From the Archive – Hard and Blurry
Note much to say about this mind-1990s figure except that he has mainly seen use in a giant monster rampage style game. Not even sure what manufacturer makes this guy. RAFM? He stands easily twice as tall as most 25mm-ish figures, so it’s acutally a giant cyclops skeleton....
Tiny Little Ruins
The Fantasy Big Box for One Hour Wargames needed a little something extra, and with the long Thanksgiving weekend, there was plenty of time to goof off at the hobby bench. (It’s really more of a counter.) So I slapped together a quick terrain piece to spruce up the...
Hump Day Dump Day #5: Eye Candy Edition
It really is a great time to be a wargamer, especially in 15mm. I’d argue that we aren’t so much in a Golden Age as a Platinum Age. The shopping list in my head includes the names of at least ten manufacturers producing as wide a variety of figures...
Black Ops, Trial Run
In northern corner, the crew of the G.S.S. Myconis, four hard charging Special Forces. Crew of the SS Myconis, from left to right, a specialist,heavy, trooper, and ace. In the southern corner, a dozen conscripts working for Hazmat Security, Inc. An ace, a heavy, and ten troopers. Since this was...
From the Archive – Big Red
You know what goes great with leftover Turkey? Old miniatures! Every collection of wargame miniatures needs at least one dragon. This one marks the first time that I was able to get the shading on the color red done right. For some reason it took a big canvas and...
Actual Play – Barbarian Prince – Episode 1
If you haven’t seen it yet, Castalia House Publishing has a new blog feature called Wargame Wednesdays, for all of us hex-and-counter-philes. The series has inspired me to push some cardboard around. All of my kids love themselves some Awful Green Things, and we spent a summer tooling about with...
Hump Day Dump Day – Issue #4
Happy Thanksgiving! Eat too much, laugh too loud, and sleep a little extra, but save Black Friday for some gaming. Meanwhile, have some more fireside reading for the long weekend. One Hour Wargames, Scenario 6 (Steve’s Random Musings): I then sat down to think of a scenario, but had a...
Black Ops, Around the Horn
Welcome to another clickbait article. This one has a lot less weird tricks and local single moms and a lot more Black Ops. With the rules out for less than a month, there aren’t a whole lot of actual play posts around the web just yet – I haven’t...
From the Archive – The Splice
Another Saturday night, and it looks like the archives are getting to be a regular feature around here. These little critters are examples of the Space Lice you can get from Irregular Miniatures for something like a buck and half each. Like most of Irregular’s miniatures, they look awful in...
15mm Sci-Fi Traffic Report
Scatter terrain. You’d be hard pressed to ever have enough of it on your urban table. Mine was sorely lacking in viable vehicles. Matchbox cars are passable, but they just don’t tie together with the rest of the terrain. There are a couple in this old shot, and you...
