I've painted a few things this year but I haven't posted pictures of them. These were mostly minis that were started in 2022 and completed more recently. Painting and building for Vlad's Army has taken up most of my hobby time. Those parts in still in progress, however, so no pictures yet. Maybe next week.... Continue Reading →
To truly play Vlad's Army, I need to have Dad's Army. I could not find the Bolt Action figures for DA at Historicon. And we looked. No one had them. Everyone knew what they were and remembered seeing or selling them, but no one had them ready for me to purchase. In October at Call... Continue Reading →
For my focus project this year I plan to paint and assemble everything I need for Vlad's Army. There are three episodes in the Feature Pack, each with a different set-up of terrain and miniatures required for the two casts. I may have some of the parts already, some I will have to make. The...

Still an odd year, 2022 was closer to normal. No lock-downs, no stay at home orders, and pretty much back in the office. Most of the COVID restrictions and effects were gone, so of course I got COVID back in May. Back to work, my hobby time was restricted more than the previous two years.... Continue Reading →
Playing through the Christmas Episode, we broke out the 7TV Fantasy rules that have been sitting unplayed and unloved. Son1 and I were on the side of Evil (or Misunderstood). Son2 and the Wife were the Good casts. A little creativity in the selection of the miniatures gets casts filled out using what I already... Continue Reading →
SYNOPSIS If you are going to do something, you have to do it right. And, nowadays if you don't do it right, don't sweat it. Someone will come along and tell you. This goes for everything in life. Why would Christmas be any different? Someone out there thinks that you are doing Christmas wrong. Those... Continue Reading →
At some point I will run out of steam on this "Not a Santa" thing. It was a good and semi-funny idea the first time. The second was similarly "inspired" but how long can it last? Here's year six and the it's time to branch out and try something a bit different. The previous five... Continue Reading →
Many games have changelings, but they all use them differently. For Silver bayonet, I'm not sure how the changeling will work into a scenario. For most games they would do exactly what you would expect. A changeling is sneaky. They are not deployed on the board as a changeling. They will start as something else... Continue Reading →
While kit-bashing up the revenants, there were a lot of spare parts. Obviously they are to be kept for other miniatures, but Son2 was working on some Romans for SPQR and I had time on my hands. A quick flip through the Silver Bayonet rule book is all it took to find the hobgoblin. Hobgoblins... Continue Reading →
Monsters may be a strong term . Not everything and everyone in Silver Bayonet is a monster or magical being. Some of them are just annoying people who don't want you to have a good or easy time. The game does include standard Napoleonic era soldiers and other belligerents, sure. But there are also ruffians,... Continue Reading →
