It’s a Riot!

 Matt Hartley’s Riot!  Revolting People from Watt Tyler to Watts is an interesting wargame.  It’s a truly fourth-generational game in which mobs of outgunned citizens try to effect change against a far better armed, but outnumbered, army of the ruling class. Enjoy some eye candy while I pontificate.  Alert readers...

Packing It In

Three posts in three days!  Woot!  Gotta love those three day weekends. It’s also fun to have things to show you guys that you haven’t seen yet.  Wish it happened more often.  Here it is – the whole shooting match. All nine square-feet of real estate can be tucked...

Gamer’s Eye View of the City

Merry Christmas!  My own little gift to you is a few shots of my completed cityscape.  Check this bad boy out.  Nine square feet of battleground ready for armies of little plastic warriors.  Of course, if you have more table to fill, and you have a ice gray drop...

Four Square Feet of City

As a Christmas present to myself, I completed the holiday preparations early enough that I could devote a few hours to finish up the big cityscape.  So here they are, the last four blocks of the city-scape. The round thing in  the back is some sort of modern concretesculpture/...

Home Stretch

Remember way back in October when I hoped to have this city table done by year’s end?  I’m not quite done, and it’s not quite the end of the year. The paint streaks show up in these photos more than they do in real life.  They are also way...

Big Project Blues

The problem with big projects like city scapes is that you do so many repetitions of the same work.  Take these shots, for instance: Two more buildings base coated and ready for The Dip.  But we’ve seen this before, haven’t we.  The only real new thing in this shot is the...

The Promised Land: Work In Progress

Just as promised yesterday, I’ve got the first of a series of work in progress posts for all you faithful reader out there.  Most of the work here was accomplished over the weekend: The brown portions of the ground here were primed, a little sand added, and then primed...

An Itch Not Fully Scratched

Wha-hey!  Guess who still has the gumption to slap some paint around?  That’s right, it’s your old pal, Warren. Check it, peeps, the public utilities board is totes complete: It’s a little light on cover, but it’s the heaviest board in the box. So it should be rugged enough...

Obligatory Still Kicking Post

If you must, feel free to insert a cliched “not dead yet” joke here. (That’s what most bloggers do when they return after an extended absence.)   Instead of that, I’m just going to stick with a meta-not-dead-yet joke instead. At any rate…here are a couple of shots of the...

Mini’s Eye View Redux

Happy Independence Day! Here’s a couple of quick shots of the new public utilities board from the tabletop:...
