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.

BLKOUT UN Raid Force Alpha but this time for a friend

 A buddy of mine who doesn't have the skills had me paint these up for him. I didn't mind since it was a small group of figures, plus the fact I told him he had to play this game with me;)

So I painted these up a bit different from the ones I painted for myself, but I think they still do the job.


As always thanks for looking.

Cheers

BLKOUT: Manticor Borz Group

 It's been about four or five months since I painted any BLKOUT models. So it was refreshing to come back and do something a little different from my last few projects. BLKOUT is an Ultra Modern, Science Fiction type of game. 

These models have been painted for me, just me. That always feels satisfying to say that. Not for this person, not for that person, just me. 

Here's a little extract about them.

"Manticor prides itself on physical strength, and their combat tactics mirror this. Implacable in their attack, layers of ballistic armor let the soldiers of the Manticor Borz Force shrug off hits that would incapacitate any other force. Practical and methodical, Manticor Borz may not be flashy, but they'll put you in the ground nonetheless."

You can see why I chose to paint these lads, they are my kind of boyz!!!








As always thanks for looking.

Star Wars: The Spectre Project

 So the last few weeks have not been the greatest. Family events caused me to not feel the painting vibe and that's okay. Then May 4th came along and I decided to let the Force take me away from the real world events in my family and drift off into brush land. It's incredible how soothing painting can be.

So I've had these Star Wars Legion models, like forever, and decided to finally paint them up. Not using the rules Star Wars Legion, but instead Spectre. Will see how that works. I've quite a bit more to do but I'll get to them one day as I say I will... hopefully.

I present my first ever Storm Troopers, Some Rebel Pathfinders done in US Army ACU colors, and lastly Rebel Troopers in Jungle camo. 






As always thanks for looking.
