By Fire and Sword Batreps

One of the things that got me going again with By Fire and Sword are some batreps I found on Youtube.  Here is a link to the latest.

It's been a while... okay a year.

whew... that went fast.  I have made a commitment to do more painting/playing.  With that is cleaning up the basement.   As I have been cleaning, I keep finding those old projects.  Most them still seem pretty cool, but when will I ever finish them.  There are a couple I want to have a go at finishing.  By Fire and Sword has been an interest of mine for day one.  I love the time period and the armies.  I did both the kickstarters and have plenty to paint.  Of course the one think I really don't like to paint.., horses and the main army I picked... horses and cheap ones at that so that means a lot of them.  Here is the start of a whole bunch of them:



My second project, also a kickstarter, is All Quiet on the Martian Front.  Love the models and the theme.




My goal is to clean the basement and paint a little every day.   Wish me luck.   One last project I would love to finish is my Quar.

New project.

Okay, just what I didn't need to do but here it goes.

Rivet Wars


Working on 3D terrain:

The Design


I used an 18x18 tile.  Was going to go smaller but since River Wars is based on 9x9, I think this will work out well.


After a few cuts of Styrofoam.


The weapon of choice.


Test boards for trench.



Closer view.

My first update... kind of.

Wanted to add a little more about Fanticide and what I'm think about doing.  It actually combines two projects... well actually adds to the current Fanticide one.

I really like just about everything Zombiesmith does.  One of their more recent projects is War of Ashes. While I'm not sold on their rules, I love their miniature line for WoA.  Here are a few pictures.






I think these would work perfect for Fanticide.  This is one of the main reasons I like Fanticide, a great warband creation section in the rulebook.  Once I finalize the stats for the warbands I will post them here.  I have a few of the Elvorix almost done and will post pictures.  

New Year

Okay, one of my New Year's resolutions is to actually post on my blog. Also, I hope to get some painting done. I picked up a couple of new things and dug out some old. Here is what I plan on working on:
