Gaming gaming gaming!! Sails of Glory and Command and Colors Napoleonics

I finally got a few games in, it has been ages. Mainly due to having a major stress out on trying to get a new job. Good news I got the job and so far so great!

Sails of Glory, two games from last week and one today. This game thus far is fun fun fun. I am still trying to figure out controlling ships so they don't crash.

Pictures from last weeks two games. I didn't do a battle report because I was to busy playing and having fun.

These two pictures are from today's game.

My two ships crash into one another and Richards two also do the same. Collisions are painful.

Commands & colors: Napoleonics

Played this fairly recently. At first it looked like I was doing well until my left flank got crushed!

I haven't posted anything lately

Sorry for not posting anything lately. I haven't had a miniature game in for over a month. I did get a few things to work on. With trying to stress over getting a new job, and my friend in the hospital, work scheduling and the like.  I hope to get inspired on working on something soon.

Here are few thing I hope to posting soon enough.

Plague Drones (3)
T55 (3)
Fire and Sword miniatures (a whole lot of them) Muscovite army.

Flames of War mini rule book now on for sale.

It seems for $15 you can now buy the mini rule book. A win in my book!!!

Compare that with the Games Workshop $50 dollar mini rule book. Granted the FOW book will fall apart but for $6-$12 you can get it bound it still is a better value then the GW mini book.

WIP Transports for Battlefleet Gothic and other things

Lighting and metallics still to go.

So this is how it is coming along. I hope to get the six transport/supply ships done soon. I should have a full day of working on it this Tuesday, so I better get some sleep right after I post this.

I am liking the color on this one thus far.

The colors on this is pretty cool looking, I painted then washed and then went back over with the main colors once more. Once I get the lighting done and some shiny parts it will be perfect.

3 transports/supply, another 3 on the way

Here is a work in progress of the transports/supply ships, just got the Primer on, letting it sit and then finish this up probable by on monday. I will start work on the planet also, I feel like a earth type world. The stands with post are for more asteroids.

Planet and some bases for asteroids

Proxy fighter/bomber for Battlefleet Gothic

Just a test piece for use in Battlefleet gothic using Babylon 5 ships. I like how they look.

I can't wait to see this Planetfall release next year!

Ok, I wasn't a fan of the Dropship Commander miniatures, but Planetfall's artwork looks good, and should prove to be some nice miniatures if they can pull it off in miniature. I hope the rules system is rock solid also and come next year I will be building my little army up.

Happy gaming people!!

Terrain Board I made many many years ago...

I had this idea of making a terrain board probable over 10 years ago I think, and when I moved to Maui from Oahu I had given them to the owner of a local hobby shop so people could use it. Funny to see how badly the choice of color was for the board, but I was younger then.

He had dug it out recently and let people use it. It is pretty beat up and the brown is just bad. But as my first attempt at a large terrain piece it was fun to make. Though section is missing, he had 3 out of the 4 parts for people to play on. They are on 2x4 foot foam sections, somewhat interchangeable.  It can be setup in a number of ways. 2x4, 4x4, 6x4, 4x8.

I may tackle something like this in a future date, but as it stands I don't got the space to tackle a project that takes up to much space.

With some work it can be passable once again as a playing surface.
