Anthony and I played a 35pt game last night with Saeryn facing off against pDenny. The scenario was Process of Elimination from Steamroller 2011. In this scenario there are two parallel areas in the centre of the board that each player can score one control point off of, the first player to two points wins. [...]

Last month’s (April 2011) “Paint the Target” challenge on Lost Hemisphere was to paint a “Ranged Model”. It gave me an excuse to assemble and paint my Ravagore. I painted it at the same time as the Raek. Here it is – Assembling it took time, but wasn’t too bad. It is comprised of 18 [...]

I’ve been painting a Ravagore for this month’s “Paint the Target” challenge from Lost Hemisphere. I decided to paint this guy at them same time. He turned out pretty well. Owen

Anthony (of occasional Lost Hemisphere fame) sent me on this amazing piece of fluff that describes our game during the Frozen North campaign. I think it captures the single-minded focus of Lich Lord Venethrax. Draconic Souls The snow hissed and turned to steam under Venethrax’s heavy footfalls, evaporated by the crackling power field. The Seether [...]

Undying Loyalty Toruk’s spies had failed him. The Scourge Bringer had been rediscovered and he only found out about it weeks after. This failure would have to be rectified, but in the meantime he needed to retrieve the weapon from Everblight’s minions. Toruk does not like to rush things, but in this instance he had [...]

Here is an update to the two player ANNIHILATION campaign system based on a lot of play testing recently. This new version includes rules for models that bring other models ‘Back from the Dead’. ANNIHILATION v1.2 Feedback and experience would be most appreciated. Owen

This year is turning into the year of the campaign! I decided that I wanted to rebalance my painting and playing as I was finding I had many miniatures painted that had seen very little tabletop time. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy painting in its own right, but upon reflection I didn’t think I [...]
