  • 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 โ€“ 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 โ€“ 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 dโ€™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…

  • Weekly Update 1 – The One Where Charge Buys A FDM Printer

    To keep the YouTube machine happy (and because it seems a fun way to be on top of hobby blog things), I’ve started doing a weekly hobby update vlog. It’s low editing compared to my other videos but it does let me ramble on about all the things I’m up to. This week, lots of…

  • Magewinds

    Long ago, there was the source. From it flowed all magic. Its mages were called sorcerers, and they guarded their power jealously. For with it, they dominated all things. The empire of sorcery ruled over the entire continent. Yet in time all empires fall. โ€“ The source was shattered, From it came the Tempest, and…

  • October 2022 Patreon Update – Time For Spooky Season

    Let’s do a little round-up of the Patreons I’m currently backing that play into. I’d usually include this in my main update post but frankly, it keeps getting longer and longer to the point where it overwhelmed the main update. By putting it in its own post (and delaying it a few days), it means…

  • September 2022 Recap – Not Much Painting, A Lot Of Writing

    Holy crap we’re into October already. When did that happen? House stuff is still rambling on, not helped by the current joyride the UK Economy is currently having. For this reason, I still have all my hobby gear up and running, the 3D printer still slamming away and I’ve been trying to find time for…

  • The Nations of the ChargeReal: Bazistan Region Pt. 1

    As I’ve mentioned in the past, my ultramodern warfare projects are set in ChargeReal, an alternative universe set in approximately the modern day but with a few modifications and tweaks to allow the setup of whatever situation or series of events I want to play, without causing any potential problems with players or commentators. Building…
