My Wargaming Week 7

Yep, up to number 7 already, although number 6 mysteriously disappeared into the aether...

So this week we managed to get some historics painted for other people and finished off Mothron for the superheroes project. I also managed to complete my city terrain board for the superheroes:

There is still a bit of work to do on the wrecked building tile, but everything else is pretty much complete.

Looking down Shortland street towards the junction with Sesame Street. Yes. You read that right. The streets are named after TV programmes. One is for infantile minds and the other has muppets...

Looking down Sesame Street.

Along with the terrain to fight over, a couple more characters and some henchmen were completed:

Mr Anarchy is a combination of Mr Mxyptlk's head and Shade's body. This close up reveals the trouble I am having with painting eyes at the moment.

 Mr Anarchy is Baz Burp from the future of Earth-C. He is the heir of the 'Big Family' Corporation  Burp Burger. On Earth-C libertarians won the Congress and Presidency of the USA in 2016, and within 6 months the country had collapsed into total anarchy. The rest of the world soon followed as the economic repercussions echoed around the globe. Out of the anarchy, several super-rich businessmen managed to carve their own fiefdoms. Eventually the remaining governments became summit meetings for representatives of the corporations. The world was effectively run by the 'Big Families'. Outside of the gated communities of workers that they provide protection to, chaos reigns. The Burps are one of the biggest families, and with their scientists discovering trans-dimensional travel, they are looking to expand. Particularly as there are very few resources available on their Earth anymore. Mr Anarchy's goal is to plunge this world into the same state of chaos his own went through, in order to make sure he carves out a new kingdom here and gets to exploit its resources.

Scarlet Rose was Malice

 A beautiful and deadly dagger for hire, the Scarlet Rose is a mysterious martial artist who specialises in the use of throwing knives. Sometimes she is on the good guys' side, and sometimes she is against them. It depends who is paying. The Malice figure that she comes from had a big hole in the back of her head when I removed the cape, and I had no green stuff. Enter the trusty blu-tak, which I sculpted and then covered in superglue. Yes - it works!

I inherited a number of Imperial Blood Beret Warzone figures which were already painted a while back. A quick repaint of the base and I figured that they would do a good job as some henchmen. Originally I thought they might fit with Mr Anarchy, but they don't look very anarchic, so these are now the Mothmen - Mothron's goons.

One last thing this week - although it didn't get painted this week, but a while back - is a clix that I converted up for Tim over at the Heropress blog. He represents a character Tim invented for his RPGs a number of years ago, and I thought he might appreciate a miniature of him.

The Acrobatic Flea - ready for action!

So another week down, and plenty accomplished. I now have to paint up Mr Anarchy's punks as the next step in the Supers collection.
