Here it is, practically complete. I only have basing details left to do. It’s a monster of a miniature, but it was nice to paint and will look great in the Wood Elves army. I’m looking forward to the Gorey tournament now… When I have the patience I figure out how to photograph such a [...]

I was going to say that making a set of wargames rules available for download wasn’t exactly unprecedented as GW have done this with their Specialist Games range. However, that’s not quite correct, GW punted the games they no longer wanted to fully support onto the web as free downloads and left it to the [...]

I’m pretty good at keeping the ‘lead mountain’ under control. I only have about €150 of unpainted Warmachine and Hordes stuff. In order to get ready for MkII I’m not going to buy any new Warmachine bits before the Forces books start to roll out in 2010, so this is an opportunity to get all [...]

It is coming… Owen

Larger versions of this photo and the other views are available on flickr. Ok – I’ve stopped hating these guys enough to write a short painting guide. They are easy to paint, but there is a lot of fine detail that needs to be painted, so they are quite time consuming to complete. I’ll do [...]

A coat of varnish and these are done… phew! I’ll post a painting guide when I stop hating them for their finicky detail. Owen

I picked up my copy of the new edition of Space Hulk on Friday. I have the original game and both expansions, but as soon as its release date was confirmed I put in my pre-order with my FLGS. It is an excellent game with an amazing sense of tension. I played a demo game [...]

It’s 4am and I can’t sleep, so here’s a quick (and basic) guide to basing. It’s weird but quite often I see armies that are quite well painted, but haven’t been based. Basing a miniature is analogous to framing a picture. A simple, yet cohesive basing scheme in an army gives all of the miniatures [...]

(Larger Version on flickr) I’ve had this miniature since the No Quarter promotion and just didn’t make time to paint it until now. That’s probably because I’ve been proxying Eiryss with the Ordic Pistolier miniature which I quite like. I didn’t pick up the original Eiryss because I really didn’t like the sculpt. This alternate [...]

Okay – I’m too tired to write a proper battle report, so here’s a quick narrative review of tonight’s game. Dave’s army consisted of – Karchev the Terrible Behemoth Kodiak War Dog Widowmakers Mechaniks (5) I had a slightly altered list from that which I ran recently – Iron Lich Asphyxious Skarlock Gorman di Wulfe [...]
