OMG! SO MANY BRICKS! (Ruined Tower Terrain)

Greetings, humans!

Sorry I've been quiet for a bit.  I've been in a bit of a creative funk.  However, I did recently finish a nice terrain piece.  I should have been painting minis, I suppose, but the heart wants what it wants.  So my unsightly, gray warband will be having adventures at the feet of this lovely, ruined tower. :)

Five Leagues from the Borderlands 2e

Nordic Weasel Games recently released the second, expanded edition of "Five Leagues from the Borderlands", and I was so excited to try it, but I just didn't have any fantasy stuff to play with.  Over the course of a month, I put together a modest bit of terrain and collected some fantasy/medieval minis, and tried to get them ready.  In the end, I couldn't hold out anymore.  As such, please forgive the primer grey and black figures. :(

"Five Leagues" is a fantasy solo campaign skirmish game, designed with easy to use rules that are optimal for solo play without being boring.  You start with a party of (usually) four Heroes and four Followers, and a few villages suffering the depredations of Outlaws, Border Tensions, and Dark Secrets.  Each of these Threats has a rating, and your goal is to bring them to zero, eliminating the Threats and rescuing the villages.

Making Post-Apocalypse Road Terrain

Greetings, humans!

Today, because this is what I do sometimes, I'm going to show you how I made some post-apocalypse themed road segments.

Please to enjoy.

Hardwired: Cyberpunk Mayhem!

It seems like skirmishy solo games are all the rage lately, and that works for me, since I don't have a lot of victims friends to try new 15mm games on.  I also, for some reason, like the cyberpunk genre for these sorts of things (witness the terrain).

So, eventually I picked up Hardwired, with the hope that it would be a cool solo cyberpunk game experience.  (Unfortunately, the awesome cover didn't actually come as part of the PDF.  I am sad.) 

Anyway, here's how it turned out:

Blood in Space(...ace...ace..ace...)!

Blood.
In.
SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaace!

So, @Dutch_Law implied that I should try out Blood In Space.  I already owned it, but hadn't played it yet (after all, I have plenty of games to play already).  Blood In Space is a solo or cooperative game of sci-fi shoot-em-up.  It comes with a few pregenerated characters, but you can make your own.  It also has a campaign system of interlocking scenarios, which is nice for a solo game.

This is Not a Test: Cold Vengeance

This is not not "This is Not a Test".  As a matter of fact, it very much is "This is Not a Test" (TNT).  TNT is a post-apocalypse skirmish warband game.  I like to play in 15mm, though I think 28mm is the default.  It's a pretty cool game with some nice features and not a lot of fiddling with the numbers.  It also seems to have a robust campaign system that my friends and I are looking forward to starting.

Also, it's a post-apocalypse game, so I get to use my homemade "Red Rocket" terrain. :P

So, now that the end is here, let's get to the beginning.

DOOM SQUAD!

Doom Squad is a solo minis game from Alternative Armies.  I like solo games, so I definitely decided to give it a try.  I think it's kind of like a modern era "Sengoku".  You've got your little crew of guys, and you wander around the map encountering enemies and events.

I only played on session, and a very simple mission, but it seemed to be pretty fun (assuming that I'm even playing it correctly, more on that later).

Anyway, here we go.
