Impressions: Black Powder Red Earth 28mm
Oh boy. It’s been a long time since I’ve looked at rulesets, even longer since I’ve written my impressions on them. So why not kick it off with something that has been eagerly awaited? For a long time, there has been a lot of discussion about a tabletop game from Black Powder Red Earth. Keen…

SITREP – And now for something, Completely Different
I just wanted to shout out to everyone reading along with these posts (I’m seeing the pleasing bump in my stats) – I’m having a really fun time writing semi-regular updates and it’s much more fun than throwing together a tweet. One little change to them going forward, I’m going to be setting them to…

SITREP โ Operation Jann Strike Prep Pt.3 – A Pause
Time for a slight change of plan – I’m sadly not running this game this weekend. Due to a few factors, I haven’t had time to get things together for the game (or even write up the scenario) so I asked my friend if we could put a raincheck on it. Hopefully we’ll run it…

SITREP โ Operation Jann Strike Prep Pt.2
Okay, not as much progress as I should have done because of work shenanigans but I did assembled the hell cannons onto bases and get all my infantry undercoated. As you can see, I’ve split them into four bases. For the ammo, I was going to pile them on a sheet but realised that would…

SITREP – Operation Jann Strike Prep Pt.1
My next wargaming scenario is being run on Sunday afternoon – two lots of regulars from different nations moving into an insurgent held area to remove the threat. I’ve actually worked out the scenario now, including the objectives and traps I’m going to throw in my way. And now, I just have to get everything…

Longshore Lockdown: Campaign Update
Originally, I was planning to write out long-form battle reports for each and every game of Necromunda. I have been taking the photos in preparation for them, and even starting writing the second set. However, as you might have spotted, I just havent got around to actually sitting down to them. And, with us rapidly…

SITREP – Unleash GROM Pt.2
There he is – GROM is finished. Well mostly finished – I still need to paint up his base in some rust colours and add some final highlights but I’d be happy enough to put this guy on the board. I’m very excited about getting this guy on the board – the figure came out…

SITREP – Unleash GROM Pt.1
This weekend is another Necromunda weekend, where I’ll be heading northwards with my enforcer band. However, before i go I need some addition firepower assembled and painted. After all, I did have a heavy bolter in the stash. Assembled a few weeks ago, I finally got him undercoated and began the painting. He’s still a…

SITREP – Initial Play of Black Powder Red Earth 28mm
In shocking news, I’m reporting on a monthly game against my Dastardly Regular Opponent without going into a full battle report (you’ll have to wait until the end of the month for that). Instead, we were giving Black Powder Red Earth 28mm a go. Not going to go into too much detail on it (that’s…

New Scenario Release
Remember the battle report for a scenario called Training Day? It’s one of my favourite games to write and play. Well, I’ve updated the mission, added it to the ChargeReal and created a version for Spectre Operations. Even better, I have released it for free on my Patreon – 30+ pages of background information, faction…

SITREP – Right Tool for the Job
Over the weekend, I took a look at my tank turrets and realised that I had to do something to make them spin more freely in the turret slot. Ignoring the sensible advice to reprint them 1% less in future, I realised that maybe I should be using the dremel I got for chopping plastic…
-
SITREP – Yet Another Bazi SF Team
Taking a break from scenario work, I decided to start painting up the Spectre’s Criminal Heavies. As my collection is much more focused on the military side rather than the law enforcement, I’d always planned for them to be some kind of Special Forces team. I hadn’t nailed it down but after thinking about the…
-
SITREP – Patreon Scenarios
One of the perks I’m offering to the backers of my Patreon is access to the scenario files of Battle Reports going forward. I spend a lot of time writing each one, especially when I was playing at the club and wanted each player to feel like they were controlling a proper force, rather than…

Impressions: Spectre’s Covert/Overt Figures
IT HAS BEEN 10,000 YEARS! Okay well actually more like four since I first heard (over several glasses of beer in the Fox at the Excel) someone saying the magic words for the first time. “What if there were figures that came as both covert and overt versions so you can toggle between them during…

October 2021 Project Update
October was a busy month between work and playing in a Necromunda campaign (and the return of Escape from Tarkov to steal my late night gaming time) which left barely any time or motivation for painting. But on the plus side, I did only buy a few tiny extra pieces… Project 365 Lets take a…
