AAR/Impressions- Marvel Crisis Protocol
Last night, I joined a group of regulars at Oak Lawn Comics for their inaugural weekly Marvel Crisis Protocol night. The game is usually played on a 3×3 board, so we set up a sprawling abandoned military installation on a 6×4 table, and played 2 separate games on each half. Brian and I played the ... Read more
Review- Black Site Studio MV Australis
Last year at Adepticon, I saw a kit that I was super excited about. Black Site Studio created a huge 4 foot long cargo ship. I had contemplating scratch building one of these for a long time, and had even talked to some designers about making a kit, but Black Site Studio beat me to ... Read more
Painted- Marvel Villains
I finished painting the other half of the Marvel Crisis Protocol starter box. I was less excited about the villains, so I decided to speed paint these. Red Skull got a very simple paint job. His coat is layers of Bascilicanum Grey contrast paint, and his skull is Flesh Tearers red. The cube got a ... Read more
Review- Black Site Studios New Horizon Bank And Trust
Last year I picked up the New Horizon Bank And Trust by Black Site Studio. This is a fun prepainted MDF and acrylic kit. Once I saw it, I knew I was going to have to grab it. It reminds me of so many midwestern bank buildings built in the 1980s. The kit is designed ... Read more
Painted- The Avengers
Recently, I picked up the new Marvel Crisis Protocol game. It’s a great value with 10 minis including scenic bases and a bunch of terrain, all in hard plastic. I was a little concerned about the 40mm scale, but once I saw the minis in person, I was no longer worried. They do tower a ... Read more

Dragon-Fall 2019 Walking Dead Narrative Games
At Dragon-Fall 2019, I prepared a 2 part Walking Dead All Out War narrative campaign. The first part was a twist on the scenario I have run numerous times before, and the second part was something totally different. This was a city once, a long, long time ago. Now it’s a tomb filled with the ... Read more

I picked up Mantic’s Hellboy board game last night, and decided to use it to get myself back into the painting game. I threw these guys together in a few hours this morning. The goal here was to get them table top ready in a short time period. I am still thinking about basing, so ... Read more

Giga-Robo is the card-driven miniatures game of giant robot combat, and a heartfelt love-letter to the Super Robot anime genre. It has some fantastic anime style robot minis! The album will eventually ... Read more
