I'm going to go backwards with my 7TV collection. Largely because I have photos of the more recent stuff but not much of the earlier stuff. For those who don't know, 7TV is a game that allows you to recreate your favourite scenes from films and tv, particularly classic tv series of the 1970-80s. But the conceit is that you're actually playing the making of the film or tv episode, rather than the scene itself - so your faithful re-enactment of Dr Who v the Daleks is played out like an episode of a tv series, rather than a "straight" skirmish game. The idea is that immense hilarity ensues.
Anyway, at the beginning of the year the boys and I watched the Indiana Jones and the Mummy films and I spent much of the next 6 months building up a "pulp" collection that covered these movies, Beau Geste, and a number of other things. That's coming next. These skeletons grew out of the idea of a guard for a mummy character - rather than the standard Egyptian-looking skeleton guard, I wanted skeletons that looked as if they represented the dead of the Middle East over the past thousand years - so a mix of armour and weapons. Most of these figures were bought off ebay - I was having a bit of an "Oldhammer" moment but did enjoy painting these. I think they are a mix of Citadel and Marauder Miniatures. I base all my 7TV figures on grey bases - this is largely because the figures will be used in all manner of settings and I've noticed that a lot of 7TV players use grey as a "neutral" base colour. The figures can also fit in very easily with my "Frostgrave" collection. This is the first of a trio of fantasy postings I'll make over the next few days.
9 figures. Painted May 2024.
