    It’s Adepticon week, so I hope you’re ready for a pile of Stand numbers to guide you where to go. For everyone else not descending on Milwaukee, we have plenty of previews from Spectre Combat Octopus and Modern Miniatures to fill in your week with.

    SITREP: The Streets of Al-Bawaaba Begin

    With the Old World taking a pause post-games day (read all about it here) we’re returning to the Ultramoderns. However, before we can hit the table and get Project Elements on the road, we’re going to need a table to fight over. After years of never getting them textured and painted up, I sold most of my MDF structures (although there are a few more to go) with the plan was to replace them with a set of 3D-printed buildings. The question was, which ones should I go for? I originally had started printing the Patrick Miniatures Eastern European buildings…

    The waves of Ultramodern releases ebb and flow like the tide BUT that doesn’t mean when the tide is out, there isn’t something exciting to look into. This week has updates from Spectre, Combat Octopus, Austin Miniatures and more!

    Combat Geometry: The Big Week

    In the last few days, it’s been very Old World-y around here. The reason of course is The Ides of Marc, an Old World event that my group of friends (including the Regular Opponents) arranged at the start of the year. You’ve seen a few updates on the journey since the start of the year but now it was time for the main event. The good news was that I was able to pack the whole week before the game day full of stuff to do, enough that I didn’t have a chance to write about any of it. So…

    Hobby Update: Jan-Feb 2025

    We’re two months into 2025, so I should probably talk about what I’ve been up to huh? You may have seen my PAINT-REPs so far, covering two sets of figures from Spectre. I was hoping to have more than three figures painted so far but alas I’ve been suffering the malaise. Plenty of models on the desk but the excitement to actually apply brush to figure is lacking a little bit. I’m hoping that will be corrected soon, so I can get back to painting up everything I’m planning. Okay, just going to very quickly sidestep away from the tiny…

    SITREP: Wednesday Night Conversion Time

    In my last Combat Geometry post, I mentioned about adding a command group to my second Warrior formation. On paper, this is a good idea, giving the various bonus to combat resolution and striking power. The problem is that I don’t have a second Warriors of Chaos command group. I do, however, have my version of Khagra’s Ravagers, a set of Underworld figures from Games Workshop that are among my favourites they have ever made. This gives me a champion (you can probably guess who) and a sorcerer who could be conscripted into counting as a Musician (something you can…
