New for Pulp City - Terror Cotta Warriors + The Green Emperor

Two new Supremes have been shown for Pulp City. The first is the Terror Cotta Warrior for the Jade Cult.
A high-tec robot disguised as an ancient statue. Sent into Pulp City via shipping containers by the Green Emperor where they wait to be activated when he needs them.

The Terror Cotta Warriors (TCWs) are Level 2 Tank Villains. They are different to other villains though as they are the first Supreme in the game you can take multiples of!
When fielding the Green Emperor in a Jade Cult team, you can take up to 3 of these nasty creations!
To help tell the difference between them, they have 3 different faces. A tech face, statue face and the underlying circuitry. (below)
They also come with an alternate spear arm. (not shown)

As with other Pulp City recent releases, they are VERY close to the original artwork. 

The TCWs have an awesome, if a little gruesome, background story. Check it out >HERE<

They are due out this month as part of the new release schedule, 2 blisters a month, if all goes well along side the Green Emperor himself.

The Green Emperor is a Level 3 Leader Villain for the Jade Cult and a new threat to Pulp City itself.
A Dragon spirit that keep reliving an endless cycle, this incarnation has broken free!
I don't want to give away too much about him as the background is fantastic. You can read it >HERE<

Below are a side shot of the amazingly painted model and the original artwork to show just how close to the design the mini is.

What do you think of them?

The Green Emperors background mentions some other character like the Tiger, Phoenix and Queen Oni. Do you think these will appear in the game in the future?

The Pulp City Supreme Edition Open Beta is still running. Head over to the Pulp City Forums and let them know what you think of the new rules.

(Apologies for the spacing in this post. Something went wrong and I cant work out how to fix it!)

On the Painting Table - Monsters and Crusaders

Seeing I am manically painting every hour I can at the moment, meaning there isn't very much of interest getting blogged on here, I though I would at least let readers know what I'm actually doing.

Two Pulp City teams for the PAW 2012 con in 2 weeks.
The villainous 'Monsters of Mayhem' and the heroic 'Caped Crusaders'
Pics from here on in are of the official Pulp City studio models (click for larger views) With a note on who they are and how I'm painting them.

'Monsters of Mayhem' Level 9 Villains

Supreme Zed - Hero from another dimension who was killed and resurrected as a zombie by Dr Tenebrous to be part of his evil supreme team. Now almost indestructible.
Painting- Going for the obvious 'Superman' on this one. But dead.

Loup Garou II - Permanently transformed werewolf created by Doc Zombie. Second form after the first was killed by Red Riding Hoodoo.
Painting - Seeing this model can also be a Hero, I am going for the classic X-Man 'Beast'

Sanguine - Head of a dark corporation by day, rooftop leaping vampire by night.
Painting - My own take on the character in black, red and purple

Mourn - Eastern dictator covered in the tortured souls of his victims after being locked away in a different  dimensions prison
Painting - Going for a dark purple and faded look.

Tritonius - Half human, half Ulthar alien that draws power from water.
Painting - the 'Hulk' with a water theme. Green skin, purple shorts (obviously) and added blue.

Kitty Cheshire - Disappearing cat-woman that appeared from the 'Otherside' of a silver mirror. The only thing left after Dr.Hatter's asylum burnt down.
Painting - X-Mens 'Nightcrawler'. Minus the clothes

'Caped Crusader' Level 9 Heros

Solar - An ancient tiara gave him flight, strength and powers of the sun. But also a dark side
Painting - The 'Sentry'. With the power of a thousand exploding suns! And his own dark side.

Perun - Slavic god of thunder
Painting - This choice almost made itself. Anyone heard of 'Thor'?

Trail - Doctor and extremely powerful psychic. Uses his own technique called 'Trailblaseing' to set hallucinations in place in an enemies mind.
Painting - Macfarlanes 'Spawn'. Sometimes known a Hellspawn. The cape made me think of him the first time I spotted this model.

Harrier - Young flying mutant. Created by and hunting down Sanguine after he killed her parents.
Painting - Being a flying youngster, my Marvel fascination led me straight to 'Rouge'

Skyline - Scientist that created gadgets to help him control gravity in small areas. Then found himself fighting street crime.
Painting - As a rooftop vigilante he doesn't want to be seen. Black and midnight blue it is then.

Jade Hawk - Wronged by the legal system she has taken it upon herself to put away the people that deserve it
Painting - Another rooftop crime fighter and her name gave me a mix of black and dark greens.

And that's why I have paint up to my elbows!

Hendybadger awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

Hmmmm......... Its gone quiet................

