Photos of my guys and past games...

Ouch folks..sorry for not having anything to show you in this latest update, but I've been lax. I've a couple of things being built right now, and hope to get some pix up soon.

But for now...you get to see some of my older stuff...


Enjoy...I hope...

A picture of the US SF team landing in their LZ outside of the "peaceful" village of Ebowla in Bongolesia. Little do they know what is in store for them...

US SF Troops take up fighting positions and engage Bongolesian Territorial Troops. Putting the whammy on the locals.
This is one of my favorite shots that I took for this game as it shows the US SF troops in action and a good view of the urban surroundings of the town that they had to deal with...
The "business end" of the the US SF Teams engaging the locals. This is another one of my faves as it shows it a good position, cover and engagement area. These guys know their job!

Perhaps one of my most disturbing photos that I have ever taken at a game, is this one. A UN Jeep burns with it's casualties as a truck load of rebels pass by. For some reason, I guess the angle of the shot, and the imagery of it, has always stuck with me. They may be toy soldiers that we play with, but I often see them and remind myself that they represent some of the most horrible things that happen in this world...

AND NOW!!!! For something COMPLETELY DIFFERENT!!!!!
In Feb of 2005 I attended Owlcon in Houston, and saw a gentlemen who had assemble a W40K Dark Eldar Force and had painted it in the colors of "Barbie"...
I'm not a GW fan, but I was IMPRESSED with his paint skills, his detail, and just the quirkiness of it...and the fact that it REALLY disturbed a LOT of the GW fanboys at the convention! I just had to take a pic of it. It's THAT good!
Okay...hope you enjoyed it. The next entry hopefully will show you some more of my stuff...
