Blog discription

What will you find here? Ramblings from an aging gamer-miniature painter. When I first started out in this hobby computers were in their infancy and finding other gamers could only be done by going to conventions or as in my case bumping into somebody who happened to see me reading "Panzer Leader" on the school bus. Look how far we have come! The internet has allowed our small community to be able to connect on a level I never dreamed of when I was but a small lad. What I do hope you will find here is something interesting from one wargamer/miniature painter to another. I paint miniatures somewhat decently, so I will be posting some pictures of my work, and perhaps a review or two of games and/or miniatures. Most of all this is just about having fun and anything I post here is meant to be for that reason.

Showcase: A Samurai to lead my Yamagata Masakage Ashigaru unit for Saga

This figure was built from Wargames Factory Samurai box set. While they are not the best sculpts or easy to put together, they do paint up really nice. I painted this one today to get a break from Warhammer 40K painting I've been doing. It was good to get back to painting a historical figure.

      Thank you Skip, and it only took me the same amount of time to do one as it would for you to do 8;)

    I second Skip's comments.
    Skip, I believe his war stare is directed at your samurai saga warband. If they are unable to take the field, the steppe nomads will have to do the honorable thing and dismount to oppose such a foe.

      Thank you Dave! Remember though, his Steppe Nomads are lead by Torok the Terrible, he knows nothing about honor;)

      Cheers
