Red Squadron

The forces attacking the Diomedes gather...

A lone raider

Wingmen

The squadron of general purpose fighters are tasked to escort the attack squadron in

These are from Brigade Games' Squadron Commander Range (these are the German line).

Blue Squadron

So, I've kicked off my main project for the year: Raid on the Diomedes

A single multi-purpose fighter

Along with the main pilot's wingman

Two pairs of the fighters will provide protection for the Diomedes

In case you're wondering they're from Brigade Games' Squadron Commander Range (these are the EuroFed line). So, I'll start doing the attacking craft soon (in red!)

Corporate Security Shuttle

With the situation worsening in Novaya Sakha, Heymans & Yamada Corporate Security are maintaining a heightened state of alert at all their facilities in the province.

The Interface Facility outside of Hanhai is abuzz with activity

Senior Technician Betsen takes a second look at the cranky V-Tail



The anti-grav drive and the C3i module all look good though

Mobsters in Monrovia

Off to Gaelcon tomorrow, these guys may make an appearance

Bourne's smuggling crewe - known for shipping the finest rum



Thompson, the main mover in Monrovia, with his hatchetman - Dillahunt



Reilly, Thompson's up-and-coming rival



The Meet



Yates' Mob, led by Reilly



Well, lets see how Tommy Guns do vs. a Spinosaurus...

Ex-Askari Brigands

A band of Kru Askari rule the highway near the American Mission

Two experienced men, veterans of the Great War and armed with modern weaponry lead the group



The rest of the Askari, armed with muskets move along the trail



They form a firing line, commanded by the infamous (and disgraced) French officer DuPont



Mobsters next...

Kpelle Warriors

Some natives for the campaign - they may be a dangerous obstacle on the Perilous Trail, or might unite with the adventurers against the dinosaur menace

A small group of Kpelle tribal warriors



More warriors from the highland tribe on the trail



The Kpelle are beset by an Allosaurus



Out of the undergrowth



Next up: some tribal bandits using more modern weapons...

Dinosaurs Roam the Earth!

Some extra beasties have arrived for my Perilous Trail! game at Gaelcon in a couple of weeks.
You'll notice a distinct lack of herbivores...

Why not? Well two things:
1. In 28mm dinosaurs are more expensive and more difficult to transport to a convention than the 10mm versions I've been using previously. For that reason alone there's going to be less dinosaurs
2. I did notice that herbivores got less interest from players - some of that may have been due to the survive/protect nest style objectives they had, but it's no crime that people prefer more active/aggressive roles (especially in a one-off game)

The two larger creatures are from Papo - these are approx 1/40 and are a bit big, but will work fine I think.

Allosaurus



Spinosaurus



The smaller guys are from Honourable Lead Boiler Suit Company (discontinued now I think)

Raptors



More Raptors



I think these are dwarf Allosaurs but I'm calling them Achillobators (just because of the cool name you understand)



I'll see if I can get some shots of them alongside 28mm miniatures as well, just so you get a good sense of scale.

Viet Cong

I picked up a veritable horde of Viet Cong over on The Guild recently
