My submission for Mudry's Mesa is part 1 of a likely series of Aztec themed submissions. In accordance with the rules of Mudry's Mesa, these figures where purchased on Dec 20th. I'm planning to use them for pulp games and a ww1 version of my DAK & Dragons game, tentatively tilted ANZACs and Aztecs. I had planned to run that game at Cold Wars this year but need to delay that for business reasons.
This group of 20, 28mm figures from Eureka are all Novices, there's a similar number of more elaborately festooned warriors to come. The figure quality is so-so and I would have a hard time recommending them. It's a very old line from Eureka and that shows in the casting. They're really 32mm figures so are very well fed Aztecs compared to other 28mm figures
I really like the slingers and think this batch will serve nicely as ambushers in a future pulp game.
These twenty chaps should net me 100 points, which goes to 130 with the bonus on passing through Mudry Mesa
On to Rousell's Sandhill!
Enough, Ok. Just stop! I'm so shell shocked that I got these 2 posts the wrong way round. More great work from the Demon Painter of New England. Well done
