Space Patrol-Guardians of the Peace

Brave (but not the brightest Lazer in the box) Captain Lukass Sr'sht of Space Patrol leads his squad of crack troopers while his second in command, Tech Genius, Ensign Meg'btt Fll'knwdg brings up the rear.
          "Captain, I think we need to go this way" cries Meg'Btt
            Honest Captain, your going the wrong way...again.
                                    "Oh right...about face men...on to glory!"

The Captain and his men are metal pieces from Aberrant Games "Rezolutuin" series that I painted earlier this month.

The Doctor Is In-Doc Octopus that Is

 Otto Octavius was once an ordinary nuclear physicist until an accident created "Doctor Octopus!"
While the accident gave him great power it also twisted his mind into the evil power-hungry Doc Ock.
His mortal enemy is the Superhero Spiderman, who Doc Ock would gladly destroy-if he could.
Doctor Octopus is a plastic piece from Crisis Protocol that I painted this week.

"Emperors Fist"- 40k Battleship Gothic



The Universe of 40,000 knows only WAR and the Greatest warship of the Human Empire is the "Emperors Fist."
For countless years in endless battles against the enemies of the Human Empire the "Emperors Fist has never known defeat.
With a crew of tens of thousands, and enough firepower to destroy a planet, the "Emperors Fist" and her consorts warp in harm's way wherever the danger is greatest.
A sight no enemy has lived to see, the "Emperors Fist" leaving a star system.
 
The "Emperors Fist" is a metal piece from Battlefleet Gothic that I painted in the early 2000's as part of my Imperial vs Chaos fleets.

Voodoo, Yes I Do Voodoo

Doctor Voodoo is all his name implies-a master of the magical art of Voodoo. Voodoo that is used to defeat the forces of evil.
 
Formerly known as Doctor Jerico Drumm, upon his return to his homeland of Haiti he became Doctor Voodoo the Houngan Supreme.
His rise in power was due to the death of his brother, the former Houngan Supreme who was struck down by a curse from a rival Voodoo Priest.
As Doctor Voodoo, the Houngan Supreme uses the mystic powers of Voodoo to combat forces of destruction, conquest and even outworld threats to the peace of the people of Earth.


He has become the main "Avenger" to use the power of the Supernatural to protect the World.
Doctor Voodoo is a plastic piece from Atomic Mass Games for the Marvel Universe game Crisis Protocol. I painted him up this week.

Dawn Patrol Vietnam 1964

Four American "Advisors" ready themselves for a patrol in the early day of US involvement in South Vietnam. 

.45 Grease Gun, 2 .30 carbines and a 12-gauge Trench and lots of frag grenades give the Advisors a decent amount of firepower.
 

  Into the jungle where danger is everywhere, animals, insects, diseases and the Viet Cong.

These are plastic kit-bashed pieces that I painted this week.

Red Always Goes Faster-If Your An Orc

Nothing like a fast "Joy Ride" in a wartruck.
Everyone knows that Red Vehicles go fassssteer...whoop whoop!
                                                    Go, Go, Go, nothing can stop us!
Opps, where did that wall come from, well at least its red, just back up and-
                                                  "Weee," here we go again...
This is an old plastic piece from Games Workshop that I found in one of my bits boxes. I painted it yesterday.

Project X Bunker WIP Almost Finished

As the project X Bunkers is nearing completion a group of Winter Soldiers stops by to investigate. 
Ground looks good, lets head this way.
Rust and weathered camouflage add a nice touch to the warn nature of the place
Good place for a .30 cal. machine gun.
The soldier's bases blend in really well with the base I made for the Bunker.

No Lance, Use Your Sword

After the use of the lance, it's time for the sword as demonstrated by these troopers of the 1st Madras Cavalry Regiment
 
Raised to defend the Raj in India, the 1st Madras Regiment was one of the light cavalry units of the British Madras Presidency Army of India.

Originally formed as the 5th Madras Native Cavalry in 1787, in a short time the unit went through the first of many name changes in its long history for in 1788 it became the 1st Madras Native Cavalry. In 1818 the 1st Madras Light Cavalry, in 1888 the 1st Madras Lancers, in 1903 it became the 26th Light Cavalry, in 1906 the Prince of Wales Own Light Cavalry, 1910 it became the 26th King George's own Light Cavalry Regiment. In 1922 it was combined with the 30th Lancers (the Old Gordons Horse) and renamed the 8th King George's Own Light Cavalry, in 1940 the horses were gone, and the regiment became mechanized. In 1948 the 8th became part of the Indian Army and is still active.
These troopers are Mini Fig metal pieces that I painted in the early 1980's.

"Go Ahead, Make Hood ANGRY"

Behold former minor criminal Parker Robbins, AKA Hood.  


After taking a mystical cloak from a Nisanti daemon Parker discovered the power to transform...
from his puny human form into a powerful sorcerer, crime lord who can become deadly.
For when Hood gets angry, he uses his mystical cloak to become...
                                                              DEAMON HOOD!
Brutal strength, with the power of invisibility, flight and a heartless nature
makes Deamond Hood a horrible foe to face.



Both Hoods are plastic pieces from the Marvel Universe that I painted this month.
