RAFM and my mate Rob has literally tons of these as he prepares for a 15mm Sci-fi game he is setting up. Very tempted with those Vargr and Aslan though!

Cthulhu Rises!!

Dug out my old Call of Cthulhu miniatures, mainly by Grenadier but a few from an old range by - Metal Magic called "Dunwich Detectives". I have about 36 human figures from a wise old professor to a young flapper. There are quite a few superb sculps in among them and I particularly like the 'Dandy with Automatic.'

I also have a mixture of their 'monster' range including some nice Deep Ones and a rather scary Dark Young of Shub Niggurath.

Not sure about the Grenadier ones but you still seem to be able to get the Metal Magic ones em4 Miniatures - Dunwich Detectives.

I had painted most of them but the majority are not that well done to be honest! I took a few photos of some of the horrors though as they are a little more passable...

A Star Spawn of Cthulhu and some degenerate Deep One allies.

A Nightgaunt, a Ghoul and and a Yithian.

Two scheming Serpent Men and the wonderful Dark Young of Shub Niggurath.

A Byahkee, Mi-Go and rather sorry looking Hound of Tindalos.

Unfortunately I seem to have missed a few classics in this range, including a couple of Elder Things (would be really useful for my "Beyond the Mountains of Madness" game) a Nyarlathotep, a Tsathoggua and a Hunting Horror.
SAN Loss!! Elder Things!

Tsathoggua (or Salacious Crumb?)

Run away, it's Nyarlathotep!!

A Hunting Horror...
