Things are what you see in them. Star Wars to me is an escape from a mundane day to day life. A chance to see a world where the good guys win instead to being part of the evil empire of man that we live in now.

Some people like to watch soap operas. Some people like to watch horror movies and be scared. Some people like a bit of fantasy.

That…[Read more]

@limburger sorry for the late reply but I was out for a day and I didn’t want to log into the interwebs.  Quality time with my feet touching grass….etc.

To answer your question – on occasion and it depends.  Look at the new Xirkali.  The humans are still 20 men on a standard 100x80mm base.  The xirkali dogs are 8 on a 120x80mm large inf…[Read more]

Pledge: finish off the first mounted unit for the current army build

I was on the hype train of the first Kingdom Death KS and fell off past the year mark it took for delivery. I didn’t go in for the game and it was only models. I had hope for a KS from Titanforge Games and it was a back and forth issue for delivery that took about a year to iron…[Read more]

Done and dusted, this will be a year of completing multiple armies

Going to be a busy time painting wise. I have to finish off a flames of war army. I have been working on it all month so made good progress we should be finished worse case at the end of the month but ideally this week hopefully.

Once they are out of the way I have both a Witch Hunter warband for Mordhiem to start work on and a Soulblight…[Read more]

I’ve bought loads of stuff off Temu, although mostly modelling materials rather than miniatures, but there are some decent hard plastic miniatures carry cases on there.  I have bought a couple of 3D printed models, more to gauge the quality as much as anything.  I have never had any issues with orders arriving, in most cases they arrived much f…[Read more]

Pledge: paint at least a few hours this week. Simple and sweet.

Answer;

The only time I’ve fully bought into hype and then lost all interest on delivery was the Alien vs Predator miniatures game from Prodos. I backed the Kickstarter, which ended up being very poorly handled: long delays, funding issues, using later projects to fulfil earlier o…[Read more]

@limburger – If you truly believe the things I have listed are ‘conspiracy theories’, you must live in a very, very dark hole under a lot of rocks. Time to pull your head out of the sand and smell the coffee.

Far from ‘whining’ about GW, I am simply stating facts. While their business model was always very aggressive, it wasn’t always…[Read more]

@horatiOnoseblOwer – Star Wars is a typical Steven Spielberg production.

It’s sharks crawling into boats, it’s Spielberg’s grandma pointing at the sky saying that she wants to phone home, it’s a handful of plucky, wisecracking heroes taking down the Gigantic&Evil™ GermanWarMachine®.

In short, it’s complete agenda-ridden mind rot bs.

I mentioned a break @sundancer, but my comment was in the weekender.

It was more an observation. Just feels that modern wargaming in particular is in bad taste.

I know you’re not keen on politics which this borders on, so I’ll leave it at that.
