Greetings! It feels like a million years since my last post and a lot has transpired in my time away. I got married, went back to school and got my degree, abandoned games, picked up new games, got more heavily into roleplaying games again and started an ebay business. Okay, I guess not that much has happened if you considers its be seven years since my last post, but still some significant events. I feel like enough has happened I'll probably do a followup post or two about those events.
I am going to make some changes to the blog. The primary change will be bi-weekly posts, possibly more depending on time constrains and life events getting in the way. I have changed the name of the blog because the focus will no longer be on miniature wargaming. I will also be talking about my adventures in roleplaying, terrain building and game design. I'm no expert in any of these things, but I think talking about my experiences, failures and successes will hopefully inspire others that doubt themselves as I sometimes do.
What have I been up to gaming-wise since my last post you say? Well let me start by talking about miniatures. I have sold off a number of my collections. Stuff that I have either never played or has fallen out of favor. What I have remaining is the following:
Warmaster - Orcs & Goblins, Dwarves, Empire and Chaos.
* no progress since my last warmaster post. here.
Full Thrust - Phalon, Kra'vak, FSE, ORC, UNSC fleets and civilian crafts.
* painted Kra'vak fleet. I also finished the storage for my fleets and I'll post something about that later on. Lastly, I finished the Full Impulse Chaos Campaign a couple years ago.. More on that later as well.
Battletech - 15th Dracon (Liao), 11th Legion of Vega (Kurita), Redjack Ryan (Pirates), Blackwidow Company (Merc).
* I created my first unit for a campaign I started for a local Battletech group. Still painting because I always go to far when I am making anything. Painting a regiment is daunting work. I have also built some terrain for Battletech so some of those will get a mention and others a full post.
Legends of the Old West - Outlaw, Lawman, Cowboy and Native Posses.
*I sold all my old west buildings a while back so I'll need to scratch build some or print some. Otherwise no progress.
Malifaux - Neverborn, Resurrectionist, Arcanist Crews.
*This is a lost cause to me. I had fun with it before my big move but no one plays it here that I have found and with the release of the 2nd edition i'm only getting further behind the curve as it were. But, I love the mechanics and so I have not yet given up on it. It is after all a game my wife has shown some interest in.
Crossfire - American, US Marine, German, Russian and Japanese Companies.
* no progress.
Alien Squad Leader (ASQL) - "Stargate System Lord", Alien Greys, "Harkonnen" Armies.
* no progress.
Frostgrave - Witch Warband.
*They are partially painted so that deserves its own post in time.
That catches you up on my recent work on miniatures. I'll go into a bit more detail as work progresses on these. My current focus is on Battletech so that will be my starting point next time I do a minis post. My next post, however, will be about what I have been working on with RPGs. So tune in next time, if that's your jam! Be safe out there!
