Cthulhu Pumpkin!

It's nearing All Hallows Eve and one of the folks over at the Yog Sothoth H.P. Lovecraft fan site has come up with a wonderful Cthulhu Pumpkin template!

I will add this to my to do list...

Hirst Arts molds for 3D Dungeon

Hello again,

I have been loaned a couple of Hirst Arts molds and I bought a 3rd to aid the 3D Dungeon project. Here are some photo's of the first set of casts.

Off out tonight for my brother in laws 21st so this post is short and sweet.

15mm Byzantines & Sassanid Persians

Greetings,

I have been working on some 15mm Byzantines & Sassanid Persians for the Field of Glory rules. The rules look very promising and everyone I know who's playing is using 15mm miniatures.

It's still early days and my 15mm painting skills leave a lot to be desired but I'm pleased enough with the first unit of Byzantine Psiloi that I have finished.




I also took a pic of a Sassanid elephant that I painted a couple of years ago.

Hot Night in Hells Kitchen, 1920's miniature skirmish game

Here are a few details and pictures of a participation game that I ran under the Table Top North banner at Q-Con 2008.

Rule system: Legends of the Old West

Synopsis: Hot Night in Hells Kitchen

A 1920's miniature skirmish game of Cops, Gangsters and something more sinister!

It's June 1928 in the New York district known locally as Hells Kitchen. Whilst most of the city is busy with commerce, industry and trying to get around the prohibition laws... Hells Kitchen is at boiling point. Mobsters are fighting a bloody turf war for control of the illegal drinking dens, bootlegging and vice trades. Whilst the New York Police Department are woefully undermanned and the scourge of corruption coming from the top is turning the Big Apple rotten. Are you ready to help the NYPD clean up the streets or perhaps create your own criminal empire in the Empire State?






I would like to make more buildings to fill up the table and also get a grey cloth that better represents the tarmac. That said we had a full complement and people seemed to have fun which is the most important thing. Thanks to Trevor at TTN for helping me run the game and making the warehouse.

3D Dungeon I

Table Top North (TTN) the gaming club that I attend weekly, puts on a 3D Dungeon game at the annual Q-Con gaming convention in Belfast. A few of us at TTN got talking about producing some more dungeon layouts, whilst looking for inspiration I found this thread on the Warseer Forums which had some really good looking 3D Dungeonage. I doubt I will be able to match that quality but that hasn't stopped me trying. Here are some photos of what I have done so far.

Revenge of the Seth...

Here is an Emmerdale and Star Wars Revenge of the Sith combo that I Photoshopped a while ago...


Much more sinister than the original!

The Summer House Project IV

Hi Folks,

I didn't get around to finishing the summer house for a while due to foul weather but I'm glad to say the structure did get finished. I still have to do some work on the inside and the decking but like the Death Star it's fully operational! Lets hope it doesn't get blown up!






Cheers Tony

Aztec game at Warfare Wargames Show - Reading 2007

Hello again

It's been a while so I thought that I get my backside in gear and upload more stuff... Here are a few Photos from Warfare Wargames Show - Reading 2007

I was particularly impressed by this Aztec Wargame:






Stunning eh!

We have almost finished the Summer House after a long break due the unseasonal (aka crap) weather.

The Summer House Project

I bought a water damaged summer house for the garden on the cheap! I just hope the wood isn't warped and I don't have to send it back!


Here are some photos of the progress so far:
