 a few weeks ago i converted a spare Rokkon figure into another Comet Warrior character. the reason for this was i ended reading several posts on Battle Ram Blog.com and noticed in a picture, Comet Warriors i was not familiar with. so i did some digging and couldn't find anything but i made the figure anyways and was going to give him a name of my own. when i painted the figure i kept the green that you see on his head but take some creative liberty and made the rest of the body kind of like i did with my other Comet Warriors.. now just a day or so ago i was messing around on Pinterest and found the following image of an unofficial bio pic and saw it had the same art from the old comic that i originally saw a while back. the name they gave him was Bouldron so even though this isn't official, this'll be the name i will label my miniature. and the way the color scheme they used for this character is mainly all green, i might go back and repaint my figure just to give the char...

 yet another round of characters but this time i found these on Etsy, and i have to say these were printed fairly well. i have been eyeing these for some time and i finally cracked and ordered them. once i got them i was anxious and impressed. i do get somewhat worrisome when it comes to ordering 3-d printed figures.  ModestMinisStudio  is the Etsy store i ordered these characters from. not too keen on the material they use to create the figures but it'll have to do. at least i was able to get a hold of these characters for my collection. these are 32mm, which i have learned with the CMON Clash of Eternia miniatures the scaling of these figures do somewhat differ from one another. so when i went to order these i was a little scared that they wouldn't fit with the others, but it works. Rio Blast. Jitsu. Draego-Man. not going to lie this is my favorite figure so far. when i was able to purchase Multi-Bot i also had the option of getting him in single figures. with so much i...

 another round of MotU miniatures and this time really miscellaneous characters. these characters i found in either the Masters of the Universe character guide and world compendium from Dark Horse Comics, that my wonderful girlfriend got me a few years back, or on Battle Ram Blog.com . since i painted up an Anti He-Man, it was only given he needed an Anti Battle Cat. and since i read there was to my knowledge an Anti Man-at-Arms and an Anti Orko, i painted up those since i had spare figures on hand. Anti Battle Cat. Anti Man-at-Arms and Anti Orko. after reading some articles on Battle Ram Blog i came across some interesting facts, and thought it would be interesting to see these on the tabletop and in game. Beast Man from concept art using an alternate color scheme.  "evil" Stratos, with a slight minor color difference. alternate "heroic" Mer-Man, also with some minor color difference. another member of the Rock People, i've seen artwork from a comic of rock peo...

 recently i've taken a break from all things related to the hobby. sometime ago i had several MotU miniatures painted but not based and finished, but i managed to get those and several more completed before i went on vacation last week. during my hobby break i came across an interesting facebook page and website, Battle Ram Blog.com , where it dives into the background stories of the Masters of the Universe toy production and published books throughout the world. which i find fascinating one story could be different or slightly changed from one country to another. i did have the Great Rebellion faction next to be painted but with my hobby hiatus, i did some miscellaneous characters and even some odd ball characters that either came from fairly recent toy lines or just cool concept ideas/artwork. Slamurai. Shadow Beasts. more Eternian Guards. Golden Rod, a concept character created for the Snake Men. could not find much more info on the robot but it was too cool not to create. Teela...

going into Historicon 2025 i had a very small grocery list of what i really wanted and what i needed. and as usual i did spend a little too much than i was budgeting but hell don't we all go a little overboard from time to time. got Rita a box of soldiers for her spanish pirate hunters. probably going to mix the sailor plastic bits with this set for the swords and pistols. found this fellow in a miscellaneous figure dump bin. saw him and thought this would be a perfect figure for a half-ogre we created in our D&D story. Zug-Zug, the friendly half-ogre that works in a tavern and is half intelligent, at least enough to add simple numbers and pour ale.  i saw this, the package said "demonic goat" and i bought it. enough said. another idol of Cthulhu. you can never have enough statues of the Elder Ones! Rita got me this because she knew i wanted to redo or even add more to my pulp collection, also they have german shepards. haha. now i can add dogs to my pulp games. more ...

 i began my vacation last weekend and to end it i spent this weekend with a pretty woman at an awesome gaming convention. the annual HMGS Historicon convention was in town and i basically scheduled my vacation around this event. made sure my bills were paid and everything in line because i had a feeling i was going to spend a little green on some cool things. i never register to play any games because i just want to take in the atmosphere. and half the time i take an interest in a game and i am offered a spot at the table. we didn't take as many pics as we did last year, we were just having too much fun taking it all in. and this time i told Rita to be in charge of the camera. i might not be able to give a caption to some of the pics because i most likely wasn't with her when she took them. main lobby set-ups. we met many friendly people running the games and funny as hell salesmen in the dealer's room. i almost walked away buying a life-sized boltgun from Warhammer 40k. a ...

for some time now i've been writing stats for Space Weirdos using the Masters of the Universe miniatures i have been collecting from CMON's Clash of Eternia board game. i wrote some stat blocks for MotU for Fistful of Lead, but using Space Weirdos seems to fit them the best. spending the good part of my vacation just relaxing i finally pulled out some figures and play tested some of the stats i wrote. after a few turns i have to go back and redo some numbers. but overall it was fun. i only played a few turns solo and i have to say playing solo kinda sucks sometimes because i forget some solo mechanics. maybe hopefully this weekend i can get Rita to play a game or two after the convention. Whiplash charged in without caution and dueled Fisto for a bit until becoming victorious. Stratos was challenged by Clawful and Ninjor. Stratos disengaged, while Man-E-Faces opened fire on the evil villains, taking out Clawful and wounding Ninjor. while Trap Jaw was opening fire on the heroic ...
