Alternate title, "Say, don't they look familiar?" These robo-minions were not new additions from Crooked Dice in the Argonauts Kickstarter. These miniatures were included but have been part of the Crooked Dice line of figures for years. I did not start playing 7TV until after 2nd Edition so these may have been part of the...

HeroQuest Project, Post 3: The Goblins
Continuing on with painting the original HeroQuest. After the painting of the Heroes, I need to start to get the baddies painted up. The very first game in the Quest Book is a bit of a mess and uses almost everything in the box. Clearly, that quest was meant to show the kiddies a crowded... Continue Reading →
Spartoi, 7TV Villains
Getting back to the 7TV Argonauts Kickstarter, I decide to paint one of the cooler looking sets of miniatures in the Kickstarter. That's how one must always choose what to work on, isn't it. The "Rule of Cool" must apply not only to in game decision making but also to other aspects of the hobby.... Continue Reading →
HeroQuest Project, Post 2: The Heroes
To start, my plan will not work. Original plan was to paint everything needed for the first Quest, play the quest, then move to the parts needed for the second Quest, play and repeat that pattern. It looks like the first Quest uses almost all of the miniatures. If I wait to paint everything I... Continue Reading →
Late 2020 Clean Up: Robo-Rodents
Didn't take long to paint, took longer to write this post than to paint these little guys. The Robo-Rodents are another of the models I got from the 7TV Argonaut Kickstarter. I'm not sure how often I will use these. The figures look good, but I got a whole mess of them with my pledge.... Continue Reading →
HeroQuest Project, Post 1
If you are not familiar with HeroQuest, why are you reading this? Not trying to be mean or rude. Just wondering what lead you to this blog and this post specifically if you didn't search for HeroQuest. You're here now so stick with it and learn a little about a game you are not likely...

Workbench Clean Up, End of 2020
To get ready for the projects I have planned (and those unplanned) for 2021, I have to clean off the old projects and get that tables cleared. My process for working on hobby tasks tends to have me looking at 3-4 serious projects at a time with many more partially done and probably never getting... Continue Reading →
7TV Christmas Special, Episode 2: Last Minute Gifts
SYNOPSIS Yeah, everyone waited to the last minute to get their Christmas shopping done. The casts are not likely to go shopping at any old store, though. Why go shopping with the great masses when you can find much better stuff in secret government laboratories? This episode sees a return to the Area 51 set,... Continue Reading →
7TV Christmas Special, Episode 1: Caroling
SYNOPSIS It's Christmas, or close enough to it that every store is decorated, each house is lit, and the halls are mostly decked. In an attempt to spread as much Christmas cheer as possible the casts have all decided to go caroling. This isn't about talent and this isn't about singing skill. It's about exposure...

7TV Christmas Special: Casts, Part 2
Two more casts to fill out the Christmas game. Really just an excuse to build casts for the Not a Santas I've painted over the years. Neither of these casts will be a surprise, at least not the figures. They've all been featured in recent posts. But this post will show the cast cards I... Continue Reading →
