Chop chop!


Did this guy chop down the cherry tree?  I cannot tell a lie, but I'm guessing not. :-)


This is the first of a set of ten beastmen from Mierce Miniatures.


I believe these are called Gabrax.  More to come!


The Nation grows...


While there the rest of the posse is well under way, I could not resist putting what was 100% done out onto the photo area.


The large variation in sizes was too intriguing to pass by!  I had to see it all together.


This is not a bad representation of what's available... heavy and light support, a Boss, a sidekick, and even a Mercenary ally!


There are three more Energy Beasts on the way in addition to Stone Fist, which should boost those cavalry numbers.


I have two more Bosses, Sitting Bull and Iron Tooth, that will boost the Creature Feature element. :-)


Both the Brave and Scalper Hired Hands are fully prepped and ready for painting.  I'm glad that I waited on those, because I now have a very solid color scheme for them.


The Scalpers will have lots of black on them, to mimic the colors of Geronimo, Sky Spirit, Iron Tooth and other characters.  Stay tuned!

Aw... rats.


Today we have two giant rats from the Reaper BONES line.


They were just the right size for what I needed... and that is a few 'pets' for the Wooster Sisters.


Big fangs and bigger tails!


With a bit of a skin condition.


They will be joining the Wooster Sisters very soon, so stay tuned!


Still trying to figure it out...


A few more views of the Outlaw Dust Cutter for you, this time from above.


I am still trying to figure out which weapon option works best.  With its high rate of speed, I had anticipated that the flame template version could be a valuable support to close combat.


It almost worked out that way in the last game, but the timing was not there, and it was picked off early.  The high armor of 4 sounds great, but it is almost always cut in half.  The high lifeblood had saved it in an earlier effort, but not with the kind of heavy firepower hitting it this time around.


The mini cannon might be interesting, but I still want to see the flame template option in conjunction with the Flame Truck.  Now an opponent would have to split that heavy firepower.


Even if they are able to take out the bigger flame truck, it will take a lot more effort to do so, and that might leave them set "in place" to be targeted by something else... like this fast moving Light Support!


As soon as that experiment happens, you will see it play out across these pages, so stay tuned!!!

Standing atop the tower


The final set of shots featuring the Mechanicum army are taken from inside the Basilica Canis.  Here the "brain trust" of the army is being guarded by a giant Thanatar.


A second Thanatar is found on top of one of the guard towers.


His base is the same size as the big oval flying base that was used for the Razorwing that normally went there.


He certainly weighed a lot more than that Razorwing!


A Thallax helps to man the rooftops!


Of course, the Myrmidons are spread out on all the levels of the Stadium.


You can knock down the walls, but they are waiting inside...


A Castellax stands guard on the other tower with some Thallax support.


All kinds of hurt is waiting to deal with you.


And now we say a final farewell to the Mechanicum!


Dressed to kill...


Here she is, the ultimate Spy Girl for the Union... Linda Loveless.

She is Jane Bond, luring you with her charms and tact, and then putting a cap in your face!


Of course she is dressed in the latest Paris fashions, and the only place in the Wild West you can get them is Wappelville!!

Madame Toussant's Chateau De La Mode is the epicenter of fine taste in clothing, and Linda can been seen there quite often.


She also knows her way around anything in the Union arsenal, which makes her particularly deadly.


She will be teaming up with the rest of the "Cloak and Dagger" Union crew... Pinkerton, Courtwright, and even Sierra Icarus.  Stay tuned to watch their exploits!!

Not the end of the line...


Yes, there is n o end in sight to the amazing kits that come from the ingenious mind of Lathan!

This kit is a fantastic caboose, which fits in well with either the Battle Train or the civilian version.


There's plenty of spaces to stand on this.  In fact, you could easily have some fantastic multiple layered close combats, given the ladders and all the various levels to stand on.


Each portico is carefully measured to not only fit the miniature, but also to ensure that you can get you hand in there as well!


As you can also see, there are now tracks for the Burn In Designs trains!  I love the end of the line barrier!


I foresee a lot of fantastic battles taking place around this and the other train cars.

Stay tuned!!!
