My son received a few more Imperial Guardsmen from a friend this Christmas.  He knows that if he plays a game with them sans paint, that his old man will feel such overwhelming shame that he’ll take the dang things and paint them for him.  He did it to...

Remember way back when I first posted the construction of these bunkers? Yeah… Since I ran out of figures, I went ahead and painted them up....

“But Dad,” the boy tells me, “It’s okay, everybody plays with unpainted terrain!” “Not in this house,” I bark at him.  “So long as you live under my roof, you’ll play by my rules.”  Which is a bold faced lie, as 40K is anything but my rules.  We’ll let...

The boy traded off some terrain I built for him in exchange for more figures.  Well done him.  He figures he doesn’t need terrain because, in his words, “The store has terrain we can use.”  No son of mine is gonna be stuck using in-store terrain.  I’m raising him...

Zak S over at D&D With Porn Stars unilaterally designated May 29 to be International Anklebiter Illustrator Day.  To whit: 1. Locate a child.2. Locate two one-dollar bills or the local equivalent.3. Explain patiently to the child that you–a dungeon master or otherwise appointed administrator of a substantial swath of...

A couple of days ago you saw some junk being spun into Tau terrain in the hopes that the Tau terrain could be spun into gold – or at least some Imperial Guardsmen.  Here are the buildings with paint. The Tau stuff is really easy to design and paint....
