Thanks for the Meme-eries

 Howzabout some light hearted fun using shortcuts to humor? This one was somebody else’s: But it inspired me to make this: Because sometimes it really do feel like this:...

Tiny Turns

 These N-scale turn templates from Litko should work fine for my 6mm Gaslands game. It is a little bit, but we can make it work....

The Littlest Gaslands

Picked up a batch of the “Mad Ron” road warrior vehicles from Irregular Miniatures on a whim.  Just look at these tiny little knights of the road: Still have to paint those motorcycles, and the big dang semi-trailer slash war-rig.  The good news is that terrain is already done. ...

Scale Mail

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...

Bowling Green? #NotAtMyTable

With apologies to the Ohioans out there – it might be a fine university, but a bowling green makes for a bland wargaming table.  With very little room left in my One Fantasy Box to Bind Them All And In the Dark Closet Rule Them, grand topographic chances are...

The Compleat Castle Meatgrinder

Who are we kidding? A project like this is never complete, it just goes into hibernation. As we round out the year of fantasy skirmish here at War In A Box, let’s take a look at where the project stands. At the current time we’ve got over 50 characters in...

Quick and Dirty Comparison Shot

Let’s add to the pile of comparison shots floating around the web, shall we?  Last week I showed you the three power armored figures added to my space orc/space mercenary/mangalore squad.  Here’s a shot of the figures side by side: Just noticed that one of the guys on the...

Big Box Terrain, Part Two

Last time we looked at the forest base.  This time let’s look at the canopies for the still as yet unrevealed new project era. What you’re looking at is a cheap and easy alternative to the method used by these clever chaps here.  Their forests look great, but they...

From the Ground Up

We’re building this project from the ground up.  A bit of a departure for me, actually.  Normally I just sort of muddle through figures, rules, and terrain all in one big mish-mosh.  This time around it’s going to be rules, terrain, and finally figures. I’m starting with Neil Thomas’...

Mele Kalikimaka Loot!

Here’s hoping your celebration of the birth of our savior was a smashing success.  (As I type this, Hawaii is still in the midst of the throes of the birthday celebration.)  This year the lovely and long suffering wife fed my addiction with a copy of Neil Thomas’ latest...
