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 […]

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 […]

Cinder King: Fire on Wael’s Bluff

General Montsigaard is tight-lipped with pain, seated in a folding chair in the command tent. A crisp new uniform accents his drawn face and three days of patchy gray stubble. Blood still seeps through his bandages. The General’s tent buzzes with a constant flow of dispatch runners who stumble in and out, vacant-eyed with exhaustion. […]

Chechen Wars 28mm Kickstarter

Kickstarter… Yeah I know. Great idea – not always the best experience. Incessant delays, poor communications, long-winded excuses, sub- par products, partial fulfillment… I’m 50/50 Good to Bad projects over the past five years. And lately, I’ve given up altogether. It’s just not worth the hassle. Sure, nice figs/game/terrain but I’ll wait until they’re available […]

Another Zona Perestrelki crew

The 4th of July weekend is upon us so this is a short post. Another squad for ZP. I painted up five more Eureka Soviets with Pig Iron heads. A simple modification that’s easy and works well to provide loads of appropriate looking Zone denizens is no time. This squad can be unaffiliated STALKERS, a […]

Cyberpunk Hero by HeroForge.

HeroForge custom miniatures is a very cool service offering a very cool product. Even an old metal snob like me has to admit 3D printing is the future of mini-wargaming, and with the detail, variety, and dynamic poses available, it’s hard to resist the urge to design a one-of-a-kind fig. So… I succumbed to temptation and […]

Post-Apoc figs for Sale

Hi. Hope this finds you well and winning all your games. Time for me to cull the herd. My wife will be traveling to India in February to work at an orphanage in Hyderabad. (Really. Here’s the place.) She’ll be gone ten days, during which I will more than likely eat lots of take-out, paint […]
