Rooting for the Underdogs

I've finished some of my new Polish infantry for Nuts!, I've got about 16 of them finished now.  The figures are from Blacktree and the castings are quite nice.  I've been itching to do something a little different and these lads are the ticket.  What's really cool is they can go to battle against both the Germans and Russians for a little more variety, but they will be massively underpowered with all these bolt action rifles.  To make up for it I splurged and got them an infantry gun of the 75mm+ variety.  So now those dirty Fascist and Bolshevik dogs cannot skulk around in buildings for safety!  I'll be posting it soon.

And Even More Reinforcements

In my crusade to get some loose ends finished up, here is my latest batch of easy reinforcements.

 Here are some Copplestone miniatures that I still had laying around.  Don't ask me why I didn't get these guys painted sooner as I like them.  A couple of these guys look suspiciously like Jules and Vincent from Pulp Fiction.  Especially Jules.

 Here are some more of the clix minis.  These are Vampire types, haven't quite figured out for sure yet.

 Some miscellaneous Werewolf types.  They are just in time too because Nick is going through a Werewolf phase at the moment.

Here are some random wierdos.  I like the guy with the huge hammer, I'm sure we'll be crossing paths at some point.

More Easy Reinforcements

Here's a few more cheap and dirty clix minis that I threw together.

Some various Zombie/horror figs that are great for filling out some hordes.  The Grey may not fit in but don't be surprised if you see him lumbering around in one of my Zombie games sometime.  He might make a good plot item.  In this batch there is no doubt that the Mime is my favorite.  He is a truly scary chap.

Next up are some Cowboys from the Heroscape game.  These minis are not so cheap but since we play Heroscape anyway you will often see some HS figures in my games.  They have a lot of good stuff for a lot of different periods.  Heroscape minis come painted and ready to go and run in the 2.00 range per fig.

And here are some Heroscape Woodland Indians.  Not bad looking at all and I didn't have to do anything but pull them out of the box.

So, if you don't have a lot of time you still have no excuses not to game, there are plenty of cost effective goodies out there!

Easy Reinforcements

I finally got around to basing some of my Horror Clix minis.  These minis are dirt cheap (I've scored these as low as .10 cents) and come painted and ready to go so they are a great way to get some extra Zeds on the table.  Some are really nice and some are not so great, but easy is easy.  In this batch, my favorite is the Zombie ventriloquist; hands down.  I just based a few more that I will post soon along with some additional clix minis that Vampifan sent to me.  So if you need some warm, dead bodies on the table fast, this is a great way to start.

A Smattering of Reinforcements

I finally got around to painting and basing more stuff.  I still had quite a bit of lead laying about which got sluffed off because we were gaming so much but with this bloody hot Summer I'm finding more time to work on minis.  Most of these are from the outstanding line of minis from Copplestone which is hands down my favorite mini maker.  The castings are great quality, and real fat and heavy plus he makes a nice assortment of all kinds of cool stuff.  That being said, my painting skills are far from being able to do his work justice, but they are certainly serviceable.

The Men in Black.  I love these guys!  Just think Mr. Smith from the Matrix.  I'd like to get more of these but Copplestone has a bunch of KGB types that I want to get first.  Men in Black can be used in all sorts of situations.

Here is Lieutenant Raynon D'Parade and his Elite squad of shotgun wielding enforcers.  Now I have even more firepower for my futuristic police force and plan on having a lot of fun with these bad boys.  I have already decided that Raynon is Rep 6 and his lads are all Rep 5 so look out bad guys!

More Gangers to add to my ever growing collection.  I love these Ganger types because they are so versatile and random looking. 

The Bikers.  I love these minis a lot as well.  As with my Gangers, I wait until we start playing to name the figures.  During play the minis always seem to name themselves.  This bunch looks like a bunch of really competent head bashers to me.

Desperados.  If these guys aren't up to no good, then I'm a monkey.  I don't see these vile types ever filling in as Survivors though.

A few more miscellaneous babes to add to my collection.  They make good cannon fodder for "whats inside" encounters.

 Here is a couple of stragglers from my Cold War minis.  This is another company I like a lot and where I got most of my Zeds from.  The castings are a bit thin but very creative.  You can tell right off that the lad on the left is from Texas by the number three on his shirt.

I've also managed to base a bunch of my clix figures which I will post soon.  I'm off to play some more Wings of War campaign at the University so the minis will have to wait!
