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.

Aristeia! The Game

 So I recently posted some photos of Wild Bill for Aristeia!, as well as Gata, but totally forgot to post the other two models in the crew I painted up for a friend of mine. So here is 8-Ball and Miyamoto Mushashi. I am posting Wild Bill and Gata again, because hey you gotta keep the crew together.

Aristeia! Wild Bill

 Finally got around to painting the 4th character to complete a crew for Aristeia! a Science Fiction gladiator game. This is for a friend who loves to play Miniature Board like games but not so much the painting hobby part. I am pretty sure this will make him happy. Know he will get plus one on all his rolls because mine are still unpainted! Oh well, we are getting there.




As always thanks for stopping by

Saga Mutatawwi'a

 Mutatawwi'a are religious troops who inspired by their faith have volunteered to fight. One of the Army boards from Saga's "Age of Crusade". I've painted up two points of fanatics (Hearthguards which are four figures per point spent), and I didn't go to crazy but kept them uniformed to perhaps portray the Chosen Ones elite bodyguard. 

These are Gripping Beast plastics along with Little Big Men shield transfers. Putting them together wasn't too bad, and I did have fun coming up with my own paint scheme. 





I like them, hope you enjoy the eye candy.

As always thanks for stopping by.

Cheers

Dragonborn character for DnD

 So tomorrow the Hellfire Club will meet again to continue our group adventure. I finished my Dragonborn character (Shaped by draconic gods or the dragons themselves, dragonborn originally hatched from dragon eggs as a unique race, combining the best attributes of dragons and humanoids.) a week or so ago and finally got around to putting a sealcoat on him. My two brave ten year old companions will be fielding their newly painted characters, one a rogue halfling, the other a human wizard. 

So far they are really digging it, and even I am excited to place my new figure out and swat at a few of those nasty little goblins. 

Oh and my Dragonborn character who's name is Medrash will be accompanied by his faithful friend Fang, a baby Wyvern. Think John Snow and Ghost in Game of Thrones.

Here are a few shots....






As always thanks for stopping by.
