The Zhodani Commando: The left arm pivot maneuver...

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.

The left arm pivot maneuver...

Okay my Saurus riders have been set to the side, temporarily only, because my ex-friend from Georgia has quilted me into painting some more Samurai.

It doesn't matter that we are both running a game at a convention next week. It doesn't matter that I have had 6 months to paint what I needed to bring. It doesn't even matter that my ex-friend from Georgia has painted more stuff for our game than I have. I said to myself, he can paint two more figures for me... right? Let's just say he was having none of that nonsense talk from me.

Seriously though, he is not my ex-friend.... yet.... and I have set aside the Saurus riders to paint a few more Samurai for our event. I need another four Cavalry, and a General. Perry Miniatures makes these cool messenger riders that I was going to paint up one day and make up my own house rules to incorporate them into my Saga games. What better moment than now to paint one of them up and call him a General (Warlord in Saga). This will also keep my real nice vignette of one of my Samurai Warlord's from being crushed by players at the convention.

Too much going on with my paint table so I didn't get out my light box to take pictures and the lighting wasn't that great, but it's good enough to give you a quick peek at what I came up with for one of my Warlords that should be pretty durable in unknown hands.
