Year: 2017

  • Going on Break

    We’re here! The last post of 2017! Post number 113 for 2017. I really hope you all enjoy the new part of the Great Big Modern Wargaming Rules Comparison.

  • The Great Big Modern Wargaming Rules Comparison 2: Electric Boogaloo

    Before we start a disclaimer: I have done some writing for Skirmish Sangin (including the latest book) and I am listed in the Spectre Operations book as a play tester.

  • Impressions: Spectre’s SAS Counter Terrorism Response

    The final part of Spectre’s November releases was the SAS Counter Terrorism Response team.

  • Impressions: Spectre’s November Releases

    In my article on unreleased models written back in October, a big chunk was taken up with three previews spelling out “WHO DARES WINS”. Well November saw those figures arrive, bringing the latest version of members of the UK’s Special Forces Community to the tabletop. The big thing about this release is that all the…

  • Spectre Operations: Building a Force – Task Orientated Teams

    Despite this being a hobby blog, I do keep an eye on what seems to be doing well for me in terms of stats. My Starting Lists for Spectre Operations have done really well but I now want to expand it and provide something a little more useful than just “here am list”. Simple lists…

    Let’s start, covering the 20th through to the 26th. BLOG STUFF   This week’s post was looking at the various Spectre models which are now classed as rare. It’s odd that such a small company has so many OOP models in the time it’s taken but they have been busy both making new stuff and…

  • Spectre Miniatures Rare Models

    Despite Spectre only being around for a few years there are a few models that have achieved collectors status. Be this due to accidents or careful planning, these models are hard to find.

  • Impressions: Under Fire Miniature’s West German Polizei

    As much as I love many of the established companies, I’m always keeping my eye on what else there is. One company that has caught my eye is Under Fire Miniatures. They have a wonderful range of 20mm figures but more exciting for me is their small but rapidly growing set of 28mm stuff. At…

      In my overview earlier this year looking at Adobe buildings, I briefly talked about Knights of Dice and their MDF buildings.
