Revisiting the P3 Wet Palette

Some time ago, I wrote a post about the P3 wet palette, here. I had just started to use it and I thought it was one of the coolest tools on my paint table. Now that my excitement has died down just a bit, I thought I'd take another look at it and ...

A Tale of Two Sealants

I have spent months trying to find something I'm satisfied with, both product and process, and I've been bugging several friends several times over about how they seal their miniatures once they're finished painting them.You see, I was once a silly person who believed that Testor's Dull Kote was the perfect sealant. Many ...

It’s Cliché, but Third Time’s a Charm

It feels like I lose a lot of games, and it’s true. In this final week of our Call to Arms league, I tried playing Siege – the first time for me in Mark I games, and used him three different times. My first two, I lost to two Hordes armies: the first Skorne, and ...

Lancer Arm’s Strong

It's been a while since I've posted any completed pictures of paint jobs. And boy, there's nothing like some good close-up flash photography to reveal all those mistakes that I swear weren't there when I spent hours and hours going over it. =)Anyway, I mentioned a little while ago that (in addition to my trenchers) ...

This Game Rated PG-13…for Smoking

During the summer my wife and I get to catch up on some of our movie watching. I'm done teaching for the school year and my biological clock switches over to a more "normal" late hour (i.e. I don't fall asleep while watching the DVDs at night, wink, wink).One of our recent rentals was ...

Rise and Fall of the Gun Mages

My Cygnar force in this fourth week of our league looked considerably different from my usual list. That’s both good and bad. Good that I’m stretching my boundaries, trying to get comfortable with other list options. Bad that almost everything in my list has web-like synergies that extend to everything else in the list, ...

So that’s what a Trencher’s chest looks like…

As part of my summertime motivation to paint minis, I put all my trenchers out on the paint table. I'm not playing them until they're all done. I mistakenly finished my minimum unit and then moved on to other things. I should have painted them all at once. So I'm not just painting the ...

Burning Down the House

A long time ago, I went to a convention in Ohio (Origins) and found a table with wooden building and terrain kits on it. I bought some because they were offering some really good deals on the stuff. The company is called Flying Tricycle, and they still have a web presence here.I don't really ...

Heading back to Gencon

When Gencon 2009 rolls around in another month and a half or so, it will be somewhat of an anniversary for me, because last year at the beginning of August I decided to get out all the Cygnar models I had purchased and tucked away and really begin to play Warmachine in earnest. I ...

List Tactics: Stryker

I did something similar to this previously for the Mark II version of Siege in this post. Siege was going to be my warcaster of choice in the field test, as I had never used him in a game up to that point, and in fact I have not played him in any ...
