I’ve at least one more Boromite to post at some point soon, and these “Strontium Dog” miniatures will feature heavily during August as I try to get them ready for a game.

Perhaps I'll do a comparison shot or some such so you can see the size differences for yourself - my immediate thought was actually that they'd work alongside the "Doctor Who: Exterminate" minis - plenty of juicy team-up possibilities that way :-)Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-88395638947974838882018-07-19T09:41:20.227-07:002018-07-19T09:41:20.227-07:00Thanks Undercoat.

I only just received my bundle this afternoon. Fortunately, I have enough painted Wargames Foundry Strontium Dogs to start testing the rules immediately. I'm very much looking forward to reading your views on the game and seeing your painted figures. I think August will be Strontium Dog month for me as I clear my painting table to make way for this new project.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.com
