Yeah, no .  Not a Godzilla film. Barely qualifies as a film.

I'm talking the old man-in-suit classic Godzillas.

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!

Yeah, the rules are pretty ****** about 'starting over' with a  new account.  I'll give it some time for the novelty to wear off and see if I still must have it before pestering mods :D

Hey all, if'n it matters to you, I just got a pre-ordered copy of the PacRim HeroClix game.  The Kaiju (Slattern, the Cat 5 one) and Gipsy Danger minis within, if removed from their bases, are close enough to the scale of IWM BattleTech minis as to not show a difference.

Which means that future Kaiju releases will fit on a gameboard and hexbase rather well for your next Deep Periphery campaign.

...just a thought.

And comparative pictures showing the HeroClix models alongside a couple of BattleTech minis.  The Catapult is of specific note, since it's a relatively large mini.  The feet have all been leveled using stacked cards, so you're seeing the actual comparative height of the models within a millimeter or so.

Boy that name thing is tough... I both am a foodie and a historical buff.... might have to just break em up by ethnic cuisine....

For Mexican It might be Santa Anna El Rancho

Italian, it could be Leonardo Carino's

Asian, the possibility is Ghengis Kyoto

American.... (which really could be broken down further) Lincoln Pops

German, it could be Ludwig Van Schilo's
