  • I’m restarting my Scythes of the Emperor army. These models are the first two men of a Sternguard squad, which is admittedly an odd place to start. However, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to make sternguard from the awesome Dark Angel veterans kit. The robed bodies are a nice...

  • OK, the first 12 gladiator models for the upcoming club campaign are off the painting table. Here are the six more-heavily-armored gladiators… And here are the six poorly-armored dudes. These are all Foundry 28mm figures from their excellent gladiators range. While most of the figures in the range are a...

  • Alright…first club project for this year. Gladiators. Over a year ago, I got the idea in my head to run a small gladiator campaign at the club. Every guy in the campaign is the head of a ludi gladiatori (gladiator school), and starts with a set amount of money (20,000...

  • Continuing on with some Middle-earth figures this week…and I thought it might be a good idea to publish a step-by-step for painting horses for those who are interested in the subject. So, starting out with the Valiant Rohirrim box… We find that there are 18 cavalry figures in here. But...

  • “Fall back one hour.” Every Fall, Daylight Savings Time ends, and it is always my favorite day of the year when it happens. One extra hour to do anything you want! Well, it seems that every year, I use this extra hour to finish off a cool project…well, cool for...

  • This week my attention turned to some more Middle-earth miniatures for our ongoing RPG campaign. I need Dwarves! I picked up a box of Dwarf Warriors from eBay for about $10 off of retail…not a bad deal I suppose. The box contained 24 plastic Dwarves. I only needed 21 for...

  • All right! Back to some Middle-earth goodness. This time around, I’m painting up a couple of boxes of Khandish Horsemen. The men of Khand were allied with Sauron during the War of the Ring…but that doesn’t make them all bad, does it? These are metal models, with the rider cast...

  • In an effort to get myself back into the swing of things after a long break (three months? really?) I decided to finish up this small terrain piece that I started a while back. The main ingredients in this model are a small wooden cube, a plastic Wood Elf from...

  • So, a number of players at our local club pre-ordered the SAGA rules from Gripping Beast…and rulesets all got delivered two weeks ago. Good excuse for a club game! We played the four-player scenario out of these new Dark Ages rules last Tuesday night. Dave (on the left) played Welsh....

  • As I’ve mentioned a few times, I’m running a role playing game in the Middle-earth setting. We don’t get together very often for this…but it has been going for a while now, and we’ve recently added a new player to the group. Chris plays “wagon boy,” an apprentice priest character....
