Now we’re getting to the fun stuff for my son’s space dwarves.  They’ve now got a command squad to go with the four regular squads.  These six figures are part of 15mm.co.uk‘s line of Space Vikings.  The great thing about 15mm.co.uk is that, unlike most manufacturers in the 15mm...

Just a couple of quick shots of one layout showing the whole town.  This should give you an idea how the paint scheme for the houses is bright and varied, but hangs together as a whole. Gimme some time, and I’ll lay it out with all the trimmings to...

Various life adventures stalled work on the one box sci-fi terrain, but we’re back in business.  The last three buildings are all painted and clear coated.  Two small buildings and the big old factory-style behemoth wrap up that phase of construction. The balcony cover on that big building looks...

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....

If this corn-fed, midwestern wargamer knows his street vernacular, and unless Urban Dictionary has lied to me yet again, “shorty” is a slang term for a hot suburban woman.  That would mean that my daughter’s Pocketmunda gang is the first set of shorties that I’ve painted up.  Which would...

[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...
