My son received a few more Imperial Guardsmen from a friend this Christmas.  He knows that if he plays a game with them sans paint, that his old man will feel such overwhelming shame that he’ll take the dang things and paint them for him.  He did it to...

Of course the title of today’s post is referring to college football season (and the reason for my recent silence).  January 1 really needs to be rechristened as the Feast of Saint Football.  Congratulations to Alabama – it’s nice to have a legitimate national champion again. Sad as it...

This cargo bay is off to a good start.  As it stands, it’s kind of like a rock band – it’s just not complete without any drums.  It looks a little sparse, but I don’t want to take up too much valuable gaming real-estate, so once I block a...

Pocketmunda is a side project for those times when work on the big spaceship is on hold for one reason or another.  A small table of urban terrain in the Necromunda style for 15mm gang fights.  As an easy kickstart to the terrain build, I picked up ten paper...

The lowest level of the big ship now holds the central power core for the craft.  You are looking at (from bottom up) the cap of a gallon of milk, three dowels used to secure wood furniture (think Ikea pegs) between a couple of wooden disks, the cap of...

The game isn’t on for me yet, but it’s getting closer all the time.  The game is on for my little mans, because the game room is officially open. Anyone up for foosball? Maybe some ping-pong? And on the table in back you can see a couple of magazines....

This blog was supposed to keep me grounded.  It’s called War In A Box for a reason – that’s supposed to remind me that I’ve got no space and that every game needs to fit into a tidy little box.  The spaceship I’ve been working on is super-kewl, but...

Finally.  The Doors.  You may have noticed that half the doors on the spaceship are really, really tall.  Like this: There’s a reason for that.  I wanted doors that open and close.  This week I built the doors that slide up and down.  Here’s a look at the finished...

Happy Boxing Day!  In honor of whatever is those kooky Canucks celebrate today, let’s all point at Warren and laugh at how he still hasn’t learned his lesson.  Remember way back earlier in the year when I spent hours building roads for Car Wars and when they done it...

More starship crew members today.  Ran out of heads so the twins on the left have to stay that way.  The guy with the big gun…that started life as a GW pistol in a holster.  The guy in the trenchcoat is the only one not from the ‘Law Officers’...
