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 […]

Not Quite the Battle of Five Armies… The Skirmish of Four Warbands

More playtesting of my Fantasy Bash (needs a better name) rules occurred the other day. I played out a small tournament between four warbands of roughly 100 points each. Up first the Undead took on the Orcs, and the Undead came out on top, I suspect largely because the Necromancer poked his head around a […]

Irregular Miniatures Samurai Painting Competition!

I sent in my entry today: I didn’t spend a huge amount of time on this guy, but I do really like this figure so consider this a plug for Irregular’s 54mm Samurai range! The pose is nice and the figure is nicely detailed too, and required little to no clean up. There’s a few […]

More Irregular Fantasy Bashing

Here’s where my latest bedroom floor game ended, with the Dwarves wiping the Elves out. I played with much smaller warbands this time of five figures each and both coming in at 100 points. 100 points seems to be the ‘sweet spot’. The Elves had: Two Wyches, a Warlock, a Warlord and a Wasp (I […]

An Irregular Fantasy Bash

I’ve recently been painting some Irregular Miniatures 28mm Fantasy figures for some skirmish gaming. For you today I have two warbands, first up are the Dark Elves: Second up are my Dwarves: I played a brief game tonight with some quickly hashed out rules that probably deserve a post in their own right, the goal […]

Sasquatches and Shardmen

In the interest of being a tad more outlandish with my fantasy armies in 2mm I put together two forces of lesser known or maybe unknown fantasy archetypes and had a little game because you can paint a 2mm army as anything you want, so why stick to the norm? My first outlandish army were […]

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 […]

We’ve had 6mm Fantasy, how about 2mm?

Rummaging around through various boxes I came across a bag of Irregular Miniatures 2mm stuff which I believe were a French Napoleonic army, but I quickly turned them into two fantasy armies and still have a ton of figures left for more projects! I played a little game on the box I paint stuff on […]

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 […]

Irregular Miniatures 15mm ACW

I recently picked up a 15mm Skirmish Pack from Irregular (if the title hadn’t given it away) and have been slowly working my way through painting it. The pack includes 10 union infantry and two cavalry, an equal group of confederates, two trees, a house, a farmer, the farmer’s wife, some livestock and the farm […]

Irregular Miniatures – ‘Mobile Suits’

Irregular Miniatures has some fun corners to explore, and one such place is their 6mm sci-fi range, here halfway down the page you’ll find their ‘Mobile Suits’ section containing one product for £13.20 a set of four robots and rules to use with them. The robots have two shoulder pegs to attach arms to and […]

More ‘Statless’ Gaming

I’ve been flitting somewhat between projects of late. A recent acquisition from Irregular Miniatures included some of their fantasy figures: Goblins and Dark Elf Witches above, but I’ve got something from every race present to work my way through painting. I’d considered delving into an existing fantasy skirmish system, but alas once again I am […]

That Eclectic Miniatures Heroscape Ripoff Game

So I’ve been painting a lot lately, and haven’t been playing much, even solo. So I thought I’d play a quick game with those 15mm figures I picked up from Irregular a few weeks back. Hopefully you’re not too bothered by historical inaccuracy in your games although funnily enough only one of the units here […]

Giants!

The Nephilim were in the earth in those days, and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bore children to them; the same were the mighty men that were of old, the men of renown. Genesis 6:4 Bible scholars may debate the meaning of this […]

Elamites

So I finished painting my Elamite warband this morning. Again, as with the Abramites from my previous post, there is a lot of artistic license with these figures. The reason being that much of the reference images you may see online for Elamites or in Osprey books are a good few hundred years later than […]

Bible Bashers: Biblical Skirmish Wargaming

‘Biblical skirmish wargaming’ is not a phrase you often hear thrown around. In fact if you put it into google as I did recently the top result I received was a blog with a single post made by me some years ago. http://bible-bashers.blogspot.com/?m=1 In reference to that post on that dusty old blog I can’t […]
