Black Scorpion Pirates, Part 4 DONE

Happy New Year! Looking forward to another year of geeking out with miniature gaming.

OK, Let's get on with it shall we?

On a nice Sunday morning, I laid out some terrain in preparation for some wacky gaming... 

(click on the pic to enlarge)

A peaceful and pastoral village, an amalgamation of scratch built 
cottages, sheds, haystacks, hills and store bought prepainted building 
from Pegasus as well as pre-flocked and painted hill from War Torn Worlds

Lots of terrain to take cover in with a good view of the prepainted 
cottage and wooden fences from Pegasus in the foreground, 
the plowed fields were carpet samples

Kegs and barrels were unpainted from Hobby Lobby (or any craft store)
while the crates and chests were prepainted from War Torn Worlds

From Black Scorpion line, I took a collection of Pirates Rogues and Privateers line, these are one of the best sculpts around IMHO.. 

I have 6 done and 13 more to go. 

Some of my would-be marauders

Ready for action!

Some infighting to see who gets the rum 

Coming up, my Pirate marauders vs British Napoleonic regulars...

Happy Holidays!

Seasons Greetings!

Happy Holidays from the entire gang (collection)! 

Alas, my camera doesn't have a wide enough lens to fit everybody!

Merry Christmas from all the gang!

Well, tis truly is the Season and the toys ALL wanted to get together and do an obligatory group photo. I said to the guys, "Are you nuts?! There's no room to fit y'all - I don't care if you are all minis. And besides the coordination nightmare, we all have to make sure that everybody gets along. This'll be just like herding kittens." 


But a few nano seconds later I felt the sting of a humbug and relented. "OK, fine, let's go ahead do a photo but y'all have to pick representatives from each group..."

"Here we go, no crowding around and everyone squeeze together."

Take 1: Here' s the gang (or at least a SMITTERING of them as my Cuban gaming buddy, Uncle Greasy, would say). That pretty much represents most of everyone, I thought.

Take 2: OK, a few more lumbered in and flew by...

Take 3: ...and rode in...

Take 4: ...crawling thru...

Take 5: Now the ships came in!

Take 6: "Droids! We don't allow your kind here..."

Take 7: But of course, if the Droids join then the rest of the Star Wars knuckleheads have to crowd in... "And, I thought they smelled bad on the outside..."

Take 8: Finally. Cheese! MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!
