  • Drybrushes

    On the topic of painting, I have been recently working on improving my painting techniques. In general, I use Citadel Contrast Paints for most (or even all) the basic colors on my miniatures – they work well and make the process quick. They are not necessarily competition level, but certainly very good for tabletop games,…

  • Fleet Troopers

    Got inspired over the weekend and worked on painting up my Rebel Fleet Troopers. Overall, I am rather happy with them. I also spent some side time to film the various stages, I am working on video content for that as well, if I can settle on a format that I am comfortable with –…

  • Wraithbone Alternatives

    In an effort to find a more cost-effective base coat paint for use with Contrast paints, we spent some time this weekend finding several similar shades of spray paint to the official Citadel Wraithbone. At this point, I have an official can, and 3 alternatives ranging from 50% to 75% cheaper. Assuming they work and…

  • Swoop Riders

    Experimenting with some new video formats, specifically focusing on miniature assembly and painting processes. Not sure how much I will stick with it, or if I will even like the format, but with the new Swoop Riders for Star Wars Legion, I am giving some time to the effort. My basic plan is to assemble…

  • Giant Centipedes

    After a short break, we had another session of the Carrion Crown campaign, with the group continuing thru the Shudderwood. As partially expected, the group was highly resistant to the concept of running when faced with overwhelming odds, so stalled out a bit with a horde of werewolves in the forest. As a result, more…

  • Carrion Crown

    This weekend is our next session of the Carrion Crown, with the group recently level’ed to level 7. The group has mostly resolved the issues faced at Ascanor Lodge and are now taking on the next stage of their journeys into the Shudderwood. As usual, the game will be streamed live, and we welcome any…

  • Hoth Ice Fields

    The new Legion terrain is hopefully finished, and ready to go – I set up a starting play field for the current picture. As designed, the tiles can be rotated four different directions, and generally speaking, continue to line up. The boards are currently supported over our regular gaming setup on a set of fence…

  • Hoth Updates

    Continuing the effort to craft a terrain board with a Hoth theme, and so far, the hills and rocks seem to be working well. I settled on a recipe for the grout mixture, which makes it fairly easy to mold. I suspect due to the filler material I add it causes the drying time to…
