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.

Border Wars: Under a Reiver Moon… The Border Infantry

 These guys where a hoot to paint. The sculpts are just gorgeous, and there maybe another 90 or so coming in a kickstarter. I really hope so, they are totally worth the money.

Just four more cows to paint and I am off to the races to game with these lads.

















As always thanks for looking!

Border Wars: Under a Reiver Moon… The Envoys

 So the Queen, or some other courtly official, sent the Envoys to the border to try and resolve the disputes. Flags of War with tongue in cheek made a set of figures for the Envoy’s based off the BBC series The Black Adder. 


Though I did not paint mine to mimic this comedy, I did my best to represent some generic looking costumes of the period. I believe I was successful in this.








I have more in the pipe to add to this small Skirmish game and will post more photos soon.


As always thanks for looking.

Adeptus Titanicus

So it's been since March 2021 since I've assembled and painted any Adeptus Titanicus. Man when one runs out of steam... 

I had two partially built Reaver Titans to go to finish my Legio, so I finished one and completed painting it, then started to finish the other before I became interested in something else shiny on my painting pile. I guess I am blessed and cursed to have so many choices. If I didn't have ADD I am sure I would complete projects in a more normal hobbyist manner (then again, I think everyone in my hobby has ADD, so maybe not). 

So while I am working on my Battletech, Border Wars, Rif Wars, and in-between all that chasing around my 15 week old puppy to prevent him from peeing all over our new rug (very limited success so far, and a lot less painting), amongst other projects. I thought I'd post a few pictures of my magnetized Reaver with multi weapon choices. So without further ado I present my Reaver Titan "Mortis Vult".  






 As always thanks for looking.

Battletech Jade Falcon Elementals

As a small quick project I painted up a Star of Elementals for the Clan Jade Falcons project I’ve been working on forever. I’ve got three Stars or a Trinary of Jade Falcon mechs that I have to place decals on and finish the bases. But Bolt Action got in the way. Hopefully I’ll finish them in a couple of weeks.






 As always thanks for looking.

Border Wars: Under a Reiver Moon.... Cattle

 I am hoping to run a game of Border Wars: Under a Reiver Moon at Pro or Con in September. This all depends though on my friend finishing his eight foot figures, and I, eight foot figures, three emissaries, and four cattle. Then us both getting together and playing a few games so we actually know how to teach and run the game. 

Things are moving slow due to some personal family issues but I have faith. The Sun still shines even on cloudy days. 





As always thanks for looking.
