  • Hobby Update: Mar-Apr-May 2025

    Time for another two month update! Please ignore how many months are in the title.

  • The News Stand: 03/06/2025

    It’s the start of a new month, which means it’s time for the literal pile of news that has me burning the midnight oil. Spectre Miniatures, Echo Dark Studios and Combat Octopus give us plenty to look at but for a change, someone actually sent me press release. Read on for details!

  • The News Stand: 28/05/2025

    A day later but not a single dollar short! This week’s edition is packed full of all the good stuff you expect from the end of a month – new releases from Spectre’s Patreon, previews from all the Patreons you can shake a stick at and even a time-limited offer if you’re reading this when…

  • The News Stand: 20/05/2025

    After last week’s absolute pile of news, this week is perhaps a little quieter. However, quieter doesn’t mean boring and we have a good selection of items across the Ultramodern niche, such as previews and releases from Spectre Miniatures, Echo Dark Studios, Flank March Miniatures and more! Read on to see everything I’ve collated!

  • SITREP: Freedom from MDF (and Partisan)

    It’s done, I’m free. Oh and I went to Partisan!

  • The News Stand: 13/05/2025

    This week’s post is a cavalcade of releases and previews. We’ve got Spectre, we’ve got more from Flank March, we have a pile from Warfighter Miniatures and even the long-awaited release of MENA Building 3 from Urban Scatter Gaming. Read on for more!

  • The News Stand: 06/05/2025

    Every week, I say to myself, “Man, I bet this week is going to be a shorter post”. Spoilers, it never is – the new month kicks off with an avalanche of new updates from pretty much all the usual suspects. Spectre, Combat Octopus, Flank March and more are all here, with releases, previews, teases…

  • PAINT-REP: Combat Octopus Militia

    It’s time for the largest PAINT-REP so far as we look at Combat Octopus’s Militia figures with a few tweaks!

  • PAINT-REP: Breacher – Sarie and Wolf Pack

    Time for another PAINT-REP, this time looking at some Breachers from Black Site Studios

  • The News Stand: 29/04/2025

    You can tell it’s the end of the month because we have updates for The News Stand coming thick and fast. New releases from Spectre, previews from the usual Patreon boys and even an Exclusive from Urban Scatter Gaming. Read on for more!

  • SITREP: Back To FBOS

    With zombies, knights and golems on the board, it’s time for a return to fantasy and Famous By Our Swords!

  • The News Stand: 22/04/2025

    We’ve got a good mix of updates this week in the Ultramodern space, bringing together some exciting steps forward for our little niche. Urban Scatter Gaming can’t be stopped, Echo Dark announces a partnership, and we have previews and news from Black Hills, Combat Octopus and Modern Miniatures. Let’s jump in!

  • Post-Salute Planning: 2025

    Phew, okay—I’ve mostly recovered from Salute. This year was definitely one of the more exciting ones, and I actually was there for the vast majority of the show, which is unusual for me. Again, I want to thank Brad Sanders for inviting me down, introducing me to folks as an expert hype man, and giving…

  • The News Stand: 15/04/2025

    I’m glad that this week everyone seems to have the Post-Salute hangover with everyone being on the quieter side. However, that doesn’t mean it’s silent – we’ve got updates from Spectre, Echo Dark Studios, Combat Octopus and more. Also, a friend of the blog is back!

  • Salute 2025

    Yep, it’s time for the Big Post covering my trip down to London for Salute 2025!
