Hey Y'all Prepare Yourselves For the Rubberband Damned 
(or, Reaper Miniatures' Legendary Encounters zombies (and others!) - a review)

A year or so back Reaper Miniatures announced that they were going to start producing a new line of ready-painted plastic miniatures under the title "Legendary Encounters".  These would be non-random monsters (and characters) to use in your campaign for those times when you either didn't have time or simply weren't inclined to paint whole armies of orcs, goblins, trolls and the like.  Initially I was afraid of and opposed to this idea - but given that I game in a cave and am frightened by electricity and the wheel, this should come as no surprise to anyone.

From 1861 to 1865, the United States of America were not so united. The war of secession raged across the country, leaving only the farthest northern areas untouched. For the US, it was the end of an age – artillery had been proven to the US in the Mexican American War and the War of 1812, and in the Civil War it played a major role, with massed batteries inflicting World War I style casualties on advancing lines of troops. Never again would American soldiers fight in such a war.

The Rebs are a’ comin’!

We ordered the Resina Planet Escarlata a couple of months ago because we thought she was a cool looking figure and were looking forward to painting her up. Originally The WebMistress was going to paint her up, and she wasn’t in for review, but after a thread on TMP that was asking about her, we agreed I would run her through the magic color wash machine and write a review of her.
