another crazy night with the lady and her boys. after having a successful game of Fistful of Lead figured this time Galactic Heroes with a touch of Heroquest using my Wizard of the Coast Star Wars figures. great game with all the usual element of a Star Wars story. heroism, adventure and betrayal. i always love Heroquest and since i don't play with my Space Hulk game as much as I like to, i do put the tiles in good use. recently i have been using them for floor plans of an underground bunker or facility with my Star Wars figures. which in my opinion are the perfect size and such. i don't count the squares or use a measuring tool for movement. and for weapon ranges pretty much is in range because we are in compact spaces, the most a weapon's range would be depending how long and straight a corridor would be...anywhere from few inches to maybe 12inches.  the band of Republic agents has come across a fallen Jedi and some hired guns..  up to this point, ...

Khorne Berzerkers are Chaos Space Marines dedicated to glorifying the Chaos God Khorne through brutal melee combat. Driven solely by their raging desire to spill blood and take lives, a Berzerker's sole purpose in life is to destroy their enemies in the name of the Blood God and take life in the most brutal and barbaric fashion imaginable. Unlike the Death Guard or the Thousand Sons, there isn't much to a organization within the XII th Legion after the Horus Heresy. But like every Legion, there was a dedicated group of elite warriors within the Legion. In the World Eaters there was the Devourers. But following the end of the Horus Heresy, the World Eaters Legion consumed itself in a bitter internecine conflict that saw it fractured into countless smaller Chaos Space Marine warbands during the Battle of Skalathrax, which had been instigated by Khârn, the former Equerry of Angron and now a dedicated Khornate Berserker. In the wake of the XII th Legion's fract...

not talking about Six Feet Under's cover album.. which was kinda okay if you like deathmetal versions of AC/DC, Deep Purple or Dead Kennedys. this was the first time i had my girlfriend and one of her boys to play a game of Fistful of Lead from Wiley Games. havent cleaned up from the other game i was messing around with but this time, i threw in the graveyard pieces i got from Easter from a good friend. haven't gotten around to painting the pieces but i wanted to see what it would look like with my desert terrain.  originally i was gonna gamemaster it and my girlfriend and two of her boys were gonna play and i was teach them how to play.  really excited to start painting this pieces. just need to decide how i wanna have the color scheme to be. well into the game, at one point her youngest kinda didn't have interest in the game, tabletop gaming isn't everyone's cup of tea i reckon. so we decided the Chaotic Snake Men ...

A Chaos Terminator is a Veteran Chaos Space Marine who wears a suit of Tactical Dreadnought Armour and serves as one of the Traitor Legions' most powerful infantry shock troops. Sundered and cast out from the Imperium of Man, having turned their backs on the Emperor of Mankind, the Chaos Space Marines of the Traitor Legions know that there can be no peace for them, no forgiveness nor absolution. They are wholly committed to the path of damnation that they have trod for 10,000 standard years, for good or ill. the Chaos Space Marine Terminators are treated like their Imperium counterparts, with the exception to their weapon choices. this is also written as the Chaos Space Marine Terminators are searching for weapons cache on board an abandoned ship, or simply looking for more souls for their ruinous gods to devour, but instead come into contact with the vile Tyranids...   Rapid Fire : when firing a weapon that has the Rapid Fire special rule and double six’s ar...

after getting a majority of my fantasy miniatures painted i wanted to play around with my Fistful of Lead rules in anticipation for a fantasy based rulebook that is in the works. so i used the core FFoL rulebook but since i wanted to have a mage in the one group, i went and used the psionic powers from the FFoL: Galactic Heroes rules. layout of the table. four teasure chests in a triangle formation towards the center of the table, with one in the center of the gaming area.  group of Lizardmen  band of adventurers looking for priceless relics. led by the sorceress Meabh.  brood of chaotic Snakemen.  Snakemen taken a treasure chest.  the adventurers had come across one of their own.  Lizardmen advance, but the sorceress using her Push spell and sends the cold bloods back.  Baron Guillotin captures a chest for his group, while the others create a stronghold to secure the loot they have collec...

after i finished my icy blue snakes i put together whatever i had left of the Ghost Archipelago: Snake Men plastic box sets. eight full body snake men miniatures were left. with this time around i wanted to expand my paint palette with, instead of using dark colors like normal i went with lighter shades. a friend Nick suggested i do a pink color. i kinda sneered at the idea, but then why not. it would be fun and unusual for me to do this kind of color scheme for any fantasy miniatures in my collection.  my first one completed, figured this fellow would be the leader. i clipped the bow from his left hand and attached a shield to it, and glued the ends of the bow to the shoulder/back area of his torso, to give it an appearance of a trophy rack or part of his armor.  spray painted a base coat of Krylon Flat White, then thinned down with water a mixture of Apple Barrel #20403 White and #21469E Flag Red, to make a shade of pink ...

so eager to start playing Frostgrave, i took the spare Ghost Archipelago Snake Men plastics and put them together and painted them to they are kinda frost and icy. i guess a little more cold blooded than normal. my wizard wielding a spear with the spear head clipped off and glued on the top little aquarium pebbles to give it a more primitive feel.   repeated the same process with my apprentice as i did with my wizard. with the staff and the glued pebbles.   an angry snakemen thug waiting for his payment.. went with a light blue base color and then water downed darker blue wash. then used different shades of brown for leather armor and such. still have several more to complete this warband. will post pics once they are finished, then it will be off to the last of the Snake Men plastics and i created a generic group of snake men but haven't decided on a color scheme. more to come with that small project.

spearheading through the home brewed Grey Knights rules for Space Hulk, i decided to go back and do the Inquisitors. with the Inquisitors i wanted to create some kind of life into these characters. by not going into great details and making them complicated, i wanted to have the three different types of agents from the Inquisition: Ordo Hereticus (Witch Hunters, Order of the Heretics, the Enemy Within) Ordo Xenos (Alien Hunters, Order of the Aliens, the Enemy Without) Ordo Malleus (Daemon Hunters, Order of the Hammer, the Enemy Beyond) the one thing i wanted was to have the Inquisitor to work just like the Librarian is in the rulebook, with just a few minor changes.  but with these added changes will go along with the future homebrew rules i want to create. i want to do Chaos Cultist faction, similar to what the Genestealer Cult is that was featured in the White Dwarf Dec. 2017 issue. Ordo Hereticus The Ordo Hereticus is one of the three major orders...
