  • Range Impression: Empress US Army Infantry

    When going back to do my Range Impression on the Empress SAS, I found myself delving into the release history of Empress. Which of course reminded me of their second release set, the US Army Infantry. Having just finished the Strykers, now seemed the perfect time to get the last couple of figures finished and…

    Let’s start this Wargaming Week, covering the 30th of July through to the 5th of August. BLOG STUFF This week’s main post was taking a look at Empress’s Strykers, in both ICV and MGS versions. These guys have been sat undercoated on to-do list for over a year but I just hadn’t got round to doing…

  • Impressions: Empress Stryker ICV and MGS

    Playing as US force in Ultramodern tabletop wargaming is like being a kid with a box of toys. There are so many options that are available! On one side, you could be rolling around in technicals as SF advisers alongside local troops. Alternatively, you could break out the heavy metal and plonk the Bradleys and…

    Let’s start this Wargaming Week, covering the 23rd through to the 29th of July. BLOG STUFF July’s month of Range Impressions is over with one last post looking at the Bundswehr from Empress.

  • Impressions: Empress Bundeswehr

    Empress releasing a new range in their modern collection is a pretty major event, especially when it introduces something entirely brand new. Going for the all in approach, a new range gives you plenty of toys to get ready for the tabletop. Earlier this year, just before Salute, they finally released one of their most…

    Let’s start this Wargaming Week, covering the 16th through to the 22nd of July. BLOG STUFF This week’s post was a Range Impression of Eureka’s excellent ANP sets. I’ve really liked using these guys on the field, both for their look but also for the different opportunities they provide for a BLUFOR player. Going back and…

  • Range Impressions: Eureka ANP

    It’s hard to wargame Afghanistan without involving any of the locals. There are many situations where missions should include elements of the local government, either being instructed by the coalition or providing assistance to make an operation seem less outsider focused. Among the variety of Afghan Security Forces, the Afghan National Police have been a consistent…

    Let’s start this Wargaming Week, covering the 9th through to the 15th of July. Blog Stuff This week’s post was another Range Impression, taking a look at the Empress SAS in Afghanistan. Despite this being some of the oldest sculpts I own, you can tell I really like them. Expect to keep seeing them in…

  • Range Impressions: Empress SAS in Afghanistan

    Despite being a blog that plays around with new releases, it’s always important to look back at some of the older figures. Today’s range covers some models which are probably among the oldest sculpts in my collection but I still rank them among my favourites. We’re talking, of course, about Empress’s SAS in Afghanistan range.…

  • Wargaming Week 09/07/2018

    Let’s start this Wargaming Week, covering the 2nd through to the 8th of July. This is going to be a short one as I’m actually on holiday, enjoying the UK’s current heatwave. As such, last week was pretty barren in terms of hobby (as I rushed to finish my tasks and then pack) and this…

  • Range Impressions: Spectre Task Force Nomad

    In the past my impressions on this blog have been focused on the brand new, the recent arrivals, the purchases just made. However, there are plenty of figures that I have sat in various boxes that haven’t been written up on the blog (especially in this new format). So I think it’s time to break…

    Let’s start this Wargaming Week, covering the 25th of June through to the 1st of July. BLOG STUFF This week’s post was part two of the Humvee project, taking a quick look at the Haynes guide for the vehicle. I really enjoyed reading the book and there are lots of photos that I’ll be working from…

  • Impressions: AM General HUMVEE Enthusiasts’ Manual

    In a complete reversal to my previous vehicle-based project, I decided to pick up my reference material at the start of the project rather than just as it was coming to an end. Osprey does produce a New Vanguard on the Humvee series written by Steven J Zaloga. However, it’s a little outdated now thanks…
