I've another U-Man on the table and a load of Aquatic scenery too; though the bases for the scenery haven't arrived yet, so probably this weekend's game will be land-based :-)Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-59923857209704646002014-12-16T13:31:47.083-08:002014-12-16T13:31:47.083-08:00Ah, I do like Bob Murch's Pulp models!

Plus I'm hoping Curt will give me a point or two for the objective markers which come with them :-) Hasslefree's Moderns are very nice indeed, though of that range I think I only own Lazarus (who isn't really a modern soldier either).

I have four issues of the current series (got as a job lot) and thought the artwork was some of the worst I've seen, so I've never picked it up again. Spooky co-incidence though :-) I've found another U-Man in my "Heroclix" box so I'm hoping I'll have a sixth henchman ready to follow Black manta for my next Batrep. Already steadily working my way through the Boys In Blue; top sculpts and reasonably quick to paint despite the different black/blue washes I'm applying.Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-34431989413730687872014-12-15T14:06:45.789-08:002014-12-15T14:06:45.789-08:00Oh crap, that's 20 Pulp points for you in thos...Oh crap, that's 20 Pulp points for you in those coppers!

I've just read this month's She-Hulk comic (She-Hulk is my favourite Marvel superhero) and would you believe it but one of them makes an appearance in a 1940's flashback sequence about Captain America. What a coincidence! <br />Your Bob Murch Boys in Blue are first class sculpts. They are full of character and I imagine they'll be a joy to paint.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.com
