I PAINTED SOMETHING

It’s been almost 6 months since I joined the cyclops faction. I still have no depth perception, so I started by painting  something easy. Two tone ruins. Hard to screw that up.  A few miniature wargamers offered me encouragement, guys who have also suffered the loss of vision in...

Figure Catchup

Alternative armies has a great little selection of character models that I havne’t done justice.  In addition to a nice fat demon lord, I’ve added a NotMing The Merciless and totally not Dejah Thoris to my collection. They also have a fun little collection of elementals.  The air elemental...

Broman Reinforcements

The boys in yellow and white are back, and this time they’ve got a few upgrades.  These bannermen come to us by way of Ral Partha Europe, and the wonderful Demonworld line of miniatures.  Their imperial forces can be a bit fantasy cartoonish, but if you know where to...

Hey There, Big Guys!

I don’t often do posts showing the before, during, and after. These three figures took so little time, but I had the attention span and the memory to do so.  You you might want to paint yourself up some of these figures from the Demonworld lineup, available from Ral...

Grognard Necromunda

They’re back! The crew of the Blackraven rides again, and this time they are riding with a classic.  We’re stepping back into the ranks of the Oldhammer bros with a few games using the venerable 40k Mk 2 engine.  The early 1990s Necromunda was one of the best products G-Dubs...

Ratman Roster

We are going to have so much fun with these little Splintered Light vermin.  The whole pack of them took just under a month to paint up – the glories of 15mm! The yellow primer worked well in the end. The skin tone of these figures has a dim...

Ratmen WIP

  Taking the advice of Vince, from over on the YouTubes, I primed these rat dudes in a rich yellow.  Normally, I go with the black/gray/white spectrum, particularly these days when contrast paints do half the work for you.  But I knew these little rat dudes would be draped...

More Rank and Flank Thoughts

Army building. We meet again, old frenemy. As a reminder, we are talking about the popular collection of rules known as One Page Rules. In my particular case, the fantasy regiment game called, appropriately enough, Regiments. Let’s take a look and what you need to get started, and I’m just talking about...

Coming Soon: Modern Rank and Flank

It’s been a while since I’ve thrown a game of rank-and-flank fantasy down on the table.  Dragon Rampant is more of a large warband skirmish game, and it lacks the nuance and subtlety of proper blocks of troops maneuvering about the green fields of battle.  Demonstrating the charms of Chainmail...

The Xenos Are Rampant!

Today is the day! Just in time for the release of Osprey’s latest hardback, “Xenos Rampant”, comes my new Rebel Miniatures fighting fifteens. This time I remembered to take shots of the primed figures. And I remembered to take shots of the vehicles that I bought.  Here’s a useful...
