Occasionally someone captures Schweig's gaming exploits on film (or,
in a sign of the times, in digital format). This gallery offers a few snapshots
from Schweig's gaming life: a few convention appearances, some diorama
and miniatures work, and a few snippets of historical miniatures wargaming
(one of Schweig's many varied interests).

Pulp Egypt
Schweig has a small assortment of miniatures and diorama pieces he sometimes
uses when running Pulp Egypt games at conventions.
He photographed several encounters to see how all the elements might work
together.
| A high priest of Sobek uses his magical powers
to summon two avatars of his god to deal with meddling Major Broomhall,
who stumbled upon the priest's plans while exploring a desert oasis. |
 |
| The Hartwell College expedition prepares camp
near a pair of ancient statues. |
 |
| The expedition discovers a temple of Bastet, complete with
feline priestess and her two leonine guardians. |
 |
| Two crocodilian avatars of Sobek emerge from
the ruins of an oasis temple to defend it against intruders -- infiltrators
from an elite Nazi desert force sent to recover ancient artifacts. |
 |
|
|
 |
| Avatars of Sobek confront animated Anubis statues
in an attempt to usurp control over a temple of the Jackal god. |
 |
|
|
 |
| Professor Hamilton, intent on studying his notes
in camp, remains unaware than one of his mummified subjects has returned
from the dead! |
 |
| The expedition members confront a giant cobra
guarding the ruined Temple of Anubis! |
 |
|
 |
| Elite Nazi desert commandos attack the animated
Anubis statues guarding the temple. |

Schweig designed and built most of the set pieces, but the miniatures come
from a variety of manufacturers who create minis perfectly suited to Pulp
Egypt adventures. Crocodile
Games’ Wargods of Aegyptus line provides the Priest of Horus
(the Priest of Sobek above), Priestess of Bast, Sebeki Warriors (the avatars
of Sobek), and the Male and Female Lion Prowling. Armourcast
created the ruined Egyptian columns and sarcophagi. Most of the expedition
members came from RAFM's
Call
of Cthulhu miniatures line and old Indiana Jones miniatures created
by SimTac. The elite Nazi desert commandos come from Battle Honors Afrika
Korps Rifle Squad Advancing. Last but not least, Reaper
Miniatures supports several lines of Egyptian-themed minis, including
the Egyptian statues of Anubis and Sobek, the Anubis Guard, the Egyptian
Jackal and Cat Statues, and Mummy Rising.

"This is called a Griffin because it is a
winged quadruped. This kind of wild animal is born in Hyperborean parts,
or in mountains. All its bodily members are like a lion's, but its wings
and mask are like an eagle's. It is vehemently hostile to horses. But it
will also tear to pieces any human beings which it happens to come across."
-- The Book of Beasts, translated
by T.H. White
