If you are looking at this blog, it is likely because you have been lead here from something connected to 7TV. It's not what the blog is about, but out of the games I play it is the one that allows for the most creativity. The entire concept of the game, a sandbox that allows... Continue Reading →
Over the Christmas Holiday I started working on the Fishfolk Cultists from Crooked Dice. These were released along with a lot of other Lovecraft themed minis and terrain to support the "Lurkers from the Deep" feature pack. To be fair, these were released before LotD dropped, I guess to whet the appetite. Even though Lurkers... Continue Reading →
Time to clear the decks. Get ready for new projects. 2022, new year, new toys to paint, new games to play. With the way I work on this hobby, I have a few different things going at the same time and not all of those get their own blog post. Some of this is due... Continue Reading →
SYNOPSIS We've all been there before. Where? That's the problem. Or, it's part of the problem. When I write "we've all been there before" I do not mean at that location. Not literally. That would be odd and crowded. Clearly I mean that we have all been in a similar situation. Any attempts are literalism... Continue Reading →
Keeping the tradition going. This is Not a Santa number 5. It all started with finding a random mini in someone's bargain bin; a mini with a certain look. It surprising how many miniatures actually look like Santa Claus. Or, maybe not. Maybe any breaded male figure with a certain girth can be painted in... Continue Reading →
I have been slow rolling these blog posts. The HeroQuest project, the goal being a fully painted set of the original HeroQuest core set, has been completed for a few weeks now. I didn't take the time to take the photos to write the posts to blog the blog. With the end of the year... Continue Reading →
I am proud to have correctly spelled sarcophagus on the first try. Pathetic, yes. But why are you judging me? The sarcophagus and the alchemist's bench, two of the coolest pieces of furniture in HeroQuest. They just looked cool on the table. They set the theme nicely. Yeah, bookshelves and tables and chests are cool,... Continue Reading →
Or both. I'm working on 2 or 3 projects at a time. This is how I tend to operate. It lets me have a various works in different stages of completion. When I get bored with one, or when I finish one, I can jump to the next already started piece. Bored of figures? Work... Continue Reading →
Or, the "The Two Towers." Or, alternatively, "Half-Face, Will Game." Historicon was back. They took one year off for the plague and moved it to the fall, replacing Fall-In with Hcon. Makes sense if you are going to have a convention, you want to use the name of the biggest convention. Draws more people. And,... Continue Reading →
I'm still working on how best to print the HQ furniture. The chests went well. The cabinets, less so. The models are impressively made and free on Thingiverse. There is no problem with the models. But, as I've written before, 3D printing is an art. Here we have a modification of the cabinet. Open shelves... Continue Reading →
