May 31, 2010
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVnO5qqVBzc

Here’s a step-by-step video guide to painting the Executioner. I only had two hours to paint him, so I had to rush slightly. I think he’s turned out pretty well and will fit in with the aesthetic of the Lady … Continue reading →

Privateer Tier Previews

May 28, 2010

We’ve been treated to some Privateer treats with the previewing of the Shae and Fiona Tiers. Bell of Lost Souls have also previewed the Fiona the Black Tiers here. I haven’t painted Fiona yet, but I’ll have a look at … Continue reading →

Redesigning Deathjack – Part 3

May 28, 2010
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrG0X_k8SR8

More progress. It seems to be coming together quite nicely. It’s starting to look very insect like, but it is definitely Cryxian in origin. The only thing I’m concerned with finishing off is the top part of the chassis. I’m … Continue reading →

Flames of War – Gepanzerte Panzergrenadiers, Nebelwerfers and StuG Gs

May 27, 2010

If you’re not familiar with the German army from WWII that title probably makes no sense (unless you speak German)! I’ll explain what’s what as I go. With the addition of these platoons my German army is starting to get … Continue reading →

Redesigning Deathjack – Part 2

May 24, 2010
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bk4FsqDRew4

In my last post I showed a jumble of bits and a beaufitul piece of artwork. Yesterday I got started to turn that mess into something. Hopefully that something will look a little like the picture when it’s done! Anyway, … Continue reading →

Redesigning Deathjack – Part 1

May 22, 2010

I think Privateer Press have some of the best sculpts of any wargames company. Deathjack, however, is not one of them – I really don’t like the shoulder skulls or the horns on the head. Of course that’s just my … Continue reading →

Flames of War – Irish Guards Sherman Tanks

May 20, 2010

I’ve been interested in Operation Market Garden for a long time and the release of Hell’s Highway and A Bridge Too Far gave me a push to paint up some more Sherman tanks to support my US Paratroopers. Saying the … Continue reading →

Dirty Meg: Complete

May 19, 2010

I’m trying not to get totally sidetracked by other projects, but in the last while terrain, Malifaux, Epic Armageddon and Flames of War have all distracted my from painting my Privateers. I’ve had a unit of Press Gangers and Dirty … Continue reading →

Malifaux – My First Game

May 18, 2010

Overview Malifaux is a little different to other wargames. For one, there are no dice. It uses cards, pretty much the same an ordinary deck of cards, as the random element. This would be like rolling a 13 sided die … Continue reading →

Here’s a video of the completed crew. I need to do a little bit more work on the bases, but otherwise they’re finished. Owen

Building a 4′ x 4′ Wargames Board

May 15, 2010

I’ve been using the same flat battle boards for the last 5 years, so I decided recently that it was time to build a slightly more contoured board. I didn’t want it to be flat, but I also didn’t want … Continue reading →

Malifaux – Painting Lady Justice (The Guild)

May 14, 2010
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPPK2v4Z7Ew

I’m in the middle of writing a battle report from my first game. I hate playing games with unpainted miniatures and the crew was only partially painted for that one. I decided I’d remedy the situation. This video shows Lady … Continue reading →

Malifaux – Assembly (The Guild)

May 5, 2010
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEwJZGII7b4

I’ve finally succumbed to Malifaux. I looked through the background and the rules and I liked what I read. I didn’t analyse the stats and abilities of the different factions, but decided to choose based on aesthetic. I went with … Continue reading →
