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.

Warriors of Athena: Heracles or Hercules!

 Slowly building up the forces I need for this Solo or cooperative game. Next figure up is my boy Hearcles. If you haven't read the book by Steven Fry "Heroes" your really missing out on a great story, escpecially his audio version.





As always thanks for looking.

The Horus Hersey: Betrayal at Calth (a miniature boardgame)

 Well it's been a bit. Suffered a little burn out on painting and loss of interest in some projects. If you don't have the juice, it's just no fun to paint. But the last week or so I've slowly climbed back on the hobby horse. I'm trying to clear my back log on my painting table so I can make room to paint some commisions I've been asked to do.

So today here is a project I started almost ten years ago... yes for ten years these poor bastards have occupied closet space only. But no more! 

I started with the Word Bearers Chapter and have painted up Kurtha Sedd a Chaplain devoted to the utter ruin of the Ultra Marines and their false Emperor. Along with that I painted a tactical squad of Word Bearers (leaving me one more squad to paint) and Sor Gharax "The Bull" a raging madman equipped with a contemptor Dreadnaught. 

After I complete the Word bearers I'll have to paint up the Ultra Marines which would include a character, five Cataphractii Terminators, and one tactical squad. 

I didn't go nuts making them all fancy, just wanted to be able to make them table ready and play the game.





As always thanks for looking.

Cheers
Kevin
