A First Look at Boglanders!

I finally got around to unpacking my latest Kickstarter, Boglanders from Ramshackle Games. I have quite a few odds and ends of Ramshackle products in my collection, I love the quirkiness that Curtis puts into his designs. When I saw the ad for Boglanders I was hooked, but what would I use them for? Fantasy, Gothic Horror, VSF or Post Apocalyptic? Well it turned out my dilemma was easily solved, because Curtis was providing separate arms with medieval, black powder and futuristic weaponry!

These photos show the figures in their bare resin, as they come out of the box. They need washing and trimming before painting.

 The whole kit and caboodle, 45 individual figures, over a hundred arms and 36 tokens (plus a few other odds and ends).

The Boglanders are certainly a trifle bizarre, such as the Royal party shown here, with the Royal Pulmentumancer and his augury-reading stew!

Most of the figures are armless, which lends them to various uses....

...futuristic sci-fi or post apocalyptic...

...black powder/VSF...
...or fantasy!

This is a trial run at painting one of these models. The chap was a bonus model, I can see him in a VSF/Steampunk game.
Or maybe something post-apocalyptic?

Some of the brilliant collection of little critters which come with the set, I can see multiple uses as assorted gribblies in different genres!

I'll post more of these as I get them tidied up and painted, I can see them giving me a lot of fun!
