Continued proof that I'm not just painting up stuff for the Fistful of Lead/Galactic Heroes game at Historicon, I finished one of the new groups to play for Saturday afternoon, Fistful of Lead Gnome Western game, Yet Another Showdown in Santa Poco.
Introducing the Lila preußische Rettungsschwimmer, or The Purple Prussian Lifeguard.
These guys are the personal bodyguards of the German leader, so what are they going to be doing in a remote Mexican town?
I had a plan with the German gnomes very early on. My first unit, Die FleiderAffes, were based off of the flying monkeys from Wizard of Oz. My green and white unit are Die Leinenkugels, and a black and tan unit was planned on being Die Yuenglings. It took me some deep digging, but these Germans were originally slated to be Die Liladunsts (The Purple Haze). We'll see if I can acquire some extra Germans to flesh them out, or these will be some stand-ins for a game.

In the Queue: Sci-Fi Terrain for Historicon. It's crunch time to set-up units for each Fistful of Lead game, print out sheet, and test out some concepts.
Project 350: The name of my futile attempt to clear out my blog drafts, I've currently got 469 posts hiding behind the scenes (295 drafts/174 scheduled) down from 477 (297 drafts/180 scheduled) last week. #InternationalGnomeWeek is wrapping up, and a few projects are getting completed, so I should see a nice drop before my tracking goes on hiatus to prep for #RPGaDay in August.
I was lamenting the high numbers and lack of progress, but checking on my painting post during #InternationalGnomeWeek last year, I was at a whopping 510 (329/181). This is my quarterly reminder to myself that 100 of the scheduled post are gnome-theme holiday filler posts, and as every holiday passes there's two cool things I find for subsequent years. I am trying to manage my own nightmare.
