What do you mean you've run out of doggie treats?


Bow wow!  Today we have a CCLE-K9 from Wild West Exodus.


This is a Mercenary sidekick who can work with a variety of factions.  He's very fast, and he has some nasty choppers!  With 3 action points, things get very interesting when these hounds are on the loose.  Typically a two action point character ends up strolling into close combat, but has to wait until the next turn to start swinging for real.


These metal minions are certainly fast enough to arrive on the scene with one action point to spare... hitting you with his fangs or his claws.  Did I mention that you can set these rovers to explode?

Sure thing.  If you think they are about to be KO'd, run them into a crowd, and set them off.  TNT with feet!  And fangs.


The Pink Flamingo is open for business!


With the Pink Flamingo ready for business, I wanted to get you some shots of the finished structure.


A few touches of weathering powders here and there were just enough to take the edge off.


I'm really looking forward to seeing this next to all the other buildings!


We used this two story building in a number of our earlier fights, but it has been set aside for a while until it had paint like the rest...


It was always a focal point of each fight, and I'm sure it will be again!


There are a number of new kits coming up from the genius of Burn in Designs.  Those will be splashing here as spring moves to summer.


The Bank is a two story structure like this, so that should lead to more interesting situations, since the only other pieces we had to match this height were the watchtower and the Water Tower.


So stay tuned for some fun images of the Flamingo in action!!!  And remember, go check out all these amazing kits at Burn in Designs.

Playing the hand you are dealt.


Meet Francesca James!  She's a fun Reaper miniature that I modified a bit with some RJ-1027 and a sniper scope.


She's mighty handy with that shootin' iron.


Best not to be cheating at cards when Fran's around!!!


This was a very fun experiment.  I look forward to making more furniture like this for our WWX games!!


Inside the Citadel


Tonight I have a big set of bases for you that I've been working on for a while.  These are for my Holy Order of Man posse.


This posse is so different from the others in the game, I wanted to create the most distinct style of basing possible.  A ruined temple/citadel look seemed to do the trick.


The blue marble also makes a nice contrast to the white robes of the characters, and to the brown and grey of the standard line troops.


The characters will be going on the more standard flat marble bases.


The line troops, or Spica, have ten different poses.  They tend to be somewhat dynamic, so this left a little more leeway for pillars and such.


I can't wait to see them on these bases!!!


The entire set...


These bases will hold the Sircans, Mimregs, Spica, and even a light support Spear of Light.


Stay tuned for these bases in action!!

What's cookin' in Hell's Kitchen


A new addition to the Outlaws for you from Wild West Exodus.  Meet Chef, who's toting around some serious kitchen ware!


If you are nice to him, he might just fix you up some crème brulee.


Hmm... looks like ribs might be on the menu tonight boys!  Although he does have a big pot of beans going right now... best not sit too close to the campfire then.


Deal Me in!


It's been a while since you have seen some base designs, but that will be changing, starting now!


This is something I have never tried before, a nice little bar table with some booze, cards and chips.  The table was made from some left over Burn in Designs pieces.


The playing cards were cut from paper, while the bottle was carved from sculpey.


Both of the wooden platforms were also sculpted from sculpey clay.  The nice cut of meat is a GW ogre kingdoms bit.


It was tricky to get things scaled down to squeeze onto the base, but it was worth it.

The gambling table base is for a Reaper figure, which you will see during the week!  Stay tuned!

Tread heads


I thought that some group shots combining the heavy vehicles with some elites and HQ minis might be fun.


Once again, it was impressed upon me just how huge the Armored Conveyor was as it towered over the Myrmidons and even the Altar.


This is some serious firepower, and I'm sure it makes for an interesting view on the table.


There are a few more colossal pieces that will be joining this force, including that insane quad tread ray gun which is now being shown by the Forgeworld folks at various shows.
