The Lead Pile Shrinketh

A long, long time ago, I painted up a few gangs for 15mm Necromunda games. One of the gangs consisted of GZG’s space mercenaries.  From the files In order make a decent opposing force for my son’s Space dwarves, I tried to add some power armor to the mix...

Hark!  The painting muse is upon me! Three new figures from 15mm.co.uk in the painted pile.  A civilian type alien, a grey dog or wolf, and an alien strongarm type.  The robed holy-alien will fill out crowds of civilians in urban/spaceport environs.  The dog was picked up for sentry...

Tyranny of Dragons, Session 12 – Chaotic Absent

Full disclosure:  Gaming and posting has taken a back seat over the last few months due to boring work issues.  The following recap is based off of the incomplete notes and recollections of the rest of the party, but mostly from a recap provided by our long-suffering and under-appreciated...
