Adventures in Wargaming

  • SITREP: Gage Commando (Part 2)

    So a quick update on the Gage Commando – after the first post went up, I decided to add a few little tweaks to it. Smoke launchers: pulled from the Spectre accessories kit, these two mounted on the turret seemed pretty much perfect for an internal security vehicle. Possibly launching other types of grenade if…

  • SITREP: Version 2 Contractor

    This week’s stream work, finishing off the Spectre Contractor that came with the Version 2 rulebook pre-order. This is a cool looking model, using a suppressed Glock with a modernised FAL slung across his front. I’ve got a weak spot for the Baseball Cap/Comtacs look, especially as figures using that look can often end up…

  • Wargaming Week 15/06/2020

    Another week in lockdown, another week slowly keeping things going. Two models for the price of one this week – finishing off another few elements of the Bazi military. These were fun to paint and I’m quite happy at how they are finished off. The whole point at the moment is slowly working through my…

  • SITREP: Bazi SF and Officer

    Tonight’s work on the Twitch stream was a twofer – two more figures for the Bazi Military! The two figures in question are the Adepticon Special from Spectre and the Hammerhead free model from a few years ago. Each takes a different role in the military – the Adepticon special (technically an insurgent gunner) will…

  • Wargaming Week 08/06/2020

    A new week beginning, lots of events going on in the world that I’ll admit I’ve found hard to take my eyes off. I’d like to echo the start of last week’s update –  Listen to those in need, to those who are hurting and have had enough, try to help if you can, stand…

  • SITREP – Gage Commando (Part 1)

    Seeing as my Bazi Royal Guard are now basically done, it’s time to give them a little support to roll around in. Having picked up the Gage Commando from Empress at Hammerhead (back in the before times), it seemed kind of perfect. Something capable of shrugging off rifle rounds or smashing through obstacles while not…

  • SITREP – Enforcers (Part 1)

    So Necromunda – the game of gangers and steams pipes, of slowly buildings up heroes only to watch them die to the most ridiculous things. It’s a game I’ve been interested in for a long time, especially as my former housemates got into it after I left (due to the new release of the updated…

  • Wargaming Week 01/06/2020

    June? Hard to believe honestly. Especially with the news in the world around us. I’m not going to preach from the soapbox, especially as a lot of people are using hobbies as a way of escaping the madness of the real world and I am but one blog writer on the internet, but now is…

  • SITREP – Bazi Royal Guard (Part 3)

    The final two figures from the Bazi Royal Guard – The RPG gunner and Hussein bin Said al-Bazi, one of the Bazi family and a senior leader in the Bazi Royal Guard. He is important enough to have the gold on his shoulder, but not too important that he doesn’t get involved on the ground.…

  • SITREP – Bazi Royal Guard (part 2)

    Part 2 of the Bazi Royal Guard I painted up on my Wednesday night twitch stream. Three more riflemen and an officer with pistol (ideal for shouting at angry civilians) to join the initial four. Again, super easy to paint, the Militia Miniatures models having lots of contours to catch the wash in. US 3…

  • Wargaming Week 25/05/2020

    Well, we’re still in lockdown and I’m still mostly stuck in my house, playing Call of Duty and occasionally painting some models (when I’m not working). Big new thing I’m trying out – going to be starting to do more short-form articles than waiting to make giant ones. Mostly because I’m bored of seeing just…

  • SITREP – Bazi Royal Guard (part 1)

    Tonight’s work from the stream – the first four soldiers of the Bazi’s Royal Guard. Made using Militia Miniatures Republican Guard figures, these guys will be hitting the mean streets of Bazi city to fight back against possible Special Forces insertion against key elements of the regime. As you can see, these guys are a…

  • Wargaming Week 20/05/2020

    A little delayed this week, had some trouble finding the time to sit down and get this update written. And shockingly, there is actual news to cover! Before that though, tonight on Twitch I’ll be taking a look at the Militia Miniatures Republican Guard figures and getting them painted up as the Bazi Royal Guard,…

  • Wargaming Week 11/05/2020

    Welcome back, to a new Wargaming Week! NEWS New update from Empress – they are working on a version two of their two page ruleset “Danger Close” to add vehicles and aircraft. This will double the ruleset size up to four but should also make it more interesting for anyone slowly building up a collection…

  • Wargaming Week 04/05/2020

    Bit of a short post this week – nothing much new to report. That said, a few places are reaching the point where they might come back online, so maybe we’ll see some more news and even releases soon? Personal news, going to be back streaming again this Wednesday! Plan is to take a look…
