Mars Attacks Loot!
My Mars Attacks stuff arrived finally. well, it was actually only a couple of months late, which is pretty good for a large Kickstarter.

Mars Attacks Loot!
There's the actual gamebox lurking under all this other stuff.

Mars Attacks Loot!
I got a bunch of these mats. The grid is really subdued, which makes these ideal for other games.

Far Future Wants You!
More troopers join the ranks.

Far Future Wants You!
There's even some brutish aliens!

Feudal Muster
The men-at-arms gather.
|

VOTOMS Factory
Rectioneters and Bersergas on the line.

Feudal Muster
Ok, so that was a dumb idea... I quickly demounted the assistant gunners for painting.
|
|
Feudal Muster
Woof, woof! These are old Ral Parth figures. The handler is in the second batch.
|

Feudal Muster
I haven't done plate armor in ages...

If you look closely, you'll see there's no hope of fitting these guys on 20mm bases. The stances are just way too wide. That's one of the primary reasons I gave up on 20mm bases and standardized everything on 25mm ones.

Feudal Muster
Light gray makes a good base for shield colors.

Nearing completion.

This one's a gashapon vinyl Berserga I weathered.

It looks a lot better, but I'm still not quite satisfied with it...
|

Men-at-arms
The first part of the muster is complete!

The obligatory overhead view.

The red flag looks a bit bland... maybe it could use a farming tool or something?
|

Men-at-arms
These are mostly old Grenadier figures sculpted by Mark Copplestone.

Men-at-arms
A pair of of armored war dogs from I believe Ral Partha. Their handler is in the second batch.

A quiet moment before battle.

Men-at-arms
I couldn't be bothered with looking up real heraldy so I just used this red band design on most of them.
|
|
Men-at-arms
The plumes are actually a bit fragile, which is irritating.
|
|
Men-at-arms
Hmmm... maybe the white shirts are a bit bland?
|
|
Men-at-arms
The guy on the right is straight out of a Gary Chalk painting... but ofcourse I couldn't be bothered to actually look it up to replicate the colors.
|
|
Men-at-arms
Goldilocks and Monsieur Chateau Bleu.
|
|
Men-at-arms
Here's the shield detail for Goldilocks. I made my daughter paint it.

Research material
I happened upon this at the bookstore. This is actually a subject that is not covered very well in English language books -- and virtually not at all in gaming. The Light Brigade wasn't there, so gives a hoot, right?
