Along with the Not a Santa for 2023, I decided to paint up a few holiday colored cultists. These cultists are Frostgrave Cultists from North Star Military Figures. This box has provided many great bits for WWII zombies and Napoleon era shambling dead. But the actual cultists are great, too. Christmas colors of red, green, and white work... Continue Reading →
I have the miniatures for a lot of pulp action but no police officers. Many pulp games require police and I had a glaring lack thereof. Easy to fix. There are a number of different police miniatures out there to chose from. As no one was kind enough to sell any dirt cheap at a flea market, swap... Continue Reading →
Son2 and I played through this Episode back in June or July. Pictures were taken, fun was had, but some of the details of the game are a little fuzzy these months after. No matter. The pictures are the interesting part, right? After working hard the first half of 2023 to get the terrain ready, the board was... Continue Reading →
Tradition! Year number seven of taking a miniature that is not meant to be Ole Saint Nick, which kinda looks like Ole Saint Nick, and painting it like... well... you get the pattern here. To say that I was spoiled for choices this year is an understatement. Two or three years back I was having... Continue Reading →
Episode One saw the vile and villainous Nazi vampires secure a landing zone and a toe hold in the English countryside. The stalwart, though tired defenders tried their best, but were utterly wiped out. Episode Two opens on a quaint town and train station. The Nazi invaders are trying to board the train, the better...

Casts painted, terrain assembled, table prepared, and rules read. Now all that's left is to play. We start at the beginning, because it's a... you know the line. Son2 and I had some time off together a few weeks back and we played all three Episodes of Vlad's Army in the span of five days.... Continue Reading →
Miniatures are painted. Terrain is assembled and ready. How does it all come together? This is the first time I've done a project like this. Usually for any miniatures game I play the board is whatever I make it. Plonk down whatever buildings and other features make sense and you are good to go. Different... Continue Reading →
Taking a few month's off from blogging helps to form a significant backup of possible things to write about. My hobying hands were not idle during those months, just no time for typing. I my last post I wrote about all of the terrain I painted for 02 Hundered Hours for a firend. It was... Continue Reading →
There was a bit of a pause in my blogging for a while there. Things at work were stressful and hectic; life gets in the way. But hobbying continued. In fact, I was quite productive, just didn't get posts written about it. Most of the time has been spent readying terrain. I made a deal... Continue Reading →
It took a while to get here. Clearly shipped on the Demeter herself with tales to tell of the dangerous passing. But the 7TV Dracula Kickstarter has arrived. Time for a little unboxing. First, a comment on the total package. Given the shipping costs and time to arrive, I really expected it to be packed... Continue Reading →
