Halfway through the year!

We are up to the end of June nearly and its been quite a productive couple of weeks. With a 7TV event on the 21st June in Daventry meaning I needed to create two casts for a Vigilante/Crime theme. Wanting to get some stuff painted I went through my to pile and formed some ideas for a pair of casts. I also got some other figures finished off that had been sitting lingering on the paint table. This brings the total for the year so far to 31 figures. Giving me a bit of breathing space on my target of 52. Will probably away on holiday in August. 

Now to figure out where my Mojo is going to take me next!


My main to co stars for my Vigilante cast Hit Girl and Kickass


Some nameless goons to use as Eurotrash Gangsters.


Another pair of gangster types.


This one I had started a while ago and couldn't get the coat the way I wanted it. So I repainted it a lighter grey and finished it off.


Another one that had been sat base coated for way to long.


A Resistance fighter by Crooked Dice Intended to be Michal Ironside from V however Michael was also in Total Recall which the model also works for Richter who is hunting Quaid


A Hasslefree mini which I had intended to use as a drug runner for my cast initially but end up using him as a Bounty Hunter.


With the Total Recall theme in my mind I had a rummage through my collection. Finding a Kingpin mini to use as Cohaagen. This then made think who else could I include and I thought what about Sharon Stone who plays Lori Quaid and Richters girfriend. I then remembered the Coach from Crooked Dice and although the hair isn't perfect the clothing very much nearly is.


Dispotic Dictator another one that was sat basecoated and I finished off quite quickly.


My 30 Rating Criminal cast for Daventry. 

Front Row
Cohaagen (Robber Baron) 6 Ratings
Richter (Relentless Pursuer) 6 Ratings
Lori Quaid (Assassin) 4 Ratings
Bounty Hunter 3 Ratings but free with the Richter
Criminal Boss and 3 Eurotrash Gangsters 9 Ratings
Sarge and 3 Goons 5 Ratings



My 25 Rating Vigilante Cast for the event. It was quite tough choosing profiles. There was 5 ratings less for the heroic side as they were allowed to use plot points to recycle prop cards. In the end I went for 4 Co Star's which generated a lot of Prop cards to utilise. With a VIP for 0 Ratings to help generate some much need plot points. 

Front Row
Kick Ass (Final Girl/Boy) 6 Ratings
Hit Girl (Mythic Champion) 6 Ratings
KC (Organised Criminal/Pink top) 6 Ratings
Eisenhower (Dog) 1 Rating

Rear Row
Doc Brown (VIP) 0 Ratings
Grace (Reporter) 1 Rating
Gi Jane (Loyal Sidekick) 5 Ratings
Kung Fu Kate (Martial Artist) 3 Ratings but free with Organised Criminal

    1. Thanks Suber. I wish my painting was like it used to be. I think I am going to have to practice more and look at some more option for eyewear!