 

 (What sort of blog would this be without a funny cat pic eh? )

I know the blog has been a little quieter than usual over the last week or 2, but I though I would pop in quickly and let you all know why.
A small group of us are putting on a Pulp City participation game at the PAW 2012 convention in a couple of weeks. This means there has been a lot to do so everything will be ready.
Mainly it has been painting. Supremes, buildings, portaloos, fountains and more.
Then there is working out exactly what we want to use. Currently we have 4 teams to play about with. Blood Watch, the Coven and 2 of my own creations - the Monsters of Mayhem and the Caped Crusaders.
(more on those last 2 as the minis are finished)

At the same time we have been putting together a couple of battle reports to follow on from the last one - The Lesser of Two Evils.
These are going to become a continuous 'comic book' on the Tales of a Tabletop Skirmisher' blog.
This is where we would love a bit of input from yourselves.
The series needs a name. Any ideas?
How would you like to see the reports laid out? The same as the first or maybe looking more like an actual comic book?

Finally on the Pulp City side of things there have been some BIG projects. Shhhhh...... they are a secret

While all this is going on, Loudo (Andy) has started teaching me Malifaux. The Dreamer and Lord Chompy Bits are sooooo much fun. Hope to have more on that soon as well. Painting, reports etc.

So there we have it.
Any questions?

Pulp City - Raccoon, Ninjas and Full Release Wave Minis Shown

Pulp City has shown the full and official pictures for ALL the models in their next release wave today. YAY!
There are some very impressive and stunning models in there as well. (click pics to view larger)
I know I have shown these as each appeared but this is the whole set together.

Starting with Tanuki (above)
A Lvl1 Villain Raccoon. Part of the Jade Cult and a master of potions.
Its such a characterful looking mini. And I love that fact that he is wearing a mask. The one animal that has a natural mask chose to wear another! And the oriental feel has been captured perfectly.


His box partner is going to be the Shadow Mask

Another Lvl1 Villain of the Jade Cult.
But the Shadow Mask has appeared in the background already. Quite far back as well.
His position in the Emperors court is the arch enemy of Chronin from the Heavy Metal team. You can read more about that >>HERE<<
I am a big fan of his 'claws'. Almost like a familiar metal boned mutant. Which makes my own colour scheme very easy to pick. And this is such a dynamic pose. Really gives a sense of action.

The second box for the Jade Cult has 3 models in.
First up - The Green Serpent

A Lvl 2 Villain Supreme.
The daughter of the Green Emperor himself and master of the blade.
Another beautiful models. The sculpt looks perfect and I cant wait to get this one in my own hands.
Instead of another Supreme, the Green Serpent is going to be boxed with some Minions.

The Jade Cult Ninjas (I known I have shown 2 of these before but thought it would be nice to see them all in one place)

Another set of VERY dynamic models. And what is a comic book world without a ninja army?
The sets come with 2 bodies, 4 heads and 4 pairs of weapons. All can be mixed and matched giving you an almost endless amount of combinations.
They will also be sold on the online Pulp City store in packs of 2, without the Green Serpent, so you can field them as part of the Way of the Fist and Blade.

Whats the Way of Fist and Blade you ask?
Well its another new sub-faction with these next releases. And it has also been mentioned that its a way to mix a very unlikely group of Heros in a martial arts alliance. Including Chimp-Chi, Chronin and Sgt Bale


The first mini for The Way of Fist and Blade is Foxxy Blade

A Lvl 1 Supreme (I think) and master of bladed weapons.
A wonderful looking mini that gives a very different look and feel to the others in the range but, at the same time, fits in perfectly with them.

Foxxys box partner is Crimson Oni

A Lvl2 (again, I think) and also Morfs avatar over of the Pulp City Forums
"Bringing the kung-fu violence to the Pulp City streets! When one of the shijin, the Phoenix, had fallen to the Black Beast, Oni was there to pick up its feather before the fire died. He got transformed from a martial artist into a divine fighting machine!"
And that's exactly how he looks. Pure power and technique to deliver justice to any Villains he meets.
There is also the added touch of the 'Phoenix Feather' on the back of his belt.

To finish off the set of releases are 2 more evil beings to fill out the ranks of the Necroplane sub-faction.

Night Fright + Leech

A very different model compared to other Supremes.
Not only is he a Supreme riding a sky-board, the board is also a Supreme.
Night Fright (rider) and Leech (board) are 2 Lvl 1 Supremes in 1 model.
Its a stunning model that looks even better that the artwork in the rulebook. Not only am I looking forward to getting this mini to fill out my Necroplane force, I'm excited to see how the combination is going to work.

You cant have a small fast guy without a big nasty one though. Enter....
Doom Train!

A Lvl2 Necroplane creation that has been haunting the dreams of, Heavy Metals, Iron Train.
Is it a clone? An alternate dimension Iron Train? Maybe a zombie from the future?
Which ever it is, I LOVE IT!!!!!
My favourite models out of this entire set. The look and feel are very creepy. And it fits in perfectly with the rest of the Necroplane faction.

Well, that was alot to take in!
These models should be available to buy very soon.
What do you think of them?

