Pulp Alley 2ed

Получили с Анзором на руки реварды с кикстартера второй редакции Pulp Alley. Воспользовался случаем, чтобы покрасить немного миниатюр и элемент террейна на тему. Бесстрашная монашка будет противостоять на столе адептам эзотерического ордена Дагона.

Стелла от Reaper Miniatures. Вторая, с изображением Ктулху в полный рост, ждет своего часа.

Приехавшие реварды с кикстартера. Книга правил, закладка-напоминалка и новые карты Фортуны и Наград.

Zombtober

Хотел устроить себе Зомбтябрь, но какой-то активной деятельности в плане хобби у меня не вышло. Лениво перекрасил одну из китайских машинок на пробу. В целом уже смотрится интереснее заводской покраски. Когда добью партию хотя бы в пять машинок - займусь везерингом и чуть-чуть подзамараю их. А также стайка покрашенных за пару вечером зомби, присоединятся к тем, что уже ждут своего часа в клубе.

Wanted to do a Zombtober for myself, but actually did wery little this month. Repainted one of chinese cars. Looks somewhat nicer than default paintjob. Will add some weathering once some more cars are done. Also a bit of zombies to kill, which will make a good addition to the ones already in the club.

I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse.

Покрасил банду гангстеров и грабителей банков на Pulp Alley. Хотя, впрочем, применений у этих фигурок может быть и больше. А пока вот несколько постановочных фото.

Painted a few gangster or bank robbers types for Pulp Alley. Though there can be more applications to that figures. There is few staged photos with police officers.

Pulpification

Few more characters for Pulp Alley. Statuesque miniatures are superb pieces. this particular three reminded me of noir style Witcher fan art. Colors are not 100% match, but hope I caught the style.

Also a group of nazi henchmen for weird war gaming. Going to use this for a demonstration game of Pulp Alley.

A pulp adventures will not be complete without some pulpish creatures. This will do great as scenario plot points or monster encounters.

And a little bit for the progressing terrain. Picture frames for mansion pieces. This will make walls more alive. A plane is also a valuable piece. Who knows when you need one? Unassembled for the ease of painting.

Crapy Photo Time!

I was struggling to make my usual photos even worse.
This time my victims were Pulp Alley heroes, unnamed woman reporter/detective and pistol armed catholic priest.

Also some random bits, for generic plot points.

Curse of the Sands AAR

There was a sunny day in the desert, when winds that rule the dunes revealed old ruins in a place no one expected them to be. Not long till Miskatonic University expedition came there to investigate. And not long, till any communication with them were lost.

A few days later, three separate groups were aiming at the same very ruins for their own reasons. The archeologists from american Miskatonic University, who were summoned from homeland, going to investigate the disappearance. The soldiers of British Expeditionary force led by Professor, with mysterious orders from command. And finally, Andrey and Anton, the Russian immigrants, opportunists and occasional grave robbers.

Five plot points were set in and near the camp, alluring adventurers with treasures and valuable information on the ruins. However, scattered bodies were indicating there is something more in the ruins. Something sinister

British forces started with the initiative, rushing forward to nearest ruins. The gang of Sikh soldiers lost few men in a perilous ruin. And a few moments later they were scattered by the fire of grave robbers.

The harmless lady found first point of interest. Some kind of entrance to the ruins caught her attention, were she were not so lucky to reveal its true nature the same turn.

Archeologists cautiously closed to the ruins on the other side. More occasional shots echoed across the camp. One of the grave robbers were shot few times and assaulted by trusty british dog. Finally he dropped dead, and his companion decided to get to a more discrete position.

Meanwhile the combatant closed on one another. Some of them received flesh wounds but continued to fight.  The next plot point were revealed to be expedition leaders tent. Archeologist got valuable information there but suddenly on of them were shot and dropped the paper he gathered. His companion recovered the papers but the man were gone.

The only remaining grave robber made a few shots, but it were obvious he got little to do here alone. He retreated soon.

The archeologist girl finally searched the ruins. Grabbing her findings she returned to her friends. A native African volunteers from the british force closed on the other plot points. Only to be shot a while later.

Finally british professor made a terrible discovery in one of the tents. The mummy recovered from the tomb by the expedition were not so dead. Empty eyes gazed on the unfortunate man. Suddenly one of the archeologists fire a shot on mummy, perhaps saving life of the professor. The dead queens wrath fallen on three American adventurers.

Meanwhile professor and his companion were trembling before ancient evil. They decided to leave the fight for the americans, while they grab the remaining plot points getting the information of the ruins and some ancient relics from the ruins.

Eventually the six turn ended. Archeologists escaped the mummy with two plot point. British force were more lucky, getting three points with them. The mummy ended alone in the robbed ruins.

No doubt, eventually she will find her treasures and take revenge on the thieves.

The game were pretty fun. I was organizing it as GM and mummy player. Of three other players two were new to Pulp Alley, though rules appeared to be simple enought for beginners.

Also want to say thanks to our wargaming colleagues from local gaming club for burrowing their victorian miniatures for that game.

Dive into Pulp

Irregular hobby activities turned this time into corrupting some lovely pulp miniatures by paint.

The cultist type guy is GW astropath. Now he is perhaps a high ranking cult leader, who traded his eyesight for sinister knowledge of occultism or "true" history. Next to him is a Reaper dancing girl, for courtesan/entertainer or a plot point for Pulp Alley games. And the last is the Captain. Who knows when you need a ship in pulp adventures? Maybe he will go as a captain for the tugboat mentioned earlier.

What is a pulp without sinister enemies and monsters? GW queen Khalida is a perfect fit for an ancient mummy. Going to use her for an upcoming Pulp Alley campaign if we ever want to play one.

This three are a very Lovecraftian monsters made by Wyrd Miniatures. This going to represent Deep Ones in my games. Accidentally i painted them in the same color as the mummy, much to my own surprise.

Some new terrain stuff, made in pulp style. Roof accessories, telephone booth, old cabinet and a gothic sarcophagus.

A little side project for a friend of mine. Full set will have wound markers numbered from 1 to 5 wounds, made for a square bases.
