They came from benethe the waves

As I still have relatives here. Painting has been quiet. So rather than start something new I have been re-painting! These are Crooked Dice "Conch Kin". I have of late gotten back into 7TV and in 2 weeks time shall contenmplate buying the rules again. (2nd Edition, I currently have 1st)

So why re-paint these. Well let us just say "Long term plans". I shall talk (I hope) to Carl at the SELWG show  and with tremendous luck get a game in. Just a small skirmish to re-ignite my interest. If all goes well I shall make a board in which these shall feature.

All terrain making has ground to a halt due to awaiting a delivery. But the mentioned delivery is but a few days off.  So back to making terrain , I hope< by the weekend.

Meanwhile I am finally reading the rules for Crimson Skies. The old FASA game. Yes I am looking to play some of this game. But I cannot say for sure UNTIL I finish reading the rules.

That's todays update. Not huge I know but relatives have slowed me down no end. All the best Clint.

Cavalier swag!

Show report probly tomorrow.

Internet has been down here so I missed a few posts but I have not been Idle so posts will come soon.

However until they do ... Just got back from the Cavalier show so I thought to share the loot/swag haul.  Here it is.

left to right top to bottom.

2 28mm Panserschrek teams for WW2 Germans got Chain of command.

6 Lewis Guns. These will be for conversions for my diesel punk project. Which I HOPE to START this week.

2 packs of Anstiy castings (Tea chests and stacks of boxes.) generally useful but also I do have a specific plan for them.

4 28mm Victorian Science Fiction Robots. (Ironclad Miniatures) Wait and see!

2 20mm SHQ Modern British gulf war soldiers. To paint as BAOR troops part impulse buy and part I want to do some "Cold War"

1 pack of plastic slotta bases because I am running out.

1 pack of German Aeronef Digs.

2 rule sets (Gift from friend so no cost) "Triumph and Tragedy for BoB. I already have the rules so either for Matt or another at the club.
and the Spanish Civil war supplement, which I was not expecting and now I am thinking of starting SCW in another scale!

4 Pots of Paint. I always need more paint since I found that the world stops spinning if I do not buy paint regularly! (No it does truly it does and if I wash my hair in it I will never go bald..... one of these comments may not be true, but why risk it?)

1 other secret thing I hope to get painted as a gift, But if I tell you it will not be a secret so I may just have to stick with the paint shampoo!

That's it for today. I will try to get a show game report done tomorrow

All the best folks.

DEEPONES, Kermit's revenge... or an idea for IHMN

Well the title pretty much says it all. I have some (at least for me) good news. The Egyptians I had painted for Matt photo's have been found. More of that another time. I  guess my sacrifices to the Outer/older gods must have worked.

These figures are by BLACK CAT BASES ( LINK ) and are figures I received as part of my prize from Vampifan. They were a random lot of DeepOnes 5 random models at a bargain price (I WILL be getting more). 1 is still to be painted as I try to get just the right base for him so be patient he will be coming along soon, (Soon in geological terms... maybe not soon in a 5 year olds terms). But in the mean time kindly enjoy the others. I REALLY did.

These were a QUICK paint mostly just base colours and a wash and a top coat. that said I am very happy with how they came out. Nothing flashy and something we can all do  easily. (But don't tell any non painters that last bit... they will not understand.

I did paint the inside of the legs a cream as well and then thought about it and painted over with the base colour green when dry. Sometimes we all need to rethink tings as we paint.

I painted the eyes red as I looked up frog eyes on google and found them in many many colours so selected Red as it just seemed to fit best. I am not sure yet what colour I will paint any Hybrids. !!??

I want to use these to fight Royal  Navy landing party In Her Majesties Name (IHMN) as I can easily  see te deep ones turning up just about anywhere... (Maybe not Arizona but then I will use Sepant People!). Also as they have no ranged weapons some Hybrids will have to supplement them and maybe some big nasty tentacle thing as well.... which I just happen to have in the painting queue! Not sure of the Stats just yet. But at least you know my thinking... yes crazy as a box of frogs!

Just a pair of quickly painted 28mm figures. I received these as part of a job lot so other than they are metal and they are 28mm in size I cannot provide many more details as make and range.

The guy on the left is for general steampunk wargaming. maybe for In her majesty's name, Maybe for something else. Only Time will tell.

While the figure on the right could also be used for Steampunk is far more suitable for a generic cop on the streets of an American city. Anytime really for the last 100 years.  Perhaps IF I get the up coming "Mad dogs with Guns!" rules (published soon by Osprey he might fit into that. And then again he may fit into anything from Zombies in the modern word all the way back to the Keystone cops.

That is a quick post for today as I am supposed to be cooking the Sunday Lunch and not blogging!

Best wishes Clint
