I'm Weak - New Minis, New Scale

My friend, Nick Johnson (let's put that in perspective, he could be my son), ran a whole bunch of Force on Force games during Genghis Con XXXIII. I think he ran two different scenarios for a total of eight sessions over the course of three days. Very dedicated! I like to support a fellow gamer when they have put so much blood, sweat and tears into putting on a game and it looks like Ambush Alley is going to as well. Of course my version of support means buying more minis! I ended up ordering modern 20mm US Marines last night from Elheim and a bunch of buildings from Gamecraft Miniatures. So not only did I manage to increase the amount of unpainted material coming to the house but I did it in a scale that I have never worked with before and have nothing else to go along with it. Perhaps what is even worse is that five Death Kingdom minis arrived right before the convention and the rest of the couplers for my freight cars arrived yesterday. I'm also a bit behind on my school work at this point. I need to set everything aside for a bit and get caught up there before I even contemplate getting the brushes out again, although there is another bunch of WWI US Marines demanding to be painted too, and an entry for the Iron Painter Competition............arghhhhhhh!

  1. It's time to stop shopping!! Thank you for the link to Dark Sword Miniatures. I'm ready to buy my first pieces this week and that is definitely where I'm going to get them from. The hard part is going to be picking which ones. I want all of them!! After I pick them out, I'll decide on a color palette and buy paints and brushes.

    1. Sounds like I sent you a dangerous link. Which ones are at the top of your list?

  2. The top three are Rabbit Ranger DSM7989, Female Fighter DSM4115 and Warrior with Axe DSM7427. And I looked at those HD paints you told me about. That's an amazing set of colors! The only reason I didn't buy those figures right this minute is because my debit card got stolen and I'm waiting for the new one to come in the mail. As soon as it comes in I'm shopping!!
