Battletech battle of Antietam

On the forenoon of the 15th, the blue armor panels of the Federal mechs appeared among the trees that crowned the heights on the eastern bank of the Antietam. The number increased, and larger and larger grew the field of the blue until it seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see, and from the tops of the mountains down to the edges of the stream gathered the great army.More

A sampling of classic Rogue Trader space marine miniatures

A hobbiest reached out to me with a trove of collected material, which included a folder filled with Rogue Trader era space marines. The contents are just too good not to post. I have tried to track down sources for the work as best as possible. First up is a ‘Brother Craig’ model painted in…More

My games: Space Hulk game quick pictures

This isn’t quite a full battle report, but I still wanted to share some pictures snapped of a Space Hupk game. Usually I don’t field partially painted models, but I make an exception when somebody wants to play my favorite game about nightmare boarding action combat. We played the first mission of the third edition.…More

My Project: Battletech classic pewter Locust

Another quick showcase of what I’ve been up to. I was gifted a classic pewter Battletech Locust mech. It was missing its side machineguns but I looked around in my bitz box and found some bitz that looked the part. Radio backpacks off of Wargames Atlantic Death Fields troopers. I glued them on and hoped…More

My Project: A Battletech Awesome

I realized that I’ve been lapsed in post my own projects here. Be assured, I’ve been painting up a storm in 2023, and no end in sight for 2024. Here’s a quickie of a Battletech Awesome in boisterous yellow! Not a ton of text, but I hope everybody thinks it is as neat as I…More

The miniature photography of Benjamin Wendt

I came across a series of pictures that aside from having well painted figures as their subject, were impressive as photographs. I reached out to ask about how the photos were taken, and as a reply received a fully formed article. I’ve decided to post the article, written and prepared by Benjamin Wendt, below. If…More

Battle for Newport Epic campaign part 1

Epic is a game system that is perfect for representing the massive scale of combat in Warhammer 40,000. Marcus Machiavelli has taken full advantage of that with a multi-part, planet wide Epic campaign. His battlefields are full of custom crafted explosions, smoke effects, and terrain (which will be given a closer look in a separate…More

Feudal Imperial Guard by meeveshobby

Regiments of the Imperial Guard come from a huge variety of worlds. The variety in cultures and technology make them an open opportunity for custom thematic conversions. Meeveshobby is working on a regiment that hails from a feudal world, and the results have been very eye catching. The basic troops are made with a combination…More

Scratch built wandering robot

A quick spur of the moment project I put together with some bits. As often is the case, Final Faction toys from the dollar store came in handy. In this case legs off of a missile launching mech. I envisioned a bipedal machine, and after digging around more I found a Robotech battlepod that I’d…More
