TMX 2022- Thoughts and a Mech Attack Gallery
This June 4th and 5th, my son and I attended the Tabletop Minions Expo (TMX) in Oshkosh WI. It’s a very small affair put on by Adam Loper, host of the Tabletop Minions show.

AAR- Mech Attack- Trying a BIG game!
Tim and I met for a game of Mech Attack last month. We decided to attempt our biggest game of Mech Attack yet. Three 60 point sections on each side. As in the past for 10mm Mech Attack we used our collection of rebased Mechwarrior Clix. I was on the south side with the Grey ... Read more

Fully Painted- Runewars Waiqar the Undying Army
I have finally caught up to Karl in painting an army for Runewars. Here are my skeletons and such for Waiqar the Undying. What you see in the photos here are two core sets, one box of command figures and one set of Ankaur Maro as a mounted and unmounted version. The basic infantry (reanimates) ... Read more
AAR- Runewars, Battle at Greenfire!
One Thursday last month, no CSW club members were available, so I trekked down to 95th street to see what Greenfire Games in Oak Lawn had to offer Runewars players. It was a slow day, but Mike, one of the owners graciously offered to play. We both fielded Daqan and as I had two boxed ... Read more
Tutorial: Painting Runewars’ Waiqar the Undying

After assembly and cleanup of the models, I primed them with a color I mixed- white gesso with burnt sienna and a little yellow ocher. Since there are a large number of models, I used an airbrush. While I was ... Read more
