Last Minute Adepticon Prep- 3 Spacecraft for 28mm Mech Attack.
It’s one week from our annual Mech Attack game at Adepticon (Saturday at 10AM) and I’m working like mad to finish up this year’s additions. Two years ago, we added a short train line. Last year we added a full elevated freight train and aircraft. This year we’re adding Spaceships! The game is a get-to-the-dropzone ... Read more
Neo Soviet Gun Turrets
As part of the prep for our Mech Attack game at Adepticon, I made these gun turrets to use as defensive works. They are a simple foam core box with a couple of bits and texture added. The gun itself is the turret from a KV-2 inspired tank made for Dust. To begin, I made ... Read more
AAR- Testing Mech attack for Adepticon
Karl and I are running a game of Mech Attack in 28mm at Adepticon for the third year in a row this March. This week, we tested out a scenario idea with our smaller Mechwarrior figures. The basic concept is that one side is protecting a spaceport (at the bottom of this photo) while also ... Read more
AAR- Thoughts on the Shadow War Armageddon Campaign

The Raiders suffered losses while fighting against the enemy. Their leader, corsair princess Drastanta, suffered head injuries in the fight. One of our new recruits Taldeer was taken ... Read more
Painted- Broken Contract breakers and Black Squadron
I started painting the Black Squadron from Broken Contract and enjoyed them enough to keep going and paint the rest of the set so I can have a fully pained assortment to play with. Broken Contract is a game of labor uprisings in a dystopian sci-fi iron mine. Working people represented in sci fi take ... Read more

This broad society currently includes figures from at least twenty manufacturers across 28mm, 10mm, and space ship scales. If you look around this ... Read more

Painted- Church of Fun for Wreck Age
I recently finished up a third set of Wreck Age figures- The Church of Fun. This was a set of five figures I picked up from Hyacinth games at Adepticon last year, when they were a new release. The Church of Fun are generally depicted as a brightly colored group roaming the wasteland in a ... Read more
AAR- Starship Troopers at Game Hole Con
A few weeks ago, I attended Game Hole Con, a fairly large gaming convention in Madison, Wisconsin. The convention is a mix of gaming activities, but mostly RPGs. I played in two games- Starship Troopers miniatures game, run by Jim Roots of HMGS Midwest and Artemis, a multiplayer computer game that is a lot like being ... Read more
Converting Dark Imperium Poxwalkers for Variety
I have been painting the chaos figures from the Dark Imperium 40k box set lately. With two sets of these figures, I have 40 poxwalkers in 10 different sculpts. Almost every sculpt comes in two pieces , but can only be assembled in one way. I decided to do some quick conversions- rough swaps of ... Read more
