It's Right Behind Me Isn't It!

 

It happens in every good Horror story; the creature is right behind you when you sixth sense finally kicks in to warn you...to late as always. This is especially true in the case of the cursed hoplite Hiktos Nuluk who is so used to this happening it no longer evens excites him, much.

Well let's see what is the beastiey of the day... oh a large stone troll with a realllly big tree trunk weapon. This is going to hurt.

The troll is a plastic piece I painted in September, Hiktos is a 25 mm metal piece I painted in the 1970's.

Last Stand of the 24th

News From the Front, fresh from the disaster at Isandlwana comes this recovered photo of two unidentified officers of the 24th regiment that lost most of a battalion of Imperial troops. The two brave men are standing back-to-back in a final stand against the deadly Zulu warriors. Of special note is the fact that one of the officers has resorted to the use of Zulu Knobkerrie to defend himself, a sure sign of the desperate straight the two soldiers found themselves in.

The undeveloped plate of this photograph was found still in the camera sometime after the war was ended by the victorious British Army. By that time neither the identities of the officers nor that of the unknown photographer could be established. They will be remembered as our honored dead, known but to God.

I painted these two metal pieces in September.

We Crushed Them

 

                                     We crushed them...

we beat them down...

we cheered our Bears on to victory...Da Bears 36 - the Panthers 10. Victory today...what tomorrow holds is unknow...till then GO BEARS.

Huzza-Our Reinforcements are Here

To cheers, a unit of mounted men-at-arms arrive in time to save the infantry and their war-wagons.

They are to the right is the cry from the foot soldiers...but no enemy are in sight...

No! You idiots, "Your Other Right."

Oh, righttt-Charge!

These are plastic pieces I painted in September.

Charge-Death to our Capitan's Enemies!

With the thunder of hoofs, shouting battle cries and the thrusting of spears,...  

mercenary cavalry charge home into the flank of their foes.

The added incentive of bonus pay from the mercenary captain for each enemy they fell increases the brutality of their attack.

These are plastic pieces I painted in September.

Stand To!

Straight from the field of battle in North Africa our fearless reporter, I. B. Bladamadur, caught this action photograph the moment Lieutenant Clarence Goodwater orders his trumpeter Willaby Loudman to give the "Stand To!" call.  Minutes later a company of her Imperial Majesties redcoats used well timed volleys to beat back a horde of native spearmen.

 

Goodwater and Loudman are metal pieces that I painted in September.

I AM THE GOD OF THUNDER

FOR I AM THOR...FEAR MY WRATH.

Smiting his enemies is not an idle boast from Thor the God of Thunder. The powerful son of Wodin, Thor uses his might strength and fearsome hammer Mjollnir to protect the innocent and smash evil ones. Those who survive his wrath will never forget Thor's quick temper and brutal power.
