  • 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 2 – 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 d’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. – 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…

  • SITREP: Famous By Our Swords!

    As you may know, I am very much of fantasy games. Having let myself buy more than just moderns, I decided to go hard into getting all the fantasy figures I’d always wanted, but never got around to getting armies for. Combine that with 3d printing giving me all the figures I might want for…

  • A Contract in Awbari – Painting Time

    The last time I talked about my BPRE 28mm box, I made the comment “I’m really looking forward to getting this painted up. Shouldn’t take me very long” or words to that effect. Well, 3 months later I actually realised that I suddenly had a week to paint up the remaining Shurta, all the Hongbin…

  • August 2022 Update – Necromunda, Bazistan and Awbari

    We’re into September now. As reported last time, house buying is still underway – a technical glitch by one of the parties has slowed it but we’re working with what we have to keep it going. Because of that, I’m still continuing to start packing things up, slowly collapsing into boxes. I’m reluctant to really…

  • The Al-Khoufra Affair – Remote Playing Skirmish Sangin V2

    My original plan for last weekend was to spend my Saturday relaxing – I’d had a busy weekend on the one previous (with family events and running a game for one half of TTE), the Sunday was to be airsoft, so Saturday would be a lazy, lazy day. And then Ben, the other half of…

  • The Bazistan Job – Remote Playing Skirmish Sangin V2

    Okay, unlike the last two times, this was entirely on me. I’ve recently been chatting with Dan over on the Ultramodern Wargaming Group/The Table’s Edge podcast/DeskOps store (Christ he’s busy) about Skirmish Sangin and how it plays as an alternative to Spectre. So, after realising I was spending a whole Saturday doing family stuff, I…
