Some Sunday Mornin' Drama

Another old track. Had always meant to go back and edit the drums. Oh, well.

Play on, Player

I don't always play hex-and-counter games, but when I do, it's when they look bad-ass. Fire in the Sky has been sitting on my bookshelf for the last two years. I finally got it on the table this week. It's said that a good game will play out like a fine novel. So far, this one is as good as its cover.

Visaya represent.

I'm deciding whether to blog the game turns (each turn representing 2-3 months of historical real time). It may turn out to be a nice research and historical-fiction project, something to mentally nibble on while I'm not taking classes.

Nerds in Winter

The great project of our time. In anticipation of the Second Edition War of The Ring, I began to paint the first-edition figures, starting with the Haradrim regulars.

Assemble your posse, Charlie Murphy. The colors (seven plus three washes) are a little ambitious, I admit. These pics are after about a full day's work. I painted the bases (not pictured) a mix of brown and black washes over a tan basecoat to indicate Shadow-alignment (also matching the map's color for Mordor lands).

Primed and  ready to go. You can see a little bit of the red plastic coming through. I'm not sure what scale these are in, other than they're real small -- about half the size of D&D 28mm figures. The spot brush was in full effect. For reference, the squares on the craft mat are 1-inch.
