Adventures in Wargaming

Category: Wargaming

  • SITREP: … And Tiny Titans

    Previously on… Charge strays further from the 28mm light I assembled some buildings in preparation for a game of tiny machines of war Now, it should be said that my former housemate is someone who has managed to avoid ever collecting mainline Games Workshop, instead preferring to jump into the specialist games (such as his…

  • SITREP: Tiny Buildings…

    With a company day off on Friday, I was able to arrange an evening of wargaming and food with my former housemate (who now lives relatively close that really, I should be playing more games with him). After some discussions, we decided it was time for him to get his Adeptus Titanicus collection out for…

  • SITREP: A Little bit of Playtesting

    Thanks to the Easter break, my Dastardly regular opponent found himself with some free time on a Tuesday evening. Which for me meant it was time to finally get some playtesting of my fantasy rules in. I’ve mentioned them a little bit but this was the first time we actually got it onto a board,…

  • 3d Printing – 16 Months and a Saturn later

    In December 2020 I got my first 3D printer, the Elegoo Mars Pro and so began the trip into the 3d printing. I’ve written about it a few times before over the last year, as well as showing off some more models I’ve been working on that have been printed out at home. I’ve even…

  • A Little Bit of Sharp Practise

    Having been working like a mad person, I decided to actually take the easter bank holidays off this year. And so, as is tradition, I messaged my Dastardly Regular opponent to request a scuffle/setup a game. After a misunderstanding of days and me declining to run an Ultramoderns game (the rules still being WIP), I…

  • SITREP: Faceless King

    Another 3d printed model – this time from Vae Victis. I spotted this “Evil Paladin” among the special characters included in the Match release and just had to get to work on him. With the mask and crown, I was strongly inspired by both the Leper from Darkest Dungeon and Baldwin from Kingdom of Heaven.…

  • SITREP: Bazi Counter-Espionage Team

    Another set of models finished, another set I’m really excited to write about! These guys are 3d printed figures made using two of Combat Octopus’s kits – the bodies are from the Eastern European Criminal set with some heads from the MENA Civilians release. After printing on the Elegoo Saturn at 0.03mm, I ended up…

  • SITREP: Aftermath Team

    After having had them sat in the “to be painted” trays for a while, I finally pulled out the Aftermath team from Spectre. I will admit, this is a team that I bought, looked at and went “What a nice team, no idea what I’ll do with them”. However, I felt in the mood for…

  • March 2022 Update

    Oh boy, that time again. So you may have noticed March was a little bit quiet. Going to admit, I’m not having the easiest time at the moment in the old head box – finding it really hard to just sit down and focus on things in general so hobby stuff falls slightly down priority…

  • For Coin, For Contract – Halfling Paymaster

    Every servant of the Empress has their role. Mine just happens to involve balancing transactions and making sure that mercenaries like yourself fulfil their obligations. And while yes, my usefulness against a horde of orcs or the Northmen may be limited, I do like to think it works better when I am in charge of…

  • Bring In The Armoured Car!

    When the forces of the Emir of Bazistan is deployed onto the streets, they are often accompanied by wheeled armour cars armed with heavy machine guns. Bought for cheap from the Cynericians next door when they replaced them with the shiny new model, these things are more effective at telling the protestors to go home…

  • SITREP – Going Into The Archives

    A long time ago, I picked up a few of the X-Commandos from Crooked Dice. These figures are some great 1970’s Dr Who style government goons that pop up to shoot the aliens and die in the background. This wouldn’t usually be my thing, but like anyone with a passing interest in the SAS, Crooked…

  • February 2022 Update

    Another month gone, the shortest of them all for 2022. This month was definitely a bit on the slow side – I spent a lot of it struggling to actually sleep at night and so the hobby time turned into the “oh god I need to nap or else I’ll go mad” time. However, I…

  • SITREP – Captain London, Special Scientific Reconnaissance

    Ah boy – with all the Germans up to sneaky tricks, it’s time for some British response. And what better than to bring in a real life Super Solider. Scots and Yorks maybe be joined by her (and other SSR personnel) depending on any possible threat, ready to assist with any sneaky Nazi tricks. By…

  • SITREP – Ooops, More Bazi SF

    Seeing as I spent most of the month writing rules, writing articles or 3d printing things, I realised I should probably actually finish painting something before the month ends. My eyes settled on the Combat Octopus KSK figures I had on my desk which I assembled back in December and had been waiting for their…
