Adventures in Wargaming
Welcoming a new range to the world of Ultramodern Wargaming is always fun, getting to take a look at new models, new styles and really dig into them. Alan from White Dragon Miniatures, a scrappy new company from Nottingham, very kindly sent me a pack of goodies. Contained within was a selection of models from … Continue reading Range Impressions: Courage In Contact
Previously on... Charge strays further from the 28mm light I assembled some buildings in preparation for a game of tiny machines of war Now, it should be said that my former housemate is someone who has managed to avoid ever collecting mainline Games Workshop, instead preferring to jump into the specialist games (such as his … Continue reading SITREP: … And Tiny Titans
With a company day off on Friday, I was able to arrange an evening of wargaming and food with my former housemate (who now lives relatively close that really, I should be playing more games with him). After some discussions, we decided it was time for him to get his Adeptus Titanicus collection out for … Continue reading SITREP: Tiny Buildings…
Thanks to the Easter break, my Dastardly regular opponent found himself with some free time on a Tuesday evening. Which for me meant it was time to finally get some playtesting of my fantasy rules in. I've mentioned them a little bit but this was the first time we actually got it onto a board, … Continue reading SITREP: A Little bit of Playtesting
In December 2020 I got my first 3D printer, the Elegoo Mars Pro and so began the trip into the 3d printing. I've written about it a few times before over the last year, as well as showing off some more models I've been working on that have been printed out at home. I've even … Continue reading 3d Printing – 16 Months and a Saturn later
Having been working like a mad person, I decided to actually take the easter bank holidays off this year. And so, as is tradition, I messaged my Dastardly Regular opponent to request a scuffle/setup a game. After a misunderstanding of days and me declining to run an Ultramoderns game (the rules still being WIP), I … Continue reading A Little Bit of Sharp Practise
Another 3d printed model - this time from Vae Victis. I spotted this "Evil Paladin" among the special characters included in the Match release and just had to get to work on him. With the mask and crown, I was strongly inspired by both the Leper from Darkest Dungeon and Baldwin from Kingdom of Heaven. … Continue reading SITREP: Faceless King
Another set of models finished, another set I'm really excited to write about! These guys are 3d printed figures made using two of Combat Octopus's kits - the bodies are from the Eastern European Criminal set with some heads from the MENA Civilians release. After printing on the Elegoo Saturn at 0.03mm, I ended up … Continue reading SITREP: Bazi Counter-Espionage Team
After having had them sat in the "to be painted" trays for a while, I finally pulled out the Aftermath team from Spectre. I will admit, this is a team that I bought, looked at and went "What a nice team, no idea what I'll do with them". However, I felt in the mood for … Continue reading SITREP: Aftermath Team
Oh boy, that time again. So you may have noticed March was a little bit quiet. Going to admit, I'm not having the easiest time at the moment in the old head box - finding it really hard to just sit down and focus on things in general so hobby stuff falls slightly down priority … Continue reading March 2022 Update
