Miniatures
Lesson learned: When gluing miniatures I need to make sure my hair is in a ponytail. I leaned forward to get a better look at a mini I was gluing and got a bunch of "Zap-a-Gap" in my hair....
Warhammer 40K: Attack of the Robots
I went over to Cody's earlier to play a couple games of 40K. I was playing the Necrons, a race of robotic terminator-like robots that serve a god-like race called the C'Tan, a race of ancient "Star Vampires." The Necron...
Street Violence
On many occassions, I've tried to find cool miniatures for a goth-punk (Changeling), cyberpunk or Superhero games and there aren't a lot out of there. I'm not looking for any now, but I feel I should share this link for...
Miniatures
When I heard that WotC (Wizards of the Coast) was cancelling the Chainmail miniatures game, I was bummed. I had finally found a miniature game that was exactly the kind of game I was looking for. It was fast with...
D&D Minis: Red Dragon
The D&D miniature handbook has a picture of a Red Dragon from the next expansion for their D&D Miniatures game. You can see it here....
D&D Miniatures: A Review
I've been wanting to post a review of these for a little while but I held off until I'd actually had a chance to play a few games. I've played now and feel qualified to review the game. I've been...
D&D Minis: Dragoneye Previews
WotC has posted a preview of their releases for the next couple of months, including six pictures of figures in the next expansion for the D&D miniatures game, Dragoneye. Also, I'd like to point out a correction for my review...
I Think I Need a Bigger Brush
Reaper has added their newest dragon miniature to their website, here. Makes me wish I had $75 to blow on a miniature. I wish they had pictured another mini with it for a sense of scale, but I'm guessing from the price that it's huge.
Expensive Childhood
The game, Crossbows and Catapults was mentioned on a message board. For those of you who don't know, Crossbows and Catapults was a game series released in the eighties where kids built castles with plastic blocks and used little rumber-band poweres crossbows and catapults to try and knock them down. This game was tailor-made for both the destructive nature of young boys and that engineering nature. (I'm not saying that young girls can't enjoy these things as well, just that young boys tend to crave building things just to blow them up and this was a safe way to do just that.) The game was a blast and it got me wondering how much it would be to relive that memory of childhood.
Never mind. (If you are reading this through an RSS feed such as through LJ, you won't see the link that I put in this. I linked to an eBay auction for the game where the bid is currently at $60.)
D&D Minis: Chainmail
WotC has releases a list of Chainmail minis that can be officially be used for games of D&D Miniatures Skirmish games. The list is here.
New Reaper Greens
Reaper posted a preview of some of their upcoming minis. I'm a little disappointed with this lot. I like the Moorhound, but I don't really care much for the others....
D&D: Giants of Legend
Wizards of the Coast has the fourth set of D&D miniatures listed in their online store now, Giants of Legend seen here: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=products/dndmin/967010000
It's going to have "creatures larger than any seen so far," including Giants and Dragons.
Reaper mini preview
Reaper has a preview of a bunch of Werner Klocke greens on their website. I like Freya Fangbreaker the best. There aren't a lot of good female dwarf minis out there. I like Klocke's elf minis a lot, but the...
D&D Minis: Archfiends Gallery
Wizards has a gallery of the Archfiends expansion set for D&D Minis up. Check it out! Link: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/mg/20040203a
D&D Minis: Giants of Legend
Gaming Report has some photos of minis from the next set of D&D minis including a huge Red Dragon and a Treant (aka an Ent). With this set, I think they may get a lot more people looking at playing...
Star Wars Minis
Gaming Report has pictures of minis from Star Wars Collectible Mini Game....
D&D Minis: Giants of Legend
The next set of D&D Minis, Giants of Legends, should be out shortly. It is the first set to have huge figures like Frost Giants, Ents (or Treants) and Bullits. You can see photos here: http://www.lemonbutter.com/dd/gol_preview.html
Star Wars Minis
The Star Wars miniature game is out. I saw some of the minis at lunch and they look far better than any of collectible mini games have so far. The detail and paint-jobs on the minis are amazing and unlike...
Star Wars Miniatures: A Review
I played the Star Wars Miniatures game with some friends a few weeks back and have since bought several boxes to start my own collection. Wizards of the Coasts has done an extremely good job with this game and I...
Deathknell previews
The D&D website has pictures of all the figs from the next D&D miniatures expansion, Deathknell. I can't wait to get a Beholder. Now, if they would just make a Gelatinous Cube and a Rust Monster, I could have one of each of my favorite weird monsters from D&D. Link: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/mg/20050324a
Deathknell: First Pack
I picked up my first pack of Deathknell minis at lunch. The new figures are nice as always. I got a lot of animals this pack, which should be handy since I don't have many minis for representing animals....
D&D Minis- Just Because
I've decided I want to collect up a bunch of giant frogs from the new D&D Minis set and then play a 100 pt warband of all giant frogs. It amuses me and I don't know why....
Cadwallon
The makers of the Confrontation and Ragnarok mini games are coming out with a RPG in the setting this summer and I'm really looking forward to it. Set in the free city of Cadwallon, it's going to be a fantastic...
What am I gaming these days?
My gaming is probably the most eclectic it has even been these days. I don't get to roleplay as much as I like, but I am running a monthly Amber campaign, running a series game at Ambercons (Dreaming City), am...
