  • Spectre Technical Review

    As if summoned by my last post about them , my Spectre technical order turned up.  I know some people in the Kickstarter have been waiting a long time for these but don’t worry, I think they were worth the wait. I’m going to do a quick overview of them and the weapon systems I’ve picked…

  • Technical Notes: A Primer

    Intro With the recent release of Spectre’s comprehensive range of Technicals and weapon systems, it’s never been a better time to be a militia warlord on the tabletop. This primer is designed to fill you in on these increasingly common vehicles and their role on the tabletop. I’ll cover some tactics for using them, some…

  • Lead Mountain II – A Tiny Update

    Less productive week this time but still more soldiers for the Crimson Militia. Three more Spectre MENA miltia ready for the board. Tomorrow will be more productive – probably to counter-act all the purchasing that will be done once the Spectre technicals and Russians arrive

  • Lead Mountain II – Christmas Work

    Over my Christmas break I intended to get some stuff painted. However, I ended up doing a lot of other stuff (like going on walks with family and a day of KillTeam in York) so I didn’t get a huge amount done. I did manage to paint the bases on a large number of the…

  • What happened to Project Little Bird?

    A while back I wrote a long post about making some Little Birds to add to the tabletop. Since then, nothing has happened. The reasons for this are multiple: I have been super busy so didn’t sit down and build the kit King’s Hobbies have shown off some 3D renders for both the AH6 and…

  • Operation Dragon’s Hoard: Part 1 – The Concept

    I mentioned in my end of year post that I plan to make a demo board for modern wargaming at some point this year. After having been to a few shows and having a wonderful time, I’d love to get even more involved. In addition, various parties have given me some advice and offers of…

  • TGBMWRC Appendix 2: Personal Thoughts

    If you want some objective thoughts on the rules listed below, the main article is here.  I repeat the disclaimer I have used throughout this series: I have done some writing for Skirmish Sangin and I am listed in the Spectre Operations book as a play tester.  To be clear, these are my personal thoughts…

  • End of 2016/Start of 2017

    Ah it’s the Christmas season. A time when people get to celebrate, receive presents and blog writers get to wax lyrical about life, usually sipping a bottle of wine and trying to look pensive for their relatives while actually staring at wordpress’s blinding screen. Instead I’m just looking at my new NAS box, all ready…

  • TGBMWRC Appendix 1: Campaigns & Scenarios

    This is the first appendix to The Great Big Modern Wargaming Rules Comparison article. It is designed to be read after the main article. I also repeat the disclaimer: I have done some writing for Skirmish Sangin and I am listed in the Spectre Operations book as a play tester.  First of all, I want…

  • Battle Report: Spectre Operations 01/12/2016

    More photos and coverage of the game can be found at Pioneer Painting and SESWC This week’s wargaming took me back to Spectre, demoing the game for the first time to two members of the SESWC. I also wanted to put on a bit of a show and get lots of insurgents on the board. I had…

  • Lead Mountain II – Emergency Reinforcements

    So my plan of working on the boiler suited criminals got tweaked last week after I arranged to run another Spectre Operations game. So rather than painting a load of redish brown boiler suits, I was instead rushing to get a few more insurgents painted up. The bulk of the figures are Empress Insurgents, painted…

  • The Great Big Modern Wargaming Rules Comparison

    Part 2 is now available The Complete Edition is now available. In the new year, this post will redirect to the complete version   Before we start a disclaimer: I have done some writing for Skirmish Sangin and I am listed in the Spectre Operations book as a play tester. EDIT: Two appendices have been…

  • Lead Mountain II – MENA Civilians

    First stage done – I have finished my MENA civilians from Spectre. The figures are perfect for civilians to dot the tabletop but their posing makes them easy to use as objectives or intelligence operatives (the guy in the baseball cap will probably be an undercover agent rushing for extraction). Painting wise, I tried to…

  • Lead Mountain II – The Bad Guys Strike Back!

    If you have been following my blog, last year you would have seen The Lead Mountain – an attempt to paint all my figures. Well it went as well as you would expect the average wargamer’s attempt to paint up everything would go. I also drove myself mad and posted up repeated posts going “I…

  • Spectre Operations Starting Lists

    As a fan of Spectre Operations, I’ve been spending a lot of time on the Spectre Operations Wargaming Group. Due to this, I’ve seen a fair number of people looking to get into the game for the first time and seeking advice as to what they should be getting in terms of figures. True, you…
