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 more figures

 Just a quick post of some more figures I've painted for the game Aristeia!. These guys are for me and not a friend. Man I really like this game!


First up is Moonchild. “The Antipod are a brutal alien race native to Dawn, the Ariadnan nation’s planet. Apparently. the Antipod’s alien saliva contains some kind of retrovirus loaded with genetic information able to affect fetuses in the mother’s womb, causing them to change into the likeness of the aggressor. This “boogey-virus” is some kind of natural selection mechanism that helps the genetic strain of the stronger and more aggressive tribes or ethnicities to spread. The result of the infection of a human fetus is a creature that looks like a bulky human with Antipod features, pejoratively dubbed Dogface.




Next is Dart. Paola Duarte was born into a rich industrial family on Acontecimento. The Duarte family are the founders and sole owners of Aura Biochemicals, a conglomerate specialized in the use of natural resources to create biochemical compounds with multiple applications in the Human Sphere. As a future heiress, Paola was educated since childhood in a diverse array of subjects that would be a valuable tool in the management of her future birthright: biochemistry, business management, finance, law and many others. However, the young Duarte preferred to organize parties and enjoyed practicing all kinds of risk-taking sports to their fullest, which became her passion. Whenever she could, she would escape to a new adventure full of risk and danger.



And finally we come to Eclypse. The Shadow weaver, by the picture I need to say no more.




As always thanks for looking.

Aristeia! The Game

 It's been since May of this year that I have done anything substantial with Aristeia!. My buddy and I played a couple of Saturday's ago and rediscovered how much fun it was. We hadn't played this game face to face since the Great Plague. Of course I went total overboard gagga over it and have been painting figures for my pal who can't paint, and of course some for me. 

If you'd like to learn more about the game you can just click on this orange link Aristeia!


Here are some of my buddies figures I painted for him. 

Maximus also known as Max



The Nomad Witch



Parvati



...and finally Major Lunah



As always thanks for looking.

Saga: Age of Crusade: Ordensstaat (Teutonic order)

Well I started this project back in October of 2022. Man does time fly. I worked on the Grand Master and his brothers (click on orange links to look at previous posts), then in March of 2023 I completed some Warrior armed with crossbow. I had then started working on some horses, but I never got anything but a base coat on them and they have sat on painting sticks since March. 

Well this week I finally got off my butt and finished those horse's along with their riders and I am pretty happy with how they came out. Trying to remember my paint used was a pain because I never wrote it down like I usually do, but eh. Now I have 24 Levy Infantry to paint and I will have a complete army, though I do want to paint a few more mounted so that I can have some options.










As always thanks for looking.

Cheers
Kevin

 Finished 18 more suits to go with my Nutcracker. Next week I am switching it back to Bolt action, but these were a nice break from painting Soviets.





As always thanks for looking.
