The kids are at the folks, Amanda's away at a yoga retreat so I've got a few odd items rolling off the workbench this weekend…
(Remember: click on the pictures
for a bigger version):
First squad of some Imperial
Guard Cadians (from Games
Workshop) that I recently picked up off ebay dirt cheap-ish and repainted…
I ended up with four whole squads a platoon command and a company command. I
thought these would be easy to paint with the kids.
A couple of “Marauders” from Mantic Games that I
thought might make good opponents for the Imperial Guard. Again, I thought
these would be easy to paint with the kids…. Like the zombies – it doesn’t
matter if they look a bit “rough”... unfortunately Mantic minis have a bit more
detail on them than your average GW figure. The price was right, though. My
friend Mr. Miller hooked me up with 20 of them that he was never going to get
around to painting in exchange for continuing to cut MDF bases for him, and
then I found this big’un and another platoon box of 20 in the 50% off bin at
the Dragon’s
Den - so we now have 40 or those to paint up as well!
And finally Ramona Flowers… Who
had nothing to do with Imperial Guard or Space Ork Marauders… I just happened
to be watching Scott Pilgrim vs. the World last night and though… “Hey, I
should finish up that Ramona Flowers mini I picked up from Hasslefree
Miniatures a while back” since, y’know, I had photo reference
material bouncing around the screen in front of me…
In some other gaming related
news… the game
schedule and information is up for ToonCon
2013 (20-22 September 2013) and I will be running a game of Ambush
Z on the Friday evening and Force
on Force on the Saturday evening. I haven’t really worked out
scenarios for either yet, but I’ve got a month, so… I will also be helping out
with Wargaming
Nineteenth Century Europe 1815-1873 on Saturday afternoon.
Um…? I should get a few Space Orks done, then I could play the game I've been planning to run for the kids... then...?

Great stuff, Tim - really nice work ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks Monty!
DeleteGreat looking troops, Tim. I'm thinking of starting on a Space Marine unit - never played 40K, but starting to like the look. Best, Dean
ReplyDeleteThanks Dean. Can't wait to see the Marines you do!
