Screw Wars – The Apocalytes

Rivals to the Royalist Star Forces of King Philip-Zed the 4th are the Apocalytes. The Apocalytes worship the ‘Great Bore’, is it a worm? Is it a maggot? No… it is the Great Bore! The hole in everything! The backbone of the force are the cultists, plentiful, poorly armed and under-armoured but they make up […]

Screw Wars

(I mean that literally but in two different ways.) I’ve long been inspired by Tony Adam’s woodscrew wargaming army: https://thewoodscrewminiaturearmy.blogspot.com/?m=1 Unfortunately Tony passed away two years ago. But the spirit of woodscrew wargaming lives on. The Man of Tin blog frequently references Tony’s army, and only the other day I spied some woodscrews being used […]

Infinite Battles – Another Irregular Project

One thing I’ve always wanted to have is a generic system that could be used for anything – fantasy, historical, sci-fi, anything. The idea is to keep the rules interesting enough that they give a good game while also allowing you to stat your own units to fit any genre or period. I’m calling it […]

A 6mm Distraction

Occasionally I find things in the drawer of abandoned minis. In the week just passed I found some 6mm infantry from Scotia Grendel and some sci fi tanks from Irregular. I think the trick I’ve learned is to paint less and paint more starkly. Don’t do too many highlights, keep your scheme simple and striking. […]

Warpstar Nemesis

A package arrive from Irregular two days ago. Excitedly I pulled the newspaper packaging apart and spied my new forces, ready to relive one of the first rulesets I ever wrote ‘Warpstar Nemesis’. Two armies face eachother across a barren wasteland… who will claim ownership of the wooden block factories? Army Blue (top left) or […]

Creation of a 2mm Battlefield

I’ve never had a scenic board before, although I have been very envious of all the YouTubers and bloggers online that have fantastic gaming setups. But I thought I do have the space and all the stuff to produce a board for my 2mm fantasy armies, so excitedly I set to work! I started out […]

Featherstone’s Ancients for 6mm Fantasy Battles?

I woke up rather early this morning, the house was quiet so I thought I’d play a little Solo game. I grabbed my 6mm Fantasy Armies with the intent of doing my best to work with the Ancients rules found in the following tome: There were some nice adaptations I could make right off of […]

6mm Fantasy Battles

My previously mentioned 6mm Irregular Fantasy figures arrived yesterday and were quickly painted up. I find a 28mm figure when painted properly can generally be completed in an evening, for 15mm figures you can do a squad in a similar time, and for 6mm armies you can manage a small army. I’ve also been considering […]
