Wampas got you down?  Spent the night inside a Taun Taun?  Maybe Dad just hacked off your lightsabre arm.  Whatever has you down, this little number will fix you right up. Filled with the finest nano-enhanced bio-regenerative slime, this medical tank is a must have for all deep spacers. This...

Ground Zero Games makes these spiffy little figures they call “Sci-Fi Mercenaries” or somesuch, but they’re really space orcs.  We’re gonna go with the ‘black primer/white drybrush” method on these bad boys.  As my first 15mm figures, I’m not sure how well it’s going to work, but it’s hard...

Remember that Silent Running gag I pulled a couple of days ago that nobody really understood because Joan Baez sings a lot of songs about trees and that movie is pretty obscure and older than me and I’m no spring chicken my own self and the post had no...

Those of you that are just here for the 10mm figures can rest assured that we’re not done with those.  Tonight I finished painting up my son’s Sand Raider infantry pack.  These are Dream Pod 9 figures for the Heavy Gear game.  Darned if I can find a link...

The good ship Everything needs a way to move air around for the meat sacks that pilot it.  The things that eat the meat sacks that pilot it also need a way to move around unobserved.  The meat sacks that pilot the ship need a way to move about...

Yesterday we talked about the three different styles of stairs.  Today I want to talk about why I didn’t just use one template.  It all comes down to asymmetry. Asymmetry is important from a gamesmanship perspective.  If all three sides of the rocket are identical, that limits the tactical...

Among other things, I’m thankful for all of you who check in and make this blog worthwhile.  I’ve been in a gaming drought for a while, and this helps me feel like a member of the community.  I’m also thankful to live in a time when it is so...
