Read MoreThis week I speak to Carl Titterington who is just at this very moment releasing his first rule set called Contact Front. Contact Front is a modern skirmish rule set and during the show Carl talks about it and why it may appeal to you if you are into that sort of thing. As with other shows we also delve into Carl’s background and his journey towards creating his own rule set, it is one that is varied and interesting. It was great to get to know Carl a little better and if Contact Front sounds interesting then go and have a nose about and see what you can rustle up!
Read MoreIn this Hendrik describes his Army Composition of his two lists for the Steam and Fury Tournament and what pains he encountered while getting the Army ready! At the Steam and Fury Tournament (Here’s the Re-cap: https://youtu.be/4oQQSkBpuQc) Hendrik played five games of Warmachine and Hordes with his fully painted Protectorate of Menoth Army. It wasn’t easy to get the Army fully painted in time, but in the end he succeeded! In his opinion it’s always worth to make the effort to play fully painted - do you agree?

Read MoreAll aboard! The hype train has left the station! With all the chatter, debate and opinion surrounding GW’s newest line of magic bullet paints, we thought it would be a good idea to test them out. In this video, Peter applies ‘one thick coat’ to two identical marines - one primed with the new Citadel Wraithbone spray, the other in an automotive grey. OMG! Who will win? Will the Earth stop spinning? Can we become amazing painters in just one globby layer of paint? Watch and find out…

Read MoreThis episode I talk to Joe Veltre of Gods Eye Games and also the Acceptable Casualties Youtube Channel. Joe released his first ruleset Son’s of Mars around a year ago, and also talked to me about the Acceptable Casualties previously these can be found in episode 23 and 84, plus if you check out On Geeking part 3 between episode 65 and 66 you can hear Joe and I just goofing around and letting loose, if you like that sort of thing that is. In this episode Joe and I talk about his new rule set Steel & Steed which is a Medieval Knights and Tournament rule set which features jousting, mounted combat, as well as grand melee on foot and mounted, along with archery. I won’t spoil the chat by talking about it here but it was fun talking to Joe about his work, got the cogs in my brain whirring about how I could interact with it. I wish Joe all the best with the rules and hope it is a great success.

Read MoreMaking the Case for your own Hobby Space In this video we are making the case for getting your own Hobby Space! Instead of losing time while searching your Minis and painting stuff, setting up your painting space and then having to clean it up again - get your own little painting corner where you can hobby away and leave your things flying around! I have painted for some 15 years here and there and everywhere, though since about two years I’m having a painting corner which is great. I don’t need to worry that a child grabs a colour and throws it over the carpet, I can get a quick 15 Minute session in when I feel like it, and it’s easier to find what I need.

Read MoreMay was a month of games, I filmed about 6 battle reports for the YouTube channel. Almost finished off my very modest goal of my Cold War, Hot French. Missed it by one mini, but then again games like 7 Days to the River Rhine make it easy to accomplish projects. I did some major spring cleaning as well, re-organized my painting station and my miniature cabinet. This ate into a lot of toddler is asleep hobby time, but I was able to find some minis that I had no plans for and chuck them on eBay. This in turn gave me the slush funds necessary to finally take the plunge into Adeptus Titancus (thanks a lot Casey) but more on that later.

The same principles can be followed for the earlier vehicles by just adding your camouflage colours into the basic colours stage and using the appropriate early style insignia decals.
Read MoreApril was an interesting month. On one end I played no games, and on the other I did 2 rulebook reviews and a video report of Ultracombat Normandy. That being said, this was a slow month for painting. However, I feel like the quality of my work is improving and I managed to challenge myself by tackling different paints and methods. I really wanted to focus on how I visualize this blog. For example, I will refer to time periods when it makes sense over game systems, then individually call out the game systems as they come up. Game systems will be in bold and projects will be in italics. This helps me continuing the narrative of a project through the months. I hope you enjoy this entry and that you check out some of the other articles I have been working on at Paint All the Minis and my own blog listed at the end of the article.
