Over on the Meeples and Miniatures blog Neil has recently published a plan of the miniatures he wishes to paint this year. (If you pop over to take a look at his post you'll see that it's pretty ambitious!) Neil's post gave me a bit of a mental prod so I thought I'd put an outline of a plan together myself. Like many miniature gamers I've got a large collection of unpainted minis and

Well, we're nearly at the end of the year and it was February when I last posted to this blog. Back then I was posting to say that I was about to post more content. Obviously that didn't work out too well - doh! I've had a busy, if funny (as in strange), old year. On the non-gaming front I've been ruminating about changing the direction of my career and, when there's bills to pay and family

I've not posted on here for nearly a year and that's pretty feeble by any stretch of the writers block. So consider this a small rumble of distant thunder before I actually come back and post some 'proper' content. I've been playing a lot of games (40k, Warmaster Ancients and lots of board games) over the past 12 months, painted some minis and pushed a couple of game designs closer to

Over on Ron's 40k fromthewarp blog he's recently posted a piece about using area terrain features without a clearly defined area (no base/hard edges). It's an interesting approach more akin to True Line of Sight (TLOS) skirmish gaming than the competitive mass combat game that 40k has become over recent years. (Yes 40k uses TLOS but it's a bit of hybrid in practice). He also brushes on another

I've been very busy hobby wise recently, unfortunately I seem to have been 'busy doing nothing' and don't actually seem to be making any noticeable headway on any of the projects I'm working on. And that is the problem - I'm working on lots of different projects. Working on multiple projects, when done well, can be a great way to keep your mind inspired, and your creativity flowing.

Okay... updating every week didn't last, well a week.But I have managed to get some mini painting done this week. I started and completed one of Black Scorpion Miniatures Alien Critters.Still not sure about the base - might have to paint the rim black as the hazard markings might be a bit 'loud'.I've also cleaned up Hasslefree Miniatures Dionne, another Black Scorpion Miniatures Critters and

With the seasonal festivities behind us and a new year already started I've had a chance to think about what I'm going to do with this blog.I'm going to try taking a leaf out of Inso's book Inso's World and post one update a week (probably on a Saturday - Inso does two a week but I'm not trying for that yet).They won't necessarily be huge but at least they'll be more regular than my past efforts

I've been reading the Elric novels again over the last few months and have a hankering to build a warhammer fantasy battle force.I've not played WFB for quite a long time and after a discussion with a few other gamers on twitter decided that I'd go the route of the Dark Elves as a base army book to build my Elric and Melnibonean themed army.I rooted out my copy of White Dwarf which featured the

I've decided that seeing as I'm 'into' Blood Angels now I'm going to build a full Battle Company.I've been kicking the idea around for a little while - well a long while actually as I really like the idea of the half-deranged Captain Tycho. Despite that fact that his in-game abilities are mediocre his back story is cool - assigned to combat duties on a permanent basis by the Chaplain because he

At DWS On Monday I faced a chap called Alex with a very meaty Ork force.He's going to be playing in Heat 3 of the 40k Throne of Skulls in Notts, UK this November and is trying to get 10 games in with an Ork army to get a feel for how it plays.We played a 1500pt game and his list consisted roughly of:Battlewagon - Ghazghkull & 5 MeganobzBattlewagon - 15 boyz, Nob PK, Big Mek with Kustom Force

The 1500pt game against Orks didn't happen the other night (should be next Monday now) I had two games of 500pt 40k in 40 minutes vs Tau instead.Both games resulted in my Blood Angels tabling the Tau on turn 5, the chap playing the Tau force hasn't really been playing that long so has a restricted model collection to base his builds around and is still learning the ropes with regards what 'works'

We play a lot of different sized games of 40k down at the club. Some players prefer the small scale games of 1000/1250, the staple size for many seems to be 1750pts but tourney practise games are played at 1500.We even have odd sessions of combat patrol (400pt) games.We seem to have a good spread of armies too with two IG armies, two or three Ork forces, two CSM armies, Daemons, a couple of

I've been playing with Blood Angels in 40k since joining the Derby Wargames Society earlier this year. Previously I was a Space Wolves and Ork player (with small outings with Dark Eldar).After over 6 months my force is still a long way away from being painted. The Shame! :)But I have got a few done over the months (in between other bits and pieces).Below is one 5-man combat squad (they're from a

Over a month has flown by and no updates - very shoddy.I can only blame the school holidays for my month(ish) long state of semi-exhaustion in the evenings.But that's all gone now and I've finally got some energy to devote back to hobby time - hurrah.The feedback on my last post about PDF publishing has been very enlightening and I thank everyone who took the time to post a comment and let me

Over the last 20 years I've seen a lot of changes in the tabletop gaming industry, one of which is the emergence of tabletop games and rulebooks being available in digital form, namely as a PDF. The dramatic changes in publishing technologies coupled with the growth of the internet and home PC ownership has made the once, quite difficult job of publishing games so much easier.The days of needing

