Blackwater Gulch kickstarter items received

I received my first shipment a while back, two buildings, from my pledge on last year's Kickstarter campaign for Blackwater Gulch.

Monday morning on my way out the door to work I found another package lying on my doorstep. Not having time to go through it, I tossed it in my backpack to await cataloging...either during my lunch hour or at home when I returned.

I went in for a Marshall pledge of $150, but added on some extras as well. Here's what I got.

Starter gang boxes:
-  Banditos Mexicanos
-  Bloodwolf Tribe
-  Widowmakers
-  Tranquility Crew
-  Wilde's Rangers

Unlocked extras:
- 6 colt-45 dice (these are a lot nicer than I'd expected!)
- The Norwegian
- John Blackwood
- Mickey Finn
- Kurt Wyatt
- Doctor Kilmer
- Nevada Dave
- Father Al
- Marshall Stewart
- Rooster Morrison
- Clinton Wales
- Doc Lloyd

I also splurged out for some add-ons:
- Secret Weapon bases: #1 (desert mesa), and #2 rocky bluff
- Shamus McFox: an unreached stretch goal that they later decided to make available as a $10 add-on
- Gamecraft bundle: 2 buildings and 2 outhouses in laser cut MDF
- Battle Flag bundle: Sherriff's office and gallows in laser cut MDF

Overall things look really nice. Some of the weapons are a little bent from shipping, although they shouldn't be too difficult to reposition during cleanup. I did notice that one of the railings for the MDF buildings was broken in one spot. It too shouldn't be a very difficult repair job, although I think a little bubble wrap could have avoided the problem.

I'm happy to be able to mark another KS campaign as 'fully received.' With Sedition Wars arriving last week, that's two campaigns fulfilled in the space of a few days. The backlog continues to grow! I need to get painting.

Awesome! Still waiting on the Requiem one which hopefully will land end of the month. Its one of the downsides to KS I think when people buy into like the Reaper one for example. How are you gonna find the time to paint them all! As well as all the backlog they already have.

Agreed! Lots of models for a good price isn't enough any more. I've been thinking over my collection as more of my pledged items continue to arrive. I think with Bones 2 I will simply opt for the figures I want when they finally hit retail. Maybe by then I'll have decided I don't want/need them.

A Spot of Fiction: Part 3

Outside, the two searching figures slowly return to the main building. As they approach the light from their flashlights reflects off of the building and their shapes resolve. They're wearing simple, nondescript military style uniforms and armed with automatic weapons. One of them snarls at the other, "There's nothing out here except coyotes, dirt and wind. Besides, if I were in charge I'd have come out here and checked it out myself!" "Yeah right! If you were in charge we'd all be dead already Carlson. That door was rusted shut, I'd bet money on it. Ain't no coyote cracking it open like that," says the second guard. They pause outside the door and turn off the flashlights and he digs a pack of cigarettes from his shirt pocket. Lighting up a cigarette he offers the pack to his companion. "So if it ain't a coyote what the hell was it? Nothing around here for miles!" "I don't know Staves, but I'm not taking that...

Painting Dreadball - The Etherian Horde

You know what's really sad? I've got all four season 1 Dreadball  teams in varying states of painted-ness, but none of them are actually  finished . My corporation team was pretty much finished until I messed them up, but I'll be posting more about them soon enough. Anyway, after over two weeks of being displaced from my home I was finally given the go ahead to return Sunday. With hot water and electricity restored I had to begin cleaning unspeakable organisms from my fridge and freezer, start vacuuming, do dishes that had long languished in the sink, and of course...laundry. All the stuff people love to do right?! With most of that complete or in progress I sat down to some (in my opinion) much-deserved personal time. I flipped the TV on and broke out some figures that I thought would be relatively quick and easy to work my way through: Season 2's robot team! These things look a lot like the robotic Horde trooper minions that work for Hordak (from Masters o...
