What has the Madman been doing?!

Hello gang, you might have noticed a certain...lack of activity.
This has many reasons, primarily to blame is my own laziness however, and i'm going to seek to remedy this.
Below is a selection of shiny pictures to show you what it is exactly that i've been up too over the past couple of weeks/months since the last update, which honestly wasn't much of an update.


Without further ado...

1.)   JD and myself have played several engagements in the Road to Orleans VSF campaign, which i think will be the next post that i will bring to you, as we have gotten all the way to Orleans and the total death toll now is in the Thousands (literally).

Here we have American Colonial Troops and Dragoons fighting in the Massacre that was the City of the Damned.  More to come on that, like i said... next post!  (i swear it'll be soon)

2.) Sculpy!   I've discovered a rather interesting medium to make miniatures with, called Sculpy, that is actually an oven bake clay,  i've been doing some experimenting with it of late,  more to come, as i play with it in as many ways possible and find its uses to a Wargamer. 

3.) 40k !    Yes, there is simply no escaping the grim darkness i'm afraid, i always get pulled right back in...  The minis you see hear are part of a Loyalist Guard Army (i know a strange term around this blog).  That i'm creating to fight Chris from Sippin' on Paint Water's plague pirates. More to come as that progresses further. 

4.) Finally 15mm.

Alot of it,  "The Fabricators" Sons of Thunder are finished, im painting Guuseprians, and minis for "The War in Africa" setting with Chris.  As well as some neat-o terrain boards. 

That's all for now, don't want to overload you.  We are still fighting out the Warhammer map campaign, i've got some GM games of Regimentals, Malifaux, etc  under my belt, and i finished painting all the Blood Angels as well as selling off all my CSM's.   Its been a busy few months of hobby. hopefully i can keep you all better apprised of my comings and goings.

Shameless Easter RE- Post of Victory!

Chris at Sippin' on Paint Water is holding an Easter Basket Contest,  and like any good warmongering mad man, i desire all things.  therefore, i am (in accordance with his posted rules)  reposting his post here, so that i get another chance to win,  the bonus for you all is that it will probably make me want to actually post some of my own content again!  as Im rather lazy when it comes to reporting things.


at any rate, here is the link to the easter post


Sippin' on Paint Water,

Campaign in the Border Princes!

After that recent lack of me updating the blog here. I've decided to update you all with my goings on.

I've been talking with a group of local gamers, most of whom you'll know or recognize as regulars that i play against quite a bit. This time we are all dusting off our respective Warhammer Fantasy collections and heading down to the Border Princes, in a campaign of my own design, the rules packet of which i'll post a link to soon.   Here is my hand drawn map of the area however.

The general feel of the rules are that there are three distinct ways to earn victory points, blood, gold, and faith. each with their own missions and goals.  We wanted to keep the average battle points limit small, to encourage painting and modelling so you'll be seeing some very neat things like baggage trains and conversions.  An interesting and perhaps exciting note is that all players participating have a blog so you "may" have coverage of the war from all different angles.


We have Myself of course playing a Middenhiem/Kislivite force of Empire with the hardy Northmen as allies.

This is one of my Battle Groups named "Zeal" it is led by the fiery Priest of Ulric, Malg Olgthra.  It (like the rest of my state troops)  hails from the town of Minveria, which lies in the greater province of Middenhiem. But more on the whole of the armies background at a later time. 

We also have Chris, from Sippin' on Paint Water  who is coming into play with a hideous army of Slanneshi Beastmen, no doubt eager to rape, pillage and eat orphans im sure...

Next up we have "The Fabricator" from Fabricator's Workbench who is bringing a throng of Dwarves to pacify the region and look for all sorts gold and goodies

Followed by Sonsoftaurus, from Sons of Taurus who is bringing an Undivided host of Warriors of Chaos

and finally we have Col.Killgore from My Little World of Dementia who is bringing in the ferocious and always hungry Ogre Kingdoms. 

All in all a full house filled with all kinds of potential for bloodletting and gaming left and right. More on that, the Pilgrims fandex, and much much more next time !
