  • Longshore Lockdown – Game 1 “The Caravan Heist”

    For more details on just what’s going on I recommend reading my intro post where I explain the basics The armoured truck rumbled through the slums surrounding the Whisper Broker’s compound, each of the ramshackle shacks assembled from the detritus that forms in a busy shipping port, bonded together and covered in a strange sandy…

  • Longshore Lockdown – Introduction

    It is the end times! A pox has swept the docks of Mercy Longshore. Industry and trade have ground to a halt, and the scum of Mercy’s underdecks have floated to the surface to take advantage of the chaos. The Great Houses of Syracuse demand the trade through Mercy Longshore flows again, and have issued…

  • SITREP -Necromunda time!

    Tonight was the first Necromunda campaign game. A full report will be up tomorrow (hopefully) but it’s safe to say fun was had, lessons learned and OH GOD SO MUCH MDF. I was literally gluing the final pieces together like an hour before it was game on. Really need to actually knuckle down and get…

  • SITREP – The Final Few Buildings

    Spent tonight preparing for tomorrow’s Necromunda game (partially – was filled with the urge to play Escape from Tarkov for some reason) but also building a few more Adobe buildings that will be the board. Yes technically not the underhive but still fits the close quarters idea. The four on the right are the new…

  • SITREP – Buildings (and Tiny Buildings)

    So there I was, planning to paint up my Hive Scum when I suddenly realised I needed to get a board together for my Necromunda game on Wednesday. Previous, we’d played on a regular skirmish board which was fun but this time I’m tempted to try something a little closer to the tunnel scraps that…

  • SITREP – Hive Scum Pt 3

    All the scum are assembled and painting is begun. I was planning on getting more done but ended up having to do other things in the evening. I also tried to go write the cards for my band of “Regulators” but alas, Yaktribe was having issues. Hopefully better luck tomorrow. Also I did my monthly…

  • September 2021 Project Update

    Well a little later than usual. So going to say – September felt like a hard month. Generally low on energy and focus across all things, so naturally the painting suffered a touch. But at the same time, managed to get some game time in which is always a plus. On the other hand, I’m…

  • SITREP – Hive Scum Pt2

    Busy day playing RPGs and board games for a friend’s birthday event but managed to assemble the other three Vigilantes for Necromunda. More Anvil parts – the welder mask I particularly like was lurking in the D-Day release. Gave them a mix of light and cheap weapons, so hopefully it’s easy to squeeze a group…

  • SITREP – Hive Scum!

    The Necromunda campaign that I assembled my Enforcers for is finally starting (only a year and bit later than planned) and so I have begun preparing for my first game next week. However, the other part of the campaign is a competition to build up a pile of Hive Scum. I’ve decided to dive into…

  • SITREP – Investigations and Gaming

    Well it’s happened. The Big Reveal of the shadow evil form of the Empress’s Hound’s Big Bad Guy occured. I guess I have two weeks to get the game piece size painted up. Seeing as I need him to be doing much more than just standing around being menacing. In other news, we got to…

  • 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 – 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…
