Wooden Warriors: December 2012
https://wooden-warriors.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
A blog about designing, creating, and painting wooden model soldiers for wargaming. These models are sometimes known as "craftees". To me, they are wooden warriors. Monday, December 24, 2012.

Lesch, Foss1066, Dan, el frances, littlejohn, Mark Burgess, David Crook, SA ROE, Mr. Monkeytail, and Hammster Chomiczewski! And the Skull and Crown. John Acar's Craftee section.

http://www.circagames.com/goblins_old_school
Dispatches from terra incognita. Goblins of the Old School. Submit this little vignette. As confirmation that I completed another dozen Bones. “Dungeon Attack” goblins, this time; compadres of the kobolds I knocked out last week. Following Chris Palmer’s lead. I eschewed green and sought guidance from my venerable 1/e AD&D. Monster Manual: “. Goblins range from yellow through dull orange to brick red in their skin color. Chris chose orange, so I bit for yellow. Comme ci comme ça. Paint Table Saturday 24.

Dispatches from terra incognita. Paint Table Saturday 48. Ollowing the blizzard of productivity. Which coincided with February’s blizzards (well, o.k., they weren’t really. But a half-foot of snow is a lot for North Carolina), things have been slow, hobby-wise, for the past month. The Sword and the Flame. Rulebook. I’ll probably use them most often for VSF, so anything goes, I suppose. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. A Town in Two Scales. John Acar's Craftees. Little People Go to War. Wargaming on a Budget.

Dispatches from terra incognita. Paint Table Saturday 24. Ere’s the paint table. As of yesterday. A frenetic hodgepodge mirroring the mind of the painter (but not really in that good creative way, more’s the pity). Scattered about you see several Hirst Arts pieces in various states of completion. The kobolds from earlier could still be found still skulking about, four or so rebased Heroclix, and the primed chaps and chapettes to the right are Foundry Darkest Africa. Hough a week late. Next (which, I just...

Dispatches from terra incognita. Ne of the great joys. Of my day is chatting with my wife as she prepares dinner. Cooking is her hobby, as miniatures (and guitar and carpentry and farming and sailing … oh, well, perhaps I have too many hobbies) are mine. The results of. Work are impressive and delicious, and our boys and I gratefully partake. Poking around in the GULP. Also unearthed my Blue Moon “ Missionaries, Explorers, Victims and other White Folks.

Paint Table Saturday – Circa Games
http://www.circagames.com/paint-table-saturday
Dispatches from terra incognita. N the name of conjugal concord. I decommissioned my expansive paint table. As is the rule with all horizontal surfaces, it collected bits and bobs that only reduced its utility. Additionally, the higher purpose of my humble hobby space is to be a guest room. Though we don’t host guests frequently, I suppose those who do stay won’t want to bunk alongside a dusty profusion of hobbying detritus. A dormer of his own. Room, and to spare. Game table or garbage heap? War in a Box.

Buildings from the Big City – Circa Games

Dispatches from terra incognita. Buildings from the Big City. Ere are some shots. Of the first three, very-nearly-done, buildings for my 25/28/32mm figures. Note that the spread for the miniature size is due to the fact that I didn’t realize that the Reaper Bones figures would be so. All of my metal figures are closer to 28mm, so these new plastic chaps tower over them! This is the building based on the old Games Workshop template. (I showed its 15mm cousin in a previous post. While I’m constructin...

Dispatches from terra incognita. Uilding a gaming table. Is a daunting endeavor. If one has yet to accumulate a lot of wargaming experience, he has to imagine what “features” a table should have in order to make gaming more enjoyable. Lumber and time are both valuable these days. I didn’t want to expend too much of either to create something that wouldn’t work for me. About this theoretical one (I didn’t find evidence that it was ever built), discovered here. Which would be a big plus in my limited space...

Dispatches from terra incognita. He very first minis I purchased. In my adulthood were a passel of western figures from Monday Knight Productions. They turned out to be a mixture of 25 and 28mm, as I really didn’t know the difference then, and the site doesn’t seem to differentiate. This was nearly 15 years ago, and these wee desperadoes formed the core of my Great Unpainted Lead Pile, or GULP, which also happens to be the sound I utter when I behold its vastness. Wind in the Willows. Those little boys a...
