Lit MACLUNKY -- The Lit Forum Maclunky Thread, v3

I love how a friend of mine reacted to the cover.

"So a Ringwraith Darth Vader and Eowyn-Elsa are your protagonists?"

 

Have asked the library to take in some of them.

 

Thanks Gamiel!

I mean that.

 

That is great. As an aspiring author myself (one who'll be sending a manuscript to a publisher this week), I'm so excited to see another author's success. Congrats, my friend.

 

Some Hinterland Miniatures figures painted by different people from http://hinterlandminiatures.weebly.com/customer-gallery.html

The comments are from the web page

-----------------------------------

Matt Leahy (aka: Dr. Mathias)​

Matt provided the art work for the Autohusaren (which name he also provided), and got one of the first castings, which he painted with his usual flair.

Autohusaren​

I wanted to show some additional images of the Autohusaren, and this seemed the best place to do so. In the picture to the left you can see how tall the automaten is, [....]. Comparing my autohusaren to Matt Leahy's above, you can see that he can be posed in various ways.

Scott Lesche​

I love the sugar sands where these sailors, painted by Scott Lesche, line up to face off against the nearing war canoes of some dreaded cannibal tribe from a nearby island.

Tym​

I've always been a fan of Tym's mustard-and-blue paintjobs, as worn by the Hussars, Cavalry Command pack below left. On the right is his recently-acquired Hussars, Gun Crew (with a gun from Tiger Miniatures).

Martin Feller
Here's another tight group of sailors, painted by Martin Feller.



Buck Surdu
Like many a gamer and painter, I suspect, what really gets my juices flowing is a good conversion. I also like to see Hinterland minis recognized for their greatest VSF potential, which is why I've made the cavalry figures available without horses. Buck shows their potential with these Death Jaws-riding hussars. See more of them here: http://bucksurdu.com/blog/?p=1392

Tom Hutchinson​

Tom threw his Hinterland cavalry miniatures into a VBCW fracas recently. I don't know where Hinterland would be without the currently very popular Very British Civil War genre.

Ray Rivers​

This great collection of Hinterland sailors was entered in the Lead Adventure Forum's, Lead Painters League VI, and is part of Ray's huge Egyptian Army, pictured below.​

​

​

Froggy​

Froggy, from the Lead Adventure Forum, is clearly the master of Hinterland conversions. To the left is a unit of Terror Bird-mounted Hussars, while the picture below highlights a tripod.

Greg Novak​

Greg sent these beautifully painted sailors, posing in their natural element.​

​

​

Parasol Prophet​

I haven't seen too many Command Groups yet (and, alas, haven't painted my own). This one, submitted by Parasol Prophet, is looking great in red and cream.​

Dr. Mathias​

Dr. Mathias scratchbuilt a great steam carriage for the ladies, and entered the group in the Lead Adventure Forum's Lead Painter's League. There's some very fine conversion work in there as well. ​

​

​

Curadh​

This is one of Curadh's entries in the fifth edition of the Lead Painter's League, at the Lead Adventure Forum. I like how the dark green of their uniforms contrasts with the tan grass at their feet. ​

​

​

Buck Surdu​

This image is from the upcoming The GASLIGHT Compendium, by Christopher Palmer and Buck Surdu. This is the largest force of Hinterland minis I've seen so far.​

Captain Blood​

This collection was painted by Captain Blood, who can be found by that name on many a historical miniatures forum.

So, I have gotten my hands on the old AD&D Deities & Demigods, the one with the chapters about the Cthulhu mythos and Melnionéan mythos.

 

Woot!

I love Cthulhu punching for SOME reason.

 

So jealous...

 

Moist charisma.

 

But which scent is canon? Mango? It's mango.

 

I had a Zuckuss one of those, and a couple of Jawas. They smelled different... Zuckuss was black raspberry IIRC. I had them on my bookshelf because they were actually pretty good air fresheners but they started to melt...

 

Actually, LAJ_FETT send me a PM about this earlier today. I'm tempted to buy one and leave it in my guest bathroom, just to hear peoples reactions!

Lin-Manuel Miranda joins Kingkiller adaption

Holy moly.... wonderful news

 

Aw I'm sorry about that, Findswoman! Cancer is... argh. It's awful. Beyond words.

 

I bet Jello hates that from the name alone.

 

Fantasy author Joe Dever, who wrote the Lone Wolf gamebooks, has died aged 60.

Sad news. He was younger than I thought.

Just finished the 4th Vader Trade.

Man, I am so glad I took everyone's recommendations on this.

Here's my review of the first trade.

From the URL I thought that was going to have something to do with how Obi-Wan and Anakin literally flew half a ship in ROTS. But still entertaining.
