Welcome

A quick welcome to the blog post: welcome aboard Jan Ferris! Thanks for following and taking time to check things out.

On the hobby front, I have just finished my first Pulp City mini of the year and have a few others with their main skin colour blocked out, so I expect to get a few things done in the next few weeks.

Behind scenes for the Pulp Monsters team, we have been doing proof-reads for all the Cold War Kickstarter cards, we have allocated the first artists for some of the Cold War Supreme Genesis characters, and on the web-site we have started a weekly series of Spotlight articles (click for link).

Pulp Citizen In 2015

Another year over and a few more minis added to the collection!

I didn't paint as many Pulp City minis in 2015 as I hoped (I aimed for 12 and managed 10), but on the up-side I did add a couple of Leaders, another Powerhouse and a number of Grimm.

In 2016 I am setting the same goal, but I hope it will feel more achievable since in 2015 all of those minis were painted in the second half of the year.

2015 also saw the second Pulp City Kickstarter campaign, which was a very nice success, adding two new whole Factions to the range. If anyone has the belief that running a Kickstarter campaign is easy, I would say it is anything but, and that was with four of us contributing (well done to all of us - Maciej, Devon and Melvin).

So, time to look forward to the year ahead!

Merry Christmas From the Pulp Citizen

Merry Christmas everyone and I wish you all a great festive period.

No new Christmas Madness this year due to time constraints for Rob and me both, but be sure that we are already hatching a  plan for next year and already have a pun-tastic subtitle picked out!

So in the spirit of Christmas where classics are shown every year, it seems only apt to feature the Christmas Madness reports form previous years!

• Christmas Madness 2010 
• Christmas Madness 2011: The Return Of Bad Santa
• Christmas Madness 2012: The Revenge of Bad Santa
• Christmas Madness 2013: Once Upon A Time In Lapland
• Christmas Madness 2014: The Snowman Cometh

Mr. Kraken

Mr. Kraken is the 130th mini I have painted for my own Pulp City collection, and after losing a lot of painting momentum overall in the past month or so, it has been nice to get another mini finished, especially for Pulp City and more especially for the Forgotten.

The paint job was done pretty quickly simply because I needed to feel as though I had finished something. I struggled with some of the highlighting to be honest, but it is done.

As soon as we devised the concept of Mr. Kraken I knew it was a mini I would look forward to painting - who doesn't like the idea of a Lovecraftian corporate raider!

In game terms, Mr. Kraken is a Blaster whose Actions offer Damage, Mind Control and Suppress as FX. He also excels at targeting models with Trump MIND (who often will also have Trump SPIRIT, the Trait which defends against his Actions). Like all members of the forgotten, Mr. Kraken is a dangerous proposition - their downside as a team is that they are mostly Level 2 Supremes, meaning they will often be outnumbered, and they will often struggle to generate AP without good planning. His biggest weakness will be his low non-Trump AGILITY, making him a ripe target for sniper types who can stand off at good range (such as Gentleman, Ba-Boom and Trojan).

Welcome

Another 'welcome to the blog' post, this time to Willem-Jan Bertram. Thanks very much for signing up!

Time for a quick hobby update: I still want to add a few more painted minis to my own collection before the end of the year. I recently prepared minis for the A.R.C., Grimm and Forgotten, so hopefully they will see some progress before too long. :)

Hallowe'en Madness V: The Dead Walk Again

Pictures by mainly by Rob and a few by  me. Terrain and minis by me (except Ninja Apes by Rob). Gaming by both of us!
