A brawl and brushwork

The Cape Cod Wargame Commission is in stretch of RPG sessions, specifically, The Curse of Strahd. Which means 1. there’s not a lot of dramatic tabletop photos, and 2. we’re all busy trying not to die. That said, after the WJW/’hardwired’ nonsense, I treated myself to a very keen, new GM screen from Dog Might […]

Latest brushwork

Spurred by lock down guilt and a Paint and Pledge challenge from Soren at Blood Beard’s Garage, I’ve been spending some of my quarantine time down in the game room, actually finishing projects. Bouncing between Sci Fi and Fantasy figs, my painting table is starting to clear up. I can actually see the surface. (it’s […]

Cinder King: Skraeling’s Fork

The ride back from the mines was subdued. Our heroes had succeeded at securing a supply of Black Powder but at a hefty price. The bodies of your fallen soldiers were carefully loaded into one of the carts for proper burial back at the camp, mostly out of respect and tradition, partly because you did […]

Miniature Monday

Another Monday and the tide of evil continues to roll in. Today’s war band consists of a creepy Necromancer who apparently still gets his hands dirty digging up his own material. (It’s hard to find good help these days. Apprentices sign on, think they can skip Cadaver Assembly and go straight to Reanimation. *tsk, tsk, […]

Miniature Monday

It’s Monday, time for more miniatures. Here’s another war band for the forces of darkness, led this time by a Tiefling Sorcerer. He’s backed up by a demonic barbarian, two hell knights, and a vampire assassin. This is a nasty crew in close quarters or on a crowded table where cover negates long ranged attacks. […]

Miniature Monday

Another Monday warband, Baddies this time. These guys never got named in our previous games and I’m fighting the urge to get alliterative right now and call them something like “Ruinwyrm’s Red Raiders” or “Cryptwail’s Crimson Company”. All Reaper, all metal, there’s a chunky, massively armored warrior with a commissar helmet on the left. Political […]

Miniature Monday

Another Monday, another Warband. This one a party of Dark Templars – heavily armored knights led by a fanatical Cleric who knows the righteous are only truly purified by fire and suffering. They are the righteous fist of the True Gods, delivering fury, wrath, and judgment to the heretic, the witch, and the blasphemer. All […]

Cinder King: Raid at the Barak Mines

Our heroes’ successes, moderate though they were, allowed the remnants of the Empires’ Army to gather and march north to the Long Road. This puts Sunstrider Camp as well as the Barrak Mines in reach. The first is a source of new recruits for the much reduced regiments. The second, the only known supply of […]

Miniature Monday

The fourth post highlighting some of our Fantasy warbands. Another group of Dungeon Delvers this week. Slight variation on the usual theme. Left to right there’s a Ranger type with sword and shield and a short bow. A War Priest, (kinda of a cleric-y paladin) a Druid-schooled Mage, a straight up Fighter, and a Skald, […]

Cinder King: The Giant’s House

The Cinder King is coming. Hordes of shambling undead, slavering ghouls, gibbering cultists, and reanimated skeletons mass on the west bank of the Tigeria, waiting for the enslaved survivors of Karlsberg to finish the barges needed for the crossing. Grotesque overseers spend these pitiful lives in lavish cruelty, whipping them to a feverish pace. The […]
