DW Carry Case

I've been cutting foam and some cardboard to fit the ten dollar pistol case I bought from a discount retailer to carry my Imperial fleet and armored force to the Game Vault.

The new human imperial ships coming out for Uncharted Seas feature some topgallant sails... more sails all around.  Now it's time for me to begin learning how to rig model ships in earnest.

Ship Revisions

I'm very pleased with the new CAD for the Imperial Human battleship.  The existing models look great, but this one looks even more worthy.  And the forecastle looks great.


And the stern has plenty of detail as well.

Paper Steampunk Boats




I discovered paper miniatures.  More specifically, I discovered the Junior General site which offers a variety of historical simulations and paper miniatures in an effort to pull kids into the hobby.  In the teen gaming event at the local library last month my usual US opponent set up a demo game but didn't attract much attention.  I'm thinking now, however, that using ships from something like the old WizKids Pirates collectible card game or maybe some simple paper models and with simple rules (more simple than US?  well, it's possible) for the next event.  The paper models is also inspiring me to try my own hand at modelling some new designs for US and DW.

More Dystopian than Uncharted

I've hammered out the final draft of the campaign guide, and I've spent more time painting scout rotor flyers than dragonsail ships.  All because I can find a few more opponents for DW around.

Becalmed

Absolutely no games played the past few weeks, but the DW group is coming together, linked by a new forum.  And I've been painting, modifying some model ships from an older game as escorts.

A Strange Fleet in Cold Waters

A few months ago when I couldn't visit the game store often enough to keep my painting desk lined up with new ship models, I tried my hand at modelling some Bone Griffons.
I've since retrieved them from a top shelf with the intention of trying again to see if I can improve this fleet with better sculpts.
