Judges patrol the rad-zones of Sector 13.
I have been working on a terrain set for the last few months. Urban sci-fi terrain has been a goal since I first got into toy soldiers in the eighties, but its only now that I am finally getting to fully indulge in getting the necessary bits ready.
More details and info will follow over the next few weeks but for now, after a weekend of painting ruined buildings, this snap is a proof of an almost thirty year old concept that pleases me quite a bit.

Some very quick paint jobs on some small but nice rank and file miniatures today, some drones to accompany my more heroic types.

Mantic games are using a miniature that I painted in their publicity shots today. I painted the Yndij Reaver model on the right of the image above, the guy with the orange mane.
My painting isnt nearly as tight as studio painters – I doubt that I will ever have anything like that sort of patience and skill level – but I am very pleased that what I produce is good enough for shots like this.

Sometimes good things happen. One of todays good things is finding out that my corner of internet toy soldier-dom got a small but complimentary mention in an article in Miniature Wargames Magazine #381.
I havent got my hard copy of the magazine yet (although I have my people working on that) but this is what the article said concerning sho3box:

As I get older, I have realised that I hate talented
people. Cheetor (by name, though not I hope by
nature) regularly turns out absolutely beautiful
figures and game boards, using a wide variety
of figures from different manufacturers and not
just old Citadel lead. It should also be noted
that while Cheetor uses the background from
Rogue Trader 40,000, most of his games seem
to use Pulp Alley rules, proving that one does
not necessarily hahave to be Oldhammer to play
Oldhammer.

Isnt that nice? Exactly the sort of thing that one is glad to hear on a cold January Monday.
Edit: I have put a link to the full article above. With the article now included I heartily encourage anyone who enjoys any of the items on this blog to check out the others listed in the piece. Every one is well worth your time.

I had a lot of fun with the Governor General of Sector Six Blog Crossover project earlier this year, so when an opportunity to engage in a slightly different sort of cross-blog project with Tales From the Maelstrom came up, I took it. Continue reading
