  My first Nightwatch. Since nobody else is going to do it, allow me.  If you’re ready to play Nightwatch, a solo fantasy skirmish game by Stalker7, then you’re going to want to use a more compact and efficient character sheet than those in the book.  They are fine.  They...

 Just added some odds and ends to the 15mm fantasy toolbox.  These are all from Irregular Miniatures. Let us start with some wildlife and a hapless porter making 1gp a day hauling too much gear down into dank holes filled with monsters. A bit of food and somebody to...

My first playthrough of the one dungeon to rule them all exposed a few holes in the lineup.  The place lacked a decent missile threat and that all important ‘ambush factor’. To beef up the undead ranks, and make parties that lack a clericbreally feel the pain, my necromantic...

Nothing helps sell the players on the notion of the dungeon as a place of pure, seething chaos like a good altar of evil, expect maybe TWO altars of evil.   Finding fifteens in the local FLGS (that aren’t remaindered Flames of War remnants) represents one of those fun...

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. ...

To fantasy up the four small wargame boxes, I needed something with a touch of magic.  Hence four wizard towers.  Yeah, they all look a little different.  So do the ponds and the houses and the woods.  And most of the figures.  It’s nice – they all have that...

Who doesn’t love a good fight against the dark elves?  Especially when Splintered Light makes such distinct and characterful figures!  The first four figures are the Personality Pack, and give you four unique NPC style bosses.  Rather than the usual purple dress, I went with a fall-time red and...

Happy Thanksgiving!  A better blog host would have had a nice Solomon Kane figure painted up.  Perhaps a cornucopia of fields and gardens can make up for it? It’s late autumn, just after the crops are in and the table fully dressed.  The crops are just MDF covered in...

My tombs were heavy on the physical dread and light on the spiritual dread, so I fixed that with a little help from Splintered Light.  Their ghostly packs sell packaged in numbers suitable for big battle games rather than skirmishes.  So I added a chunk of lead to my never-to-be...

Light on the texts, but heavy on the heavies, here’s how Splintered Light’s hill giants stack up against a typical (Ral Partha Europe) figure. I like this size.  Big enough to be a threat, but not comically so.  And the animal skin and skull necklace, and the weird proportionality...
