Let’s face it, wargaming is a fringe hobby, and my style of wargaming is on the fringes of that hobby.  I play games that are ten years out of print and in scales that are far from popular even in cities with thriving gaming cultures.  Honolulu ain’t one of...

It’s summertime.  No soccer coaching.  No homework.  No marathon training.  This is supposed to be the busy time for catching up on a year’s worth of miniature wargame stuff.  And yet, thanks to a big move and work and other boring real world stuff, progress has slowed to a...

I’ve had these two archers languishing in my paint box for months.  They are the best I could do at finding female archers for characters in the long-on-hiatus D&D campaign for my kids and their friends.  Pendraken’s Amazons might work, but they’ll need a lot of green stuff before...

Work on the home front and my home on the work front finally slacked off enough to let me paint up two more buildings for the Pocketmunda terrain board.  When done, this board should work just find for the scenarios included in the Tomorrow’s War main rulebook as well....

Quick update for future reference:  The above shot shows how Rebel Minis’ Sons of Thunder stand compared to more standard 15mm fare.  All figures are Rebel Minis....

[Updated May 29, 2013:  Additional AAR’s added to links at bottom of post.] The boy and I had another opportunity to play a wargame in a way that required us to don sunscreen before rolling them bones.  Just another day in paradise.  We have enough 10mm tanks to take...

More “Look what I painted,” for your dining and dancing pleasure.  Khurasan has a nice line of street level terrain.  This is two packs, two dumpsters for a buck a piece and two packs of drums at fifty cents per drum.  Normally this is the sort of thing I’d...

Today we have just another, “Look what I painted,” post.  This time around in Khurasan’s Troopers in Hazmat suits.  This brings my yellow suited warriors up to nineteen, although the one on the far left is unarmed.   Here’s a comparison shot of the Khurasan troops (inside) next to Rebel Miniature’s...

A few weeks ago, you saw this jungle terrain for the boy’s 40k games.  Those bases wound up going to a good friend for a birthday present, leaving the boy’s table a bit sparse.  Five bucks and a bit more variety in plastic gave us some spruced up jungle...
