Ranks and flanks – we back baby!

Let’s dive right in with my first impressions of CMON’s A Song of Ice & Fire Tabletop Miniatures Game. After two games I’ve got a good feeling about ASOIF: TMG. Leading up the game’s release, the hype was real. I have not been this excited for game in a long time. I am thrilled to report… Read More Ranks and flanks – we back baby!

SeaFall – Two games in…

The hype was real. At GenCon 2016 the game sold out before the doors even opened to the general public. Expectations were high and everyone was talking about SeaFall in hushed, reverent tones. So here we are, almost a year after its initial release, and I have finally ripped open the shrink-wrap, punched the tokens,… Read More SeaFall – Two games in…

Runewars: The Miniatures Game – Warhammer Fantasy meets X-Wing

The top perk in the Adepticon swag bags this year was a copy of the core box for Fantasy Flight Games’ yet-to-be-release Runewars: The Miniatures Game. Needless to say, I was thrilled. It’s like Chicago Dice got an early review copy! Note that this not a full review, only Ben and my initial thoughts on… Read More Runewars: The Miniatures Game – Warhammer Fantasy meets X-Wing

Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower first impressions

So the other week Andrew and I broke out Silver Tower upon it’s release. We had each bought our own sets, so to speed things up I built heroes from mine and he worked on the Tzeentch guys from his (and then I helped, since there’s a lot more of the Tzeentch than there are… Read More Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower first impressions

I was in a Challenge to paint a Warhammer: Underworlds Warband by the end of March. Sadly, I wasn't able to meet the goal, I finished three out of five but I am thrilled with the results.
First tournament in, well, I can't even remember how long. Made the trip down to Toledo for a 14-player, three-game tournament. Went 3-0 and captured Best Axis.
Finished painting up a whole batch of Rohan Houses. Still need to finish the bases, but the buildings themselves are done! - Andrew
Done with the Tomb Scorpion and I'm thrilled with the results! Big props to @mengel_miniatures for the fantastic paint guide that got me started. I've got 6th Edition hype again... - Andrew
