15mm Norman Javelins

The sculpts are by Khurasan. They aren't bad, but the faces were a little rough. Definitely below the quality you'd expect from the rest of the Dark Age line that I've seen from them.

Also, I think I'll go open hand cast on them from now on. Not a ding on Khurasan as I knew going in what I was getting, but compared to the nice straight spears on my knights, these look like my front line is throwing wet spaghetti.

Little unhappy with the paint job, but its not bad for table top quality.

15mm/6mm Woods (WIP)

Good bye to green felt templates! I ended up with a scrap piece of 1/4" ply wood from some home remodeling. And while I had an urge to do some buildings for 15mm, I haven't been playing a lot of 15mm gaming lately. So, I decided that some woods would work for both 6mm (Dirtside 2 and Strike Legion) as well as 15mm sci fi or 15mm anceints gaming (ADG). I started by: Sketching out some rough circular shapes on the 1/4" ply Cutting them out with a jig saw. I didn't follow the lines exactly, just tried to keep near them Power sanded down the edges to give them a bit of a gradual slope Glued 3"(For 15mm) or 2" (for 6mm) around the edges, with one or two in the middle for support. I mostly left them open as these are for gaming, not for display. I need to fit the figures in there! This was done with liquid nails. I put about a pea worth of liquid nails down, pushed the nail in and gave it a bit of a twirl. Left me with the foll...

Ruined Terrain Work In Progress

For Christmas this year I received a pretty decent sized set of various filament printed terrain. In terms of presents, it was easy for family to acquire (Amazon is easier to navigate) and I didn't have to send them exactly what I was looking for. Unpainted Review The scale is generally 28mm or so. Some are a little smaller, some a little bigger. But nothing seems so crazy that I wouldn't put 32mm or 25mm on the table with them. I sized them up, but forgot to take pictures so will try to grab some at the end, with MESBG LoTR, Age of Sigmar, 40k, Highland Miniatures and Beastarium Minis. Nothing was so far out of scale that I wouldn't place them together. Almost no cleanup was required, just a few stray filament strands or print lines that didn't quite stick. Probably the whole set took 10 minutes of cleaning. Print lines are very noticeable on the rock ruins, but given that they are rocks, it didn't really bother me and I actually li...

FUBAR: Initial Impressions

In fairness, not quite initial impressions as I played many a moon ago. But its been so long, with so many other rule sets in between that I feel like I was playing anew. Opponent: Co-worker who apparently decided that he has too much time and money on his hands and miniatures gaming would be a good way to deal with all that. Not a power gamer/WAAC or rules lawyer which was good as this game definitely doesn't allow for that. Setup: As this was a beginner match, we kept it to 3 sections of five men (total of 15 miniatures) on each side. Each squad was rated as seasoned and armed with an infantry rifle. So, activating on a 4+, rolling one dice each and hitting on a 5+. The table played on was 6'x3', with us playing from the short edges (Long edges on the flank). Terrain was a mixture of what we had, but was medium density. Initially we rated the three woods as soft (Providing a +1 mod) and blocking LoS. Linear walls were rated as...
