  • Warband “Sarcophagus”

    Warband “Sarcophagus”

    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…

  • The Halfling’s Brush

    The Halfling’s Brush

    I spent a lot of time today and over the last weekend, setting up and then using a new painting station. This allows me to record my paint efforts, and thru a bit of editing magic, turn them into hopefully useful tutorials and walk thrus. I am not a professional level painter, and frequently not…

    Old-school gaming

    Been pondering some new gaming options around our RPG efforts and considering a switch back from the electronic virtual tabletops and laptops. Foundry VTT is excellent, and has served very well for many years now, and the laptop setup is solid and reliable. Each week, we have several games with Pathfinder and Warhammer FRP that…

  • Episode 12 title slide

    Continuing my diorama style thumbnails for the Age of Ashes episodes, highlight some of the terrain and painted figures. Planning on adding a few of the group’s painting efforts, once I can hold on to them post game, but for now it is rather basic. This does however give me the opportunity to continue my…

  • A bit short for a stormtrooper

    A second Father’s Day acquisition, the family supplied me with the Princess Leia mini for Star Wars: Legion. This is good, since the collection has been heavily favoring the Empire recently and the Rebels really needed some reinforcements. Leia is of course a welcome addition, though admittedly the model is not the best. The face…

  • No good to me dead

    With the recent Father’s Day, my kids and family helped me expand the slowly growing Star Wars: Legion collection with a few of the heroes and villains. The first one is Boba Fett, feared bounty hunter, and addon for the Empire’s side. The model is nice, though perhaps a bit finicky – there are a…

  • Dragons

    In preparation for the upcoming Age of Ashes Pathfinder campaign, I decided I could use my 3d printer to create some of the big bads of the story. Of course, I don’t have any of the details yet, but I know the adventure includes several dragons, and at least one major red dragon. So I…

  • 3d Printed Minis

    Running some further experiments with 3d printed Miniatures for gaming. There are a number of online sites (most notable HeroForge), where custom minis can be designed thru a website. At the end, you can choose to have the figure professionally printed, or you can download the STL file for self-printing. However, since a home printer…
