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.

The Drowned Earth: Dilophosors

 Well it's been awhile since I've worked on anything from The Drowned Earth game, so I painted up some Dilophosors. I normally paint them like I see them in the shop but decided to do a different paint scheme after checking out what the paleontologists had to say about them. So here is my take. 






As always thanks for looking.

The Drowned Earth: Magnosors

 I painted up three more Dino's for my "The Drowned Earth" game. These are the scary Magnosors. With one Alpha male and a couple of females, our adventurous explorers need to be on the watch for these creatures. 

I've been all over the place subject wise these last few months but I have to say I really have fun painting up the dinosaurs. 

Here are a few shots....

The Drowned Earth: Yuttaraptors

Painted up two more Dino's for the table top miniature game The Drowned Earth. The game has one of the best written rulebooks I've seen, some excellent fluff, and you can pick up on the game pretty quick. I really like what this game brings to the table. Played on a 3 X 3 area, means I can play it on my dining room table, and it has a low miniature count. 

What I really, REALLY, like about the game is, of course, the Dinosaurs.  Plus the terrain setting means I can go to my local pet shop and buy a bunch of aquarium plants. Bingo, bongo, no fuss, just put it on the table and play.

So here are my two Yuttaraptors, velociraptor like, but with more bird feel. 




As always thanks for looking.

Baryonyx: Queen of the Swamp (The Drowned Earth game)

The Drowned Earth game is played on a 3 X 3 foot mat.

"Once, The world of The Drowned Earth was the home of a great, futuristic civilisation. Their cities spanned the globe, and they were beginning to conquer the solar system.

A terrible cataclysm ended that civilization. For hundreds of years nature reclaimed the earth, prehistoric monsters ruled the wilds, while the survivors of the cataclysm known as "The Event" struggled to survive."

I had an absolute blast painting this one. Of all the dinosaurs for the "The Drowned Earth" game she is my favorite. I needed a little help in color choices, but once I got started it was a breeze. 

Looking forward to painting another twenty some dinosaurs before I even finish my Bondsmen faction.
