Scooby Gang

From Hasslefree Miniatures, the post apocalypse Scooby Gang. I got these at the same time as the Bloodbowl player and handful of others.


I will eventually use them for the likes of Rogue Stars or some kind of cultist bashing (I've got enough of them).

Pulp Cultists

So Midlam miniatures are responsible for a lot of my Kickstarter purchases, eventually for Thud and Blunder and In Her Majesties Name. The Cult of the Kracken Lord miniatures are great for some Cthulhu style evil goodness.


This is actually about a third of the set, the next batch are on the table with StoatBarts at the moment and as you can see are painted in the same colouring as all of the other cultists.

'Fast' Eddie Stoatbart

 So while I've still got a bunch of posts scheduled to pop up with the other stuff I done during my time away from the blog, The first batch of models off the table since.

'Fast' Eddie Stoatbart and his hauliers. More Burrows and Badgers miniatures, the stoats come in 'mounted' and 'dismounted' versions, alongside the stoat with a blunderbuss, weasel rogue for some of that sneakier action and a certain Independent Trader for handling goods at either end of the journey.

Full Thrust Merchants and Civilians

Finally from Full Thrust my civilians and some Fireflies to be used in the board game, but have been handily based correctly for Full Thrust.

Full Thrust ESU

Having finally gotten the fighters I realised that I hadn't ever gotten round to getting a picture of this lot together before.


My ESU fleet, all from the original range of sculpts, I'd bought mine while still at school, then picked up more from Kev when he was getting rid of his, got them repainted then some point last year or so, I got a custom order of the old sculpt Capitol ships from GZG. The Fighters where the last thing I needed to finish this force off, although I got the Scanfed Heavy and Standard fighters.

If the new ESU fighters ever make it out, I may well buy them and a Scanfed fleet to finish things off, hence why I've done the fighters in blue instead of the red.

Tau

So finally the reason why everything ended up delayed, I always wanted some Tau models, they're great Sci-Fi models and can be fairly generic in comparison to most of the GW stable of miniatures. I picked up some from eBay in bits and bobs and the results are below.

It's taken ages to get them all painted up in a similar fashion and I did loads of other things alongside them, they've been on the table a few times as well playing Grim Dark Future (from One Page Rules).

Pulp Adventures


I've picked up a fair few pulp style figures over the last few years, some are old Foundry figures from bits boxes, some are from Ironclad and one from a Kickstarter.

From a Kickstarter, I can't honestly remember which now, but branded as Cthulhu investigators they were reasonably priced and looked good and have painted up well.

Some of the old Foundry stuff is in here, no idea if all of them or not, all of them were picked up from bring and buy or rummage boxes. Some more for Victorian In Her Majesties Name than others.

Lastly, I can't remember if I showed the Mina Harker (centre) figure before, I got her ages ago with Holmes and Watson from IronClad. The other two I have no idea what's so ever, but I use them as the leadership group of my Cultists for In Her Majesties Name.

Burrows and Badgers

The first models from the Kickstarter I picked up in York finally painted, these were a bit more recent and the Adder had been done from a previous Kickstarter,  But these are my crew for the Warren Percy affair. (subject to change with the whims of these things)

Well at least they will be once we get back to normal gaming at club.  I've currently got StoatBarts hauliers on the painting table just now, alongside the amazing Ferret Rogue and the mighty fine upstanding independent Magpie trader.

Full Thrust S'vasku

We've been playing Full Thrust for years, and continue playing it. We've tweaked the rules from stuff we've found online and made a really good playsheet to use at club that covers everything from the four books and the online changes to the turn sequence and fighter rules. I'd finally picked up some flight bases from Templar Wargames at the York show, otherwise they'd probably still be languishing in a box.

When Jon at GZG did his not quite a lockdown sale on Full thrust stuff I ordered up a bunch of fighters for my ESU and a couple of Ships and Fighters to round off my Tyranid Hive Fleet. In Game they get called S'vasku, but we just use them with the advanced Grave drive and normal systems. But it was the kick that was needed to actually get this lot painted, mostly done by painting them Sand Yellow and Electric Blue, then washing them in shades of green, blue and purple to highlight that alien-ess.
