Slaves to Darkness

I didn’t do much on the plague tower this weekend as I was striving forward with the army to go with it. My basic warrior is based on a chaos space marine legs, torso and arms with a basic head and weapons swap and leaving the backpack off. My Chaos Sorcerer Lord is based on […]

Grid of Death – Battle Report

The Tribeship Torvax is home to the Bloodline Tribe of Solar Raiders, one of the largest among the SolRad fleets it harbours impressive hab-domes, rich, but artificial jungles fill the domes in order to create a self sustaining breathable atmosphere on the ship. A small invasion force of Vel scout the Torvax after infiltrating it […]

A Step in the Gridded Direction

Today’s project was to start work on a gridded gaming surface that I can use while my gaming space is at a minimum. I picked up two cork notice boards that were 30x40cms, painted them green and put a 5x5cm grid on both with a permanent marker. I’m cooking up rules in my head, and […]

The Battle For The Pudding – Battle Report

‘The Pudding War’ was a small and short lived conflict between the nations of Caerdonia and Su Khan, and was fought entirely within the Boskova Mountain range on the border between the two countries in the year 1237AC.

Today I purchased two sets, one labelled Super Heroes and another Spacemen and Aliens (I think… I’ve thrown away the boxes at this point). I swapped heads and hands […]

Army Soldiers

Here’s today’s purchase despite protests from the wife of ‘Don’t you have enough army men?’ You’ve probably seen these Matchbox copies before on other blogs or in stores so I’m not breaking any new ground here, other than to say the marked price of £6 (a bit pricey I admit) once I had reached the […]

Tales From The Portable Gaming Case: Gladiators

So I take four of the ‘trees’ (tin foil glued to washers and flocked) put them in a square to create a rough representation of a 3×3 grid. I then flip over the top card of the deck, the card shows an arrow moving from one grid square to another. First the figures in the […]

A Simple Idea for Fantasy Skirmishes

A very long time ago I had a different blog, I recently rediscovered some of the posts there and they were long and rambley, with very little in terms of content that would be interesting to anyone other than myself. What I did discover there though was several attempts at producing ‘stat less’ skirmish games. […]
