Ten months ago, I commissioned a one-of-a-kind miniature, and it just arrived last night… Something tells me things are going to slow down here at War In a Box....

Turns out those deodorant bottles are frigates, and we’re moving on to assembling the cruisers and battleships.  At least that’s the terminology for Full Thrust. The first attempt at the bigger class ships didn’t go so well.  The plan was to fill odd shaped shampoo bottles with Great Stuff...

Well over a year ago, I posted a teaser for a miniature wargame project using all sorts of household odds and ends.  With a wargamer’s birthday coming up in a little over a month and a half, it’s time to put this plan into action.  The plan is to...

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...
