Tyranny of Dragons – Zero Dark Thirty, FR Style

We got bin Laden Frulahm Mondath! I think that’s his name.  He’s one of the high ranking priests of the Cult of the Dragon that’s been causing such trouble in northern Faerun of late.  Let me back up to the middle… When last we left our plucky band of heroes...

Grim, The Party Continues

Grim, a serious archer style rogue with a strong mercenary streak is second in the lineup of the heroes blundering their way through WotC’s Tyranny of Dragons campaign.  No idea if I got the colors right on this guy – his player missed the session where I asked for...

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...

Five Parsecs, First Time

This past weekend the boy and I played our first legit game of FiveCore.  His ragtag spaceship crew was hired by the local authorities to escort a key witness across town to the safety of a waiting armored vehicle.  My gangster and his hired goons, triplets in heavy armor,...

Sci-fi Skirmish Robot Pals

I’ve seen a lot of guys paint up this Khurasan robot (left) in a more colored ceramic style, as opposed to steel and chrome.  My effort just wound up looking garish.  Lesson learned – paint up the chrome underneath and then pick out the ceramic plates later. If you...

Sci-fi Skirmish Heroes and Adventurers

15mm.co.uk adventurer, Khurasan starship crew, and 15mm.co.uk Rim Mercenary Wow, did I screw up the face on that mercenary or what?  My starship crewman is painted up in a more flamboyant space pirate style… …he’s also a bit of a Deadhead, as you can see.  The adventurer on the...

Never Too Early

Win their minds when they are young, and you’ll have them for a lifetime… Choosing a starting figure. Time for flocking. I’m really more of a historical wargamer, Dad....

Sci-Fi Figure Comparison

As above, so below.  In life there are svelte and petite people and there are big ol’ chunky people.  So why should life on the tabletop battleground be any different?   That’s the question for today’s comparison between Khurasan and 15mm.co.uk figures. On the one hand, there is a...
