SITREP – ??? Pt 1
This is maybe a little bit of a spoiler for upcoming adventures, so I’m going to hide the details behind the Read More. Otherwise, just know I did some hobby!

SITREP – Finally Done!
My figures for Wednesday’s game are now (mostly) complete – I just need to do their basing material. Using Northstar’s Lich pair, I’ve painted them up slightly differently, going for the Imperial Red as a hint for their purpose. The Gem? Well, we’ll see on Wednesday…

SITREP – Painted VBLs
The VBLs are done. Sat down after a long day of work and managed to do the finishing touches. Touches such as “painting green” and “washing” and “hitting with two types of tan. I really like these little things, and can’t wait to get them on the wargames table. One thing I hadn’t noticed until…

SITREP โ Something New Pt3
Final day of doing testing for 6mm stuff. Today’s test was looking at more of the Guaro3d models to see how well they print in 1:285 vs their original scale of 1:64. For this I pulled out the Bushmaster (for testing wheeled vehicles), the German Puma IFV (which will be used alongside the Leopard 2s…
-
SITREP – Something New Pt2
More time spent looking at 6mm printing (haven’t been in the mood for painting). Today’s goal was partially looking at the Guaro3d models I’ve purchased in the past and seeing if they can be used in 6mm. I need to work on the supports but for the most part, yes it seems. Now obviously, these…

SITREP – Something New
My original plan was to spend the evening painting. But thanks to a friend visiting, that plan fell through. Earlier in the day however, one of my other 3d printing friends started talking to me about some rules he’d been working on, designed for smaller scale figures. Of course from that, he pointed out where…

SITREP – Fission Mailed, the Sequel
Original plan – spend the evening painting up my VBLs Actual occurrences – spend the evening getting annoyed with STL files from a certain kickstarter. Over the last few days I’ve been taking a look at the British Paras, trying to understand what’s going wrong with them. I even had a chat with someone who…

SITREP – Weekend
Had a busy weekend – a few friends visiting and a Sunday airsofting up at Dirty Dog close to Darlington. Fun running around, need to improve my fitness/strength to be able to carry the gear I want to. As with all weekends, good for actually seeing people, bad for getting hobby done. Tonight’s work has…
-
SITREP – One More Cultist
I spent most of my afternoon cleaning up my 3d printing room so someone can sleep in it on the weekend but managed to squeeze in painting up one final cultist for group of five. I’m still really big fans of the Northstar cultist figures. They are a great set of parts for building a…

SITREP – Fission Mailed
Alas, I ran out of time to get my stuff ready to game with tonight. Long day at work, not enough time to finish the models I wanted to and so I pushed it back. Instead had an evening of TV watching and hanging out with The Sister, while also writing up a little more…

SITREP – The WIPs Before Game Day
T’was the night before game day and all through the house, not a creature was stiring… except me getting stuff painted up for the game. I have the rough idea planned out – layout sketched, special rules in place, the arc of the story telling that the game will map to. I just have to…

SITREP – Cultists!
After taking a few days off for the weekend (busy in the garden and watching films), decided to restart the hobby streak by frantically getting things together for Wednesday’s game against The Sister. For that game, I need some more cultists for my Swordmasters to fight. I’ve got 5 from the Rangers of the Shadow…

SITREP – VBL Painting Begins
Started painting up the pair of VBLs. These will be vehicles from the Emirate of Bazistan, a sub nation of the larger Bazi Empire and one currently getting the cast offs. For this reason, I’ll stick with something similar to the two T62s I painted up – that’s about the tech level the Emir’s forces…
-
SITREP – Tiny Flags and Tiny Vehicles
I finished off the first set of Turnbase Hight Intensity Operators. I’m going for more of a mix with these guys, trying to use the wide selection of heads to make them fit as a larger PMC faction. Fun to paint, nice details. Really happy with the guy at the front’s head – the ginger…

SITREP – Operators and Experiments
First up, some more tweaks/fixes to the website. Most of my hobby time (which was limited) was spent fixing all the images and reuploading some missing files. Everything should now be working and I’m feeling a little more stable on the site (while not duplicating every image). After work and FTP messing around, I only…
