A little progress on Ogres!
Despite only being a couple of posts ago, the pictures of the Ogres have been quite out of date for quite a while. I have made a ton of progress but it\’s been hard to organize things and get photos together. Now that I have the light tent. I am putting a lot more effort…

Gen Con 2016 – The Miniatures component
ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG It\’s finally arrived!… Am I sounding a little too excitable? Well let\’s rewind a bit. I enjoy taking photos of my miniatures, but I have always struggled with the quality of my images. Ever since I heard of light boxes I have debated buying one but with all the lights and bits…

GenCon 2016 – A First Timer\'s perspective
I have seen the nirvana of gaming and it is good. Last week, my girlfriend and I headed to Indianapolis to attend what the organizers modestly claim to be \”The Best Four Days in Gaming\”.

Misrepresenting the facts…
Well I was looking at my collection and I noticed that there were a few games that I was sure I hadn\’t played five times but I didn\’t recall being on my list. I took another look at the list of games I had. It turns out that I had made an erroneous assumption in…

Pathfinders
Wow, it\’s so much faster painting a single figure than a team. In a couple of hours, I have already managed to get one of these two almost fully painted up: I am a little annoyed at the Google Photo animator because these two gifs are made with the same number of slides and yet…

Amazons complete!
Well it\’s been a very long week… not least because I worked a five day week for the first time in a while! I did manage to get my Amazon team fully painted… not quite before playing my last game with them sadly as I had to step out of the post season due to…
