It always fun to look back over the blog and reminisce about projects past. Sometimes I’ve forgotten about projects entirely, sometimes looking back over the blog reignites the embers of a formerly dead project. In January I hit the ground running with Havok: Havok was a game from my childhood, dead now, but once put […]

Hopefully this works! Here’s also a link just in case: https://youtu.be/So3RgDWgf9I?si=4YEu1C2mBAU19XaN Gremlins in the system!

In the mad world of finding things to replace the heads of army men with, at some point I landed on the idea of just smaller army men. I previously showed off my initial Mantaur: The problem I found in the lab, was what with each further iteration of the Mantaur, their cognitive abilities decreased […]

Things very quickly got out of hand. Much superglue has been consumed, much stuff thrown at walls to see what sticks. The Cubeheads were something I knew would work, as I’ve seen similar things before: A hobbyist called ‘Ben Has Hobbies’ has a game based entirely around the cube headed concept. https://youtu.be/Z8aqkhYBqg0?si=UPjRFZZqcNIYjGPR Chucking the pink […]

When the fingers hover over the ‘add to cart’ ‘checkout’ and ‘buy now’ buttons on various Wargaming sites, despite you being knee deep in already existing projects, I recommend having a little look around for that odd little itch scratcher before you take the plunge. Digging through drawers in my desk I found some bags […]

Put this down as a speed painting tutorial, with room to come back later if you want and add detail or tidy things up. I’m debating and all over was and drybrush, but I’m not sure this scheme needs it just yet. I got the idea from my older post here. When painting historical minis, […]

As sort of mentioned previously, I’m planning on making terrain and a gaming surface for my Ghost Legions project that differs from the table I use for Deathzap and the odd game of Bolt Action. I imagine the underworld is a bit ‘chunky’, where parts of the overworld or projections of it have been torn […]

(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 […]

With the lurgie going strong this week I mostly moved between a succession of naps and occasional snacking. However I did make some progress on the Ghost Legions front. Instead of going for my usual fluorescent ghost approach seen previously: I went down a more grimdark alley, inspired mostly by my small skirmish warbands seen […]

I recently procured a large bag of cowboys from Amazon. The figures looked decent enough, certainly a far better quality than a lot of what I’ve been painting lately. The only real downside to the figures was the lack of poses. There was only four in all. Poses I think originated with Airfix. So I […]
Read More Cambari GunslingersJendari Tigers
The first mention of the ‘Tigers’ dates back to the 67BC (Before Colonisation), where a loose group of militias joined together to defend a group of bases on Ganymede in order to help Titus Jendar’s work in restoring the Martian Portal. Use of the term ‘Tiger’ has not been without controversy, as traditional Tiger uniforms […]

After playtesting my Melt28 rules using the crappy terrain you find in bags of army men, I knew I had to do something with all the plastic I had accumulated. The figures themselves have a ‘Grimdark’ style now, or ‘Grimcandy’ as I coined it a while back. Dingy, but with vibrant colours. The terrain needed […]
