Category: painted figures

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,...

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...

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. ...

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...

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...

The One (Acutally Four) Box (Actually Boxes) to Rule Them All has been blooded. Check out the Castalia House blog, the best dang fantasy and science fiction blog on this or any other internet, today for a full review of how you – yes, you! – can play miniature wargames across...

Smack it on the bing-bong!  The four fantasy boxes are done. Four mounted troops, three big bossmen, thirty-five infantry, and a cute little doggo.  If you can’t field a good four skirmish forces out of that mix, you’re in the wrong hobby, buddy. This aerial shot shows how well the...

Been playing some Orcs Must Die! lately, so the painting slowed a bit.  My four year old loves watching those green waves get sliced and diced and hacked and whacked.  Big fan of floor spikes that one.  She better not expect these little guys to get chewed up, though. ...
