A Little Update

Well, I'm not dead.  I'm in a strange place.  I have more painted miniatures I need to base than I have unpainted miniatures needing to be painted.

I'm hunkering down to go full ACME basing factory to get through this pile of nearly ready to play stuff.

Right now I'm getting all the Ceasarian Romans and Gallic warbands on bases for a game I'm hosting at PacifiCon in late August.

A little preview of that below.  A Roman legion unit and a medium Gallic warband.

Some command bases below.

I'm also going to be running an Ork Killrig game at PacifiCon using simplified Gaslands rules.

I created dashboards for the two Killrigs and eight player dashboards with changable vehicle cards.

Did these dashboards using my laser cutter and ChatGPT to render the art.  Painted the gear boxes.  The shifter is magnetized.

This is tge same game Adam Clark ran at this past KublaCon (see that post from late May/eaely June for pictures).  Adam did it in 20mm, my game is using 32mm (full Warhammer 40k sized Ork vehicles).

These are the two Killrigs.

I'm also painting up my "ravine" set I have.  This will be in the middle of the table.  The Killrigs are moving down the table trying to get off the other end while the players work to destroy the Killrigs before they make it.  There will be a bridge, but players can also attempt to jump the ravine.

I have a few other projects simply needing some basing attention before they get to the tabletop and allow me to play some new games and periods.  But will save that for another day.

Happy gaming!

KulbaCon 2026

I've just returned from KublaCon (Prime) 2026.  I played a ton of games and it was a grand time with lots of the crew (local and international) showing up for laughs, good times, and miniature fun!

I ran my Space Hulk game three times.  Each game included 5 players -1 Genestealer, 2 loyalist Space Marine squads, and 2 traitor Space Marine squads.  The Space Marines (both sides) had to retrieve relics from the hulk and escape.  The loyalists and traitors are opposed - so can (and did) shoot at each other!  Lots of fun all around.  I'm really happy where this all landed.

Adam Clark ran his Ork War Rig game (Ork Gaslands rules) which was an absolute blast.  Adam did all this in 20mm scale.  We played it twice through the weekend and I really had a lot of fun.  I have all these same models in 32mm scale so I'll be looking to do the same at PacifiCon.  I just need to make a few modifications to my war rig.  Adam's dashboards with the shifter are just super!

This pits all the players (Ork buggies) against a GM controlled war rig.  The war rig moves down the highway each turn and is trying to escape out the end of the road.  All the buggies are trying to destroy the rig ... and each other!  You get victory points for destroying sections of the war rig and for blowing up your "cooperative" Ork buggies - but you only get the Ork buggies victory points if the war rig doesn't escape.

Our group hosted and ran many games - 17 in all throughout the weekend.

Thomas Foss ran his Kessel Run game for us.

I ran a SpeekFreeks game.

Dan Kerrick ran a 3:10 To Yuma scenario using What A Cowboy (lots of fun - I rescued my brother from the law!).

I ran What A Tanker.

John Lantz ran a WW2 Russian front game using Bolt Action.

Adam Clark hosted a game of Mighty Empires.  My Orcs did not so great - struggle bus all the way!  I had a Waaagh break out in my empire, traitors surrendered one of my cities to my enemy, oh boy, the fun!

Oliver hosted his Attack of the Ents game which was visually stunning.

I was very focused on gaming so didn't take very many pictures unfortunately.  Now on the PacifiCon and more games and projects!
