This has been a long time coming. The origins can go back three years ago when I first came up with the idea of Magic and Tech but then failed to carry through with any serious development. It has been […]

Suffering during lockdown by a lack of play, I decided that it was time to get some solo play in. However, what I didn’t want to do was spend hours carefully preparing minis and terrain. I was also inspired by […]

I have decided to strip the posts out the Ogre Project to here, allowing my forces of Rhordia the room to move and flex their military might and also allowing me to keep things relatively on topic.

This project is focusing on recreating two armies from the classic Fantasy wargame, Knights and Magick. Knights and Magick was first published by Heritage USA in 1980. The rulebook is still available currently from The Gaming Gang website in both […]

Project logging my progress through Mophidius' The Elder Scrolls: Call To Arms miniatures game.

My "Rangers of Shadow Deep - solo campaign" project is growing too large. For this spin off project I will be looking at a different warband to take into harms way. I read the fluff and found that there are […]

So after a very long pause and not doing much in the hobby. I painted like 30 minis between 2012-2018 after I moved to Ireland from Germany and was very busy with work. In 2018 I built & painted the […]

I dig out one of my long neglected minis that I meant to put on display (purchased 2008?). Here I take Mebh the Ice Witch from Celtos and turn up the heat to create a basing scheme befitting the humid […]

I was gifted a bunch of Dweghom for Conquest in Christmas 2019 so here is the journey to put them together, paint them and hopefully play with them.
