What I thought of Frontlines: Fuel Of War

Frontlines: Fuel Of War is a 2008 game that combines the premise of Battlefield gameplay with the then futuristic aesthetic games like Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter. I played through its entire campaign, on normal difficulty to see if it was worth revisiting. Right off the bat the game began with a cutscene inside of a…More

What I thought of Homefront

Homefront is a 2011 shooter made by Kaos Studios. I played through the whole campaign on normal difficulty on PC so you don’t have to.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

Here’s what I thought of The Outer Worlds

I played the Steam version of the base game, with no DLC. I did not play the Spacer’s Choice “remaster” as it has a reputation for being broken and poorly put together. I played the game to completion on normal difficulty, completing most of the side quests, spending time with all my companions, and trying…More

Here’s what I thought of Lords Of The Realm 2

Lords Of The Realm 2 is my gaming equivalent of comfort food. It might not have awards or hype buzzing around it, but it is always the perfect choice for a rainy day when I’m feeling restless. I’ve played and replayed it many times. Currently I own it on Steam. The game was developed by…More

What I thought of Grant, Lee, Sherman: Civil War Generals 2

I have spent about a total of ten hours playing Grant, Lee, Sherman: Civil War Generals 2 (which for my own sanity will be referred to as “CW2” from here on out), which is not nearly enough time to become an expert, but I have managed to scratch a little bit into the surface. Originally…More

Painting Competition

The entries for Lemmy.world’s first Warhammer 40k painting competition are in. If you’re reading this in September of 2023, you are invited to vote on the best paintjob at this link, after looking at the entries. The first model is an ork warboss, offered up by Doctor_Spork. A polar opposite to the ork hoards is…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

Exo-suit troopers by GillyMonster18

Exo-suits are fantastic additions to a setting that wants something beefier than traditional armored vests, but not as heavy as full on power armor. The exo-suits have a unique aesthetic that make them well fitting in everything from a cyberpunk setting, to the grimdark of 40k. More
