I have almost finished supporting casts for the four Not a Santas I have painted. Some were easy to assemble, others are still a frantic work in progress. All of them should make great crews to play a few Holiday Themed 7TV games. The problem, as always, is picking the right cast cards for the... Continue Reading →
In an earlier post I mentioned having found Grind, by Privateer Press, for cheap at my local Ollie's. Son2 already owns the game. I've seen/heard Son1 and Son2 play the game and I have no interest in it. But, the figures are slightly worse production quality versions of the big stompy robots from Warmachine and...

Frostgrave has been out and around for a fair few years, now. Very popular with expansions and lots of active support. So, of course I have avoided it. Maybe not consciously, but I never sought it out and didn't look into the rules. Looked good, but seemed very terrain heavy. The recent release of the... Continue Reading →
In my last post I showed off the Not a Santa for 2020. As a part of a Guild Ball set, specifically the Butchers Team, he came with some other figures. For 7TV, this will become the supporting cast and costars. Considering I spent only $10 for all of these, it was a bargain and... Continue Reading →
For the fourth year in a row, I have painted a Not a Santa. This started years back when I had a Reaper Necromancer miniature that was missing a hand and part of his staff. He just screamed "Angry Santa" and thus he became. The following year I found a similar miniature in my pile... Continue Reading →
As part of the Argonauts KS, Crooked Dice produces a background description and card for a character named Kronos. Unless I'm completely blind, they have not yet made a figure for Kronos. I can't let a little thing like the figure not existing prevent me from playing the character, however. What to do while I... Continue Reading →
What do you call a group of gladiators? There is a gaggle of geese, a murder of crows, and a... what of gladiators. I'm going with a mess. Seems right to me. I recently picked up a lot of gladiators and other figures. They were sold as Wargames Foundry in loose bags. Turns out, they... Continue Reading →
If one Talos is good, then two must be better. I bought the 7TV Talos and Argo models last year. They are made by Crooked Dice and at the time of purchase there were no rules for playing either figure in the 7TV 2d Ed rules. They are great miniatures and the lack of specific... Continue Reading →
Took some time to to play Blood & Plunder, piratey goodness is always fun. Hadn't played it in a while and I've been thinking about the rules. I've run this game often at wargame conventions and there is always one aspect that slowed things down; the unit activation rules. For one-on-one games the unit activation... Continue Reading →
It started simply enough. When I began painting those Hazmat troopers a few months back, I had originally intended to do a bright yellow and maroon color theme. But once I saw the paint on the figures, they quickly took shape with a McDonald's theme. Since then, I have added a few other things with... Continue Reading →
