I thought I was the only one. I thought that my FLGS had gotten in a box of mislabeled Agrax Earthshade, and that I kept getting bad batch after bad batch. Every time that I used Agrax Earthshade--that was straight Agrax Earthshade, not Agrax Earthshade Gloss--it was always glossy. It was ruining my models. Sure,…

I heard about this fundraiser from Jeremy on Black Magic Craft, and I want to make it clear that I am not involved in it in any way.…
How Do You Get Started in the Hobby Side of Bolt Action?
Getting started with any miniatures games hobby is going to have its challenges, but there’s something that’s unique to historical wargaming that you don’t run into with something like Warhammer 40k. With Warhammer, very few people are going to be complaining that your…
Getting started in Age of Sigmar can be daunting if you’ve never been involved in miniature wargaming before. Warhammer is a big hobby, and entering into Age of Sigmar, which is Games Workshop’s fantasy realm, can be intimidating. So to ease you into it, here are all of the hobby essentials for getting started in…

The Warhammer 40k hobby is one of the things, if not the main thing, that a majority of Warhammer 40k players like the most. Whether it is collecting, building or painting miniatures, or collecting, building and painting terrain, it's fair to say that the average Warhammer 40k fan spends FAR more of their time on…

So I've created an auction for you.

Turnip28
The first model I painted this week was an experiment into Turnip28, a completely unhinged game that is more of an aesthetic than a game. I mean, Turnip28 has rules (which you can access here on creator Max FitzGerald's Patreon), but the point of the game is not the game. FitzGerald has said in…
Hobby motivation in the wargaming hobby can be hard sometimes. I know that I've experienced it a little in the face of the current war in Ukraine, as the whole situation has soured me to the thought of guns and tanks. (I had been working on a Death Korps of Krieg army and decided to…
