Like a truffle-seeking sow, I was rooting around in my unpainted miniatures box recently when I uncovered the bulk of my last Pulp Figures order. These Chinese pirates, gangsters and ordinary citizens have been awaiting paint for almost 2 years now. Even though I was neck-deep in my Super Mission Force campaign, I was struck […]

Cool Find at TJ Maxx/HomeGoods
Posted by The Angry Piper on October 17th, 2015
Picked this plane up for $20 at HomeGoods the other day. It was in the home decor section, near the Venetian masks and the faux-ivory handled letter openers. I guess it’s supposed to be decor. Not really my style, but it’s great for some Pulp gaming. Although the cockpit looked right, at first glance I […]
Death Soldiers of the Jade Hood: Part 2
Posted by The Angry Piper on September 16th, 2014
When we last left our intrepid adventurers Bridget Rourke and Mo Shrevnitz, they had managed to obtain evidence that the Jade Hood was behind the strange disappearances of ordinary citizens in New Commerce. Bridget was able to snap a photo of some of the Jade Hood’s goons loading some suspicious chemicals onto trucks in the […]

I was so excited when I saw Pulp Figures recent “Masked Avengers” set, that I had to rush out and buy them. Actually, I didn’t rush anywhere. I clicked and ordered them. The set comes with two more figures, but I was most interested in the “Masked Crime Fighter” shown above, along with his “Aide”. […]
A Fistful of Kung Fu: First Wave
Posted by The Angry Piper on July 29th, 2014
A couple of months back I picked up a copy of Osprey’s A Fistful of Kung-Fu in the hopes that I would one day play it. Lord knows I have enough miniatures to jump right in (they just needed to be painted first), and whatever I didn’t have would give me an excuse to order […]

Since I bought .45 Adventure 2nd Edition, I’ve been itching to run some Pulp games with the new rules. In accordance with my new play style, I thought a miniatures campaign over the course of several weeks would be a good way to introduce all my friends to .45 Adventure while not necessarily needing to […]

Posted by The Angry Piper on July 30th, 2013
This could easily be the bloodiest game I have ever played in all my years of wargaming. It was like a Sam Peckinpah film on my gaming table. With all the Super System 3 I’ve been playing lately, my Pulp gaming has been neglected. So I had a couple of friends over for some .45 […]

Adversaries for my army of Pulp Cops, these gat-men are also from Bob Murch’s Pulp Figures line. Below is Bugs Malarchy’s Mob (PGJ-02), one well-heeled group of hoods. With three Thompsons (who really believes there’s a violin in that case?), these guys mean business! My personal favorite miniature is “Chopper” McCoy all the way on the […]
Pulp Cops
Posted by The Angry Piper on February 28th, 2012
I got the pulp bug again, although to be sure I never really lost it. I painted these cops a while back for use with Rattrap’s .45 Adventure, which is my pulp rule set of choice. In truth, it’s the only rule set I’ve ever used to play pulp. I like it, though, so I […]
Limehouse Personalities
Posted by The Angry Piper on January 5th, 2012
Smoky opium dens and shady waterfront characters abound in Limehouse. Here are a few. First up, the main bad guys. The burly fellow on the left is White Tiger, from East Riding Miniatures’s Golgo Island Legends line. Because of his striking resemblance to a famous Chinese bodybuilder/actor, I had to own him. The other two […]
