Seems like every week miniature wargame manufacturers are adding more and more female character types to their catalogs, and 15mm figures are no exception.  Today we feature a small pack of shorties from Bombshell Miniatures.  They’ve got a full catalog of big figures with full figures, but just the...

Last week was nice – showing off a couple of really old figures from the attic box.  Here’s another figure from way back in the early days of painting.    The chunky plastic flying the colors of my alma mater is a Space Ranger.  Back in the day...

Quick shot of some bystanders for 15mm sci-fi games.  First up, four dudes in space suits of one sort or another.  I think they are all from 15mm.co.uk.  From left to right:  ?, HOF57A, HOF86C, and HOF86C Can’t find that guy on the left anywhere on 15mm.co.uk’s website,...

Lancelot Link to the rescue!(Eureka Miniature) A few of my favorite blogs are my favorite blogs in part because from time to time they issue a post consisting entirely of pointers to other blog posts that find interesting. Those always tickle my fancy because they expose me to cool...

Just when you think you’ve got it all under control…one of your dealers stops by to, you know, just to say, “Hey man, got some good stuff here.  Whattaya into man?” In this case my dealer would be old Gavin Syme over at 15mm.co.uk, which is fast becoming by...

Been daydreaming about a new Big Box of terrain specifically for the infiltration missions that are an expected part of Osprey’s Black Ops rules.  The top of one building – maybe two connected by multiple walkways or leapable gaps – should be plenty big enough for a stealth mission....

Is it too early for a New Year’s Resolution? While deep in the throes of last post’s naval gazing, my subconscious maundering was given a second kick in the short pants by Oldben1.  Over on a thread he started on the Lead Adventure Forums he asked for ideas on...

Does it count as a manifesto if you know deep down that it’s really more a set of guidelines? The other day the inimitable Peter Del’Orto had a great post on why he doesn’t wargame so much anymore. So that got me thinking about my own view of wargaming as...
