When you wargame in 54mm you have to know when to mass purchase. You never know what era will present itself in the toy stores and dollar ships.
Buck a Bag.
Conestoga Wagon, with driver! Fire pit and tripod of beans in a pot. Some 60mm possibly useful cowboys and Indians.
Bag O' Cats. Well actually small pets in 54mm and 90mm.
More on this one later.
The bags have mixes of figures. The wagon, fire pit and tripod are consistent and of useful quality in setting up a scene of a wagon train.
What made me buy the lot was the fact that the wagons had drivers. I have found wagons in bags of cowboys before but this was the first instance of a useable driver figure on the bench. Now the action can be wagon train "under way" or we can circle the wagons and defend a lager.
Cowboy.
Mixed figures in each bag.
Two bags opened for display.
These cats are essentially useless. However I also game in 90mm medieval and these could be used as scenic devices but that is a stretch. Anyone know of a good cat based RPG?
The dogs are what made me purchase three of these bags.
I am not a breed specialist but this is a good bird dog?
This brute will be added to my untouchables police set.
As well as these two tracking dogs. I now have a K9 unit for my police. These ought to paint up wonderfully and I don't know of any 54mm dogs I have ever seen before. Anyone?
Time to track some criminals.
Great dogs for a dollar.
You never know what will pop up in a dollar tree.
Thanks for looking in. Leave a comment for encouragement.
Apologies if this posts twice; I just had a hiccup trying to pos my comment. I don't know if you were serious or not, but there are at least two cat RPGs, Call of Cathulu and Cat: A Little Game about Little Heroes. The latter can be found here: http://johnwickpresents.com/product/cat-a-little-game-about-little-heroes/ I can't seem to find a link for Cathulu though.
ReplyDeleteThanks John. I was recalling the game of mice rpg as I typed. I am assuming that a cat rpg probably has them more anthropomorphic and weaponized. These cats will likely haunt my Schleich castle. Cheers.
ReplyDeleteSir my cats take exception; useless indeed! What about toy mice for them to catch?
ReplyDeleteAs for the dogs they could be used for war dogs especially in ancient and Medieval games.

ReplyDeleteKen, it never hurts to have some spare plastic figures laying around for when inspiration hits
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you remember old Ripley's Believe it Or Not! comic books, but they were filled with stories about hell hounds, ghost dogs, wolves, all set in medieval/renaissance settings. Well most of them.
ReplyDeleteI always liked the idea of a quest scenario menaced by a random or flow charted devil dog like the bharghest, or a loup garou from the Auvergne or Jira mountains in France.
Cool. I will have to consider that as part of the wargames for these dogs.
DeleteGreat purchase which will undoubtedly come in handy.

Great finds. I love browsing in the toy section of 2nd hand shops or charity shops or recycling shops ... always something useful to be found.

ReplyDeleteI painted some cats as gold statues for my cat worshipping 'Patrans'.
