The Return of Deathzap

After attempting to build up my painted model count I was increasingly finding myself working on older projects. Eventually I knew I had to return to this blog’s namesake game Deathzap! The rules in their original incarnation are on the menu for this site and I am currently also ruminating on Deathzap 2, but before […]

Quarantine Painting Projects

So over the last week I’ve been picking up those abandoned painting projects and either finishing them off or starting a few for the first time. I’ve painted three warbands for Darkfell. Zombie pirates and their controlling Voodoo Priests… Some Landschneckts… And some bizarre animal based knights. All minis are from Irregular and have their […]

Irregular Miniatures 2mm Yobbo Army

The Mrs and I are self isolating because of a cough. We managed two days back at work before another 14 day holiday. Hope you’re all keeping safe given the circumstances! I should get a lot of hobbying done since there is not much else to do. I dived (dove?) in this morning on my […]

Mechstorm

A while back I wondered what a Donald Featherstone Mech Combat ruleset would look like. I give you Mechstorm. The smaller Mechs are painted and based pieces from Risk 2210AD, the larger mechs and flyers are from EM4 (you probably already recognised them). For the rules the smallest of the Risk Mechs I named ‘Pups’, […]

Irregular Miniatures 15mm Star Marines

Here’s a bunch of guys I’ve had my eye on for probably a decade. Irregular Miniatures 15mm Star Marines were one of my first purchases this year. I’ve painted up a small force speedily to get them to the table, they’ve been primed white and then hit with contrast paints, I’ve picked out the metallics, […]

15mm Sci Fi Rules Ideas

Here’s a little bit of fun I think has legs! While I don’t have much if any suitable terrain for 15mm figures a stripped down Darkfell board will suffice for some play testing. Here’s a little look at my current thinking on how a sci-fi, or other game could be played. Each unit has a […]

Alternative Armies 15mm Ort Company

Here’s some miniatures I had my eye on for a very, very long time! From Alternative Armies Asgard range we have the Orts! As I mentioned I’ve wanted some of these for nearly a decade and only picked them up a month or so ago. They’re great little aliens, big robotic heads and small cloaked […]

Irregular Miniatures 15mm Space Scum (WIP)

I’ve recently been working on a Christmas present I received from my lovely wife a 15mm 100 figure Space Scum army from Irregular. They’re a work in progress so far, and I’m only working on an initial force of 25 figures, but here’s where I’m at. 5SF44 ‘Armoured Dwarf with Bolter’. These come in two […]

Irregular Miniatures 2mm Aliens

I finally got round to painting half of my 2mm sci-fi battle pack from Irregular Miniatures which I have based up for ‘Hell On The Margin’ the ruleset you get in the pack. Here’s everything. Hell On The Margin tells you to base things on 50mm x 30mm, although they recommend basing in threes a […]

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 […]
