The new pup is slowing up blogging a little, but I'll try to catch up this evening. It's hard to keep up the pace with a 7 week old...
Well, all 4 gone for $105 in store credit, which will promptly be spent. I'm looking at adding;
1x TOG Cohort
1x Lupis Light Grav APC Blister
1x Type 69 I MBT's Blister
1x LeClerc MBT's Blister
1x M6 Linebacker Blister
1x Saracen Blister
1x Steve Jackson Games "Last War Convoy"
Various Misc GZG tracked vehicles
The TOG stuff will be added to the Legions, while the Type-69's will receive Deliverer Turrets and join their brothers. The LeClerc's help fill out my new Corporate Security Forces, while the M6's will receive Spartius Turrets to become tracked APC's. All told I'll get a little over 100 vehicles to add to my forces! Not bad for a bunch of boxes that were sitting in a closet through most of my last enlistment.
Also, I got the slide for one of my FNP-9's back from CCR Refinishing, so my first firearms post shall follow tomorrow!
Though I don't normally like dealing with companies that have pricing like Noble Knight Games, I find myself attracted to their offer of trade-in value on used games. I happen to have 4 items that I'm looking to get rid of and their prices on these items are more than attractive. The games are;
Trinity:Battlegrounds Boxed Set (White Wolf Games)- they have a copy of this for $130!
Navy Plan Red (Avalanche Press)- New in box
Navy Plan Black (Avalanche Press)- New in box
Navy Plan Orange (Avalanche Press)- Half the counters have been punched
The Avalanche Press games are selling between $50-$90 each, so all told, I could get lots of trade-in cash for these. That would then be used to pick up some various GHQ packs and possibly some of the Renegade Legion stuff they have, though that is heftily overpriced.
This afternoon I'll throw up a post on the Mercenary OPFOR that I've been building up.
Well, after a long day of driving I'm home again. I managed to finish cleaning up some of the new GHQ stuff last night, in preparation for base-coating tomorrow. On the right we have the LeClercs that are destined to be a locally-produced MBT, in the center are the YPR-765 with a trimmed M60A2 Cupola that will be serving as Police APC's, BTR-152K's that will be Protected Convoy Transports, and finally a Buffalo EOD that will serve as a sort-of MRAP/APC.
This little guy has been hanging out near my window for the past few days...I think it's attracted to the finely painted miniatures....or it could be the flowers...
Well, light blogging today, as a result of the time I'll be spending on the road this afternoon. However, there is some good news;
My recent order from PFC has shipped and should be here by Saturday/Monday. The order consists of:
1x ASF-1 (Tank Hunter)
1x 5951 (Aeneas)
2x 5959 (Trajan)
1x G-74 (Leopard 1A3A4)
as well as:
75x 5955 Horatius Turrets
25x 5960 Deliverer Turrets
I'll be converting all of my M60/M48 Hulls with the Horatius Turrets and all of my Type-69 I Hulls with the Deliverer Turrets. Hopefully, I'll put some more pics up when I get home tonight.
Oh! I almost forgot, the new Puppy will be here Saturday! His name has already been decided upon as "Dieter", which is very proper for a German Wirehaired Pointer, and his arrival is much anticipated. I hope he has no interest in eating little plastic tanks...
Well, I promised you all some conversions, so here's the first "quick and easy" conversion. I've done a number turret and hull swaps to achieve variation within my forces and found that a number of vehicles in the "Centurion Vehicle Update" could be created with such simple conversions.
Here is an example of my lightly converted "Titus Medium Grav Tank", named for Titus Herminius, a soldier who was said to have stayed with Horatius Cocles while defending the Pons Sublicius until Horatius asked him to leave. Considering this tank's close relationship with the Horatius Medium Grav Tank, I thought the name fitting. I constructed it using a modified Horatius chassis and the turret from a Spartius. With parts limited until I can sculpt my own vehicles, this is an acceptable stop-gap to add variation.
