Infinite Battles – Another Irregular Project

One thing I’ve always wanted to have is a generic system that could be used for anything – fantasy, historical, sci-fi, anything. The idea is to keep the rules interesting enough that they give a good game while also allowing you to stat your own units to fit any genre or period. I’m calling it […]

The Return of My Anime-ish Rules

I cleaned up my hobby desk earlier this week. With so much more extra space I’ve managed to fit in a small gaming area right next to my painting station. So figures once dry can be pushed right into the action! The space itself could probably just about house a 2’x2’ board, but for now […]

A Little Gaming Board

A little project I wanted to get done in the weekend just gone was a small gaming board for my anime-ish miniature skirmish game. I have somewhat of an obsession for playing games in smaller spaces and so I took a one foot square cork tile as the base. I cut the corners off of […]

Tiny Wars – Fantasy Skirmish

Here’s a little side project I worked on while thinking long and hard about the rules for Deathzap. One of the issues during lockdown is finding the space to play bigger games, especially while sharing the house with the parents in law, I’m currently hashing out Deathzap on a 2×2 but it could really use […]

The Small and Mysterious Box (Tiny Tostig)

I’ve been rather overloaded with hobby projects of late, having recently picked up three more: Chaos Orcs for Age Of Sigmar, 10mm Mass Battle Fantasy and 2mm Sci Fi, the last two were as a result of having won Irregular Miniatures most recent painting competition with my Samurai figure: After basing my new 10mm Fantasy […]

Featherstone’s Ancients for 6mm Fantasy Battles?

I woke up rather early this morning, the house was quiet so I thought I’d play a little Solo game. I grabbed my 6mm Fantasy Armies with the intent of doing my best to work with the Ancients rules found in the following tome: There were some nice adaptations I could make right off of […]

Simple Satisfying Games

There’s often an urge to roll dice and see events unfold, to wonder how things might have been different had fortune swung the other way and what might have been actively done better to change the outcome. To scratch this itch I played a 150 point game of Deathzap Skirmish on a rather small board […]

That Eclectic Miniatures Heroscape Ripoff Game

So I’ve been painting a lot lately, and haven’t been playing much, even solo. So I thought I’d play a quick game with those 15mm figures I picked up from Irregular a few weeks back. Hopefully you’re not too bothered by historical inaccuracy in your games although funnily enough only one of the units here […]

An Eclectic 15mm Miniatures Selection

A package arrived in the post today from Irregular Miniatures. One of my favourite Miniatures sites to browse, but I’ve rarely purchased anything due to the fact that it was one of those sites you had to send an email list of the bits you wanted to and wait for the PayPal invoice in a […]

Grid of Death – Battle Report

The Tribeship Torvax is home to the Bloodline Tribe of Solar Raiders, one of the largest among the SolRad fleets it harbours impressive hab-domes, rich, but artificial jungles fill the domes in order to create a self sustaining breathable atmosphere on the ship. A small invasion force of Vel scout the Torvax after infiltrating it […]

A Step in the Gridded Direction

Today’s project was to start work on a gridded gaming surface that I can use while my gaming space is at a minimum. I picked up two cork notice boards that were 30x40cms, painted them green and put a 5x5cm grid on both with a permanent marker. I’m cooking up rules in my head, and […]

Rice Fleets

Anyone really can afford this… I started by cutting tongue depressors into squares. I then went on to texture my wooden squares with bicarbonate of soda and super glue. At this point I got carried away. Glue a grain of rice to each base and paint accordingly. I used the smaller grains for destroyers, cruisers […]

Tales From The Portable Gaming Case: Gladiators

So I take four of the ‘trees’ (tin foil glued to washers and flocked) put them in a square to create a rough representation of a 3×3 grid. I then flip over the top card of the deck, the card shows an arrow moving from one grid square to another. First the figures in the […]

Tales From The Portable Gaming Case: Colonial

The Mrs and I are moving house, which means most evenings are spent packing things up, or finding old projects and getting distracted by them. One such projects was my portable gaming case, found stashed away on a bookshelf. Contained within are figures for various periods, and small bits of scenery to play around with. […]
