Its Been Awhile

 After had not posting anything for awhile, I figure it would be time to jump back on the wagon.  So for the first post of 2023, here's a wagon!

You will see more posts regarding Dungeons and Dragons since returning to the game in 5th edition. Taking on the role of DM once again, I can fill my adventures with miniatures and terrain as I never had that luxury when I played in the 80's.  Hopefully I can give you some tips and tricks that you can use in running your own games.

No Mess Basing

So we've all had to base our minis.  The easiest is slopping some glue on the base and dunking it in a tub of our favorite basing material.  But what about the excess?  Usually, you'll end up with this:

Even if you use a tub or box that is big enough to fit your mini, you'll still have to empty it back into the original container.  And its usually smaller than the other containers.  So what can you do without making a mess?

Try using one of these.  I picked this up from Michaels in the jewelry section.  Its for rhinestones and other materials that you don't want to get all over the place.  Perfect for basing material.  
Just base your mini like you'd normally would.  Put it in the tray and shake off the excess.  Remove the plug at the end and just pour it into your container.
It just that easy.  And it costs less than $5!

Age of Sigmar: Quarantine Edition

Since we're stuck indoors, I figured we should play more table top games instead of being stuck in front of the TV.

Using the Mighty Empire campaign tiles, the boys and I created our map.

Red: Blades of Khorne, Yellow: Stormcast Eternals, Green: Seraphon
The next step was the first battle: Blades of Khorne vs Stormcast Eternals.

The battle was intense.  It appeared the Khornate army would overwhelm the Eternals, but a few casualties and poor battleshock tests, the Stormcast Eternals were able to take the field.

The victory netted the Stormcast Eternals 4 empire points and the Blades of Khorne only 1.  Another territory complete with a city was added to the Eternals list.

The next battle will be Stormcast Eternals vs Seraphon.  Who shall be the victor?

The Blades of Khorne suffer a defeat at the hands of the Stormcast Eternals.

Objective Markers

As in all games of 40K, objectives a big part of the game.  We've been using either dice or small markers for them, but now I have some dedicated markers to use.
Mix 1 Imperial Pilot from the Battle of Macragge set and the life pod from the objective set = Objective #1


Objective #3 is the standard pile of Imperial crates.



Objective #4:  A wounded Imperial Officer with vital information being hunted by the forces of Chaos


I'm still working on markers #2, 5, and 6 using the objective market set from GW.  These will look a lot better than using dice as markers.

Radar Bunker

Its been a while since I've posted anything because its been a while since I've completed anything.  I have a lot of projects that are in the works, but with limited time to work on them, they've been kinda sitting around waiting.

Until now!  I'm starting to get some things finished and this is one of them.  A radar bunker.

Its up on E-bay which means I'll have to make more of them.  I'll also have to make more terrain as well.

On the Workbench

One of Max' Scions for his Deathstrikers army.  Came out pretty nice.  Now only 9 more to go.

Why no Posts?

So for those of you following but haven't seen any posts for awhile, I found out Blogger doesn't work properly on the smart phone.  You can create a post, but it won't upload.  Even as a draft, it doesn't show up.

Looks like I'll have to use the desktop from now on.
