Lunar Soldiers

Back in the old days, the Lunar Empire of Glorantha had certain, er, similarities with the Roman Empire. That's all changed now that Greg has uttered profound pronouncements about Mesopotamia and Media and stuff. Yeah, right.

Anyway, Warlord Games have some nice, reasonably priced figures that work well for our 1st Edition Runequest games.

Here we have test pieces for heartland corps heavy infantry, pre-rune level in bronze and rune level in iron. No similarity to Romans, no sir, not at all...

And now, back to Eldar.

And Off We Go In A New Direction

The "what shall I paint today?" dilemma was once again rearing its head when, riding to my rescue came our local LGS. Someone is about to run a 40K escalation league. Now, I've never played 40K and have often poked fun at it but, curse them, GW make some cool models for the system and quite a lot a few may have "accidentally" found their way into my stash, so this seems like a good time to pull them out and get them painted.

About ten years ago, I collected a small force of Eldar Harlequins, cos they were cool and dynamic and had a really funky PDF army list. Back then, they were dressed in yellow, orange and green clothes, all of which have a shimmery, irridescent coating on them which the camera cannot pick up, but which is visible in the flesh. We are no longer in the 'noughts and fashions have changed; the Eldar may be staid and aloof but even they pick up on such things eventually. So, say goodbye to:

as they prepare for a plunge into the Simple Green bath.

Sadly, the Solo is no longer allowed to fight, which is a shame because he was pretty scary from the little I remember. He will have to watch from the wings as the Shadowseer steps into the performance.

And so, off they go...
