Playing EPIC in 28mm.

Random Aquisition No2


I went to a 50th birthday party the other week.  Well, actually, I went to the prep and then came home again, I didn't actually go to the party, but that's not the point.  My host is one of those childhood friends I grew up playing D&D with.  And the early WH.  and then MERP and so on, one of the four Apocalypse Generals. 


Anyway, it turns out that during his ten year project to refurb his house, he came across these.  I think that looking at the prices (99p for a multi model blister pack) and that Mark Copplestone is working for Grenadier at this time.  And that the model line is Grenadier Future Warriors, these could be comfortably dated to between 1986 and 1990. 


I was given these by his better half as I left.  The only way he'd ever build and paint this lot is if I did them anyway, I suppose.


So with the increase in Rogue Inquisimunda Team, these are welcome addition.


Hopefully, I'll be able to make a start on these before 2026.  


Looking at the Closet of Doom (TM), I think that's a decent target date.  


And if you do click the picks and have a look, you'll see one blister is entitled 'Killer Bimbos'.  Which with hindsight seems a little jarring to the sensibilities of 2019.  How very 80's.

  1. How wonderfully retro. Amazing to have them in blister packs after so long.

  2. I had a bunch of these minis back in the day - super fun sculpts and great for a Post-Apoc or homebrew Necromunda-style game. Lucky sod!

  3. I'm someone who has lived a life seemingly in the background, I must say this final indignity I have suffered almost too much to endure. You see, I have been sickly and weak since the day I was born and doomed to go through my life weakling. I seemed to have always suffered from one illness or another and could never play with the other children as I so desperately wanted to. Mother always made such a big fuss over me, also, making the situation worse as the other boys teased me mercilessly after they saw it. I was browsing  the internet searching on how I could be transformed into a powerful person when I came across the email of a man named Lord Mark. who was a VAMPIRE so I told him that I has always dreamed of becoming a  VAMPIRES, All i did was just to follow the procedure that i was been told, and i bet you that procedure I took change my entire life to something i ever desire, freedom, sickness free, pains free, fame, influence, connections and even more that i can. Thanks to Lord Mark. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity? contact the vampires creed today via email: Vampirelord7878@gmail.com
