Ordo Xenos Inquisitor Verhoeven
This retro looking chap is a late eighties/early nineties GW inquisitor miniature that I picked up on Ebay a while back. I painted the figure for use in skirmish games set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe (as discussed a little here). Continue reading

The view of Fortress Thomond as recorded by O.C.P. Patriots helmet cam during grav-chute deployment.
I played in the Irish DreadBall Nationals event last Saturday. It took place in Thomond Park, arguably the most significant rugby stadium in the country. That obviously also makes it quite an amusingly appropriate venue for a “sports” event like a DreadBall tournament. Continue reading

Navigator Totenkranz
This vision of loveliness is Reaper Miniatures Dr. Totenkranz. I picked the figure up a few years ago intending to use it as a zombie boss type – some sort of sci-fi necromancer/evil scientist and possibly the root of the zombie outbreak.
