I made another map!

 Two posts in one day? After my last post exploring my lack of energy for the Karthlands setting... I went and made a new map for the setting. Taking my original map and building it in an actual map editor!

    Love this! I've got some cartograohy software but as of yet haven't had a need to put it use. I think the setting you've created is a great way to push on different aspects of the hobby!

Lower your standards, have more fun.

  What started as a quick way for me to paint an army, has – I think – turned into my new approach for larger scale army building.   Part of the reason I am writing this is because I have had a lot of conversations lately with people who have had trouble getting a painted army to the table. I wanted to show that there’s a bunch of really easy ways to get an army done quick and make it look decently good. And this isn’t a speedpaint hack or a slap-chop guide – there’s no new fancy technique here. It’s really just about using a few high contrast colours and picking out bold details. It can be done incredibly quickly, even by a beginner, and it has a very strong style of its own. To set the stage a bit, I’ve been working on a massive Dwarf army for Warhammer: The Old World. It’s something like 6000 points before adding magic items – way too many models. Additionally, I made the decision that this army was going to be done using something approximating the 90’s ‘Eavy Metal s...

Miniature Makers: A (not at all) Definitive List

For nearly 20 years, I have been captivated by the miniature hobby. For most of that time, the only company I was truly aware of, was Games Workshop. The giant in the room, GW certainly has an impressive range of sculpts and a strong design vision. In the last few years, I have become aware of a wide range of other companies, brands, and sculptors, who have their own unique visions about what miniatures are. This will be a living list of the miniature manufacturers that have been recommended to me, or that I have purchased from. It is a very diverse list. Some manufacturers focus on their own proprietary games, and some just sell bits. I have not ordered from all of these companies, so your mileage may vary!!! If there is a company that you love, and it is not listed here, drop me a line and I will add it to the list.

Back to the Dungeon

  Blogs are once again in vogue, and that works for me. I started this blog before I created a hobby Instagram account, and I'm happy to return here. I've had a love-hate relationship with Instagram, and often, I don't actually care if anyone is reading what I write or seeing what I work on. Most of the time, it's just the act of creation that means something to me. At this current moment in time I'm in between houses and don't have all of my hobby stuff, so a place to write and post ideas is a great cathartic exercise. I'm also coming to the end of the 2nd annual One Page Game Jam, which has been getting a great response just like last year - but once that's done, I think it will be time to delete IG off my phone again. Having a place where I can potentially reach some of my friends (even in this belaboured form) helps me feel like I'm still connected to the zeitgeist. So, this is just a little post to kick things off. I've got a few ideas for p...
