In general I feel we have too much moola.

Moola posted:

this is also fine

some people don't have as much moola and want to make their model collection stretch further

That's OK, it just looks terrible. At that point you may as well play with bits of cardboard with 'Elf Spearmen' written on them.

Unit fillers are cool and good so long as they're done well. When I saw undead armies with graveyards as unit fillers I always thought that was really neat, and that Empire Ogre unit filler sounds dope.

Historicals players are always a step away from playing papercut anyways. You'd be surprised at willingness to play games with colored blocks of wood.

Historicals: not even once.

That's because the number of tiny minis you need to have to actually play most historicals is ridiculous. When I think about the amount of time it would take me to paint up enough tiny mans to run even a medium level ACW engagement, it makes me all :negative:

I am literally planning to do this - my Goblin archers are going to have a barricade fence hidden by the tall grass I base my Ogres with at the front of their tray, with 3 crudely painted cutouts of Ogre Warriors nailed to the fence to scare enemies off, while they have a campfire and a keg open at the back, 11 Gobbos for a nominal 20 gobbo unit.

Awesome! What are these sculpts from? They seem to be based on the Eastman and Laird Turtles more than the cartoon ones. Or actually more in-line with the recent NECA TMNT action figures.

To me it looks more like a cat got it's head stuck in the top half of a power armour suit and it's panicking.

They are old Ral Partha/Dark Horse minis. There was a pretty big selection of them. I have the Turtles with laser weapons, shredder, mousers, Casey Jones, a Tricereton and few other minis. They are pretty sweet. The Groo minis are good too.

I've got mine in a box somewhere, though I remember something being broken... maybe a sai? I had the Triceretons, Casey Jones, and some Mousers, too. I almost had an aneurysm when I saw blisters of these guys on the shelf at the hobby store.

They're pretty small, 1/72 scale, so that's a factor in the detail as well.

In todays Episode of "IT CAME FROM FACEBOOK!" We'll be taking a look at the Drop Predator, made by Mr. hawkes.

Mr. Hawkes says this about his creation:


Facebook posted:

I'm going to say it's "Finished" for now (The modelling), turned out alright considering I have never used plasticard before. I mean, it HAS been out fighting for a good 1000 years so it will have some crude "repairs"... The whole concept behind it is essentially a "Drop Predator". It would be dropped from orbit - using thrusters to manoeuvre/slow down - then the giant shock absorbers in the feet would lessen the impact. Then it would go and BURN SOME HERETICS. Feel free to comment.




We'll be back tomorrow with a bike made from Nicolas Cage's shattered dreams!

UPDATE: Shocking new footage
