Another little distraction from
the Vimy
project… I’ve been working on these on and off over the last couple of weeks –
during painting downtime – while waiting for glue or primer or finish to dry…
or at the end of a solid eveneing of painting after finishing off a unit (as a
“treat”).
The figures are form Lead
Adventure Miniatures -
though I ordered them from Magister Militum.
I’ve been wanting to pick some of these up for a couple years now – pretty much
since they first came out. From the moment I spotted them I thought they’d be
perfect for a Twilight:2000
game. I have a pile of the adventures. I thought I could use Flying
Lead or Mutants
and Death Ray Guns as a simple system for combat resolution and bolt
on some skill resolution system…
I also have the KGB pack.
I finished up a few of these a
couple
weeks ago and even used them in
a game of Mutants
and Death Ray Guns already… of course… most of them died… Of course
that was just one-of game to try the system out – they will all be resurrected
when we get to starting a proper campaign. And now I have a bigger pool of guy
sto choose from or use as replacements as guys inevitably die…

Post apocalyptic Soviets from Lead Adventure Miniatures.
Here is the whole gang together.
I’m definitely going to have to
pick up some more packs of post-apocalyptic types from Lead
Adventure Miniatures. I’d also like to pick up some of their Astropolis
figures – they’d be great for a Rogue
Trader campaign.
(I also kind of just backed the
Dwarven
Gold Fever Kickstarter - because I apparently don’t have enough
Dwarves!?)
The nice thing about backing
kickstarters at the moment (as opposed to ordering new toys) is I can dream of
future fun, but know they won’t show up until after April and cause any further
distraction…
Coming soon on Tim’s Miniature Wargaming Blog:
Canadians… Seriously… I had a good day of assembling things
yesterday – gluing figures to bases, assembling trench mortars, etc…
