I
just bought the Pulp Alley skirmish-rules (got them
from Statuesque Miniatures
in UK) and was fully hooked. Easy to learn and they seem fast paced and fun. What
I find really positive is that they could be used for the thirties, modern or
SF, as well as fantasy, horror and more. A really versatile set of rules that
will see a lot of use in the future. For a good introduction listen to Meeples
and Miniatures episode 132, and also see the battle
reports on the same blog.
I
checked my tin-mountain and found a couple of unpainted pulp-figures that were
immediately put on the painting table.
The
first finished one is Professor Beattie, sculpted by Warren Beattie, and from Hasslefree Miniatures. A great mini that
paints up fast with a very limited palette.
The
base comes from Sally 4th and their
Terra Bases range. I found these the other day and bought a couple of bags of
25mm bases. I have decided to at least base my pulp-figures on clear bases, as I
expect to use those figures on a variety of scenery, from indoors to desert and
jungle. With clear bases you don’t get green-flocked bases in cities and such
annoying miss-matches. I might go for these fully, we’ll see.
It’s
fun to re-visit a ‘period’.
Nice idea about the bases!
ReplyDeleteI really like the bases. You will see more of them in the near future
DeleteLovely job. Its one of my favourites from the range. I went for Lab coat/scientist for mine. I like the colours you've done him in.
ReplyDeleteHasslefree has a lot of very nice minis, and this is certainly one of those.
