Regulars at The Land of Counterpane will know that I always try to run couple of games here at Stately Counterpane Manor over the Xmas holiday period. This year it's Gangs of Rome and a version of What A Cowboy based on the Traveller RPG. I've been working on models for these two games.
I designed my own Roman roof tiles after our visit to Arbeia and I've recently re-roofed the home-made foricae...
...and the horreum from Warbases.
I wanted to add a couple of additional gang members for GoR so that the players in the Christmas game could see how the character creation process works and hopefully have more personal engagement with their gang. A couple of German slave-bodyguards have already appeared here and the last couple of bodies from the Wargames Atlantic pack gave me these two:
For the Traveller game I've 3D printed a couple of cargo modules from Thingiverse. They'll play a significant role in the scenario. This first one's been painted in Vallejo Medium Blue with a couple of decals from the spares box (I suspect from a 1/48th scale Israeli Sherman tank kit I owned about fifty years ago).
I've painted a couple of Pulp figures (Bob Murch designs) that might find a role in the Traveller game. The particular setting has a Firefly TV series feel so they wouldn't be too out of place.
Finally for now, and not destined for use in either game is this person:
They are another of the Gamma World RPG models that I've had for decades. I suspect I bought them at either Games of Liverpool or Games Workshop in Sheffield in the 1980s. If I'd kept the original Grenadier Miniatures packaging they'd probably be worth a fortune now!
