Vampifans Views 117 - Monthly Musings 87

I start my latest Monthly Musings with another gorgeous painting of Vampirella by Manuel Sanjulian. I really love this portrait as she just exudes sex appeal.

As usual, this past month was been very busy for me. On the painting front I have been painting a bunch of Paranormal Investigators and their vehicle, ECTO-1, all by Crooked Dice Games. These were bought for use with the Ghostbreakers: Spirits of Manhattan supplement for the N.O.W. role-playing game by EN Publishing. See my review here https://vampifanwoin.blogspot.com/2019/03/ghostbreakers-spirits-of-manhattan.html
I'll be reviewing these figures on my WOIN blog soon.

I have also been painting a lot of figures from the Resident Evil 2 board-game by Steam Forged Games. Currently on my painting desk are 24 Zombies from this game. I hope to have these finished in the next week or so.

I am also painting a small bunch of female civilians to use in my Wild West games. These came from Wargames Foundry.

Two weeks ago I received my 7TV:Apocalypse Kickstarter package from Crooked Dice Games. The boxed set contains three rulebooks, including one dedicated to vehicular combat. I also ordered a whole load of figures and a few vehicles as well. This is a game I am very much looking forward to playing. For a long time I have been waiting for a good set of contemporary or post apocalypse vehicle rules that uses 28mm scale vehicles. I'm hoping these will be the rules I've been looking for. The opportunity to recreate some games from the world of Mad Max greatly appeals to me. I strongly suspect I'll be buying a lot more vehicles from CDG in the near future.

I'd like to say that I'll be concentrating on this game in the next few weeks but the truth is my attention is focussed elsewhere. My current passion is preparing for a new Judge Dredd campaign based on the Judge Dredd and the Worlds of 2000 AD rulebook by EN Publishing. I have been busy creating a small force of Judges to use in my campaign, many of whom are based on my player characters from my Judge Dredd Miniatures Game campaign. I liked the JDMG rules a lot but they were primarily a set of small scale skirmish rules with very little opportunity for any role-playing. It is for this reason that I much prefer the new Judge Dredd rulebook. Because this rulebook is based on the WOIN rules sets, my campaign will appear on my WOIN blog. My first scenario will most likely be the State of the Empire scenario from the core rulebook as it is very much geared for starting characters.
