  • SITREP: Improving My Drybrushing

    Since moving house, I’ve decided to move away from my purely black undercoat to roughly dry brushing layers of increasingly lighter grey and white to allow me to use contrast and other similar tools on my models while still retaining a similar feel to the older models I’ve painted and are still in my collection.…

    It’s the start of a new month which means (like clockwork), Enemy Spotted Studios has a new release up on its tribes page at My Mini Factory.

  • The News Stand: Spectre Gets Hacked and InCountry Reveals More

    Yesterday was Friday which means it’s news time! With two lots of smaller bits of news (and the fact I’m hammering out these News Stand posts and doing barely any of my own stuff) we’re going to combine them all together. First up Spectre. They have been having a little bit of a cyber issue…

    Following up on Combat Octopus’s 2nd VBSS release, I was approached by Paul (Paulidus on the Ultramodern Discord) messaged me about the set of VBSS figures he had commissioned from Spectre via their Director tier on Patreon. Paul has a keen interest in the 1980s/1990s tactical chic (and will not stop sending me the cool…

  • All Systems Nominal: Friday Night Mech Fight

    So there I was, still recovering from my game of What a Nerf Herder against my Dastardly Regular Opponent on the bank holiday weekend when I received… a message. Turns out his Friday night had opened up and there was a new gaming slot. Of course, I was quick to jump in and say yes,…
