The first RPG to really catch my
attention was Traveller. It's was ground breaking at the time. It's
still the only game that I can think of that you can die in character
creation. It is one of those games that has gotten by (by and large)
over the years. I had aquired a few over the years but not enough to
form the basis of what I wanted.
When I first got the 15mm buzz it was
the memories of figures that were produced by a certain games company
that may or may not have originated in Nottingham that first got my
interest.
I went to eBay to try and fins some.
When I had picked my jaw up off the floor I worked out that were
often going for about £3 a figure, I put that idea out of my mind.
Then RAFM got the moulds.
Then I got a boat load of them as a
present from Swimbo. The first to get the treatment were the Car
Leonis Warriors and some figures from the Support Staff pack all of
which used to be the Aslan.
The impression I had from the few
colour pictures was that they wore bright colours. They also seem to
have the look of something like a cheetah with a lion's mane. I gave
them a very bright colour palette for the clothing and a series of
browns that gave a big cat feel.
Car Leonis make great RPG figures. They
come in a nice variety of poses with a range of equipment. Felids
from Khurasan make a nice substitute. If you were looking at putting
together an Aslan mercenary company the Felids which look like they
are combat armour or battledress might make a better bet. Whilst
these would make a better bet for Tomorrow’s War they lack real RPG
character.
