The Bloggon, evil genius with a very niggly disposition, wants to rule the universe, you all know the type, has been up to naughtiness. He has kidnapped Dolores Trollope, famous Galactic explorer and granddaughter, of the Stargard's Field Marshal! She is being held in the swamps of Zooney, The Bloggon knows she's wearing a tracker, he's counting on it to lure the Stargard Troopers into an ambush. The Bloggon (ugly looking brute with wings) and his minions deploy... Commander Gladys Emmanuel (the platinum blonde with red blaster) and her crack team of Starguard Troopers have landed on Zooney and are deploying for action… In the distance Dolores can be seen in her captive dome… “OK,” says Commander Gladys Emmanuel. “Move out!”

I'm always the baddy in these games, for some reason I had naive hopes for the martial prowess of The Bloggon.

This motley crew's just turned up in the swamps of Zooney!

Both sides deploy and advance. The Bloggers try a sneaky flank attack on the Stargard’s Spaceship, but Gladys’s lads are wise to that old chestnut. It’s apparent that the Blogger’s antique weaponry and ‘spray and pray’ blasting is no match for the Stargard’s excellent body armour and even better marksmanship…

Looks great fun. Does anyone know of a good source for 54mm aliens/ spacemen. My tastes incline towards a retro look. Dan Dare for example.

You can also try Star Wars Command (still a lot of sets on Amazon and Ebay) for something less retro looking.

The Timmee figures look interesting but don't seem to be available in the UK (well, there is one set on Amazon.co.uk for £88 !)

Alan,
I think Britains Deetail Star Guard are quite retro! Irregular Miniatures do a Dan Dare-in all but name-range but I think the figures are 42mm.
Best wishes Anthony

The right flanking Bloggers took full advantage of the wadi, diving in and opening fire. But, Gladys wasn’t a Commander in the Stargard by being a slouch, she bolted forward and dispatched the two aliens with double taps through the melon!

A pity the Timmee aliens are not available here in the uk at a reasonable price as l really like the look of them. The irregular Miniatures chaps are great but l would prefer 54mm. I do like the Bloggon and his minions,they definitely do have something about them.

Wow, that's a bummer the Tim Mee guys aren't available in the UK. I'd be happy to order a couple sets and ship to you all if you'd like. Not sure what the postage is for an airmail package like that, or how long it would take, but I could look into it.
