  • Wargaming Week 22/10/2018

    Let’s start this Wargaming Week, covering the 15th through to the 21st of October. BLOG STUFF This week’s post was taking a look at the Spectre Tier 1 Operator range. This was another range that has been sat in my “to be finished” queue for a while and, despite not having much hobby time, it was…

  • Range Impressions: Spectre Tier 1 Operators

    A frequent question people have when starting to collect Spectre figures is which range to get first. For those wanting their own tiny Special Forces team, the Task Force Operators range is obviously the first stop. However, for sheer versatility, I really have to recommend the Tier 1 Operators. The common identity to all these…

  • Wargaming Week 15/10/2018

    Let’s start this Wargaming Week, covering the 8th through to the 14th of October. BLOG STUFF This week’s post was taking a look at Spectre’s S.W.A.T. team! These guys were fun to paint and I’m really happy with the final result. Now I just have to get them operating. NEWS First up, Radio DishDash (who for…

  • Impressions: Spectre S.W.A.T.

    One thing that’s great about wargaming is just how broad you can be. From 54mm games where players control single figures, all the way down to tiny scales where you are basically playing with painted pins to represent your armies of soldiers, there is something for everyone. And even within relatively niche periods, such as…

  • Wargaming Week 08/10/2018

    Let’s start this Wargaming Week, covering the 1st through to the 7th of October. BLOG STUFF This week’s post was a Range Impression taking a look at the Deniable Operators from Spectre Miniatures. These are a cool set, and despite being painted a while ago I really like them. I’m still really busy with work so…

  • Range Impressions: Spectre Deniable Operators

    Although wargaming for most is focused more overt actions (complete with all the firepower you might want), for most of history covert action has played an important role. TV, films and games are filled with deeds of low profile agents fighting wars in other people’s countries where they are not supposed to go. The frequent…

  • Wargaming Week 01/10/2018

    Let’s start this Wargaming Week, covering the 24th through to the 30th of October. BLOG STUFF This week saw yet another part in Project Humvee, looking at the new weapon options. I’m really excited to see these come out, especially the weapon stations – I think I’ll be picking up a few more to upgrade some…

  • Project Humvee – Weapon Options

    Last time we looked at Project Humvee, we’d just finished adding another chassis to our convoy. In this post, we’re going to add some more weapon options. When running scenarios, it’s nice to be able to pick from a selection of gear, so the hot-swappable turret system is perfect. But first, I needed to add…

  • Wargaming Week 24/09/18

    Let’s start this Wargaming Week, covering the 17th through to the 23rd of September. BLOG STUFF This week’s post was finishing off the Foxhounds. I’m really happy that I have finally got these vehicles done – they have been sat on my desk for over a year at this point but now they get to go…

  • Force Protection – Finishing the Foxhounds

    Wargamers like building themselves piles of lead. This is a known phenomenon. Of course, having a blog does like to remind you of these lead piles, especially when you start cleaning up your blog of old posts. One of the first impressions pieces I wrote, way back in May 2017, was on the Evil Bear…

  • Wargaming Week 17/09/18

    Let’s start this Wargaming Week, covering the 10th through to the 16th of September. BLOG STUFF This week’s post saw a triumphant return to battle reports with a Humvee ambush in Bazistan. Turns out, people really like battle reports. There is always a little bit of stress when writing and then running games at the club,…

  • Battle Report – “Training Day” – Skirmish Sangin

    Man, it’s been a while since I got some figures on the board. The last battle report was way back in March (where the M-ATV got blown up) and work has been mad. So, why not get the giant table out and put those Humvees to good use. With the ongoing situation in the breakaway…

  • Wargaming Week 10/09/2018

    Let’s start this Wargaming Week, covering the 3rd through to the 9th of September. BLOG STUFF Last week saw two posts! Wednesday’s post on the new stowage available from Spectre was completely unplanned – I wasn’t expecting the new kit to arrive on time. However, seeing as I was about to stick some of it onto…

  • Project Humvee – Vehicle 3

    In the last Project Humvee post, I has a chunk planning out Vehicle 3 in the project. Well, this week I managed to get around to assembling and painting it in preparation for next week’s game. First stage was assembly. This was exactly the same as mentioned in back in the first post of Project…

  • Impressions: Spectre Stowage Version 2

    Way back when the Razor was released by Spectre, they also added a stowage kit to the range so you could add all sorts of boxes, bags and launchers to your vehicles and troops. I took a look at original pack back in July last year and since then have bought it four times, explaining…
