Before I go off again for who knows how long two things.

(1) Total views of CBO stand at over 15 million (all sources)

(2) As I thought, Google+ is blocking any post links sent to that page.

Oh, and, yes, it looks like Yahoo’s new owners intend to kill off Yahoo Groups this year. And these people wonder why they lose users support?

A Little Snippet About The Trial!

This story was written/drawn in 1995 for a proposed Egmont UK project but by that time they were losing things with more people coming in who had no idea what a comic was! The Project title was “Jag 96”.

The story takes place after the whole D-Gruppe Zeit-Geist Saga and sees five heroes -three of them D-Gruppe members- whisked off to The Cosmic Fulcrum and placed on trial -hence the title. There is a lot more involved but origins are revealed for the first time and that of German hero Wavell should be a pleasant surprise.

When originally written, there were hints and clues that would evolved into the original Return of the Gods. There was also a hint at what was then a VERY embryonic idea -“The Days of Darkness” which has since become The Green Skies.

Mentioning Zeit-Geist and hinting at The Return of the Gods is not all you will find when Black Tower Super Heroes 2-7 appear. There are hints at and build up to The Green Skies and all of this new or up-dated (totally re-lettered) material is intermixed with some great UK Golden Age strips and some took a very long time per page to clean up, re-letter and make printable -remember some of these strips are over 80 years old and not printed on the best paper in the first place!

Lizardmen, Zombies, Elves, Dwarves and The Legion of Nightmare

I got an email on one of my groups asking about wargaming terrain -look on the blog roll and you’ll see ideas from Miniatures Mash Up. But on You Tube just search 40 K or D&D or just wargaming terrain.

John, a died-in-the-wool 1/72nd (25mm) gamer for 30 years (add another 20 to that to catch up with me!) was asking why no one does fantasy miniatures in this scale. They do!

Caesar Miniatures have Elves, Dwarves, Adventurers and Undead and you can see what they look like on their page:

Model Hobbies carries the entire Dark Alliance 1/72nd scale fantasy line -dwarves, eles, Amazons as well as modern zombies. Check the page out here:

Dark Alliance 1/72 Heavy Warriors of the Dead Cavalry # PAL72014

Ykreol produced Legion of Nightmare and I know I’ve seen boxes on Ebay, at online stores.

Make your own wargames fantasy terrain or whatever but these are out there and if you follow Miniature Mash-Ups doctrine you can buy and adapt a great many other toys and items for gaming!

And I ought to mention Luke’s Affordable Painting Service where, if you are on a budget, you can learn how to make terrain -including water features- very cheaply!
