Cacique CaribeParticipantMike
I think that’s a better movie review than what I had heard until now. I’ll have to give it a shot now.
Thanks
PS. And, by the way, I’m extremely glad that no one here has tried to insinuate that this figure range has anything to do with the Jonestown (Guyana) tragedy of the late 1970s, because these figures clearly don’t. But, for some reason, a few overly excited people on a different forum jumped to that erroneous conclusion when I posted this topic over there. The thread over there has since been deleted.

What’s “Project Slow Burn”?
Thanks

I agree, as long as they have picked up headwear and weapons along the way. The Xyston Athenian rowers (ANC20023) may also be worth a look.
Wow, those rowers definitely have lots of potential. Thanks!

LOL. Thanks guys! I’m going to place my order right now then.

I wonder if these guys are as “hefty” (buff?) as they look in the picture:

Has anyone here ordered them and seen them up close?
Thanks
Dan
Loads of WIPs: https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/albums/with/72157710630529376Cacique CaribeParticipantOops. I left out the words “wanted to”. Lol
Dan
Loads of WIPs: https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/albums/with/72157710630529376Cacique CaribeParticipantI really like it! It looks like it would be right at home in that old Doctor Caligari film.

I’ve always to dive into the Conan universe. I bought some 15mm Hittites long ago with that in mind, to serve as city forces somewhere in the South or East. Perhaps now it’s time to give it a whirl.

Dan
Loads of WIPs: https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/albums/with/72157710630529376Cacique CaribeParticipantExcellent. I’ll check those out.
Thanks so much!

Loads of WIPs: https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/albums/with/72157710630529376Cacique CaribeParticipantWow, I missed those when I placed my order. Excellent. And that flying carpet guy is hilarious. Perfect.
Thanks!
Dan
Loads of WIPs: https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/albums/with/72157710630529376Cacique CaribeParticipantWonderfully painted figures, and I wholeheartedly recommended the use of cork for buildings and subterranean setups.

Dan
Loads of WIPs: https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/albums/with/72157710630529376Cacique CaribeParticipantOutstanding setup and figures. And I thought I recognized those starport figures by CP Models. Excellently painted too. I’m so jealous! 🙂

I also thank you for the information. I am going to save that list to use in the very near future.

Amazing pieces!
does the roof lift off on the larger building?
Dan
Loads of WIPs: https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/albums/with/72157710630529376Cacique CaribeParticipantCheck out this old story of an interstellar “collector”:
Perhaps it can fuel a few proper (and more modern) SciFi gaming scenario ideas. 🙂
PS. Or in your game the collector could be an Earth human crashed on an alien planet, looking to recapture escaped stock or perhaps in search of local ones.

Loads of WIPs: https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/albums/with/72157710630529376Cacique CaribeParticipantMagnificent map!
Dan
Loads of WIPs: https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/albums/with/72157710630529376Cacique CaribeParticipantLol. Was it that bad? 🙂
Dan
Loads of WIPs: https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/albums/with/72157710630529376Cacique CaribeParticipantI guess I need to put Ice Pirates on my must-watch list.
Dan
Loads of WIPs: https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/albums/with/72157710630529376Cacique CaribeParticipantExcellent idea. And nice crew you’ve got there!
Dan
Loads of WIPs: https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/albums/with/72157710630529376Cacique CaribeParticipantI like it when I can watch a space opera film or TV series, or read a space opera comic book, or play a space opera video game, and go “ooh, that’s a cool new interpretation of space pirates!”.
I wonder what a new take on the Pirates if Ersatz would look like.

I’ve gone ahead and ordered “Void Pirates” and “Mutants and Death Ray Guns” (from Amazon):

Now I can’t wait to jump into them the moment they arrive. Thanks so much everyone!
Dan
Loads of WIPs: https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/albums/with/72157710630529376Cacique CaribeParticipantso, as very much a NON SF player over the years since I was no longer forced to play Necromunda – what IS a good sf skirmish game? I always thought 40k was a Good Skirmish Game spoiled.
If one goes by most of the stuff on YouTube, you’d think there were no other SF skirmishing options outside of the GW franchise (or the 40K wannabe clones). 🙂
Dan
Loads of WIPs: https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/albums/with/72157710630529376Cacique CaribeParticipantHmm. I was hoping for something for 10-15 figures per side. Perhaps as many as 20 alien natives (or mining colonists) vs a ship’s small crew.

What shade grass did you order? Is that the “Summer” one from the link?
Dan
Loads of WIPs: https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/albums/with/72157710630529376Cacique CaribeParticipantI’ve just realized that Red Beard Baron’s tips for making vineyards might be a THIRD method for making the TOPS of mangrove trees:
Dan
Loads of WIPs: https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/albums/with/72157710630529376Cacique CaribeParticipantThanks all so much!
I use expanded PVC sheets for my bases (3mm thick), though MDF could work also if you keep moisture to an absolute minimum. When the armatures are ready to go on the base I use either greenstuff or superglue to affix to the base. Then I apply a light coat of straight PVA and dust the base with fine tile grout. After that sets hard like cement, I use diluted PVA (50/50) to “seal” the grout in place for good. Paint, flock and spray varnish.
By the way, I even ordered this 36” x 72” vinyl mat for the mangrove islands and cays that I plan to make:

I finally found this a few days ago:
To minimize the use of PVA or other shrinkable glues, i plan to use spray adhesive with the thin MDF sheets. The project is still on my to do pile. However, if the link can help others, go for it.
Dan
Loads of WIPs: https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/albums/with/72157710630529376Cacique CaribeParticipantUnbelievable! What a beauty. I’m in awe.
PS. The moment I looked at the skyline, I immediately recognized that it was San Gimingano. I love that city.
Dan
Loads of WIPs: https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/albums/with/72157710630529376Cacique CaribeParticipantWow! I’m in awe. Speechless. What a beauty.
Dan
Loads of WIPs: https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/albums/with/72157710630529376Cacique CaribeParticipantExcellent report. Sounds like it was a fun game.
My alien invasion scenario will start when the aliens arrive and first responders come to the rescue. Immediately after the first hostiles arrive: “Help! Somebody call 9-1-1! Someone please call the police!”

All you needed was a group of Prang coming down the planet to collect some human specimens for their zoo … or their freezer. 🙂
Dan
Loads of WIPs: https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/albums/with/72157710630529376Cacique CaribeParticipantThat looks amazing! Thanks for posting the photo. And hope your leg gets back to normal soon.

That cephalopod set from Fighting15s might do the job, if the size is right. I’ll give it a shot. Thanks!
Dan
Loads of WIPs: https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/albums/with/72157710630529376Cacique CaribeParticipantMike
so what happened next? Did the Prang attack the party on the ground?
Dan
Loads of WIPs: https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/albums/with/72157710630529376Cacique CaribeParticipantFantastic job! I can see that village used for so many genres. I love it.
Dan
Loads of WIPs: https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/albums/with/72157710630529376Cacique CaribeParticipantWow! I never expected such a positive response to the idea. Fantastic suggestions too! I might need to turn the premise into a game after all.
Keep them coming.
Thanks!
