A.R.C membership is growing



Guerilla reporting for duty! I'd seen the figure behind Guerilla on Westwinds website and decided that I'd have a look at it at Colours and once I saw it I knew I wanted it. HUGH!


Still only a 40mm base but he must be three times the mass of the Guerilla! Want will I use him for? Well I thought he might become an alternative to the Guerilla figure or a level 3 Supreme once some Hero design rules are released. A.R.C. are mising a Lvl 3 big hitter and this fella would seem to qualify!



I would challenge Urn to a game of Pulp City but he hasn't painted any of his figures yet......still.

This an appeal...

Please take the time to read all of this appeal. By the end of it, you just may just have changed somebody's life......
At this time of year, with Autumn closing in, there is a neglected species who can suffer greatly if attention is not paid to them. Yes, I speak of the Lesser Blogging Silver Fox (which may, or may not, look like the picture above).
The LBSF has kept this blog going through some tough times, including about 6 months ago when the only blog posts came from the LBSF and the blog was kept going almost single handedly.
And now? Nothing seen from the LBSF for a number of weeks, hence the appeal. So please, take the time to look behind your sheds, underneath leaf piles in your garden and in the middle of blackberry bushes to see if a LBSF has taken residence there. If one has, please coax them out with some bread soaked in milk and put them in a quiet spot in your house with a painting table, some shiny figures and access to the internet. Only then will the LBSF be coxed back into it's native habits of painting and blogging the results.
Please. Your help may be all that a LBSF near you needs.

Here come the girls!

I also got these two young ladies at the Colours Show to be civilians for Pulp City. They were from the Crooked Dice stand and are forr the 7TV game. They are lovely sculpts and whilst being sold under slightly different names they look strangely familiar. A certain Doctors companions perhaps?

So it has been a week and I have put together two buildings that I got at Colours and also painted seven figures. How you getting on Urn?


Urn? Any figures painted? ;-)

Look out for the civilians!


I picked up some civilians for Pulp City at the Colours show in Newbury. I saw them and they grabbed my eye because the sculpts have quite a lot of character for simple bystanders.



Anyhooo. Here are the first five.

JUNT is mad.



One of our followers on here is an old friend. He is mad. The photo is evidence enough as it depicts the first 19 of his buildings currently under construction.


Juntsville appears to be very close to the painting stage. This is good because I think some softly spoken gentlemen have turned up outside Junt's gaff with a sedative and a new long sleaved jacket for him!

Malifaux Scenery



Just a quick up date on my progress with my test house for Malifaux. Quite a simple one really but it has giving me the confidence to try adding extra details like loft windows etc on the next one.


The roof is time consuming but quite relaxing to do.



Just the windows to stick on and it will be ready to paint!

Another new gaming system? Yes please!

Quick update to show the Immortals that I got for the Hell Dorado game system at Colours. 10 figures for £15, as they were selling off the old French boxes so I decided that you couldn't really fall off!

Turns out the old boxes were set to be 200 points, which is the recommended size for the game, so looks like I'm all set and don't need to buy any more for it....... Reckon that'll stop me? ;)


Overall they're really nice little figures. True scale, so tiny little arms and hands which made some of the sticking fairly perilous, but hopefully the super glue will be super as pinning really wasn't an option for most of the joins.

Getting excited about buying these and sticking them together did mean the Pulp City heroes were put to one side, but I'll hopefully be going back to finish the first few of those this week, although I do now need to get some more of the GW wash now I got some good advice on doing the bases from Pulp Citizen.

The rulebook also looks very professional and with only 40 odd pages of actual rules, expect the Silverback and I to be getting in a game at some point.
