Dice Superstitions…

Dice Superstitions:  Am I Really Gonna Start Believing This Crap? Apparently I Am…

Being a fairly educated guy and quite skeptical by nature, I’m not much for superstitions. Except for one. For whatever reason, it seems that my dice have something to say. Those little plastic bastards have an opinion (dare I say, some kind of ...

Soul Slave? Cull Souls? A fan that Blinds?  Razor Wurm? Someone at Privateer has been reading my dirty filthy Skorne-douchebaggery-hope-chest diary!

If I didn’t already love the Skorne so damn much, this would have done it. All you rage-quitting theorymachiners out there can start sending me your bargain basement Skorne offers right now!

Let’s talk for a moment about how freakin’ ...

Here are the next couple of models in my NorCal-inspired Skorne army; Master Tormentor Morghoul & a Cyclops Savage. Plus some better shots of the Krea and Zaal.

Bases have been left till later, as always.

Page 5, Soap, & the Manchurian Gamer.

In the wake of all the recent conspiracy-theory laced rambling on the Privateer forums, I’ve been thinking about something; is it possible that Matt Wilson & Co really do have a secret agenda of some kind? Beyond just making awesome games  and running the company? Is there something about Warmachine/Hordes that’s fiendishly designed to influence our behavior? ...

Cygnar Warcasters and a WIP Ironclad

A recent string of unfortunate trade attempts resulted in my playing Cygnar again, rather than starting my fancy new Protectorate of Menoth army.

(And apropos that, let me send out a big, heartfelt Fuck You to people who can’t grasp the concept that when you mail things, you shouldn’t endzone-spike a pile of heavy shit onto fragile models from 5 feet up, ...

Ulf’s Red Mercs: Part 2

Here are some more of the red merc army models.

The bases on most of these are still WIP. I hate doing the finishing steps on bases for some reason, so I always do them as the very last step, in a  big batch, when all the models are done.

Ulf’s Red Mercs; Part 1

I thought I’d post some of my red-themed Merc forces here. I did these originally as an add-on force to bring a Khador army up to 1000 points in Mk 1. The Khador part of the plan never really panned out, but the mercs looked good, so I stuck with the red scheme when I ...

Durn Kids! Get off my LGS’s lawn!

So I realized recently that I’ve been into this whole minatures hobby for a long-ass time. And for the first time, as it relates to my hobbies anyway, I felt old. 

Disclaimer: this gets a little rant-ish in the middle. If you are easily offended by humorous hyperbole, think the general use of the word “you” is ...

Villain Armies are the Best Armies.

I jotted down some thoughts on the topic of why people tend to play either primarily good-guy armies, or stick with mostly evil forces, and I thought I’d share them here. Here goes;

I have a hard time playing the good guys in sword-n-sorcery (or steampunk for that matter) games. Unless they’re the really hard-line, ultra-committed paladin ...
