Star Wars – X-Wing intro game
Since we had to reschedule the start of our Shadowrun campaign, I used the opportunity to try out the second edition of Star Wars X-Wing with my son. The closest comparison we have is Armada, which although Star Wars, plays much differently. The main advantage we found is that the game runs much faster, turn…
Zombicide – Clovis

by
The finished miniature of the survivor Clovis, from the Zombicide: Black Plague game. This is painted using the tutorial and guide available at The Army Painter website, for the basic Black Plague gallery. Although I am using Army Painter War Paints, they are the general series, and not the Zombicide specific line, so some color…
Successful painting effort
Though I am not yet finished, I had a rather successful second attempt at painting a miniature. This time, the paint did not explode all over me. I did determine that my eyesight isn’t quite a good as it used to be – the fine details are rather difficult to see these days – but…
Runewars – Waiqar vs Latari
Finally got a chance to play some more Runewars, which has been quite some time. As a result, both of my son’s ended up playing against each other, while I attempted to decipher and teach the rules. Fairly quickly, they both picked up the game, and managed to get a series of maneuvers that surprised…
Paint Effort Fail

So my first attempt ended dismally, with paint pretty much everywhere except the intended location. I have since ordered and replaced the paint set (which is being handed down to my wife for craft projects). In the meantime, I did manage to salvage what little video there was, though I have edited out the associated…
Runewars Recruits – Waiqar Infantry Command
To go along side the Daqan command unit, we added the associated Waiqar command unit. Similar in theme, and similarly simple in construction, the detail continues to impress. These are of course for the Runewars Miniatures game, the full unit name being the Waiqar Infantry Command unit. I particularly like the skeletal drummer, previous musicians…
Runewars recruits – Daqan Infantry Command
Adding a few units to the Runewars Miniatures collection with my younger son, this time adding in the Runewars: Daqan Infantry Unit Upgrade Expansion Pack, to boost the infantry units. Obviously not painted yet, but assembled and otherwise ready to go. Compared to other plastics that I have assembled, these continue to be remarkable easy…
New consideration for the painting projects
If you have been a follower of this site (not sure those exist), then you may have read a couple weeks ago that I was inspired to start painting miniatures again with my recent purchase of Zombicide: Black Plague. I even went so far as to create a subject-specific YouTube channel to create and post…
