Yesterday was Salute 2019 and I'm sure lots of people will be posting their purchases online. Once again, I did not attend. I'm not bothered as I do not like crowds. Anyway, in my last Monthly Musings I mentioned that I'd received my
7TV2e: Apocalypse Kickstarter package. I did say I'd received a lot of figures and vehicles but failed to mention what I'd got. So, here's my loot collection, showing all the extra stuff I bought for this Crooked Dice Games package.
Starting at the top left are my mutant giant ants in three sizes. These are great critters to use in any post-apocalypse game. I will certainly get some more of these. Moving down are four Wasteland Heroes - Mad Max, Mean Machine (not Mean Machine Angel from
Judge Dredd), the Gyro Captain and his kid. To the left of them is the 7TV Mcguffin scenery piece, and finally post-apocalypse versions of Dick Dastardly and Muttley from
The Wacky Races. The next two rows of figures show assorted Wasteland Villains, some of whom will be recognisable from the
Mad Max series of films (Humongous, Wez, Master Blaster and the Feral Kid). In the bottom row are 8 Wasteland Cultists.
Moving to the right side I have two Interceptor cars. The top one will be Mad Max's car and the lower one a Police Interceptor from the first
Mad Max film. I definitely want at least two more of these cars. They are so versatile with loads of options. Below them are three Wasteland bikers. To the right of them are rear stowage options for the Interceptor cars. Finally, at the bottom are post-apocalypse versions of Penelope Pitstop and the Ant Hill Mob from
The Wacky Races.
As you can see, I have primarily concentrated on figures and vehicles from the
Mad Max films. I love these films. I have long wanted to use this setting to play on my gaming table using 28mm scale figures. I am sure these will be an absolute joy to paint but I'm not sure when I'll get round to painting as I have two other big projects I'm concentrating on -
Core Space and
Judge Dredd. Once I do get round to painting them I know I'll be buying a lot more vehicles to use in this game. This game has most definitely captured my enthusiasm.
Great haul Bryan, lot's of interesting figures to inspire and take in many directions. Look forward to seeing what you do with them, when you've finished your other projects
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, Dave. I wish I had more time on my hands as I have so many figures I want painting asap. The curse of so many gamers, huh?
DeleteThat it is Bryan ! LOL
DeleteLOL indeed! Ah, you have to laugh.
DeleteI really am in 2 minds about post apoc wargames. Some can be very good indeed. (Like Zombies) but many times it is just not as good as you want it to be. Sometimes better as Roleplaying o an individual level. So really in 2 minds.
ReplyDeleteI would certainly agree that it all comes down to gameplay, Clint. I haven't tried it out yet but I have played 7TV2e before and very much enjoyed the experience so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this exceeds my expectations. Even if the rules do turn out naff, I'm more than happy with the figures.
DeleteGreat set of models there Bryan, the giant ants would be my pick of the bunch as like you said they offer so many use's :)
ReplyDeleteThanks you, Frank. I can certainly find lots of uses for the giant ants in numerous games. They are very versatile.
DeleteLots to see and enjoy with that photo, Bryan, as you clearly took advantage of the Kickstarters numerous gangs etc. I look forward to seeing how you get on painting them :-)
ReplyDeleteMuch appreciated, Simon. I can't wait to get them painted and onto my gaming table to give the rules a try out.
DeleteYou certainly live the phrase ""All in!" don't you Bryan. :-)
ReplyDeleteCheers Roger.
Greatly appreciated, Roger. You clearly know me so well, LOL!
DeleteI recently got my box, but I'm jealous of your better loot pull. I really look forward to seeing your bikers and the interceptors painted.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, Baconfat. I certainly did splash out on this Kickstarter.
DeleteSo finished by the next update I hope !!!! Best of luck with the interceptors the `last of the V8 interceptors' being black is an iconic car and the weathering will finish that one. If the other is the the interceptor from the first chase, yellow, red, blue with white pin stripes. Rather you than me.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Phil. I'll be lucky to get started on these before my next update! Regarding their colour schemes, you are spot on. I like a challenge! :-)
DeleteFabulous. I am looking forward to seeing your interceptors done.
ReplyDeleteI regret not getting the cultists as part of mine but alas didn't have the funds at the time. I shall look forward to filling the gaps as they get released.
Greatly appreciated, Simon. I understand your dilemma. I know I could have easily spent a lot more on this Kickstarter.
DeleteI was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
ReplyDeleteliver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
My name is Olisa Blessing, I am so happy. I never believe I will be this happy again in life. I have worked as an air hostess ( cabin crew ) for 3years but early this year, I lost my job because of this deadly disease called Herpes virus (HSV).
ReplyDeleteI never felt sick or notice any symptoms. Not until the day all workers were asked to bring their current doctor's report card, that was how I got tested and I found out that I'm HSV positive and that made me lose my job because it was considered as an STD and is an incurable disease.
I was so depressed to the extent that I started thinking of suicide. I explained my problem to a senior friend of mine, who often said to me 'a problem shared is a problem half solved.
She felt so pity for me that she referred me to Dr. Utu Herbal Cure, that was how I contacted Dr. Utu and got the medication from him and was cured for real.
I went back to my work a month later with a HERPES NEGATIVE test result. They were astonished and curious when they saw my HSV NEGATIVE result so they carried out another test on me in the company lab to be very sure and they found out I am indeed a HERPES VIRUS FREED PERSON.
Finally, the initial HERPES POSITIVE result was replaced with a new HERPES NEGATIVE test result, and my position was given back to me with an apology letter and a salary increase.
Beware of impersonators,
Dr. Utu can only be reached at:
