Review/AAR- Last Days: Zombie Apocalypse
Osprey was kind enough to send us a review copy of Ash Barker’s new zombie game, Last Days: Zombie Apocalypse. We got to spend some time at Adepticon, chatting with Ash about the game, and I was very excited to read the book and try it out. The game is sort of a love letter ... Read more
AAR- Mutants and Death-Ray Guns
Soon after joining the Chicago Skirmish Wargames I was introduced to Ganesha Games’ Song of Blades and Heroes. I loved the fairly simple rules system. (Really simple compared to many of the G.W. rules systems.) I then looked into the other Ganesha Games products and found Mutants and Death Ray Guns. I love post-apocalyptic gaming ... Read more
Tutorial: Spacecraft 3- Ventauran Assault Craft.
Here’s the biggie… This is not my favorite of the 3 Spacecraft I built for Adepticon, but it’s the one that I think is the most visually impressive. I painted it to match my Ventauran force which is green with orange accents. Ventaurans are a figure line based largely on Traveler Zhodani, created and produced ... Read more

This spacecraft began it’s life as the front 2/3 of a Power Rangers Mission Response Vehicle . And yeah, it’s had A LOT of modifications. I’m calling it a ... Read more
Tutorial: Spaceship 1- Smugglers Cargo Lifter.
I finally got around to posting pictures of the objective spaceships from our Adepticon Mech Attack Game. For a few in-progress pics, see my earlier post on Spacecraft Construction. The starting point for the first one was a Star Wars “Deluxe Republic Attack Shuttle”. The example I acquired was missing the wings (along with a ... Read more
Hobby Night- Bushido Edition
Tim and I got together for a quiet hobby night. Coincidentally, we both worked on Bushido miniatures… I finished assembling and basing these Oni demons for my Savage Wave faction. The bases are green stuff pressed into a stone pattern, and I added some additional random debris, including bricks, broken wood bits, and even some ... Read more
