I won Obiwan Sherlock Clousseau!

Hi All,

Not much to report. I did win the 1988 Rogue Trader adventurer figure I bid on.

As far as the picture goes he doesn't look like he's in too bad a shape. I'll strip him and paint him up to be Qui-gon Hercule Marple. We'll then try to design a scenario to play Rogue Trader with the Sci-Fi figures I paint up.

The price was ok, the shipping made it less of a bargain but what can you do?

The Pre game show for Superbowl 50 is about to come on. I'm going to clean miniatures while I watch the game.

Failure to submit, but my mojo is returning.

Hi All,

Thanks for the encouragement, I'm not back to 100% but I've turned the corner and am just painting what sparks my interest right now and not worrying a lick about points or schedules.

I'm too lazy to show pictures but I've got Psycho Sam and some Colony 87 on the table right now and a bunch of Orc Boar Riders on deck.

One thing that occurred to me was that I've been waffling to much with what I want to play. When it comes to the 40K universe I was waffling about with RT, Inquisimunda and even Inquisitor. Then I read the Inquisitor section in the RT book and it all made sense. Draw on subsequent Inquisitor fluff, but learn RT to play fun, bad ass games with the Oldhammer in the New World Gang. Sounds like a win win.

So I'm now on a quest to get the 1988 Inquisitor figure, to be my version of Obiwan Sherlock Clousseau, none other than Qui-gon Hercule Marple. Borborygmus Prime must be cleansed!

So that little bit of hobby clarity has occurred.

I've also noticed that sitting in front of the computer is giving me splitting headaches so I'll try to moderate that a little.

Off to make dinner. Have a great day.

More Half Price Books and Ebay Loot

  I wish I had some finished figures to show you, but I've been fooling around with a bunch of other things. I did do a couple colors here and there, but nothing worth it's own post.

  What you may find interesting are these books I found in a central Phoenix Half Price books, after a wild goose chase for lunch and shopping (it was our anniversary).

  This first book is printed by Image comics and has four stories that are in Frank Frazetta settings. My wife gave me crap for the ample buttocks on the cover. Buttocks notwithstanding, I almost bought a copy for Airbornegrove, but I figured he probably already had it.

I then found this tome on the shelves. It seemed serendipitous, as I had just found the Inquisimunda resources here. The intro and fluff are great, and there is really fantastic art and painted scenery and figures.

But, it's a totally different system from Warhammer and the figures are 54mm scale. So even at $12.99 it may not be worth it. I believe the whole game has been discontinued by GW. We'll see if i can get some use out of it.

The Gruntas I won off ebay arrived, and I was surprised to see an extra figure in the blister on the left. It had at some point been cut open and then taped together with masking tape. The state of the tape led me to believe that happened a very long time ago. So not sure if I have a bonus figure or am missing a boar. I think it's the former. The figures are a spearman and a crossbowman. Or rather Orcs.

And at the same time the last of the Marauder Giant Black Orcs arrived. So I now have all four.

Don't know how much I'll be posting. We have the next three days off from school so we're going to take the kids up North to Flagstaff and sight see. So I may have some Grand Canyon etc pictures to share.
