The trouble with painting

I have recently been trying to paint the odd miniature and it has been a bit of a challenge. My hands are actually quite a bit worse than they were even a year ago. I can still paint but I really don't have the fine control I used to. So painting highlights and details are...

Conquest musings

One of the problems with how my brain works(?) is that I hop from project to project and game to game. For a while my ADHD medication made me utterly uninterested in any of the miniatures that I had. They were these odd things that I had and when we moved they were passed off...

Epic Warpath wishlist

I know that the game isn't even finished and there is still a fair distance to go before it is in our hands. That said, here are a few things that I would like to see included in the Epic Warpath rules. Aside from Marauders. Commands based on Leader level Currently the game has three...

Epic Warpath – What can you build?

So what can you build with the various releases in Epic Warpath and how do the armies compare with the types and numbers of units you can build? Based on the demo videos that have been show so far, infantry units are based on six units with the exception of Striders and tanks that are...

Warpath units

The Epic Warpath Kickstarter has launched and is already funded. As suspected, they have posted more photos of the miniatures that will be in the fore army boxes as well as some of the models that will be in the reinforcement packs. At launch there will be models for the Enforcers, Plague, Asterians and Forge...

What is Epic Warpath?

It was only a few months ago that I first heard about the Epic Warpath game. It is a 10mm large-scale wargame set in Mantic's Warpath sci-fi universe. Initially it looked like an opportunistic attempt by Mantic Games to ride on the coattails of the Legions Imperialis game from Games workshop. This appears to not...

Trying desperately to be a customer

Things used to be a lot less complicated. A company would put out a game and then you would go to a store and buy it. Sometimes the store would be out of stock and they would have to order the product in. Generally if the game was still supported and the company was still...

Legions Imperialis

Games Workshop recently released an 8mm miniature game, Legions Imperialis, set in the Horus Heresy setting. It pits forces of Loyalist and Traitor Marines, tanks, Titans and infantry against one another letting you refight the battles of the Horus Heresy. I am not exaggerating when I say that I have been waiting for the game...

Ready the Fleets!

When we moved from Calgary to Edmonton I got rid of almost all of my miniatures – painted and unpainted. The two exceptions were my fantasy naval miniatures and some of the 6/10mm Dystopian Wars figures I had. The former were a deliberate choice and the latter were because I couldn't meet up with a...

Springback Binder

Recently I managed to trade some games for a complete set of Commands & Colors: Napoleonic games. Seven boxes of blocks, terrain tiles, reference cards and rulebooks. It is quite a lot of gaming goodness and I did manage to get it all organised (a blog post for later) but I wanted to get all...
