Dogs of War Online And Warpstoned

Dogs of war Used without permission

Check out these Blogs and Forums recently recommended.

DOW online is the source of the current Army Builder files for the "Dogs of war" army list
This is a great site as far as forums go.

Look for the interesting Alternate Warhammer fantasy lists! Nippon and Amazons just to name two.

Very cool stuff...

Warpstoned is a new Blog for Skaven that my son found. He informed me that it is interesting. It seems to be a chronicle of a skaven army in progress.

Take a look

Wargames Update 2/21/2011


Hello All!

Sorry for such a long delay. Real life has a nasty habit of Kicking you when your down and my life is no exception. 2011 is gearing up to be a challenge in both gaming, Hobby and that other stuff that I do between them.

All is not hardship though...

I have managed to paint over 100 miniatures since January 1st. Most of these are of the Micro scale and Starship scale variety. I did get a Rhino painted for my SM army but I don't have a pic for it yet.
-----------------------------------------------
Last Saturday I got a Chance to play a large Warhammer Fantasy game (3K points a side) Ogre Kingdoms & Empire (1500 each) vs. Skaven: We played at the secret hideout of the "Warboss"

The game only went a few turns with the OK and Empire on top. It really could have gone ether way if the game had continued.

None of that really mattered...
The best part of the day was the hanging around with the gang and getting a chance to see the new hideout. It didn't hurt that I also got to eat one of the BEST lasagna dinners I have ever had!

The Battlefield from the game

THANK YOU Mama Warboss!

Well that is enough of that...

Battle Mechs

Growing up Battletech was one of my favorite games and one of my earliest forays into miniature war gaming. Over the years I have collected a good amount of Battle Mech miniatures. I have not actually played the game in over a decade but it still hols a place in my gaming heart. When I discovered that i could us my mech collection in other games like Dirtside 2 and Ogre miniatures I got so excited that I stripped and repainted the entire collection. so here they are...

Battle Master, Griffin, Marauder, Hunchback
Stinger, Blackjack, Phoenix Hawk, Locust
Atlas, Archer, Atlas, Bombardier (Completed in 2010)
Locust, Locust, Valkyrie, Valkyrie (Completed in 2010)
Hunchback, Panther, Warhammer, Catapult
(The 79th AU) Hatamoto-Chi, Griffin, Crusader, Zeus
Catapult, Crusader, Panther, Rifleman

Star fighters and Aerospace fighters

Here is a collection of ships I intend to use in Dirtside 2 as attack fighters and in Full thrust and fighter groups...
