WIP: Tortugastra
My sci-fi boys have been warring over the same stretch of suburban ground for years. They deserve a proper star-faring battleground. To that end, I have been slapping glue, foamcore, and paint around the kitchen table for a while. Just a sneak peek at my own personal wretched hive,...
Scraping the Bottom of The Lead Pile
Rebel Minis makes these slick little gunfighters called Titan Scouts. Kind of. The three figs on the right are untouched savr by the loving caress of a paint brush. The pack comes with two sets of three poses, and since I am building more of a lite RPG collection, that...
Fifteen Odds and Sods
Just a couple of quick and dirty terrain pieces completed over the weekend. The jersey jersey barriers and skull mountian are from Rebel Minis. The skull painted up nice. The barriers have a printed plastic feel with a striated look the takes some sanding to get a decent look. ...
Rogue Planet: Le Beast Bu’ger
The daughter gave in to my strong-arm tactics and ice-cream based bribery to join me in a miniature wargame miniature campaign. We are using Rogue Planet, a lesser known title that features an action-reaction initiative system with a lot of quirky combat and movement subsystems. For this mini-campaign, we sat...
Rogue Planet Quick Reference Sheet
Apparently, there aren’t any publicly available QRS’s for Bombshell Games’ Rogue Planet. You can find some files on BoardGameGeek for download, but they are behind a membership wall, and…yeah. Not interested in going down that road any more. So here’s a little something for you few fine fellows who...
New Year, New Project
Time for an annual genre shift. 2017 was a year filled with fantasy. My fantasy table is as complete as it needs to be and my fantasy figure tackle box is crammed almost to bursting. The pair of long weekends for the holiday mean that I’ve had time to...
Drone Sweet Drones
Two years ago, while travelling through upper Cali, I found these little guys inside the glass case of a comic/gaming/general nerdery shoppe called Bat Comics and Games. At only a buck each and perfect for drones in 15mm scale, I snatched them up. They had no identifiers, but that’s...
Quick Hit: Kid Stuff
The 11 year old has a little extra time on her hands this week, so she decided the miniature collection needed a few additions. Here, a cleaner bot (left) has been interrupted by a tentacular blue alien (right). Proud poppa is proud....
Chicken Joe!
Ain’t this little alien civilian nice? He’s yet another 15mm.co.uk figure. He was cheap and fun, so he got tossed into the basket of my last fantasy purchase. He made for a nice palette cleanser after all of this year’s fantasy....
A Bit of Sci-Fi
Chalk these two little guys up to the lead mountain. They’ve been based and primed for a long time, just kind of hanging out in the queue waiting for inspiration to strike. It never did, so I finally just knocked out a quick bronze and silver pattern respectively. ...
