10mm Sci-fi Army 1 For Sale

I have for sale two 10mm mech armies. This is the first one. I'd like $50 for it plus shipping ($15 in Canada or the US) but if you buy both armies I will cover the shipping costs. This army comprises 23 bases all on 40mm frontages and could be used for HoTT, FUBAR or other systems. The figures could also work with 6mm sci-fi armies.

First up we have 11 bases of infantry. There are four types (number of stands in parentheses): extra heavy (3), heavy (4), medium, (2) and light (2).

We then have some combat vehicles. There are (left to right) two tanks, a wheeled recon vehicle and two lightly gunned hover craft.

There are four support vehicles, including two armoured personnel carriers and two mobile missile batteries.

And finally we have three walkers: one with a cannon, one with a bladed weapon and one mobile missile battery.

Offers to bob.barnetson@shaw.ca . All will be shipped individually bubble-wrapped and insured.

3rd Massachusetts

Some more of the 10mm commission. This unit is the 3rd Massachusetts.

This unit has a very large mix of uniformed and non-uniformed troops. Perhaps it was called up at the last minute or the supply donkeys never arrived? I wonder if the 1st Massachusetts will have more blue coats?

Up next: Some AWI are on the painting table (human and horse flesh done) but I expect I will have a couple of mecha armies for sale by the end of the day. And Tuesday night is club night.

3rd Pennsylvania

This unit represents the 3rd Pennsylvania at Monmouth Courthouse.It is hard to find really good data about who wore what so the owner gave me two generic colour palettes and told me to apply them as I saw fit.

The other two Pennsylvania units will follow a similar scheme while the three Massachusetts units will be far more eclectic! Those in uniform have yellow cuffs and trim but many are in hunting shirts.

Up next: The 3rd Massachusetts is next. I have three more AWI units on the go as well as some more superheroes and the club is on Tuesday.

10mm AWi American Generals

I'm back to working on the remainder of a 10mm commission I took on. I've started on the Americans. First completed are the American generals.

This is the CnC stand, where there is a bit of a conference going on among the generals. "No old boy, it's just a reordering of propertied relations to favour local capital over foreign." "Oh, jolly good then!" or so I imagine... .

There are also three individually based generals. It may have been that I was to put four mounted figures on the CnC base but I just could not make them fit in an intelligent arrangement.

I also tried to follow the sculpt as closely as possible in terms of what folks were wearing. The early colonial army wasn't exactly standardized and at least one fellow was wearing some fetching hunting clothes.

Up next I have the third battalions from Pennsylvania and Massachusetts finished up and drying. These are a real mixed bag, with Massachusetts clearly having some supply problems. However, the instructions were to make them look like an army of farmers so there is a real mix of blue coats and civilian garb as the sculpts dictated. I also have three more units on paint sticks: two line units and a unit of dragoons.

More clix repaints

While I do have some more 10mm AWI underway (basing up three units--should be ready for tomorrow), I have continued to repaint and base the huge box of Heroclix I got recently.

I continued on some of the Marvel characters. From the Fantastic Four, I finished two each of Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Women, She-Hulk (whom I didn't know was in the Fantastic Four) and the Thing. I also have a couple of Human Torches in the box that I will dig out.

From the X-Men, I redid Jean Grey, Colossus, Cyclops (x4), another Colossus and Wildcat (x2). Below you can see some miscellaneous figures, including two gun-toters and another Scarlet Witch.

Up next: Three AWI units are being based up and should be ready to show the next few days. After that, more AWI and likely some more Heroclix. I think I have enough to do some HoTT Superhero armies!

DBA Army for Sale

My buddy Dave has put this 15mm Seljuk Turk army up for sale to help fund repairs to our gaming space.

Opening bid is $1!

Marvel heroes and villains

While my paint brush has returned to 10mm AWI, I'm still moving some 28mm heroes and villains through the basing process. Up now are some Marvel figures. I was never a Marvel fan but these characters have quite a lot of charm.

Up first we have the Hobgoblin, the Vulture and Kingpin. I recall the Vulture being bald but the last Spiderman comic I read was in the 1970s so what do I know.

I also repainted Sandman, Mysterio and Dr. Octopus. The Mysterio figure is very nice, with a clear helm and a misty base.

I also did some heroes. The Scarlet Witch (and Avenger), the Hulk (a lovely model) and oddly a newer version of DC's Robin. Below I have DareDevil, Spiderman and Elektra. The Spiderman sculpt is one of the most animated I've ever seen--it is lovely.

Up next: Some 10mm American AWI figures. The first units are line and some generals.
