The Old Gang has met a few times to work our way through the D&D 5th edition feature campaign, A Tyranny of Dragons, and while playing my son pointed out how far behind this blog was.  Here’s a quick update for those of you comparing your experience to mine:...

To say I haven’t been painting much lately would be a lie – I’ve painted the kitchen, the bathroom, the garage, etc.  Painting terrain at 1:1 scale isn’t as much fun as the 1:100 scale, so no pictures for you on that front.  On the sci-fi front, here’s the...

Added four more figures to the sci-fi skirmish selection.  On the left we have the last of the alien bounty hunters.  The three figures on the right are part of Khurasan’s post-apocalyptic line of figures.  Wolf-skin there doesn’t do much for me in a sci-fi setting, but the two...

More painted miniatures ready to roll.  These are more Khurasan figures – the bounty hunter pack 80% complete – for use in some sci-fi skirmishing.  Still haven’t run a game of 5 Parsecs from Home just yet, but we’re getting closer....

Nothing fancy this update.  Just a couple of quick shots of my freshly painted scientists from Khurasan Miniatures.  The scientist on the left seems like a bit of a mis-cast – his right eye has a gaping hole where his glasses should be, but it works just fine.  My...

Having escorted a small band of villagers and much needed supplies into the safety of Greenest’s keep, our heroes could spare little time for rest.  Tarbau and Escobar, the ranking officials within the keep, expressed profuse thanks and offered a safe place for a short rest.  First, though, something...

Still prepping to run a game of “Five Parsecs From Home”, a game that calls out for a bunch of random figures more than a coherent squad of uniformed types.  The failed experiment in tweaking 15mm figures left me with a couple of heavy armored alien types.  To split...

In anticipation of a new terrain build – 15mm interiors something along the lines of Tiny Solitary Soldiers – here are a few pieces of scatter cover.  First up, three plastic trees.  These are repainted Toob Trees primed black and dry brushed up.   The bases of the trees are fortification pieces from...

My big birthday present this year turned out to be a new miniature carrying case.  The Almost Awesome Storage Case just wasn’t cutting the proverbial mustard any more.  My collection is getting wider and more varied, so it was time for a change.  Behold the Plano 1362 2-by Rack...

It’s time for the 10mm sci-fi figures in my collection to shuffle out of the regular rotation.  For a variety of reasons, I’m abandoning the scale.  There are too many great looking 15mm figures out there for me to ever buy and paint them all.  The selection is broader....
