Some malifaux complete. These guys were primed and not any where near being table ready. I decided to finish them up.

2nd Annual 6MMRPC

So there is this I signed up for.

The pre-season has begun! David at Spiderweb of History has taken the lead on burnishing the rules and started the collective dash of lemmings towards the mountains of lead. It's simply easier to copy and paste his informative post here:
Alright everybody, it's time for the 2nd Annual 6 Month Mountain Reduction and Painting Challenge or 6MMRPC. We've changed up the time frame - it's going to run from June 1, 2015 thru November 30, 2015. This avoids Christmas. There have also been a few rules changes, and some exciting additions IN BOLD.

1. No purchasing of new miniatures, EXCEPT if you use a joker. You get three jokers to use on a figure purchase. Could be a blister pack, an ebay bundle, or a single figure...you can't splurge. The only exception to this rule is if you need bitz or A FIGURE (Singular) to complete a unit/warband etc.

1.1 - There is an opportunity to "earn" additional jokers. If you complete an entire project (whole unit/army/warband etc.) with pictures of starting, WIP, and completion, you earn yourself a Joker.

2. Gifts do not count against you. Holidays, birthdays etc. Also, if you're given gift cards by your hobby illiterate family or friends, you can without penalty use them on anything you want miniatures wise.

3. Paints, terrain (or materials), and other hobby supplies do not apply to the no purchasing rule.

4. At least one hobby related blog post and/or Instagram update a week. If you instagram, be sure to hashtag your pic with #6MMRPC

5. Zombtober will be part of the 6 month challenge so, Zombie related stuff during October is ENCOURAGED. Other theme suggestions are welcomed.

6. Anyone that wants to submit a before and after picture of a miniature that they are proud of completing during the course of the challenge to dmcffd@gmail.com will be entered into the running for a gift certificate to a online wargaming store of their choice. Judging will be by an un-biased person. Amount on the gift certificate will be dictated by winners nationality but should work out to about $30 U.S. I (Spiderweb of History) will not be eligible to win.

So spread the word folks, and lets make this an even better challenge than the last!

Crossover Miniatures new Kickstarter."UFO Squad"

As usual the comic book theme is alive. I also love the art style.

First of all, Rusti runs a great kickstarter. He has always been on time and has meet or beat my expectations. One of the many things I like about this kickstarter is Rules. It is going to have rules to play. I like that, I have lots of aliens (Thanks to mars attacks, deadzone, bones 2, space hulk etc....) So unfortunately I don't need the aliens. But I can never have enough soldiers, so I am all in on those guys and gals. Although, i may later pick up 1 or 2 of those carapace aliens, they look cool.

Here are the guys I am in for
