As I continue to struggle finding a routine method to update this website reliably, we continue to game and create content. Our next Mordheim battle report drops tomorrow, seeing a battle between George’s Ostland Mercenaries and my Dwarven Treasure Hunters. This battle was recording during our prior session, as the second of three battles played. It was a solid fight, the Dwarves were far more of a match for the Ostlanders compared to the steamroll against the Outlaws in the prior game. This was despite the Ostlanders being back to full strength, with prior casualties having recovered in time for…

It has been a while since I have posted, due to various issues. The most relevant has been an overall system crash on my primary computer, which ended up resetting a lot of my formats and templates. This didn’t impact the webserver as such, but certainly distracted me for some time. Fundamentally, there was (or is) an issue with a recent Windows 11 patch and existing controllers on m2 hard drives, which causes corruption or data failure. I managed to survive for a bit, but shortly after becoming aware of the issue, my computer decided to react negatively and die.…

Spent some time this last weekend catching up on some modeling, and tackled a bit of assemblies. A couple weeks ago I picked up a discount box of Star Wars Legion Range Troopers, and I had a Bolt Action M3 Grant Medium Tank that had been on pre-order for a couple of months. I recorded the assembly of both sets, hoping to put together painting and assembly videos in the future. For now, they join the armies of grey. I also spent a little bit of time in FreeCAD, and designed my own bases for the vehicles. Although I have…

Working on a new design, inspired by some options I saw online, to store and transport securely warband miniatures. For me, this means my Mordheim warbands, but any skirmish scale game would function. Basically, 10 to 20 models is the intent – beyond that and any storage system becomes rather unwieldy. For me, this means not only a place to store the miniatures, but also double as a display option. Ideally, the miniatures should be secure for transport, and when closed, provide protection all around, but still be able to view or identify the models. The result is a rectangular…

Based on some recent youtube guidance videos, and in an effort to constantly evolve and improve the channel, I am experimenting a bit with the thumbnails. Some of the theories indicate that simpler is better, avoid over-engineering the images, since it tends to cause them to be ignored rather than engaged. Based on that, I created a new layout for the thumbnail, for the battle report coming this week. Youtube allows both to be posted, and it will randomly show them to potential viewers, thus helping to define which format works best. Reviewing the following, let me know your thoughts.…

Our group takes a break from the adventuring to engage in a bit of sport hunting, dealing with several large creatures that have recently appeared in the lands east of Raventhorn. Challenged by Jamel, the owner and recent rebuilder of a hunting lodge, the group competes against several other hunter groups to track down and defeat a Wyvern, a Hydra, and a Kroot, along with any other unexpected nasties along the way. However, not all is as it appears, as a larger plot and threat begins to take root during the competition, something that could destablize the only recently peaceful…

We are kicking off a new series tomorrow, as part of our group’s efforts in Elite Dangerous. Over the last few months, I managed to acquire enough wealth to own and supply a fleet carrier, and it is now time to head out into deep space with the squadron, and search the unknown. No idea what we will find, except likely lots of lifeless planets and rocks, with perhaps a few signs of previous explorers. Perhaps a new mystery will be found, or we will just discover much in the name of science. The Erebus is currently docked in the…

Right before Gencon, we recorded a couple of new games, and then left for the convention. Now I am back, and the first of two battle reports is processed and posted today. This sees a shift in the war terrain, as we show off a new city-scape battle mat, with plenty of buildings, alleyways, and wide streets. We also welcome Evan to the channel, as a local player who was interested in guest-starring on the channel. Evan brings his Republic forces, and faces off against Andy’s Rebel Alliance. We treated this as a friendly training game, since both players wanted…
