Colonel Gravis Artillery

   I backed Colonel Gravis's artillery piece Kickstarter, which ended yesterday. While originally designed for a Grim Future of War in the Fortieth Millennia, Gravis has a distinct Victorian feel to his products, because he loves Praetorians. At any rate, here are a few pictures of the pieces i will be receiving. These are from the Kickstarter updates, so they may not be exactly what ends up arriving in June, but they should be pretty close. I will be receiving three carriages and three of each barrel except the Nebelwerfer. I ordered only one of those. Also, I will be getting six crewmen. With shipping, it ran me about $81 for all - not a bad deal at all.

Double Barrel Autocannon

Gatling Cannon. I love the drum feed.

Tesla Cannon

Probably my favorite.

The Nebelwerfer

The Rocket Tube. Comes with spare rockets!

Anti-tank Lascannon

The Original Design.

   Colonel - I know I pulled these from the Kickstarter website without your explicit permission. However, since I believe you intend to offer these for sale to the general public as well, please consider this more a form of fanboy gushing and advertising and less an attempt to hijack your IP. Which it isn't. Oh, and for the record, the sculptor of these magnificent pieces is Kit Burrows.

Kickstarter for Hive Queen and Country!

   The World Beneath the Clouds is the Venus supplement to Terry Sofian's Hive, Queen and Country Victorian Science Fiction setting. To help launch the product, there is a Kickstarter project running right now. You may find it here.

 

Some spiffingly good art!

 

 

   I have been remiss in mentioning this not because I lack support for HQC, but because pressures of school and family have been more pressing recently. I beg that Mr. Sofian accept my apologies for the delay.

Prussian Dystopian Wars

   Just a few pictures of my first Dystopian Wars fleet as it gets finished. This is part of the Prussian Empire Naval battlegroup boxset. I am working on the bombers and the tiny flyer tokens still, and six of the frigates are nearing completion.

The battleship, preparing to fire on some giant amphibious jeeps.

Perfidious Albion! (note drivers on the right hand side)

A squadron of frigates.

Should I band the stacks? There is a German flag on the portside funnel.

Cruiser squadron.

More cruisers. Note the planking. Kind of a pain to paint.

Ochre yellow bands on the funnels look far more yellow in these pictures.

Armoured Ursine Cavalry

   Ramshackle Games is now selling a set of five (5) armoured bears. The models are resin, and have legs already modeled on them. You just need torsos, arms and heads. I was thinking some of the Victoria Miniatures Full Dress torsos and either lancer arms or sword and pistol arms, with a dress cap head. Bingo! Russian Imperial Armoured Ursine Cavalry!

What do you think?
