gotta love the fact that the every day pet parrot was bigger than a horse killing horses.

the Silver Cutlass

back when i bought the Silver Bayonet book i was anxious and excited to dive into it. and then bought a few plastic sets of British and French infantry. after some time the realization is set in painting military uniforms and such, i got kind of overwhelmed and somewhat lost interest in it. but recently i joined the official Silver Bayonet facebook page, i was getting an itch back in myself of giving it another go. then i read a post someone wrote about instead of using napoleonic miniatures would it be ok to use pirate figures instead. after many people were saying that's an idea i thought about it myself. and thought that would be  a great idea. i figured it would be different and easier to paint. and like usual this puts more on the list of things to paint and get done, in addition to the MotU figures to paint, the wild west Perilous Tales plus terrain, and now what ever comes out of this pirate project.    first i got myself the two player starter box set. mainly for ...

black puddings: fat free and fun to make

i always wanted to put on the table ooze monsters and such but the miniatures from Wizkids only came in one size and style. so i went looking for some tutorials on how to scratch built ones. i looked on Youtube for any instructional videos and as usual i end up on DM Scotty's channel called TheDMsCraft. click to view video.   the only thing i did differently is i used regular hot glue, spray painted it with a black and then few coats of gloss Mod Podge. in Dungeons and Dragons if a ooze or pudding is struck down by certain weapons or damaged by particular types of magic spells, they will split into smaller versions of itself. one large ooze will split into two medium size pile of ooze. if one medium size is damaged it also will split into 2 small versions. i made enough to a large size black pudding is able to split into the correct amount of puddings down to the smallest form.   group of adventurers is ambushed by a fairly large black pudding.   after some time fighting ...

Recovering Artifacts

 today is my girlfriend's birthday. and so i thought it would be nice to host a game to where she and her boys would team up and play as a recovering team that landed on a deserted ship to find artifacts. four teams of three would scour the ship for these items. each item recovered is worth victory points, but the main victory is to survive and escape the ship with the artifacts. i used a modified version of Fistful of Lead for a rule set. with all the excitement and having too much fun and didn't think of taking a lot of pics. but with what pics that were taken, they were taken by Rita, i think she does a better job at it than me. the recovering teams arrive on a elevator. i wanted to have these teams to find the artifacts but have some kind of a resistance. i used the game mechanic of blip markers from the Space Hulk game. i did this because of the shock factor it produces when revealed how many aliens are incoming and the faces of Rita's boys' faces is priceless.
