The Zhodani Commando: February 2022

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.

Mantic Games Hell Boy

Well way back in March of 2019 I went to Adepticon and discovered Mantic Games kickstarter game Hell Boy. Of course I am a huge fan and have Comics, movies, little plastic colored toys of everything Hell Boy.

Alas it sat on my pile of to do things and I just never got around to it. This March it will be a full three years and I was like this is bull crap and time to get off my butt. There are quite a few minis in this awesome packed little Dungeon crawler, so I decided to take off bite size chunks and assess the situation when I completed each little bit to see if I still had interest to proceed.

My plan is to start with Hell Boy's BPRD team and then do the frog men/monsters. From there maybe the Germans, and then I have the Werewolves and such. plus two unopened expansion boxes but I am not even going to go there yet.

The last three days has seen me make a good start in the project. I just have Abe to finish, and I chose to do him last because I knew the green would be a bitch to do. But here is what I have accomplished so far.

[...and the team so far]

Hopefully in the weeks to come I will keep my enthusiasm for this and finally make it happen. Three years is a long time. Being able to possibly play it in March would be the anniversary and do some justice to my procrastinations.

As always thanks for looking.

Cheers

MA.K Maschinen Krieger (SF3D) Super Armored Fighting Suits

Ugh, these took me forever to finish. Lost my muse. But I finally struggled to push these out the door. My first platoon, of a company I plan on completing, of S.A.F.S (Super Armored Fighting Suits for the Mercenaries/earth).

As always thanks for looking.

Cheers
