Last weekend, I started a Warmachine Journeyman league at my local shop, The Rogue’s Roost. This is a bit of new ground for me, as I’ve not done any kind of competitive Warmachine play in the past, but I’m hoping that it’s casual enough for my tastes. To start, I’ve decided I’m going to take a shot at running the Rhulic Mercenaries starter list. Continue reading Warmachine Journeyman

Fully Painted Aquan Armada
Last weekend, I was able to complete one of the projects on my 2016 goals list – I painted all of my Aquan Prime ships for Firestorm Armada. It’s been a very fun project, and I’m glad to have it finally completed.

Anno 2070 – More Spreadsheets!
I’ve been playing a fair amount of Anno 2070 recently. When I first started playing this game, I tried to play it like a city builder; I tried to create an island that was balanced in its production and consumption to minimize transport of good over long distances. Needless to say, my early attempts were a jumbled mess and while they had reached a level of stability, any growth beyond engineers was quite impossible.
After doing some digging online, I had a revelation – I wasn’t playing a city builder, I was playing a game about commodity transport. Continue reading Anno 2070 – More Spreadsheets!
What hunting was like before Supernatural
I happened to be looking through some of my old files the other day, and I found these old commercials for the Hunter: The Reckoning game for the X-BOX.
On the one hand, this game came out in 2002 for the XBOX, which makes me think that console generations are a lot more spread out than they seem. On the other hand, this game came out 14 years ago, which is a bit frightening because the trailers are very hard to find on youtube (in fact, I couldn’t find the judgement one at all).
Dice Boxes
Whenever I’m at Hobby Lobby, I take a walk through the wooden box section and see if anything really catches my eye. I personally have no woodworking skills or experience, but my father was a magician when it comes to wood stuff, and I’ve seen lots of other people do some pretty amazing things from plain beginnings. A couple of months ago, I found a wooden hinged box that I somehow imagined I could make into a decent looking dice box. So, with my brother’s graduation and cousin’s birthday upcoming, I thought I would give it a shot.
A couple of pictures of the finished products after the jump. Continue reading Dice Boxes
Imperial Knight Assembled
For Christmas this year, the family that I play Warhammer 40k with every year (Cody, Ian, and uncle Clayton) pitched together to get me an Imperial Knight kit. As the epitome of the walker, this has been on my list for a while, but I’ve never managed to pull the trigger. Getting one from these guys though, was exceptionally special, and was pretty amazing. So… …I managed to get it built, and there is one big picture after the jump. Continue reading Imperial Knight Assembled
Leeman Russ Unbound
You didn’t actually think I’d work on painting the Wulfen Guard without also painting Leeman Russ did you? This is my second shot at designing, building, and painting a Leeman Russ model, and while his rules aren’t done yet, I’m happy with how the rest turned out.
As usual, pictures after the jump. Continue reading Leeman Russ Unbound
Dune Progress
I have lately been making a fair amount of progress on my copy of the Dune board game. The Spice Harvest components are complete (though not printed), and I have lately been spending most of my time on The Duel board. Continue reading Dune Progress
The Wulfen Guard
Once I got the basic Kingdom Death: Monster stuff ready to go for my game at the shop, it was time to break out my paints and do some painting for my Thanksgiving Warhammer 40K army. Specifically, I recently added three new werewolves to Leeman Russ’s Wulfen Guard unit, so I wanted to get them painted up and looking sharp.
Pictures of the full unit after the jump. Continue reading The Wulfen Guard
Kingdom Death: Dragon King
When I was thinking about the posts that I might make over the course of 2016, I didn’t really plan on this blog becoming a Kingdom Death: Monster blog. But, I’ve got one more (for now) set of monster pictures to post. This is the last of the monsters that we’re fighting for the shop settlement, and, since it was the Dragon King, I wanted to go ahead and put together the other models that came on the main sprue – the Dragon King in human form and the Dragon People (for the Dragon King campaign).
As usual, pictures after the jump. Continue reading Kingdom Death: Dragon King
