  • SITREP – Rules and Platoons!

    Well I do love a good contents page don’t I? A lot of time has been spent digging through various conversions of Chain of Command these last few weeks, trying to arrange together some information to be used to make up a set of changes to move Chain of Command into the Ultramodern era. I’ll…

  • News- Podcast Time!

    Surprise! The guys over at The Table’s Edge (a Spectre Operations podcast) invited me on to chat about all thing Ultramodern Wargaming. We talked a lot about a wide selection of things from how I started in the hobby up to my thoughts on rulesets and even the ChargeReal, which might explain why it’s 90…

  • SITREP – Big Printings Pt.2

    And there we are – all 5 walls from the Vae Victis advent calendar printed. I still have the damaged wall to repair but I’m very happy with how these giant pieces of resin have turned out. There will be a little bit of clean up before undercoating (mostly clipping off the chunks of raft…

  • SITREP – The Prince’s Private Army Pt.1

    It’s taken me a little time (I was distracted by all sorts of fantasy things) but I’ve finally finished off the first three Criminal Element Heavies from Spectre. As mentioned previously, these guys are going to be used as another Special Forces team in the Bazi Empire. While the Insurgent PMC I’ve done previously look…

  • Longshore Lockdown: The Final Matches and Wrap Up

    And so, all good things must come to an end. The Necromunda Campaign that we started all the way back in October came to an end after 6 weeks of furious gaming. It’s been a great little ride, giving em a chance to try a brand new game, build up a cool gang for it…

  • Fantasy – Ser Godric of the North

    I thought I was done with painting Chaos Warriors. I thought I’d had my fill of the black armoured bastards, the fridge sized units that are one of the best designed things Games Workshop have come up with. I’ve painted the Underworlds band, I painted both the classic design and the newer one (that still…

  • ChargeBlog Goes To Warhammer World

    A friend of mine reached the ripe old age of 30 this time last year and, due to lockdown, we were unable to get out and do anything for it. In a year with fewer restrictions (for now), a plan was hatched to go down to Warhammer World to hire some tables for a Necromunda…

  • Impressions: Black Powder Red Earth 28mm

    Oh boy. It’s been a long time since I’ve looked at rulesets, even longer since I’ve written my impressions on them. So why not kick it off with something that has been eagerly awaited? For a long time, there has been a lot of discussion about a tabletop game from Black Powder Red Earth. Keen…

  • Wargaming Week 27/07/2020

    It’s a new week, time for a new update! Not much hobby done as I spent a chunk of last week fixing the website again. I wrote a little bit about what has been changed up on my Twitter (and warning about what I think caused them). Fingers crossed this is the last time we’ll…

  • Wargaming Week 19/07/2020

    Another week, another update. You might have noticed some more posts are missing images. Looks like the gremlins have got back into the system and something is removing files from my uploads folder – the price of running a blog install for 10+ years. I’m going to spend some time hunting through it, making sure…

  • Wargaming Week 13/07/2020

    Another week, another update. Managed to get some time aside to start painting four more US Marines. I was going to try and get more done this weekend but it was one of those weekends where the motivation dives into the toilet. NEWS Flytrap Factory are working on some cool 3D models of SIG assault…

  • Wargaming Week 06/07/2020

    Time for a new update! Not much in hobby news so today is mostly a news post. NEWS Empress are continuing their work to bring all the HLBS vehicles in house. This week sees two interesting vehicles for the Brits – the Warthog and Viking. These AFVs are perfect for fighting in Afghanistan, as well…

  • Wargaming Week 22/06/2020

    Another week in Lockdown, time for a new update! Two more SITREPs this week, and I have another in-progress covering my Dark Eldar character. More details coming soon also for the Enforcers (who I’ve also slowly been working on). NEWS Lots of new releases from Knights of Dice down under – 15 new kits. However,…

  • Wargaming Week 15/06/2020

    Another week in lockdown, another week slowly keeping things going. Two models for the price of one this week – finishing off another few elements of the Bazi military. These were fun to paint and I’m quite happy at how they are finished off. The whole point at the moment is slowly working through my…

  • Wargaming Week 08/06/2020

    A new week beginning, lots of events going on in the world that I’ll admit I’ve found hard to take my eyes off. I’d like to echo the start of last week’s update –  Listen to those in need, to those who are hurting and have had enough, try to help if you can, stand…
