Put some color on three bridges for Notromunda this week, and they sure are bright.  Starting to worry that my pulp sci-fi urban terrain might wind up being downright garish. I think that the red pearl stickers help bring these together, even if the primary colors I’m using clash...

The next name on my dance card is Tigers by the Tail, featuring the hot tank-on-tank action of 5 DPRG Chonma Ho’s escaping from a pair of M70 Perkins.  This is the second scenario included in the main rulebook of Tomorrow’s War, and to expedite the game I’ve made...

Got a couple of points to add to yesterday’s Tomorrow’s War post.  They didn’t make the final cut because the AAR was getting a bit long.  Neither is enough to justify a full blog post, but they are each perhaps worth a brief mention. The Shroom House You might...

The boy has been pestering me to buy and paint a full unit of Rebel Mini’s slick new Sons of Thunder alien dwarves.  He’s a bit jaded on the skirmish level gaming after seeing four of his Mangalorc gang killed in action and his leader captured by his sister’s...

All of these trees set me back by a dollar.  That’s one dollar for the whole lot.  Don’t you just love wargamer swap meets.  Shame they only happen twice a year around these parts. Normally, these are glued together to form four tall trees suitable for 28mm figures.  What...

That bastard Nurgle just won’t leave me alone, and the Emperor doesn’t seem to be doing squat to protect me.  Three weekends in a row I’ve been laid low by some dumb cold or flu or Warp-Pox, too sick to paint and that’s really saying something. Still and all,...

Before we get to today’s scatter terrain, let’s review, shall we?  Your humble editor has been whiny about how ‘dark’ his tabletop looks.  For once, he decided to run a test paint job before getting too deep into painting the small city’s worth.  Here’s how that worked out: Still...

It just wouldn’t be a miniature wargame without a few barrels on the table.  Check that one off the list: Nothing too novel here.  Those are all electronic doo-hickeys ripped out of an old and irritating childrens’ electronic piano.  They are glued to a base for added weight and...

Getting out of the GW all-dark-and-gothy-look is proving harder than anticipated.  I’m just so used a dark palette that my work keeps ending up not nearly as bright as anticipated.  There is one way to brighten up the table though – lights.  These look like streetlights, don’t they.  I...

In retrospect, this park isn’t very pulpy.  At some point, that statue of a long forgotten hero of the DPRG will have to come down for a nice art-deco style sculpture.  For now, though, a finished terrain piece is worth two in the “someday” column. The real reason that...
