I've been grinding out a few more 15mm fantasy figures for Dragon Rampant. Today, I have some plastic game tokens from LotR Risk.

Fistful of Dice Endgame Mechanic
For the past couple of weeks, Bruce and I have been playing some Gangster scenarios using the Fist of Dice rules. The rules work very well for skirmish games and I played a short superhero campaign with them the spring.
- +1 for gunfire having occurred in the game
- +1 for machine-gun fire having occurred in the game
- +1 for each figure KIA'd in the game

BSG Land Ram
A couple of years ago, I got an mdf kit with an order of figures. I promptly mislaid the kit, then rediscovered it, and finally built it.

15mm mounted
Today, I have a job lot of plastic 15mm mounted. These are from the Joan of Arc board game.

28mm furnishings
I'm not sure where these bookcases, chairs, and sofa came from (they are a touch big for 28mm).

HO-scale buildings
Today, I finished some of the beat-up HO-scale buildings I got at the model railway swap meet in April.

15mm Billmen
Welcome back! This week, I've got the last of the 15mm billmen from the Joan of Arc game. I did two groups of 10: one with red and yellow tunics and one with yellow and white.

HO-scale pulp buildings
In the spring, I picked up a bunch of model buildings at the railway swap meet. One box was 10 or 12 badly beat up buildings for like $10. I fixed up four of them.

15mm knights, billmen, and arquebusiers
This week, I finished another 30 of the 15mm medieval figures from the Joan of Arc game. First up are 10 knights, nine with axes and one with a warhammer.

Firehall
Back in April, I picked up this firehall at the model railway swap meet. I think I paid $10?

25mm Star Wars Smugglers
One of the challenges of collecting old figures is that you end up with a lot of duplicates. This is great news if the duplicates are stormtroopers. Less so if the extras are named characters. How many Han Solos do you need? My solution is to paint up a bunch as generic smugglers for Xenos rampant units (probably as some kind of skirmishing light infantry).

15mm Elven archers
I painted up some more of the 15mm Joan of Arc figures I bought. I wasn't sure what these mounted archers were supposed to represent in medieval France (maybe Saracens for the crusades?). Anyhow, they looked more like elves to me, so that's how I treated them.

15mm Billmen and Archers
I was looking around for figures to expand my 15mm armies and ran across some extras someone was selling from a kickstarter game called Joan of Arc. Beautiful figures from an apparently unplayable game. Anyhow, I worked my way through some of the 15mm archers and billmen.

Star Trek Runabout
A couple of years back, I was putting together some 28mm STTNG-era crews and I ran across this shuttle pod.
It was from the Action Fleet series and was close enough to scale to work. I also got four STTOS shuttles in the same lot.
It included a pilot (maybe Picard?) and you could open it up to play. It looks like there is a warp core in the cargo area that you can eject (it comes out).
