Ral Partha Europe Townsfolk

I'm always looking for civilians to populate my RPGs, scenarios, battles... They are a nice addition to any scenario while can also be used as rabble troops.
This time I show you some civilians from RPE. This company has a huge amount of miniatures some of them with a true oldschool feel. The webshop is worth to visit and the prices are not bad.

All the codes come form the series: DSA The Dark Eye 28mm fantasy.

The Rural militia (codes 19302 and 19303)

The shepherd (code 18046 Tulamidian militia)

A wealthy merchant (code 16019)

And the picture of the group

Thanks for looking

Small oldschool project on the horizon

Yesterday I received a parcel from Foundry. 

It contained these two beautiful packs:

Empirical Absolution and Liquidation Squat with some old arbites/Judge Dredd/Inquisitor models and a pack of two fishmen that were given to the people that went to an oldhammer tournament a couple of years ago.

You now, living in Spain with 3 kids aged (5,4 and 1) and a full time job it’s kind of difficult to convince your wife that you need to go to the UK for a miniature tournament and to your boss that UK is a really good place to have meetings. So I was a little bit frustrated because I knew that fishmen are a really "must have" for every Rogue Trader player. 

Thanks God, the people at Foundry are really helpful and they had some leftover/recast fishmen for me at 5€. The first step towards a new Inquisimunda/Rogue Trader project has begun.

Atlantis XXIV (the beginning).

After several millennia of warp storm blocking the route to the Transultima Segmentum, with no apparent reason, the storm is stopping. In Galaspar, the capital world of this sometimes forgotten part of the Imperium, the Administratum is really busy. A “new world” has appeared. The world is believed to be Atlantis XXIV which was first reported 6000 years ago and then lost forever.
Now with a clear corridor through the storm, this world can be recovered for the Imperium. A lot of adventurers are heading to Galaspar as a bridgehead to Atlantis XXIV but Imperial laws are clear. The rights to exploration are for those who can claim a Rogue Trader Patent. Valeria Borodina is the heir of a Rogue Trader of Astronomican fame. Being the only Rogue Trader present, the Administratum granted her the rights of exploration and thus, with her crew and the “Faithfull Exploratio” she headed towards Atlantis XXIV.

On board scanners showed a lot of life forms on the surface but no metal structures or modern technology. The world was catalogued as feral world in virgin state. To prepare the path to an on land exploration, a squad of ex-imperial guards under the command of Lt. Chapsky was sent to the surface to begin the construction of a provisional encampment.

The beginning

Dear Gentlemen,

Welcome to my blog. After much time spent reding the superb work of other people. I've decided to start my old schhol fantasy and sci fi blog. I was born in 1980 and I started all this hobby with HeroQuest but my proper wargame was Warhammer 40K. You know, in Spain maybe things arrived later or I was too young to start with RT or whatever. Time later I had Necromunda and I think that is the game my brethren an I we've most enjoyed (and still enjoy). Now, I'm more into historical wargaming but you know, piles of miniatures waiting for a proper paintjob and the search for something new have moved me to start with this.

I would say thanks to all the people which is enjoying this oldhammer fever. They are my true source of inspiration. Their work can be seen in the blogroll to your right.

If you are into oldhammer/RT and you are not in the blogroll, or more important, if you happen to live in Barcelona or surroundings please introduce yourself and join the movement
