Utopia game in progress. Sgt Fender’s attack dog Baton posing.
We’ve been playing a science fiction miniatures campaign with heavy roleplaying game elements for half a dozen games now. I’ve always liked the idea of having a handful of characters to run at the same time and this game is the first instance where I’ve got to really [...]

Actual play: Flying Lead
Space marines kicking ass, taking names.
A friend of mine started running a hybrid roleplaying and miniatures campaign based on a freeform mashup of Starship Troopers, Aliens and whatever else “space marine” and scifi cliches you care to mention. It’s doing something I’ve thought about for years yet never acted on: adding some characte [...]
Warhammer 40 000: Space Marine
Space Marine cover
Based on Relic’s history with Warhammer 40 000 I had a feeling they might really deliver with Space Marine, their first action take on the franchise. I’ve played both Dawn Of War titles a lot and liked the adaptations into videogame form quite a bit. As most Warhammer fans, what I’d really love is a direct [...]
Dirty Angels
I painted my Space Marines for three nights in a row, picked up some more paints and brushes (my wife got an “Insane Detail” brush, which I find hilarious), and today painted all night long. It’s great to be really into something that’s not work.
Currently I’ve completed the base colors and inks for the beginnin [...]
The best of 2009
My 10 best games of 2009
For the most of 2009 I spent my gaming time playing games from 2008 – Far Cry 2, Fable II, Rock Band 2, lots of cheap PSP & DS titles, Company Of Heroes, Dawn Of War (the first one) – but I thought it could be fun to put together a list of what was the best 2009 had to offer. For future reference, see [...]
The coolest thing in the entire world...
RX-78 Gundam in Odaiba, Tokyo
A 1:1 scale, eighteen meter tall giant robot? Out in the wild? No contest. Check out Punynari’s coverage.
Warhammer 40’000: Space Marine
Warhammer 40'000: Space Marine
Warhammer 40’000 is all about violent action and it’s something of a wonder that its rich universe hasn’t spawned any decent action games. I haven’t played the 2003 title Fire Warrior, but the word is not in its favor. Relic has been very good to the licence with its Dawn Of War series an [...]
Cadian Sentinel
Yeah, it's obviously an AT-ST, actually. Click to go big
I made this Warhammer 40’000 Imperial Guard Cadian Sentinel today. It’s not quite done, lacking the metal shafts and piping in the legs and the gun’s barrel because I’m out of gray paint, and the base because I’m out of time, but I am pretty happy with it t [...]
Finishing stuff
I’ve been painting miniatures for the whole weekend. More specifically, I’ve been basing models I’ve basically completed ages ago to finally be content and done with them. I have around fifty new models to assemble, so it’s good to get some stuff off the workshelf for good.
I’m not very good with the camera [...]
Blood Bowl (Xbox 360, DS, PSP)
Back from a long blogging hiatus, lots of real work and a general burnout on gaming due to the Christmas crunch basically limiting the things to write about, it is my pleasure to direct your attention to Cyanide’s digital rendition of Blood Bowl. It’s been mentioned here before, and now it looks like they’re making progress [...]
