What I can say, is that it was a great day, and my thanks to the guys there for making me and my kids very welcome for the duration of our stay! My kids loved it, as did I and I managed to get myself a few choice bits off my shopping list (more about […
If only I was still doing Necromunda, or any other scifi gaming in 28mm, cos’ these look very promising indeed! Ok, the plain ones don’t really inspire, but by the look of things, these could turn out to be a very good system for gaming. Wh…
This is the final game in the campaign Phil and I have been playing based on the excellent campaign rules in Wyrd Chronicles 5. After three games so far there is nothing to choose between us – we are on the same number of game wins and we are eve…
I just thought I’d let you all know, I have put a new poll up on the site, this time concerning the forthcoming release of the Grinning Skull Miniature line by 15mm.co.uk. Since some of you will be getting your hands on some (hopefully!) I want t…
For those of you who are anticipating the release of Pendraken’s 10mm modern zombie miniatures, take a look at the greens over on the Pendraken forum! Sculpted by the very talented industry veteran, Phil Lewis, these little survivors are going to…

Here’s were I left off working on weathering last night. I used one of the pigments as a wash, and that seemed to do a pretty super job of making the whole tank look a bit dirty. I have a few more details to pick out, but so far, I’m really happy with how [...]
So I attended Adepticon this year and took a class on how to do weathering with pigments. I learned a lot in the two hours I spent in that class and finally had a chance last night to try out what I had learned on one of my Imperial Guard Chimera’s. **Warning Huge Images** The [...]

The 6mm IABSM project continues and I’ve finally painted up some German armour. As with all my 6mm stuff I’ve been speed-painting rather than going for any great detail and…
Game 3 of our campaign was again a 30ss affair and as you can see from the Turn 7 screenshot, it turned out to be quite a bloodbath. We used the same crews as the last game, but for this game Phil was down a Punk Zombie due to injury. I’m really …

A game plan, eh? It’s hard to predict how any game of Warmachine/Hordes will go, but it’s always worthwhile having a game plan. This plan should be pretty concrete in terms of how your force deploys and how you’d like the first turn w…
A while ago I posted about some Neglected Toys (Warcasters and Warlocks) that were gathering dust. With the beginners tournament coming up I decided it was time to bring some of those toys out to play, so I rolled on the D10 chart and here’s what I got. The first list is reserved for veteran [...]

I’ve been working on more of my Abyssal Dwarf Army as well as some airbrushing techniques. I’ve been doing a dual prime coat, I’m sure there’s a proper name for this, but I have no idea what it is. I’ve been taking Vallejo model color and mixing it 50/50 with vallejo thinner so that I [...]
