Joey's Boys

 I've finished up the first of three gangs of Mafiosos for my Fistful of Lead game at Wargames Among the Warplanes in June. Meet Joey "The Viper" Marciano and some of his associates:


Joey is from Wargames Foundry's "The Mob" pack in their Street Violence line, while the rest of his gang are from Copplestone Castings; the skinny guy in a gray suit is from the "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" line of Cold War spies, and the rest are from the "Future Wars" line. 

Joey's a very fun sculpt, with thick jowls and a fat roll at the back of his neck, rings on a couple fingers and a fat cigar ready to be jabbed into someone's face. 

Also finished tonight, Miss Angela Dellamorte, the daughter of the head of the Dellamorte Crime Family. She's the mcguffin that the whole scenario hinges around - the game begins with her in the hideout of the Jamaican Kings, and three gangs of Dellamorte gunmen are crossing the table to try and retrieve her - and double-crossing each other along the way. 


Finally, I knocked out a couple pieces of junk pile scatter terrain from Miniature Building Authority:


So that leaves me with just 10 figures to finish before June 7th, and however many pieces of scenery I manage. My buddy Dave is 3D printing a few buildings for me, and also gifted me a couple he'd printed and painted years ago that he wasn't using:


I might do some touch up on these, but overall they're not in bad shape. Anything I do to repaint or improve them will be after Wargames Among The Warplanes, however. 

That's five new figures painted, so let's update the tracker:

Figures Purchased in 2025: 58

Figures Painted in 2025: 75

  1. Joey and "da boys" look great! I agree - the mobster is a great figure. You've also done well with the MBA scatter. Keep going -- I see you are ahead on the Purchased vs. Painted score...!!

    1. Thanks Mike! Believe it or not I have an even fatter mobster who will be leading another crew at my June game.