They're the original plastic skeletons from Games Workshop from about 20 years ago.A mixture of needing some skeletons for RPGs (specifically a Dragon Warriors adventure I fancy running as a one-off for old times sake) and for a simple 'Argonauts' inspired board game design I've been pushing around for ages

I've been playing Games Workshop's Warhammer 40k with Blood Angels over the last couple of months and I've been enjoying it immensely.I already have 40k armies for Tyranids, Orks, Dark Eldar, Space Wolves and Imperial Guard. All these are made up of various Citadel Miniatures from different editions of the game and the forces are of differing sizes (and painting status).So, why did I choose Blood

I'm going to be updating this blog over the next week with some photos (finally) and a few other bits and bobs of info about my current hobby gaming.One major decision that I've had to make recently is to stop spending for a month or so and sell off some more of my mountain of miniatures.

Well it's been a long time since I last updated - work and time constraints being the main reason.I also had a very barren painting period over the summer/autumn months which saw little or no progress.However, I've finally got myself into something of a rhythm for miniature painting again and have been getting a least 3 hours in a week for the last three weeks. Which doesn't sound much but it's

I did a little light conversion on one of artisan miniatures Thrilling Tales line of minis.This was for my brother last christmas - it's Indiana Jones (doo di doodoo...dodidooo).(Piccies below)I really like how he worked out - in fact I liked it so much I'm tempted to pick up several more copies of the mini and convert them into different versions in each of the first three films (I've not seen

Wow!I bought the new set of Citadel Washes today from Games Workshop and I have to say they are ace!I'm not a very fast painter so I've been looking for a way to speed things up. I took a look at the Army Painter series of dips at the UK Games Expo recently which were very impressive but the tins were so big. The Citadel Washes had also caught my eye and so while in a rare visit to a GW store I

I did this little dude in an evening in front of the telly back in February but it took me months to actually sort his base out properly.Anyway here's the first test piece I did for my Moria Goblins in GWs Lord of the Rings Strategy Battle game.

Here's a few warhammer 40k Orks from a unit of slugga boyz I posted a group shot using my old camera previously.I'd tried to speed paint them so they're a bit messy but they're suitable for the tabletop.

I've been meaning to get these miniatures from Hydra finished for ages now.They're for use in a game I'm developing but also to act as some Death World gribblies in games of warhammer 40k.I've got one complete, one needs his base finishing and I've got 6 more part way through. I'll post photos of those when I've finished them.

I recently rediscovered my old Space Wolf 40k army - partially painted as usual for me.But serviceable all the same.Here's a few pics from it, a Rhino and one of my Grey Hunter Sergeants part way through.

Well I've finally managed to get myself back to my blog.So I'll be uploading a few updates from my painting table over the next few days.I've been testing my wife's new camera too - here's one of the first pics out from it:Work In Progress (Artizan Miniatures 'not' O'Connell from the Mummy)I've still got to finish the base off and do a little tidying up here and there but I'm pretty pleased with

I've managed to get my Mummy finished, and almost finished the Ork Slugga Boys for Warhammer 40k - but it's been slow going.Something I've realised about my miniature wargaming and painting hobby is that I've always been more of a gamer than a painter.Hence I have a huge amount of unpainted miniatures for war games that have been played with but not painted yet.I've made the decision to clear out

Here's a bit of a dodgy picture of what is currently on my miniature painting table. I'll get some better photos sorted as I complete the various bits and pieces.The list looks like this:Warhammer 40k Orks (2nd ed. plastics, slightly converted) = just need basingWarhammer 40k Orks (1st ed. metal)Warhammer 40k Ork Painboy & grot attendant(Part of a 400pt combat patrol force for 40k - old codex)

Wow, simply amazing.I'm used to seeing Jet Packs in science fiction board games and miniature war games but this for real*.* At least it's convinced me it's real.

What is best in life?Well, later on this year, it looks like it might be The Age of Conan Board Game to be published by Nexus Games.Reading through the report it says that players will only be able to control Conan for short periods as they hire/acquire his services during the course of the game. This feature alone makes me think the guys at Nexus have got the ethos bang on target. Conan is a

One of the things I'm really into is painting miniatures for wargames, skirmish games and other tabletop board games. (And also playing the games too).Like many other fans of this hobby I've got a huge collection of unpainted minis collected over the long years of... well... I guess addiction is probably the best word for it. And unpainted minis just don't really look the part on the tabletop (or

Why a thousand hats?Well, it's quite simple really. As you go through life you find that you have to wear a different 'hat' almost every day, usually several within one day.Think about it, in the morning you wake up and you've got to get sorted out for work/uni/school whatever and you're feeling sluggish and you don't want to go. Well the responsible part of you gives you a bit of a shake and
