Update of 7TV in General.

Well Had the house to myself last night and I was so intending on playing of some description. Only after a day off playing with the kids and taking them swimming I couldn't find my mojo to set it all up and play a game. I did get it all down off the top of the wardrobe just  didn't get it all set up.

So with Crooked Dice releasing there United Radionic Characters for 7TV and them arriving on Friday. I decided to write up some cast lists so I can play a few games and get a better feel for the rules.

Talking of Character here is a sneak peek of the 7TV stuff that is on the work bench at the moment did a few conversions and puttied the bases ready to be under-coated on Friday night.

United Radionic's Lancelot Cray at the front, Lionel his Right Hand man to the left. The man in the Lead Lined Suit to the right a Failed Experiment.

Hasslefree's Alexander and Morgan make a good Spy duo I feel and they are just lovely sculpts. (Finn in the background will be a zombie hunter and the Butler is for EotD.
Size Comparison picture for Colgar6. Crooked Dice, Hasslefree Morgan, Hasslefree Alexander and then Crooked Dice.

Various generic agent type characters, middle one is unconverted but the left and right ones have had head swaps. Rear row is some more minions not decided on colour scheme yet.
So havign prepared the next batch of mini's I had a sort through what I had got painted already. WOW I was so surprise when I got them all out 91 various miniatures painted and finished! Heres a few pics of the whole collection. (there is 92 as I've just realised my Professor Beattie figure is missing I suspect he's in a Zombie Survivor box somewhere!).

I call these Assistants as they can be use for any cast Villainous or Heroic!

Various Villains and there Henchmen.

Hero ae the heroic Agents and there Allies. Soldiers for rescue missions and thwarting evil doings!

The Generic Security types with a technician at the front next to the flame thrower specialist.
Cast wise I've done a few different version as for know I'm going to be using the named characters from the cast lists. These are only small lists at the moment as I need to round out the Heroic Casts a bit more with Soldiers etc.

United Radionics 200 Rating list

Lancelot Cray (Insidious Industrialist)
Lionel (Faithful Lackey) Cray's Right hand Man.
Technician
Security guards (x12) 11 with SMG and 1 Pistol.
Photo's aren't great took these very late last night. Note stand in for Lionel and Lancelot Cray.

Department X 200 Rating list (there two versions of this list as the main characters are expensive)

First List (more members in this one)

Hugo Solomon (Flamboyant Agent)
Soldiers (x7) 2x Rifle 4x SMG 1x Corporal and one soldier has Stun Grenades)

Second List (quite a small list really but the characters are awesome)

Hugo Solomon (Flamboyant Agent)
Pandora King (Angel of Justice I think)
Soldiers (x4) 2x Rifle and 2x SMG

Now I've got some casts ready I need to come up with a couple of scenario's to test them out and learn the rules better.

Hope your all enjoying the May Day Bank Holiday weather seems to be holding out so I'm off to go play in the garden with the kids.

    I did have one but it is now the little ones room. It was mainly my computer gaming room. I don't mind so much. Was just to tired last night I need to sit and write out the casts anyway and just felt to tired so chatted with my buddys on facebook and watch a few movies.

    It was nice to get the whole collection out andquite surprising!

    An excellent collection, but you do need to actually play games with them :-) !

    Is it just a trick of the photograph, or is Alexander *huge* when compared to Morgan and the other figures? If he's really that big then he could stand in for "Jaws" (or the really big guy from "Police Squad")!

      Thanks and I do intend to at some point, I'm just slower at it than most folks :D

      Its the exact opposite Morgan is small more of a Teenager type size.

      I've added a picture of them all lined up.

      Thanks, Nearly got the whole collections though there is a few duplicates where I've done the odd head swap and I've converted a few bond villains such as Tee Hee, Jaws, Mr Wint and Mr Kidd.

      The rest are Crooked Dice, Mountain Minatures, Warm Acre Games, Copplestone Future Wars, Hasslefree quite a variety now I come to think about it :D

      What no Heresy Dr. Who figures? For shame, well nothing could possibly shame a collection as grand as this. :)

    These are sweet Simon and because of what you've been posting here, I spent part of last night adding some Crooked Dice to my whishlist at FRP.

    Using empty butter tubs is a great idea for storage.

      Thanks Anne, Its away of sorting my miniatures into factions, settings etc. I looked at getting proper storage/transport cases and they are so expensive.

    Lol - what a fantastic collection of minis… and more to be painted. I think you need to do a 7tv battle report (or have I missed one already?)

    A lot of nicely painted miniatures Simon, you have done well so far, all you need now is a scenario to help get the action going.

    You just like Lurpak because of the buttery trombone player. Admit it!

    As for the figures. Looking good so far and I'm quite impressed. You should sort a game out as well. All the best.

      LOL Indeed forgot about him. I have a lot of figures but not done any sort of casts with them yet. With the arrival of Mr Cray, Lionel and and TMITLLS I can no play with the published casts to give myself a better idea of the game.

    Great looking collection Brummie. Keeping a decent sized stable of "Associates" is a cracking idea.
