Adventures in Wargaming

  • The Week In ChargeBlog: 21/07/2024

    This week was the final one (hopefully) spent rebuilding the various parts of my network infrastructure in my house. Media serving boxes, the backup machine, swapping drives, recovering data, replacing RAM… and all I wanted to do was just sit down, do some hobbies and paint some minis. Alas, I didn’t escape the technical work…

  • ChargeReal Lore Drop: Task Force Volk and The Samory

    The ChargeReal Research team has been in the depths this month on the Zanvult Insurrection. However, as part of their work looking at Mercenaries in the world of the ChargeReal (the full post is available for the ChargeReal Researchers tier) they have managed to uncover some additional information on two of the mercenary groups that…

  • The News Stand: 15/07/2024

    Hey, remember how last week’s edition was really short? Well it turns out everyone was just holding stuff back to pack this week’s edition to the brim. We’ve got updates across the board, from Spectre to White Dragon Miniatures to Combat Octopus and more! As always, thanks to the News Fans and other patrons over…

  • The Week In ChargeBlog: 14/07/2024

    Editor note – there are currently 9 draft SITREP posts sat on the blog. The idea behind SITREPs was originally to write them as fast as possible and get them out, keeping the blog humming along and mapping my own hobby work to posts. The problem is that I take way too long to write…

  • The News Stand: 08/07/2024

    A quieter one this week (I assume last week’s US holiday and UK general election/England football wins are distracting everyone) but good news – there are still enough updates to deliver a News Stand and fill the top image (always the most important part!) Read on for details from Spectre, BobMack3d, Combat Octopus and Modern…

  • SITREP: Remastering The Criminal Heavies

    Last week Spectre released three sets of figures that seemed familiar but different. Taking the original 3D sculpts of the Aftermath Killteam, the Agents QRF and the Criminal Heavies and polishing them up after several years of improvements and planning (as well as changing from metal production to resin allowing for some adjustment). I never…

  • Last Chance for Gunslinger Print-On-Demand from Desk-Ops

    All good things must come to an end sadly. In this case, the 31st of July will see the end of the distribution of Print-On-Demand Gunslinger 2030 models by friend of the site Dan and his store Desk-Ops, as the agreement expires and Flytrap Factory take over production directly. However, as one final celebration of…

  • The News Stand: 01/07/2024

    It’s the start of a new month and we have a pile of new releases from Spectre, plenty of final previews from the host of Patreons and more! Hell, we even have some cool things coming from my favourite 6mm sculptor, so read on for more! As always, thanks to the News Fans and other…

  • The News Stand: 24/06/2024

    End of the Month, so people are already looking forward to July and what releases may be coming soon. However, it’s not over yet – there are still some cool previews coming with more vehicles, more troops and more stuff for the Ultramodern Wargamer! As always, thanks to the News Fans and other patrons over…

  • The News Stand: 17/06/2024

    This week is a little quieter than most but we still have a few updates to look at from all the usual suspects. I’m seeing a suspicious number of marksmen this week… As always, thanks to the News Fans and other patrons over on the ChargeBlog patreon for buying my time to make this wrap-up…

  • The News Stand: 10/06/2024

    This week on The News Stand we’ve got a nice selection of news and updates from the Ultramodern space. Two separate Frontiers projects have been launched, Spectre spent the last week TEASING us via Instagram with a load of preview images and Combat Octopus literally came back and added more weapons to the lastest release.…

  • Project Update: June 2024

    New month, new update time. This one is a little less action-packed than last month due to several real-world reasons (including seeing tanks) but it’s all set for what should hopefully be a productive time. Tech Update I had written up 600+ words about the process of fixing my 3D printer but on second reading…

  • The News Stand: 03/06/2024

    It’s the start of a new month so we have a pile of new things to look forward to from a wide variety of people. New previews from Spectre but also releases from Modern Miniatures, Empress and Combat Octopus, meaning we have a good month ahead! As always, thanks to the News Fans and other…

  • The News Stand: 27/05/2024

    It’s a bank holiday here in the UK (yes we get two of them in May) but not even a holiday stops The News Stand. As it’s the end of the month, we’ve got a pile of previews for June from everyone from Spectre to Anvil Digital Force to Combat Octopus to Turnbase Miniatures. Plus,…

  • Combat Geometry: Square Bases, Plastic Kits, Movement Trays and Game Days

    Since the last post talking Old World (and the minor update in the monthly project update) things have… escalated. At this stage I’ve managed to get all the figures I need for my 2000 points list, thanks to an assault on eBay and some careful pushes. The next step was to actually assemble them all.…
