SPIES AND INTELLIGENCE MEN (3) - BUF BOFFINS

An alternative "Intelligence Section" for the BUF Player at the Autumn Big Game 2023 ("Big Trouble in Little Hereford") - the BUF 'Boffins'. We can't know what top secret scientific research projects they're presently engaged upon (valuable mineral extraction ? alternative power sources ? "vengeance weapons" ?), but for the day of the "Big Game" only, they'll turn their genius minds to the gathering of intelligence and subversion of Little Hereford's farm owners:


This "Intelligence Section" is again made up principally of plastic "Heroclix" figures - all five of the "Intelligence Agents" arrived prepainted and were simply rebased and "refreshed" with some washes and detail work. The "Intelligence Leader" is a Bob Murch/Pulp Figures figure. Bob's figures tend towards the larger/more bulky side of 28mm, but (although not noticeable on the tabletop) the Leader is still a little shorter than the 30mm Heroclix figures.

Note: Hereford1938 has a proud history of "odd" technological advances. One instantly thinks, for example, of the Anglican Rocket Batteries and the Malvern Skunkworks "Quadricycle of Doom" as they appeared at the Battle of Bredwardine Bridge, or the Bluecoat School's 6th Form Physics Department's "Sonic Dischargers" at the Battle of Brimfield. There's even a HISTORICAL BASIS for all this scientific flummery.....

Add Edit : And here is the donor figure for the BUF Boffins/Intelligence Agents - the "Weapons Scientist" from the "Deadpool" Heroclix range:

In a non- BUF "Boffin Section", the Heroclix "Bolivar Trask" figure could serve as a compatible but differently posed "leader":
