The waves of Ultramodern releases ebb and flow like the tide BUT that doesn’t mean when the tide is out, there isn’t something exciting to look into. This week has updates from Spectre, Combat Octopus, Austin Miniatures and more!
Combat Geometry: The Big Week

17/03/2025

In the last few days, it’s been very Old World-y around here. The reason of course is The Ides of Marc, an Old World event that my group of friends (including the Regular Opponents) arranged at the start of the year. You’ve seen a few updates on the journey since the start of the year but now it was time for the main event. The good news was that I was able to pack the whole week before the game day full of stuff to do, enough that I didn’t have a chance to write about any of it. So…

Hobby Update: Jan-Feb 2025

10/03/2025

We’re two months into 2025, so I should probably talk about what I’ve been up to huh? You may have seen my PAINT-REPs so far, covering two sets of figures from Spectre. I was hoping to have more than three figures painted so far but alas I’ve been suffering the malaise. Plenty of models on the desk but the excitement to actually apply brush to figure is lacking a little bit. I’m hoping that will be corrected soon, so I can get back to painting up everything I’m planning. Okay, just going to very quickly sidestep away from the tiny…
SITREP: Wednesday Night Conversion Time

07/03/2025

In my last Combat Geometry post, I mentioned about adding a command group to my second Warrior formation. On paper, this is a good idea, giving the various bonus to combat resolution and striking power. The problem is that I don’t have a second Warriors of Chaos command group. I do, however, have my version of Khagra’s Ravagers, a set of Underworld figures from Games Workshop that are among my favourites they have ever made. This gives me a champion (you can probably guess who) and a sorcerer who could be conscripted into counting as a Musician (something you can…

Combat Geometry: Enter The Dragon

03/03/2025

The next Old World games day is fast approaching on the Ides of March. I’ve been attempting to get some figures painted up for it (and avoiding the Knights for as long as possible). However, new events mean a chance to build my list further. After my last game in January, I expressed some concern about my lack of magical defence, although in retrospect that might be because that particular list was incredibly magical focused. The bigger problem (and one I had last year as well) was that the marauders weren’t around in big enough numbers and were not fast…
