Its been about a year since the last Ursa Miner update, so I am glad that the next installment of Space Dwarf is a classic old Rogue Trader era figure that I have wanted to paint since 1989 Continue reading

I needed some low level grunts – really low quality “Drones” in game terms – to field in Swatters games at the start of the year. Recently I found a few boxes of these creepy-crawlies for sale and figured that rather than spend a few days researching, buying, cleaning, painting and basing these lowest-of-the-low grade troops that I would use these toys instead.

Tau Fire Warrior Test Piece
I have been promising myself some brightly coloured, vaguely anime inspired tau models since 2001 when the range first came out. I have been picking up a few models here and there ever since (not forgetting a large donation from theottovonbismark last year) but this is the first tau that I have actually got around to painting.

The Rupture Farmers
Judwan are a disenfranchised pacifist alien race circumstantially forced to play DreadBall. Their game style is a fast and nimble one that is exceptionally well suited to passing plays.

Mee-Kel Judwan

I made the 1000km+ road trip from West Cork to Belfast and back again last weekend. The main motivation was to play DreadBall, but it also gave me an excuse to visit Belfast, a city that I had never been to before. Continue reading
