Destroyed Mech Markers for Mech Attack
Each time that the club has gotten out our big mechs for a game of Mech Attack in 28mm, we have discussed leaving destroyed mechs on the board or making markers to represent the wreckage. I made these basic wreck markers using the same technique as the plaster wrecked cars I made some time ago. ... Read more
CSW Hobby Night- Terrain projects
Tim and I got together this week for another hobby night. We made progress on a couple of fun projects… Tim worked on assembling some blocks created from Hirst Arts molds. Once completed, he will be able to use these to build all sorts of cool sci-fi areas. I had started one of my Gen ... Read more
Painted- Warhammer 40,000 Death Guard
I’ve started painting the Death Guard figures from the latest 40k box set. This is a small set of them that I felt included most of the textures and materials used in the set. It should also be enough to play Shadow War Armageddon, so it gives me a chance to try some ideas and ... Read more
A Short Shadow War AAR. Tau Vs Squats

I’ve played in a tournament and even made the trek to the MiniWargaming studios in Canada to film some battle reports. So when the new edition was announced, I was thrilled. Age of Sigmar ...

AAR- Trying out Warhammer 40,000 8th edition
Recently, I got a chance to try Warhammer 40k with Frank and his group of friends who have been playing 40k since Rogue Trader. It was a 1500 point game between two teams controlling Slaanesh Chaos Space Marines versus a vehicle heavy force of Imperial Guard. We used a scenario from the rulebook, cities of ... Read more
CSW Hobby Night
Mike, Mattias, and I got together for one of our semi-regular hobby nights. It was a productive evening all around! Look how happy they are! Mike made a lot of progress on some ships. In his own words: Last night I painted decks and detail work on US warships that date from 1890 to around ... Read more
Tutorial- Ridiculously Fast Terrain From Toys
I ran a little experiment yesterday to see just how quickly and easily I could complete some reasonably good tabletop-quality terrain. On the block were two items from my “Bin of Lost Toys”. With nearly all my terrain coming from used resale shop toys, I inevitably end up with some extras that don’t exactly fit ... Read more
AAR Video- First try at Shadow War Armageddon!

So, we were quite excited to hear that Games Workshop was using the Necromunda ruleset as the basis for their 40k-setting warband skirmish game “Shadow War Armageddon”. Last Thursday I grabbed a few crates of terrain and 2 kill teams and ... Read more
