The Buildings, The Boat, The Baron and The Badger

So I have finally hit the grand old age of 28. And on the the same day the blog hits 70,000 views. How great is that?
Thanks to all viewers, readers, followers and random clickers.

Now, to the point of the post.
Great hobby prezzies from the most awesome family in the Mulit-Verse!
I have a feeling they know I love Pirates, Supers, Legends of the High Seas and Pulp City

From my in-laws, The start of my planned Pirate Port from Legends of the High Seas. Buildings from Games of War

 More pirate goodness from my own parents. The 10 gun British Brig from Laser Dream Works
19" deck and a full 30" long when rigged. The new flagship of my fleet.

Then there was my amazing wifey. Mrs Badger.
She has been very secretive for a while and today I found out why.
My biggest Pulp City Grail. The rarest of PC minis in existence.
The RED BARON!!!!
I have no idea how she found one. And no matter what I do she wont tell me. I'm just happy she did.

Mrs Badger didn't stop there though.
Knowing I am a huge fan on Pulp City, she had the owner (Maciej) help her arrange something special.

Then she went another step further. Leon Mallet and Devon Peterson from the PC Game Design Team created a rules card for Hendybadger.

Just need to find or create a Pirate Badger mini to use now.
Actually, she had that organised as well.
Sculpted by Jarek Smolka, the Hendybadger himself!

It doesn't get much better than being put into your favourite game!

I would like to say a massive thank you to all of my family for today. And especially to my wife for such an amazing, once in a lifetime gift.
I also want to that the Pulp City team including James, Melvin, Leon, Devon and Maciej for creating the most amazing Supreme ever!

But it might not be only me getting a gift today.
If the blog hits 100 followers, I will be giving away a brand new Green Serpent Ninja miniature!
(only 8 followers to go!)

To finish off, a 'little' something special. Maciej posted a picture in the Citizens of Pulp City Facebook fan group showing a brand new Grimm!
Supreme Grimm!

As it says in the badgers rules,
Hendybadger awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Avengers Assemble(d) + PC Grail found! Looks abit Grimm though.

Following on from yesterdays post >>HERE<< I have an update to show you.

Avengers Assemble(d)

I have started to get paint on a couple and they are all tied together by using Post Apoc base toppers from Fenris Games.
I will post up progress as and when I have it!

On a more important note, I have managed to track down 3 more of my Pulp City Grails.
Limited or un-released models.
This time its the Grimm! All 3 of them!
Hulking Grimm, Elder Grimm and Driller Grimm.

Looking forward to painting these little guys up and trying them in a game.
That 4 out of 6 Grails now. Only 2 left to find.
June Summers and the Red Baron. Do you know anyone that has one of these lying around?

Hendybadger awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

 

The Herald! 1 of my 6 Pulp City Grails......

A couple of months ago I decided I wanted to collect, paint and use the ENTIRE Pulp City miniature range. At that point I had half pf them anyway.
Although when I told my wife this, she said she knew I was going to do this when I received my very first order.

The normal Supremes and Minions wouldn't be hard to get, Just a little saving and a little time,
But I found out there were 6 other Pulp City models that weren't for sale.
The 3 Grimm Minions, Reporter June Summers, the Golden Age Red Baron and 'The Herald'

The first 5 had been for sale in the past, Which means there was a small chance I could find somebody willing to sell them on. (Still working on that)
The time travelling cyborg 'Herald' was different.

It had NEVER been for sale and never will be. They were given to the demo/promotion volunteers for Pulp City , themselves known as Heralds. Very similar to the PP Press Gang.
The Herald programme isn't running anymore though. There is talk of it starting again in the future on the Pulp City Forums so I posted my interest because of a HUGE love of this game and the fact I have spent months trying to get more people playing.

After our demo games a couple of us put on at the PAW 2012 convention, I sent the pics over to Maciej (owner of Pulp Monsters) just so he could see what we had been doing.
Afew days later I had an email...........

It was a thank you for the work I had been putting in to promote the game. At the con and on the blog here.
That was nice, he didn't have to send that. Not a lot of companies would.
The next part I had to read 3 or 4 times as I didn't believe it to start with.

"There will be a Herald in your next order"

WOW! YAY! BAM!
I was over the moon and couldn't say thanks enough in my reply and would like to say thanks on here as well!
I hadn't been promoting the game to try and get something out of it. Only because I find it the most enjoyable tabletop game out there and want others to try it as well. If you like mini games and super heroes, you will LOVE Pulp City.

The parcel arrived. The regular Supremes were placed to one side as I opened the package.
To me this may as well have been made out of platinum! (Or vibranium or adamantium)

As soon as I came home from work, the files and glue came out. Followed up by a thin black wash to bring out the detail. (the painting table is a little full so this had to do for now)

And here he is, in all of his time travelling, cyborg assassin glory (click pics to view larger)

2 days later the Herald entered Pulp City. He performed amazingly well. Stopping Solar in his tracks single handed and averting a disastrous future.

Paint will be on the mini soon. But theres the 2012 11+1 challenge and Pulp City mini exchange to sort first.
I will also update on the 5 other Grails. When, or if, I manage to get my hands on them.

Hendybadger awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!
