Today I finished assembling all of the infantry and three flyers. Some of the fliers are missing parts of their wings, but instead of taking time to look for them in the bits boxes (yeah, I got bits scattered everywhere), I decided to start painting a unit of infantry. In the game Warrior Heroes Warbands… Continue reading Mid-Summer Madness – Session 3
From time to time, one comes across a model that makes no sense. Today, I worked on one, it was the first iteration of the Dark Elf Cauldron of Blood. GW has since made two other iterations of the Cauldron of Blood, both as absurd as the first one. I remember the Cauldron of Blood… Continue reading Mid-Summer Madness – Session 2
The first thing I did was to organize all of the miniatures by release date. I used two sources to help me do this, the first was the Stuff of Legends website and the second was the Collecting Citadel Miniatures Wiki. I discovered my collection spans thirty years from 1985 to 2005. On the surface,… Continue reading Mid-Summer Madness – Session 1
With the Texas heat comes a madness - it's true! Just look at the circus of grifters goose stepping across the red carpet in Dallas this weekend. I won't get into that, though. But, in a fit of madness, I've challenged myself to try and complete my Games Workshop Dark Elf army. I purchased most… Continue reading Mid-Summer Madness – Session 0
Taverns and Inns are deeply embedded in Role Playing Games and fantasy literature. Whether it is the Prancing Pony in Lord of the Rings or Inn of the Last Home in DragonLance, the tavern inn is an important meeting place for characters and often serves as home, or base of operations, for traveling characters. The… Continue reading WHAT – A Day Carousing
While most of Entoich is open semi-arid land, the land becomes more wooded in the north approaching Tropilium, which was where Bhoma and her band was headed. The border between Tropilium and Entoich is the Clemency River and the Clemency River flows into Mare Tropilii, "Sea of the Tropilium". Today finds them in Kanesh, the… Continue reading WHAT 1st Encounter – Part 4, The Game
In this part I'm going to show you who lives in the dungeon. This is the last bit of prep work before playing the Dungeons Encounter in Warrior Heroes Adventures in Talomir or WHAT for short. Though I've taken three posts to demonstrate the prep work I've done, in actual time it only takes a… Continue reading WHAT 1st Encounter – Part 3, The Denizens
With Warrior Heroes Adventures in Talomir (WHAT), I have a new game, a new campaign, a new encounter - all begging for new miniatures. These figures are all 3D Printed from BrushFu Studios. I don't own a 3D printer, so I purchase figures from boutique 3D printing service companies found on Etsy, eBay and other… Continue reading WHAT 1st Encounter – Part 2, The Party
Two Hour Wargames has released a new set of Fantasy rules - Warrior Heroes Adventures in Talomir (WHAT). To be honest, I was about to sell off my entire fantasy collection - miniatures, terrain, rules, novels, etc. I'm at that age where I'm having to downsize a lot of things. However, when I got wind… Continue reading WHAT 1st Encounter – Part 1, The Set Up
Step into the Way Back Machine (along with Mr. Peabody), and let's go back to the last decade of the previous century. There were several massed battle fantasy games available - all competing against Games Workshop's Warhammer. Heartbreaker Hobbies had a game called Leviathan. They even used some of the same sculptors who had sculpted… Continue reading Heartbreaker Dark Elves
At MilleniumCon 2009, a bunch of guys from LSHMS (Lone Star Historical Miniatures Society) had a table in the dealer area where they were selling items other members wanted to get rid of, they were kind of running a flea market before the actual flea market day of the convention. Anyway, they had a big… Continue reading A Band of Dark Elves
June is nearly over, so here are the fantasy miniatures I managed to paint this month. As you can tell, by the last few posts, my attention span - well, let's be polite and say it wanders all over the place. I've painted fantasy, ancient Greeks, seven years' war, and WWII figures this month and… Continue reading June Fantasy
