I had my first opportunity to play this game last Friday and what a fun game it is. The idea is relatively simple – players are trying to complete connections between different stations and get points for the length of … Continue reading
Saturday saw the first Tabletop Day (named after the Will Wheaton YouTube show), so Peter and I took the opportunity to play a few games of Memoir ’44. It’s such a good game. Tight rules, fast play and a lot … Continue reading
Peter and I played the WWII variant of this game last week and it was great fun as always. It’s not the kind of game you can take too seriously, but we had a fun couple of games. In the … Continue reading
So I finally got around to a bit of painting in 2013! I haven’t matt varnished them yet, hence the slight sheen. Here are the first models I’ve completed this year – Sue Witchling Handler Misaki and Rusty Alice (Puppets) … Continue reading
I’ve owned Grind since it was released, but last night was the first time I actually got to play it. If you’re not familiar with it, Grind is to the Iron Kingdoms as Blood Bowl is to the Old World. … Continue reading
Wyrd, the guys who make Malifaux, released a boardgame last year called Puppet Wars. One of the nice things about the models in the game is that they can be used to represent models in Malifaux. I decided I wanted … Continue reading
Here are a few more Puppet Wars models. I’ve attached Bête Noire to a 30mm base (using Blue Tac) as I hope to use the puppet Ressurectionists as a Malifaux crew. I’m planning to scratch build a Puppet Avatar Seamus … Continue reading
I’ve really been enjoying these guys. There are 18 models in the Puppet Wars box and I like the sculpts. I thought the puppet artwork in the original rulebook was great and the transition to models has been executed very … Continue reading
I’m really enjoying painting these now. Here’s the Convict Gunslinger, Lady J and a Silurid. Owen
I’ve enjoyed painting these. The colours are so bright and vibrant, it makes a real change from how I usually paint. These are five of the ‘demo’ models used in the intro games described in the Pattern Book. From top … Continue reading
Happy New Year everyone. I hope 2012 brings you joy and peace. I’ve had another good year on the blog. I’ve written 98 posts this year, down a bit from last year. Not bad considering little Ciarán arrived in May! … Continue reading
We have a new wargames shop here in Maynooth called Gamers Hub. It opened a couple of weeks ago and stocks Privateer Press (Warmachine and Hordes), Games Workshop (Warhammer, 40k, etc.), CCG (Magic The Gathering and all that nonsense!), board … Continue reading
When I was in Hamburg last month the only ‘wargame’ Phil and I played was Memoir ’44. We used to play it a bit before he moved to Germany. If you haven’t played it it’s a fun boardgame that plays … Continue reading
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 … Continue reading
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
