Book 18 in the Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter Novel Series is here !
When Anita Blake meets with prospective client Tony Bennington, who is desperate to have her reanimate his recently deceased wife, she is full of sympathy for his loss. Anita knows something about love, and she knows everything there is to know about loss. But what she also knows, though Tony Bennington seems unwilling to be convinced, is that the thing she can do as a necromancer isn’t the miracle he thinks he needs. The creature that Anita could coerce to step out of the late Mrs. Bennington’s grave would not be the lovely Mrs. Bennington. Not really. And not for long.
If you’ve never read Anita Blake, it takes place on a parallel Earth where supernatural creatures are real and have gone public, and at least in the United States have rights. Anita is a Necromancer, who works part time raising the dead, part time working with the police to solve murders, dates one of the most powerful vampires in the country, and has slowly become the first living succubus. It’s hard to explain, it’s part Law & Order, part Supernatural, and part Romance Novel.
No Emo vamps. Every variety of Werecreature you can think of. Anita is an action hero, who’s love life is like a 20 car pile up on the freeway, if 19 of those cars were her lovers and she’s the car the bottom of the heap.
Having computer troubles and am unable to get the pics showing. I’ll get them working shortly. In the mean time the links will bring you directly tot he threads showing some of the images.
If you’ve just started playing with your HEROSCAPE D&D MASTER SET 3 and wished you had a few more Trolls and Drow, you may have missed the bus. Those singles flew out the door ealier this week from damn near everyone selling singles at a reasonable rate.
I just minutes ago got an Email from Andrwe over at AUGGIE’S and they just cracked open 40 Fresh boxes of MASTER SET 3 and put them up this afternoon.
FERAL TROLL $2.99
Deepwyrm Drow $5.99
Get them NOW!!! According to my sources, WIzards is already sold out of Master Set 3, so the supply of these single is going to dry up fast
If your anything like me, you bought Heroscape, and missed the small detail that all the units in Rise of the Valkyrie are unique units. Not a problem if you only bought one set, but again if your like me, who bought six, you have alot of extra figures on your hands.
To solve this problem, I want to make custom stat cards that utilize the figures in ROTV. This way, not only will I have a way to use my extra figures, but anyone else who wants to use my stat cards should have access to the figures as well.
Marro are my favorite faction from Heroscape. I used to play with legions of Marro Warriors, before we figured out you weren’t suppossed to., so I decided I wanted to put them back into action.
I dug out and compared the stats of all the Marro Units I had.
Marrden Nagrubs -30pts cheap expendable hound like models, suited for Warlord Escort duty, not what I was looking for.
Marro Drudge -50pts Humanoid shooters, but dependant on Swamp Tiles, something I wanted to avoid
Marro Stingers – 60pts Humanoid Shooters, with a random do more damage or die trying roll
Marro Warriors – 50pts The Unique Humanoid Shooters I was getting the models from. They have excellent range, low damage, but their reall strength is they can ressurect models. I know from first hand experience that no one really wants to fight against an entire army of them resurrecting, and that 50pts is too cheap for a 4 man non-unique unit that can pile on like that.
Marro Drones 50pts Melee only humanoids, with Hive Mind, alloing them to share activations with fellow Marrow Drone Units, on of my favorite abilities in the game.
So then inspiration hit me. I wanted something different from the Drudge, Stingers, and Warriors, that didn’t clone, or was dependant on terrain features. I really dig the Drones, but always wished they could shoot….
Marro Soldiers were born !!
They cost more than any of the units they were based on. Have none of the unique special defenses, less range, and model less, than the Marro Warriors they were conscripted from. They do have the potential to activate more often, which is thier key strength.
If you get any use out of these fellas, I would appreciate feedback.
I was reading on HEROSCAPERS about coming up with stats for your customs and one of the suggestions was for using SGT. DRAKE ALEXANDER stats for BATMAN. I thought it was a great idea, so I dug out a mini, my digital camera, and got to photoediting up a new stat card.
That’s it, there was a bunch of gibbering about the shoulder pads and how big the minigun was, but other than that the only reall new info is that there should be 3 bodies, 3 rifles, 1 flamer, 1 minigun, I pistol, all with arms, 3 grunt helmeted heads and 3 more unqie command/heavy heads.
From what was discussed, it appears that the greatcoats submission will be contained on a single sprue, and not expanded to 2 or 3, as some had hoped.
I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves
These highly anticipated mdoels were delayed when WGF decided to redesign them from the ground up, after seeing the greater detail they could add to a model when they completed their viking set. It appears to be have been worth the wait.
