However, I am also regularly guilty of over-ambition. I might make a gang of 10 figures, but acquire the material to make 10 more which sit unfinished long after I've completed a campaign with the first 10. This pair of figures is a pretty extreme example - when I was originally planning my Helmawr gang at the end of 2019, I decided I wanted some unique character figures. So I commissioned John Pickford to sculpt me a leader and a champion. He created me a pair of wonderful characters in early 2020. And I only got round to painting them a few weeks ago.

However when the <a href="https://28-mag.com/">28 Mag</a> team asked if I was interested in writing an article about gaming in the multiverse, I thought it was a great opportunity to add some new figures and characters. As the photos of newly painted figures in the article are just illustrative, I thought it would be good to give the figures a little more airtime here on the blog!</p><p><br></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWunZTCf25KvVhYyG7PVTWcnEwC2xXqXnpWVrpZDNi6QswsoeBmnEpr6S6wgl4drArzT5DC7q0RBsbIeaw8SKc16Kn1JWr-gKfWi7p5EefZ6FoW49H5Z1rld1zgwTcQPTMbmEq-Rmp23lgf38_JtviUTBNVZs8Kkqgfq80kDNBH5582ckZA8PPVjNbfw/s2856/EC1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2068" data-original-width="2856" height="290" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWunZTCf25KvVhYyG7PVTWcnEwC2xXqXnpWVrpZDNi6QswsoeBmnEpr6S6wgl4drArzT5DC7q0RBsbIeaw8SKc16Kn1JWr-gKfWi7p5EefZ6FoW49H5Z1rld1zgwTcQPTMbmEq-Rmp23lgf38_JtviUTBNVZs8Kkqgfq80kDNBH5582ckZA8PPVjNbfw/w400-h290/EC1.JPG" width="400"></a></div><br><span></span><a href="http://magpieandoldlead.blogspot.com/2023/05/eternal-champions-elric-moonglum.html#more">Read more »</a>axiomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11598298167403563382noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560709119022789110.post-31794941804487866072023-05-23T10:59:00.002+01:002023-05-23T10:59:21.885+01:00The Rolling Messiah (Colony 87 by Crooked Dice)When I handed over the reins of Colony 87 to <a href="https://crooked-dice.co.uk/product-category/colony-87/">Crooked Dice</a> a few years back, I didn't know what to expect in terms of the future range.
