11+1: Sgt. Nick Stone


Positively the iconic hard-boiled hero with a pulse rifle, his futuristic armor worn down from a dozen enemy engagements. Most of the figs I pick up for use in one game (or more!) but at best he could be a Pulp City minion, with the games I currently play. I have an oblique idea to use the IMEF Marines as CCC proxies for Mercs, but that's what we call a long-range plan. Couldn't resist this sculpt, though.



The mini is from Reaper's Chronoscope line (which I love.) Also pictured is an initial paint test for one of the barriers I picked up at Historicon from Acheson Creations. The stone lantern terrain piece is from the pet store aquarium aisle, because that is how I roll. Keeping detail on the wall and the lantern scale-neutral, as I think they will work for both 15mm and 28mm.

    1. Up until a couple years back, I was a '28mm only forever' gamer. But now that I've branched into 15mm as well, I keep a keen eye out for anything that can work for both. Double plus bonus if it also can be used in multiple settings.

    1. Thanks! I'm not great painted, but I am learning to fake it.
