CIA Museum

 Hi!

I just read an article on the BBC website about the CIA Museum at Langley. A restricted museum. The article had blanked out pictures but I Googled CIA Museum and found out a little more about it.

One extraordinary piece of information was that special forces engaged in cavalry charges. Can anyone confirm this from other sources? Well, you know the reputation of the CIA for misdirection, right?

And does anyone do special forces on horseback with an M46 or M48? Bizarre much?

As the saying goes ;- You learn something new every day.

Cheers!

The Silver Bayonet

 Hi!

Two new figures to add to my F&IW Silver Bayonet monster range.

These two are from First Nations mythology so should fit right in.

Flying Head 

and the Wendigo

As gruesome a pair as you are likely to find in your nightmares!

I was really pleased to find some pre-European folklore figures though I wish there were a couple more. I am undecided about Skin-Walkers or the Deer Lady both of which could be portrayed as animal figures.

I'll keep searching I think.

Thanks' for dropping by.

Don't Look Back!

 Hi!

I'm blessed. I saw this game on Guerrilla Miniature Games on YT (Don't Look Back) or Black Site Studios (blacksitestudio.com) and liked the look of it. It is similar in some ways to 7TV in that is played like a film. With plots and markers to investigate.

The game comes boxed with figures, rules and accessories. Any scenics/terrain will need to be purchased though many may have the basics of trees, rocks even buildings they can use rather than buying the proffered offerings on the website.

It is in the horror genre so not for the young IMHO.

Here are a few pictures of the cast:-

The cast of innocent teenagers

The deranged, evil killer

There is a choice of heads and weapons for the killer. Not so for the characters


From the expansion Blackhearts. Why not call it a sequel? There are figures only in the expansion. There are further scenarios you can purchase from the website. 

The twins, allegedly on the side of good

Three more allegedly on the side of good

Yet to play a game. I have more The Silver Bayonet and Sell Swords and Spell Slingers to game yet but time spent painting is never wasted. And I rather enjoy painting these days.

And there are some Napoleonic French cavalry from Heroics and Ros to finish also.

Happy days!
