It has been over a month since my last post. Couple of reasons for this. Firstly, I’ve had a few issues with my computer, which, by the fact that I’m writing this, you can see I’ve managed to sort. Secondly, I’ve spent several hours playing a particular game in order to write a review (hurrah!).
Creeping from room to room, trying not to make the slightest noise, I made my way towards the cockpit. The tension filled the air. My shipmate was on the opposite side of the ship, we’d split up long before and that was good, because I had my own agenda and I didn’t trust her anyway. … Continue readin
One of Yasmin’s Asgardians and an easy paint for me, as I just followed what I did for Thor… more or less! Primed Black and the dry-brushed all over with Pale Grey Blue and then White… I think you know what’s coming next? Yep, Black Lotus Xpress paint, a layer all over followed by another …
Sat on my shelf for over a year, gathering dust and sticking its tongue out at me in disgust, as I have continually failed to give Age of Comics any recognition in that time. Finally, I managed to get a game or two in, enough to put some first impressions down in writing, and so … Continue reading First Thoughts
Get the flags out. Hoot your horn, Give me a big round of applause… I’ve finally painted another unit for Bolt Action! Volkssturm! The old, the young, and the unfit. The scrapings from the bottom of the barrel. I thought I’d start my journey of painting the German forces with something a little more i
As I’ve mentioned before, I’m experimenting with speed/contrast/Xpress paints, call them what you will, in order to try and increase my output of minis, and I thought this would be a good point to show you two of the main methods I’ve been using. Speed paints are designed to be used over a coat of 
Not a very productive year, 2025, certainly not from a hobby perspective anyway. Fourteen posts was all I managed, which to be honest, was probably close to the number of games I actually played too. With my daughter and gaming buddy, Yasmin, now well into her second year of university, I’ve not really adjusted b
Let’s start by saying just how much I dislike painting Spider people. I hate it! That suit drives me crazy… so much and yet so little detail. I think this is the third or fourth I’ve done now and I kept putting him off, and putting him off. Well, I finally decided to crack on … Continue reading
Painting has been a bit sporadic over the last few months and the couple of things I’ve completed have been done in a hurry, of which Toad here was the first. Pretty simple with just two main colours, one of which is an Xpress paint (Imperial Yellow). Interestingly, the Ultramarine blue I used was highlighted 
Okay, let’s cut straight to the chase and admit that I really, really like this game. ‘It floats my boat’, or, maybe, ‘sends my rocket into space’ would be a more apt phrase. I played a game and a half, the half being abandoned because we didn’t have enough time to finish and a week
I’m not a bad loser. The only people I ever get mad at when I lose are myself and cheats. Cheats could be the subject of a whole other post but getting mad at myself, well, that’s probably because I should have done better! I know when I’ve made mistakes – I’m quite honest with … Con
