Adventures in Wargaming

Year: 2022

  • A Contract in Awbari – Phaseline Unboxing

    Hey, remember when I said I was done with posts for the year? I had to rush this video slightly due to house/Christmas things but here is my unboxing of the new Phaseline expansion for Black Powder Red Earth 28mm – you can find it embedded below or over at Youtube here. Hope you enjoy…

  • 28mm Ultramodern Wargaming in 2022

    Look, I know I’m in the middle of packing up to move but it’s close to the end of the year, I just had the new BPRE box arrive in my hands (more on that this week) and Spectre earlier this week sent me an email talking about how they are no longer selling their…

  • December 2022 Patreon Update – Last Sword Does It Again

    Oh hey it’s a new month. So let’s take a look at where the Patreon money is going (and what will quickly be appearing on the print bed). Well, soonish. I really shouldn’t be adding more minis to the pile I need to move. First up, let’s talk about Spectre Miniatures. This month we got…

  • November 2022 Recap – Things Getting Busy

    Okay, so literally on the day I’m writing this, I’m looking through and signing a big pile of paperwork that should be finishing off my house purchase. This whole thing has been kind of a nightmare the entire way (and there is still stuff that needs doing even after I pass the money over) but…

  • An Afternoon of Lard – Chain of Command

    One advantage of returning to Leeds is that I’m actually close to several of my friends who also happen to be wargamers (or wargamers who are my friends depending on who you ask). Since we finished lockdowns, we have tried to get together a reasonable amount to play some larger games, such as February’s Raiders…

  • Weekly Update 6 – The One Where Stuff Didn’t Work Great

    Welcome to the sixth weekly update where this time I recorded not much during the week! I also had some video issues with the first clip so it looks blown out. But you can also see what I’ve been up to, including painting up some spooky knights, looking at the Spectre Insurgents and once again,…

  • Weekly Update 5 – The One Where SO MANY DWARFS

    Welcome to the fifth weekly update. This week, we go back to all those things I 3D printed and actually prepare them into a usable state (it takes way too long). I really hope you like Dwarves because boy there are many. Plus tanks! As well as that, a parcel arrives, I show you what’s…

  • November 2022 Patreon Update – Star Wars? On ChargeBlog?

    It’s time for a new month, so let’s take a look at what I’m backing on Patreon. We actually have some movement on the list, adding some new friends and new models to what I’m able to take a look at. The funding I get over on Patreon for me helps me to afford to…

  • Jackal Hunting: Across the Border – Skirmish Sangin V2

    I have already talked much about my love for Skirmish Sangin, and having played V2 remotely over the last few months, I found my energy for it returned. However, I definitely found a few places where the systems in the Beta rules just didn’t seem to work, missing the point of the game or requiring…

  • Weekly Update 4 – The One Where I Write A Lot And Talk About Stuff

    Time for Update 4! This week, we apply some paint to some Insurgents (but not finish them) and then spend the rest of the week writing blog posts because it’s the start of the month! Tune in for some gripping looks behind the scenes.

  • October 2022 Recap – So Much Stuff I Can’t Come Up With A Witty Title

    Dear god, where has the year gone? As an update, still fighting through the house shenanigans and waiting for some more paperwork to go through. That said, I’m still working to push forward, try out new things and keep on the grind for the old. I’m also feeling a little bit better about things in…

  • SITREP: Painting 3D Printed Scenery

    One positive of tidying up in preparation to move house is going through my workshop/printing room and finding things I’ve 3D printed but haven’t yet had a chance to actually paint and get on the tabletop. Having owned a 3D printer for almost two years (that’s also concerning), I have had one or two things…

  • Weekly Update 3 – The One Where I Paint Less Than Planned

    Another week, another update – this time some painted Spectre insurgents as well as a few other things being mentioned. And then Modern Warfare 2 came out and I was distracted!

  • Weekly Update 2 – The One With Dwarves

    We’re onto week 2 of the updates, keeping the Youtube gods happy but also letting you see just what I’ve been up to. Dwarf 3d prints and some stuff on the paint table finished off by picking up a new toy for helping to make these videos a little easier to watch. See you all…

  • General d’Armee in 28mm (Or Charge Plays Napoleonics and Likes It)

    I’ve never really been excited about playing big-battle Napoleonics. To be clear, I have no problem with the period. I enjoy Sharpe as much as any full-blooded Yorkshireman is required to, and I can be suitably wowed by a large-scale display of massed ranks on the field of battle (I’m not an unfeeling monster after…
