End of 2017 update: W40k and Fallout

Hello,

Santa fighting Nazis

Normal Santa

Not dead.
I did a lot of painting recently and spent too much time playing video game (easier, faster, ...). I also changed my dining table, which impacted the games.
Nevertheless, I recently got a Mahjong table, ideal to set a quick game.

Here are the November and December painting. Space Marines, Santa Claus, Warmaster (MB/GW), cant-remember, starship troopers Skinnies.
 
Rebasing all my space marines in clear base, repainting old marines.

All the space marines, in a nutshell

 

A rogue trader

Some grey hunters

They have old helmets, because w40k!

Command team

Warmaster Chaos and Empire bowmen

Fallout small guys. Can't-remember-the-brand-but-too-much-complicated-to-glue miniatures and skinny faction from Starship Troopers

A big priest and a Thief

 Regular imperial guards and some gangers (Necromunda) reinforcement

Bad scientist

October update - Some painting has been done

Lots of travel, lack of mojo, not much painting going on.
And then, finally, it came back.

I have finished 2 sets of pulp figures for my Weird War and Bolt Action games, either as fighters or as objectives.

First, the movie crew, Pulp Figures by Bob Murch. Very characterful models. Ref. PHP01

Merrik Von Stroheim, director

Billy Boyle, clapper

Max Parker, cameraman

Miss Spingler, script

The crew is working with 2 stars on the next great movie: The Not-Inglorious b'stards.

Next, 2 miniatures, Lt Hail and Batman. Ref GiM014

Lt Hail, likes killing zombies and nazis.

Batman, great swinger

Gaming notes:

That scenario was very close.

Mallory lost most of his soldiers in the first turns, but the bright side was that the priest was untouched (random placement, I was lucky on the deployment roll)

Von Evil was killed with 3 hits, and double "1" thereafter, meaning instant death. As he was shot by Mallory, there was no way he could avoid dying.

Then, the T800 received a huge amount of shots, and none of them got the famous "1" to kill (T800 needs 2 to be destroyed). The T800 missed most of its shots because the priest and his team where under heavy cover. At the last last minute, the priest and Mallory finished the machine. 

In Bastogne, I have been blessed because the horde took time to arrive. But once it was there, trouble started to mount. Having Gurkhas and trench helped to hold them off, but slowly bad things happened (no ammo, no activation, 1 trooper KD in the middle.). The priest successfully unsummon the Evil at the last minute.

Hope you enjoyed the serie. Next year it's going to be something new :)
