Origins After Action Report: Hive, Queen And Country

At origins we were provided with our own area, which was even clearly marked on the map! The space was perfectly sized having enough room for game play and auxiliary tables on and under which all the various units not in play and carrying cases could be stored or stacked.

OFFICIAL - GZG: 24 hour flash sale for Bank Holiday Monday!

Hi all, a quick update: If folks on here could do me the favour of spreading this around all the usual websites, blogs and various sites where people may find it of interest, that would be very much appreciated - especially as this is time-sensitive in that the sale starts in about 30 hours and ends again 24 hours after that!

UPDATE - SATURDAY 28th May 2016:

BANK HOLIDAY FLASH SALE - MONDAY 30th MAY ONLY - 20% DISCOUNT ON EVERYTHING IN STORE!
May seems to have passed in a blur, orders have been coming in and going out regularly (I'm fully up to date with all orders at the moment so turnround times have been back to the expected "rapid response" in most cases) while I've been having to deal with quite a lot of stuff regarding my late Mum's estate, and suddenly it's the Late May (Whitsun) Bank Holiday - so just on a whim, I'm doing a 20% off store-wide sale for 24 HOURS ONLY, from midnight on Sunday 29th until midnight on Monday 30th! To claim the discount all you need to do is place and pay for your order during that 24 hour period, using a special discount code that I will post on the store on Sunday 29th. There will be no minimum order value for the discount to apply, so if you want to get 20% off just a single pack of figures that is fine - but as usual the discount will NOT apply to postage/shipping rates, as sadly the miniatures don't magically get lighter when their prices are discounted!

Oh, and PLEASE remember that the timings of the sale start and finish will be strictly by UK TIME, so make sure you take account of the time zone differences wherever in the World you are!

Please drop back to rhe store again on Sunday 29th for details of the code to use and further info on the sale.....

Thanks for reading!

Dust, Tears & Dice: Laserburn - Imperial Commander - A real blast from...: It must be my age. These has been a real hankering of late to go back to the early 1980's and swap the all glossly and background...

 

I'm thinking of doing a VSF version of these classic rules.

Austin-Kegresse By Shouting Into The Void

Here's Peter's 1/100 scale (15mm) Austin-Kegresse half-track. It's a WW1-vintage machine, based on the Austin-Putilov armoured car, that went on for use after the war by the Red Army as well as organisations like the German Freikorps.

Lanchester Mk.II BY Shouting Into The Void

Peter Fitzpatrick at Shouting Into The Void

 

This is my 1:100 scale (15mm) Lanchester Mk.II that I had printed in high-definition black acrylate by Shapeways. The color is supposed to be the British army's *Deep Bronze Green*, their standard peace-time color for AFVs on home service during the interwar period. It's a color that consistently defeats me; I can never seem to get close to it. Vallejo do a Bronze Green in their VMC range, but it's nothing like the army color, being more like the color of actual green bronze.

Her Majesty's Steam Land-Ship Improbable

From: Peter Fitzpatrick at Shouting Into The Void

Her Majesty's Steam Land-Ship Improbable is ready now to go steaming across the veldt.

Except that now that I look, I suddenly realise that I completely forgot the funnel.

Bugger.

So, not quite finished. But nearly!

A bit later....

I added the funnels and replaced the pictures, so now I'm done.

Earthmen On Mars!

Since my free trial of both PhotoShop and Paintshop Pro have run out, I have to take a short break from *Rough Riders On Mars!* for a bit (until I can buy one of them). So I'll take this time to post some pictures of the Earthlings that will be used for my *Edison's Conquest Of Mars! *games. These are 15mm figures of my own design (except for British 9pdr which is Minifig and the US and French guns that were designed by Richard Huston). *Edison's Conquest Of Mars! *allows for a wide variety of nationalities, however, at this time I have only French, German, British, and American uni...

All Quiet On The Martian Front: Germans

In keeping with my "All Quiet On The Martian Front" project and stealing liberally

from other sources, namely the BBC 's "THE GREAT MARTIAN WAR" . I thought

I'd do a German faction since I already had this monster built several years ago......) 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Her Majesty's Steam-Landship "Improbable"

Peter Fitzpatrick at Shouting Into The Void

 

 

 

I have begun work on an imaginary VSF (that's *Victorian Science Fiction*) steam-powered land-ship in 15mm scale. So far, I've only completed the front wheel assembly, and the front gunner's position with its Gatling gun. I haven't done any preparatory drawings for this thing, and I'm just making it up as I go along, which is proving to be both easier and harder than working from plans. Easier, because I don't have to worry too much about dimensions, except to cater to 3d-printing limitations, and harder, because I have only the vaguest idea of how it will end up looking, so I have... more »
