Bazookas Bust Pillboxes as well as Tanks

In the Island-Hopping Campaign having a bazooka on your team is a great help when dealing with Japanese pillboxes.
Even if you don't penetrate the walls on the first couple of shop, it still distracts the enemy gunners with the explosion, fragments and concussion.
These are 28mm plastic pieces I painted in March.

Blade-Bane of Vampires

Blade (aka Eric Cross Brooks & frank Blade) a dhampir so proficient with martial arts and swords that he is able to overcome and destroy vampires.
In fact the main goal of his life is to eliminate that hated class of undead from the face of the Earth.
His superhuman strength and abilities and his immunity to the bite of a vampire have been of great assistance in his never-ending combat against the "Blood Suckers of the Night."
Although he most often hunts alone, Blade has been known to join other hunters from time to time.
Even S.H.I.E.L.D. has used him to help them in several dangerous situations, both official and clandestine.
Blade is a plastic piece I painted in March.

Patience is a Snipers Hallmark

News from the front: Date line last month, somewhere in the South Pacific. Our on the location photographer has recently sent this action photo of a USMC sniper team in action. Armed with a Springfield 1906 rifle and assisted by his spotter, this sniper lay in wait for over an hour before he took out his enemy, a Japanese officer. 

There is no such thing as a successful impatient sniper. Not a long lived one that is.
For patience is the name of the game, wait for the perfect shot. Take it and silently move your location to set up your next kill.
These are 28mm plastic pieces that I painted in March.

Undead Mistress

It's only a nightmare...
or is it? For the power of Lich Mistress Ima Imorale'mortal can warp one's own reality to match hers.
Little of her once matchless beautiful flesh remains, a small price to pay in her soulless eyes for near eternal life and matchless power over the restless "dead."
When she appears to you in the "flesh" or a dream, don't delay just run away, don't look back, just pray to your god's that she loses interest in your body and soul.
Or maybe it is already too late, and you are...
DOOMED!
I painted this plastic Litch Mistress over the weekend.

Drop 150 and Fire for Effect

When the front line needs quick fire support, calling the heavy weapons platoon for a rain of 81mm mortar high explosive rounds is just what the doctor ordered.
The tried and trusted M-1 81mm (3.2 in.) is the standard medium mortar for the US Military in both the Pacific and European theaters.
With a "Mad Minute" rate of 35 rounds (standard rpm is 18) and mortar team can lay down a rain of pain on any enemy up to 3000 meters (3600 yards).
So, when you need quick fire support call on the 81's to help.
Let her rip...
outgoing...
and ready another round.
These are resin 28mm pieces that I painted over the Weekend.

Mont-Saint-Michel Fortress Monastery

For over 1000 years Mont-Saint-Michel was used as a sanctuary for both religious and military purposes.
Surrounded by se water at all but low tides, Mont-Saint-Michel value as a defensive position was recognized by men of vision and fortified. Defenses that served its inhabitants well during the turbulent Middle Ages. At the same time the monastery on top of the mount served the religious needs of the surrounding area.  Now days its wartime past is gone and it is tourists that invade Mont-Saint-Michel on a daily basis. 
This is a 3D printed piece that is approx. 100mm wide (4inches).

Bloody H'ell, its Abomination on a Rampage

Abomination, aka Emil Bronsky, the vile nemesis of Marvell hero's and especially the Hulk, is on another mission of destruction.
Once he was a criminal spy until he was exposed to a massive burst of "Gamma Radiation" while trying to steal military secrets.
The exposure would have killed most humans, but a fluke gene mutation saved his life and created the beast now known as "Abomination."
He has since turned his massive strength and durability to the side of self-gain, personal gratification and outright evil.
He has become he mortal enemy of the Hulk who he has fought countless times.
As no police force is his equal, the best they can do when Abomination appears is to evacuate the civilians call for help... 
and pray some heroes come to save the day!
Abomination is a plastic figure from Atomic Mass Games that I painted Last week.
Here he is next to 25mm Brave & Cursed Hoplite Hiktos Nuluk for a size comparison:

Master Smith Kazduum

When war threatens Master Weapons Smith Bamkam Kazduum stands ready to create the latest tools to destroy the enemies of the clans.
                                                  
When you want to send a clear message, nothing impresses your foes as much as the "Kazaduum Boy Shredder" combination power-crossbow and blunderbuss.
His mechanical falcon with tempered steel talons is also a fine scout.
This is a plastic piece I painted last week.

Duckbill for Lost World Adventures

A colorful Hadrosaurs with his duckbill mouth wanders in the Land of Lost Ages.
It looks like he's looking for his next meal of "greens."
Which means he must be ever vigilant for and predatory dangers, no matter what type. Like...what the heck is that thing?
Oh no, it appears that our brave & cursed hoplite, Hiktos Nuluk has also wandered into the Land of Lost Ages. Thank the gods this is not a fully grown Hadrosaurus. (The 25mm hoplite is to show the creature's scale.)

Lost again, our "Brave and Cursed" hoplite Hiktos Nuluk asks the tower unknow warrior he is.
"You are in my domine for I am Dominus Ferrum Masculinum Rex "Titus" puny warrior, now you DIE!" If the cursed hoplite only could...

Uncommon Commoners

When war comes to their village these "Commoners" become uncommon elite warriors to defend their hearth and family.
Brynhold the matron grabs her deadly scythe, fools often she here as a helpless old crone-but only once. Akiel the farmer finds his pitchfork an excellent way to make his points.  Bjorn the blacksmith finds that his massive hammer makes a wonderful squashing sound when crushing the skulls of his foes. Ivar the butcher uses his razor-sharp bone cleaver works well on the bones of both beast and man. Anneli the "Maiden" has been a secret sword master since childhood when she was tutored in the use of the blade by a travelling knight that spent a year+ replenishing his youthful vigor in the village. While Gunnar the "Reaper" lives up to his professional title when he harvests the souls of those foolish enough to threaten his community of Dodens Landsby (Village of Death)