On a similar topic, well the same game anyway, I'm on a search.
Pulp City have released 6 Ltd Ed minis in the past (that I know of). Reporter June Summers, the Red Baron, Herald, Elder Grimm, Hulking Grimm and Driller Grimm.
I have been called an OCD collector for any ranges I use. I want every model there is.
With Pulp City this has turned out out be every mini they have produced. Whoops :)
I have a Hulking Grimm but I'm still hunting the other 5. This is where you may be able to help.
Do you or does someone you know have any of these they would be willing to part with?
In trades or via VERY good offers on Paypal?
If the answer was a yes, please contact me on here, Facebook, or my email - hendybadger@aol.com

So, thats all for now.
Hendybadger Awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!!!!!!!!

Pulp City is Invaded by Ninja Assassins! (updated)

The first of the Jade Cult Assassins has been posted up today on the Pulp City Facebook page. (Click pics to view larger)
A new type of Minion that can be taken with the other members of the Jade Cult, Heros including Crimson Oni and ,Im not certain on this last one, maybe Villains in general?
They come in pairs but the kits have a huge amount of options.
2 bodies, 4 heads and 4 weapon sets. Thats a whole lot of options.

 A teaser image was posted a while back that shows a couple of the other parts.

I have also dug up the concept image that was on the PC fourm a while back. Not gratly detailed but I think the minis have captured the look, feel and movement perfectly.

I think these model look amazing. Very dynamic and wonderfuly detailed. Really looking forward to picking up a set or 2 for my Heros and Villains. Got some colour schemes in mind and I have even seen all the parts yet.
You will be able to take 1 card of them at a time, thats 2 minis, but when the Green Emporer is released he will be able to take alot more of them. A whole army of Ninjas? Yes please!

The Jade Cult Assassins are due out with the next wave of Pulp City Supremes and will be boxed with the Green Emporers daughter, the Green Serpent (shown below)

Over on the Pen and Lead Blog there is also a quick word from Morf, the head of Pulp City, on these models.

"… the batch of sculpts from James and I took them immediately to MaxMini for casting.
I got to say this is just one of my favorite batches: hyper dynamic (hey, it’s ninjas!) super sexy minis!

There are two ninja Supremes (male and female), multipart ninjas (2 body types, 8 weapons and arms, 4 heads – all very user friendly as they hold almost with no glue) and the Green Emperor who is just really menacing as he draws his sword.

But it’s not just villains – Heroes will be able to use ninjas as well, and all Hero players will be happy to see a whole new team building option that gives special bonuses if you build your team with the martial arts theme (yes, that means Chronin side by side with Chimp Chi)."

Sounds like the new models are going to give alot more options to all players. Really like the idea of a martial arts Hero team!

This is shaping up to be an amazing wave of releases for Pulp City.
With the above models there will also be Foxxy Blade, Crimson Oni, Doom Train, Night Fright, Tanuki and the Shadow Mask.

Is you want to find out more about these minis then head over to the PC Forum

 On a different topic,
If you are an email subscriber to this blog but this update hasnt arrived then please check out my last post >>HERE<<

Im off to work on some more city scenery.

New Pulp City Supreme Artwork - Yes its a Racoon!

 

Over the holiday weekend, Pulp City posted up the artwork for a new Supreme. (click to view larger)

His name? Tanuki
A Racoon member of the Jade Cult. A new sub-faction coming with the next wave of releases.
Master of magic powders and potions.
Probably a Villain (but I could be wrong)
Thats about all thats known for him so far though.

Buy hey, its an eastern themed Racoon super villain chemist with a mask. I dont need to know any more than that to know I like him!

Tanuki is going to be paired up in a box with Chronins arch nemesis. The Shadow Mask

Im really looking forward to this next wave of Supremes (The Pulp City name for Supers)
Hopefully out soon.

Until then head over and check out the Pulp City site and thier stunning range of minis.

Hendybadger AWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

New Crossover Minis Super Villain - Ram Jam, The Muscle

As you may know, Crossover Miniatures are currently running a Kickstarter campaign to create a range of interchangable Super Heros, Villains and Henchmen in 28mm.
You can find the full details >>HERE<<

3 of the 8 main models have been seen so far. But today they have announced a 4th!
(click pics to view larger)

Ram Jam - Villanous Muscle

A big and bulky Villain for all of your muscle needs.
He has 3 head options. A horned head, Hockey mask and a creepy Goulish head.
Definatly going to get atleast 3 of these myself. I can already think up ideas for each version.

Ram Jam is slightly taller than other models in the range but is MUCH bulkier. As you can see below with him standing next to the first Super Villain.

There is still a slight chance though that these stunning minis wont see the light of day.
Crossover needs your support on thier Kickstarter Page. With around 20 days to go before the deadline they need to raise about 1/4 of the funding to make this project happen.
So come on Supers and RPG gamers alike. And anyone else that likes the look of these minis.
Lets get these things in production!

Until next time,
Hendybadger Awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!
