Monster? I hardly knew her!

Khurasan’s tentacles star beasts are on the menu today.  Those arms look really wormy, so I painted them worm brown.  Instead of a green slime beast, I also went with a white hairy thing with brightly colored feathers.  Those feathers make it look like these guys are wearing bright...

Moving on…

The big rocket served us well, and will continue to do so in the days to come.  But it’s been a project almost 4 months in the making, and I’m getting a little eager to move on to something more traditional.  S’okay, though, because it’s done enough for government...

Game On! Not-romunda

This past weekend I finally had everything in place to introduce my son to the glories of Necromunda by way of 15mm figures and the great big ISS Major Tom.  The process was fairly painless as the boy has a firm grounding in the basics of the GW game...

Medic!

The Big Ship already has a med-tank for fixing Wampa bites, but it needs a medical bunk for less invasive and critical care.  Hence, the med-scan bunk.  This doohickey was built from card stock and wood bits. With paint it looks a lot more medicish: Put it inside a...

The Emperor Protects (painted figures more than unpainted ones)

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...

The Most Wonderful Time of The Year (Is Over)

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...

The Cargo Bay

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 – The Adventure Begins

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...

Power Core and Life Support

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...

Game On!

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....
