One More for the Cabinet! Atomic Punks by Bombshell Miniatures

   Bombshell Miniatures, as its name suggests, has tons of awesome female miniatures. They have, in fact, an entire page on their webshop just called "Babes." But if you think there's just a bunch of scantily clad, character-less bimbos in there, I hate to disappoint you. You're way off. The bombshell babes are the most diverse set of female sculptures I've ever seen in one place. Sure, there are some bodacious beauties in there, and they are all beautiful in some way, but you've got choices, my friend. You want modern,  futuristic, or fantasy? Check. You want strong women in full armor or formidable action poses? You got 'em. Astronaut, pirate, ogress, robot? All in there. If you can't find a female mini on Bombshell's website that you like, you probably don't like female miniatures.
   The only tough question is, with so many awesome minis, which one do you pick when you want a model just 'cause?

One More for the Cabinet! Desolation Row: Alien by Black Scorpion Miniatures

   Here he is! That alien I've been working on for the past two WIP Wednesdays is finally done! Come on in and take a look! I hope you like him. For me, it was worth  the wait, as I got to have a little fun with shiny things.

Meet the Crew- the Edofleini

   Space squids are people, too, and we really wanted you to be able to meet all the characters in the Counterblast campaign. So here it is. Meet the crew of the "invading" Edofleini ship (hey, it's all a matter of perspective, right?)

The Terror from Outer Space: Fly me to the Moon, A Narrative

Hey there everyone, here's a little bit of an intro teaser for the Counterblast campaign.  To borrow the immortal words of a man well known from the period:  Imagine if you will, a small strange man.  In a small strange ship. A ship about to encounter something unexpected...

One More for the Cabinet: Bombshell Miniatures M4R1A Bot

Okay, so, I have a ton of models I need to finish up for the campaign(s) LXG is getting ready to drop. So, it makes sense the first model I finish of the New Year is one of those, right?  Not a chance.  See, I got ahold of the Metropolis inspired figured from Bombshell, and, well, everything else has to wait.

From Box to Table: Counterblast Mekkus Core Set

34000 - Counterblast Adventure Battle Game Mekkus  Faction Core SetOkay, so...why not just a regular unboxing article? To be perfectly honest, it's because GMort covers most of the same games we do, and his Unboxed series is just too good to try to follow. Seriously, go read them. On top of that, Johan also does an amazing job with unboxings on his blog as well. Instead, I wanted to take a slightly different track, and discuss models going literally from sprue to table ready. Today we're going to tackle the Mekkus faction from Bombshell Miniature's Counterblast game.

WIP Wednesday: Ta'an Arnts, Meka and Monkeys, and Railworkers

The incredibly talented and wonderful artist Meg Maples of Arcane Paintworks coined the phrase "WIP Wednesday" (as far as I know),  and I thought that was so wonderful that it needs to become a thing.  So, here's a few quick looks at our project tables at LXG Headquarters this week.

It's Contest Time! Choose your Favorite Campaign!

[​IMG]
Hello everyone!  The writers of LXG all got together last night, and because we can't come up with a convincing idea, we're turning it into a contest.  Help us choose what to play, and maybe win some models while you're doing it!

Counterblast Unboxed! The Edo

   Next up on the Counterblast unboxing list is the Edofleini. Or, as everyone is always going to call them, the Edo. Otherwise known as space squids. Because you can't have pulp sci-fi without space squids. These are going to to be a fantastic choice for people that want to do something a little off-the-wall with their paint schemes. I mean, accuracy isn't going to be an issue with space squids, right? You can do whatever you want!
   But there are delightful decisions to be made even before you prime them, right from the moment you take them out of the box. So let's take a look, shall we?
