PULP ALLEY Battle Report: Free BAGI

Background:
Somewhere in central africa, 193X
From an hidden laboratory, an evil and mad scientist, working for the Red Ribbon Army, created some bestial hybrids, using animal and human DNA.
Some of the creatures free themselves and try to flee in the jungle.
The Commander Red ordered that Blue Korp must capture the monsters, especially the most dangerous: Bagi.

I played a modified scenario of "Death Trap". Bagi, the Terror league, was the major plot point. The Blue Korp (bot league) MUST capture her.
The other minor plots are three hybrids and a belgian hunter that was sleeping in his house, a witness.
All the minor plots are extreme perils (including the human, he have a gun)

[PA League] LEGIO PROMETHEUS Gabinetto RS/33

Here my third PA league I've painted last year.

It's a 193X Weird Wars league of italians, to search for unknown and mysterious artifacts from alien, occult or ancient origin.

Background:
The GABINETTO Ricerche Speciali anno 1933 (Cabinet Special Researches 1933 year), in charge of collecting, investigating and suppressing UFO data, was founded in 1933 on orders from Il Duce Mussolini, after a crashed disc aircraft of unknown origin was recovered from Lombardia. Gabinetto RS/33 have links with the Fascist secret police OVRA and with "Agenzia Stefani," the regime's news agency in charge of disseminating Fascist propaganda. Italys most famous scientist and inventor, Guglielmo Marconi, is the director of the Cabinet, which also include several other prominent Italian astronomers, scientists and aeronautical engineers. Marconi believe that alien life existe on Mars and that contact with the “Martians” would be possible from powerful radio transmissions. Some of the most important researches are about the Death Ray, flying saucers, flying Wing and first Jet aicraft Campini-Caproni C.C.2.
One of the best field agents of Gabinetto RS/33 is the loyal ex "Moschettiere del Duce" Benito Littorio Volpe that formed a special team the LEGIO PROMETHEUS in 1937, the same year when suddendly Marconi died.

I enjoyed to do some research about italian interwar secret weapons. I was sure that Italy had some urban legends too, and Gabinetto RS/33 seem an excellent base for any weird wars ideas. There are many strange secrets in Italy, not just from alien or secret weapons, but from occult or mysterious sources too.

here some informations about italian secret weapons:

[PA League] Red Ribbon Army

My second Pulp Alley league I painted last year. The first idea was to have an anonymous force of DAK germans trying to stop the good guys from my Baker Expeditions. Then later I chose to paint them as the Red Ribbons from the old Dragonball anime.

Maybe a korp of interwar germans searching to mysterious artifacts (not the dragon balls however ) or maybe initially a german group but now a worldwide organization that want to conquest the world, much like the Hydra during IIWW

DIESELPUNK Sisters

Here my first diorama (usually I paint only miniatures for play wargames). The tank is a conversion of a 1/72 scale metal Mirliton italian M13/40 medium tank (IIWW) with some leman russ accessories, while the female miniatures are from Denizen miniatures, true 25mm miniatures (about the size of a 1/72 Zvezda plastic miniature). Some manga fans could recognize the cat girls ;)

I wanted a desert background, so I've used the same desert color on the camouflage of the tank and terrain, my idea was a post nuclear/apocalypse diorama, or maybe some dieselpunk girls during an alternative weird IIWW campaign of Africa too  :D

SAY MY NAME!

Here a miniature of Jagi from "Fist of the North Star" anime I painted last year, I bought it from East Riding Miniatures.
Maybe one day I will consider to buy more miniatures for a Pulp Alley league with a madmax/fist of the nort star look ;)
