A few weeks back Rebel Miniatures (http:\/\/www.rebelminis.com\/28mmboxsets.html) released these duck men. \u00a0Since they reminded me of the guards in my Tunnels and Trolls dungeon from many years ago, I couldn’t resist picking them up. \u00a0(The mechanical scorpion is a pewter figure I picked up at a booth at the Pennsylvania Renaissance Festival last year.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The figures arrived without any flash. \u00a0They are slot-a-base figures, but strangely, they came without the bases. \u00a0That’s okay, since I do not like the look of slot-a-base anyway. \u00a0So, I cut off the slots and mounted them as you see.<\/p>\n

In my Dungeon of the Athelfrog which I ran throughout college, I made a typo in the description of a wandering party of guards, spelling it “gurads.” \u00a0When one of the players pointed out the typo, on the fly I made up that “gurads” were armed ducks. \u00a0The first time a character saw one, he had to make a saving roll or become incapacitated with laughter.<\/p>\n

While painting up the “gurads,” I also painted these power generators for 10mm science fiction.<\/p>\n
