One of the things every wargamer wants to know prior to purchasing figures is, “How will these figures match with the ones I’ve already got.”  Some think that this question becomes more critical at the smaller scales, because a millimeter out of six or ten is a much bigger...

 The One box to Rule Them All continues apace.  Ten bucks netted me all these figures – four complete elven warbands.  The bright blue and yellow will help them stand out against other figures and the ground cover.  Note the dark green bases, which should help as well. ...

  Me:  I’m going to do more playing and less painting in 2018 Also Me:  I’m going to build four matched wargaming sets Me:  That’s not gaming, that’s still painting Also Me:  But it’s 10mm, that hardly counts Me:  It’s painting Also Me:  Have you seen these guys? Me: ...

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...

Last post I showed you my current project’s status.  For those new to Chateau Abox, I’m building four identical game sets, so that I can do some online wargaming with a tactical component.  If you ain’t pushing lead, you ain’t miniature wargaming, after all.  By using 10mm figures already in hand,...

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...

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...

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...
