The Star Wars Shatterpoint Adepticon reveals were seen this weekend, and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised--but still concerned.
I have two issues with Star Wars Shatterpoint, both of which were addressed, but only one convincingly so.
The first issue I have with Star Wars Shatterpoint is that I have been afraid, given…
We've talked before about why Warhammer is so expensive, and we've talked about how to wargame on a budget, but today I want to look at Warhammer compared to other wargames and see how it holds up. I got interested in this topic for two reasons: first, because someone was remarking on how expensive model-for-model…
On this website it's no secret that we talk a lot about Games Workshop, but what about wargames that aren't from Games Workshop? There's Warhammer 40k on the left hand side of the scroll, and Games Workshop just below the fold.
And make no mistake--I absolutely love a lot of the Games Workshop games. While…
Inexpensive wargaming seems to be a myth. Miniature wargaming is a hobby that involves collecting, assembling, painting, and playing with miniature figures and terrain to simulate battles and other military scenarios. It can be a lot of fun, but it can also be expensive, especially when you're just getting started. However, with a little bit…
It has been a LONG time since I posted a Hobby Streak article, but that doesn't mean that the Hobby Streak hasn't been going strong. I have been painting busily, a little bit of this and a little bit of that. And with this article I hope to catch up with what I've been working…

In an effort to keep this article brief I’m not going to break down every one of these by every category, but I am going to keep them all in…
Amazon is seen by many people as a great thing–they make so many things easily accessible to so many people at great prices. But they’re also seen as a villain. This probably has something to do with the fact that they’re one of the biggest companies in the world, as well as the many reports…
The Star Wars Legion: Shadow Collective Starter Set caught my attention for one big reason: it’s not from the movies. I’ve been wondering for a long time what Atomic Mass Games was going to do about expanding Star Wars Legion, because they seemed like they had already covered almost all of the bases. They had…
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…
Star Wars Legion miniatures are some of the most fun minis to paint, and an interesting thing has been happening in my area. I have two FLGSs that I frequent (there are probably eight to eleven in my metro area, but two within ten minutes of my house) and I've noticed a big thing: they…
