Miniature Review The natural follow on from painting the islands seemed to be the islands. The rocks look the same as expected, as do most of the shipwrecks. The only different piece is the dwarven shipwreck. It's a pretty small piece with a few runes, and some barnacles to add some extra detail…

Having worked on a few Space Wolves, I started to feel bad at the number of old board games I still have looking at me unpainted. I decided that before expanding the army too much, as it will likely never stop, I should paint at least one more now. Dreadfleet was one of the older ones and is…

Now that's I've got a couple of boxed games finished, I want to take a bit of a break before diving straight into the next one. I feel like I've neglected my Space Wolves army for so long, it's now time to start again. Rather than building another Blackmane company it's time to choose a new one. I…

Back in 2015 I backed Iron Battlefield on Indiegogo. A range of 28mm Sci Fi terrain with an industrial style design, with a focus on being highly configurable for both indoor and outdoor games. To me it seemed perfect for a Space Marine army. Bulky, dark metallic walls, floors, catwalks and grids…
