Its the last day of my holidays and its too windy and wet to actually go out and enjoy so I spent this morning watching Tremors and painting up the first members of a new warband that has been kicking up a stink around the Farpoint sector!
The Mollusc Freedom Alliance!
Chanting their battle cry of "Freedom, Freedom, Freedom, Oy!" the MoFA have been fighting for full rights for Octopoids everywhere for some time. Wearing medical scrubs and sandals while wielding bulky but fairly reliable Lasguns, the members of the MoFA are rather inept but enthusiastic fighters and regularly attempt to raise awareness of the plight of the lowly Octopoid by shooting wildly at anything that moves while scuttling and chanting.
Thus far their crusade has been less than effective and they are seen as more of a nuisance than a real danger but their new leader, El Sombrero has big plans to boost their reputation by leading raids on known Octopoid slavers and anyone who may support the crushing of the squidgy.
The figures themselves are from 15mm.co.uk and although the sculpts are rather rough, they do have quite a lot of character and I hope to flesh out the force a bit with a few more MoFA's as well as El Sombrero himself!
All the best!
Mwahahahahaha!
ReplyDeleteAlas it is indeed a slippery slope! I remember picking up a dozen Laserburn figures while at uni and look where it got me!
Can't wait to see them painted up though!
All the best!
