In honour of my good friend Eoin’s upcoming tabletop wargame release, I’m finally publishing this blog post. In fact, his first rule book is already available for purchase. The forthcoming follow-up, “Clash of Banners”, upgrades players from measly warbanding twirps, to full-fledged army commanders. The game is set in Túath, a fantasy world characterized by rich lore, including the aftermath of a cataclysmic event that split the land and the fall of an empire. “ “It’s Gaelic mythology, Byzantine Empire and Demons”” — Eoin McCormack There are even two miniatures available from the universe ava ..read more

It seems I'm only able to update this blog once or twice a year. My progress since the last update unfortunately only amounts to 5 painted figures. I’m still chipping away at Krull's host. Here are four Hearthguard for the Age of Magic force. They’re a mix of 3 old GW beastmen and one kitbash ..read more

Like the Wicked Witch of the West threatening her pretties in Munchkinland, I present to you: my FUGLIES! Seeing as it’s been nearly a year since I’ve updated this blog, I figured I would do a larger scale photoshoot for the fugs. Despite my best efforts, I actually captured something cinematic this time! This is my favourite snap (of mine) of all time. I call it, “Ambush at the Pond”. It features four travelers running into Krull’s Host. I almost always set my DSLR’s focal length to be the longest possible for any distance I’m shooting at, but something came over me and I got creative this ..read more

Meet Kholko, a Cowering Fiend of Dis. Interesting to me that his makers decided to name him as such, given his appearance. Back in March I promised to make some progress on a Saga Age of Magic Warband. This mini is that next bit of progress. I attempted to replicate the same sort of effects I had going on Krull, but I painted that beast many years ago, and my skills have honestly diminished considerably since then. Here is the warband as it stands. In other news: My son played his very first table-top (carpet-floor) skirmish wargame today. He has taken a surprisingly keen interest in miniat ..read more

A block of 6mm buildings designed by the Lazy Forger glued to some mdf. One block down, too many to count to go ..read more

I painted Kev White’s Chipster for my Bakunin Nomads. He is a great proxy for Wolfegang Amadeus Wolff, who is a total baddie when linked up with 4 moderators. He also happens to be the third ‘furry’ in my collection. Also painted a few more figs to add to the group. Managed a game against a good friend using my freshly painted troops. They got bulldozed obviously. Buddy won an extra pack of classified cards at a local tourny and passed them on to me! They’re super nice, and add extra complexity to and already decision rich game ..read more

Kings of War benefits from a hidden order mechanic in my opinion. So I made tokens for both of my 15mm armies. Issue one of four orders to each unit at the start of every turn and then alternate with your opponent revealing and executing. I tested it out with a buddy and it was pretty fun ..read more

I’ve been threatening to play a game of Saga: Age of Magic with my Oldenhammer buddy since before the pandemic began. I’ve finally started to paint some of the foot soldiers for an Otherworld force. Instead of just taking some regular beauty shots of them I decided to pull out the terrain, and snapped a short narrative. I give you: The Haunting of Dinkledorf. There is a shadow over Dinkledorf A Dark Consortium Krull’s Lieutenant Chaos in the Streets The Kings Men A Tremendous Melee Daemonic Oversight Valliant Men at Arms Otherworld Warrior Otherworld Hunter ..read more

It was a bright and sunshiny summer day when I nearly killed my grandmother and her best friend. Golden sunshine warmed my face through the back passenger window of a 1992 Oldsmobile Cutlass. While my grandmother drove us around I greedily tore into a booster pack of Pokemon cards, rifling through their images searching for that coveted rare star. And there he was. His poorly drawn, ill-shapen form staring back at me. I let out a shriek that caused both my grandmother and her friend to take their eyes off the road and look back at me. Luckily I didn’t cause us to go careening off of the road ..read more

Caught a game of Infinity a while back and my mojo has returned. New toy here for the nomads. The indomitable Task Master. For those in the know, this character comes with BS 13, Arm 5, BTS 6, W 2, Minelayer, Dodge + 1” and Martial Arts Lvl 1. Loadouts feature krazy koalas, tin bots and heavy weaponry. Here she is featured amongst the other skull-motif characters. This is the link team which I’m most excited to use her in. Paired with 3 Riot Girls and a Vostok Remote, she will lug around a Burst 5 HMG & Shock Mines. The link team includes a specialist, a Rocket Launcher to fight tags, a ..read more
