Dave Broadfoot's (aka Sgt. Renfrew's) Birthday - December 5th and Pulp Royal Mounted Police figures

Dave Broadfoot: aka Sergeant Renfrew, Bobby Clobber, MP from Kicking Horse Pass, member of the Royal Canadian Air Farce and much more.

December 5, 2019 would have been Canadian comedian Dave Broadfoot's 94th Birthday (1925-2016).

Of his many character's Sergeant (Sgt). Renfrew and his Incredible Dog Cuddles who worked out of their "lonely log cabin on the 14th Floor of RCMP Headquarters in Ottawa"was my favourites. Initially he was Corporal Renfrew, but he was promoted to Sgt. later on.

Last week I ran a SAGA Age of Magic (AoM) game involving some recently painted Pulp 28mm Royal Mounted Police figures and of course the lead Mountie  character was named after Sgt. Renfrew (a name Dave Broadfoot borrowed from a fictitious Mounted Police officer in a series of 1930s movies).

Giants for SAGA Age of Magic

I have been collecting some giants for my various SAGA Age of Magic factions.  I have always had a soft spot for Giants, maybe from all those years as a child watching the Friendly Giant or Land of the Giants:

Vikings versus Santa

I decided to test out the Christmas themed warband I am thinking of using at the Ottawa Miniatures Games club Christmas dinner and game towards the end of  December.  It was a rush job to get my SAGA Christmas themed warband ready for this Sunday as a result not all the miniature's are finished, some still have plain black bases. There will also likely be some changes once more figures are painted including 3 Polar Bears.  It is a very eclectic mixture of figures in Santa's warband but all have a winter theme.  For the warriors I used some GW Dark Elf spear armed warriors I bought at a good price on eBay, they were painted in a rather uncharacteristic red and green livery which I was planning to repaint but luckily I never got around to it and they fit in with the Christmas theme.
