My son has more toys than me (maybe). I look at some of them with envy as I can see their wargaming potential. Here's the top 6 toys I want to steal from him (most of them from the Tomica Thomas the Tank Engine range):
 |
| Health and Safety laws dictate that more footbridges are needed in Redemption City |
 |
| This is clearly a 15mm scale bridge. The Fat Controller will just have to find another route around Sodor. |
 |
| Looks garish and plastic but with a little work, this is some sort of Rogue Trader-esque building in 28mm. It's got separate rooms and everything inside. |
 |
| 15mm Air Traffic Control Tower for our long-overdue Gruntz spaceport game. |
 |
| Remove the chassis and you have a 15mm shed. Ollie has several of these (at the moment). |
 |
| And finally, my favourite, a limo for my Genestealer Cult Magus. |
LOL. I must admit I've also looked at some of my kids toys for wargames scenery...
ReplyDeleteThat's brilliant.
ReplyDeleteIt's only a matter of time until I see them painted up in RPH.
Great article - I have a daughter and her toys provide much less opportunity than you have presented with your son. But my Savage Orcs do have a giant cannibal cooking pot courtesy of Barbie! Keep up the great blog
ReplyDeleteThat's amazing. Barbie scares me more than orcs anyway.
