Hey, all! Just wanted to share my tattoo story with everyone. Earlier this summer, I heard that Stan Lee was going to be at Dragon*Con. After careful consideration, I decided that I was going to get a tattoo to commemorate the occasion. This was my first tattoo and I wanted it to be something...

So... the powers that be have decided that Wonder Woman needs a new costume and a new backstory. Unveiling Wonder Woman's New Costume Direction Here's the new costume: ...and here are some other costume's she's worn over the years, for historical perspective: Personally, I'm not crazy...

Oyez! Oyez! Oyez! Let the word go forth from this time and place that we intend to have a tournament in Raleigh, North Carolina! Let the word go forth that we intend to have this tournament on Sunday, July 25th! Let all within the sound of my voice know, here and now, that the tournament shall...

So I ran across this Batman D&D Alignment chart a while back, and I thought it was great. The other day I decided that there ought to be an equivalent chart for Superman. What's that you say? Superman is only ever Lawful Good? Oh, how wrong you are! Behold! All Superman quotes and pictures...

Just got back from a round of board gaming at which two parallel games of Battlestar Galactica: The Board Game (with Pegasus Expansion) were being run. The first game (the one in which I was playing) was over in about 30 minutes, with dead humans. The second game took closer to five hours, and...

Just showing off a bunch of dice towers I made, dedicated to the various generals. First up: Jandar!

Just wanted to give people a heads-up on a new blog, Robot Viking, with a focus on board games. Hasn't mentioned anything about HS, yet, but he does take a look at the collapse Wizkids. Board gaming community, assemble!

Trying out some repaints. I started with my spare Mimring, and am planning on moving on to making my spare Grimnak look less like poopy and more like awesome. Grimnak Eventually I'm going to make a squad of 4th Mass into a squad of Green Mountain Boys. Vermont for the win!

Hearing about how 'Scape is distributed, and talking to a FLGS owner, I was hoping to get answers to some questions about the current distribution model. As I understand it, distributors, whether they be WalMart or FLGSes, order the small boosters as complete waves, and the large packs in...

At a tournament a while back someone was fighting with an army worth less than the agreed tournament size, and it prompted a heated discussion. This wasn't a big gap-- let's say that the tournament was 540 pts., and the army was 535. It was a Swiss-style tourney, and the scoring system awarded...

"The time has come," Granite-M said, "To talk of many things: Of dice--and doggins--and sealing-wax-- Of Minions--with their wings-- And why the Sea is Molten hot-- And whether Marro have stings." It's that time again-- the time when the ancient stirrings of blood lust have begun to awaken in...

Quick question: is there any index / thread devoted to the best non-tournament maps or scenarios? If not, ought not there be one? It seems that the BoV is a fantastic resource for finding well-balanced tournament maps, but there's no equivalent for maps that don't meet the tournament standard...

A lot of H.P. Lovecraft influence, here. The tower itself is made out of a very sturdy cardboard mailing tube... as in I had to cut it with a hack saw. Totally worth it. Some of the detailing I did with Marblex air-drying model clay, which I do not recommend, as it tends to crack upon drying...

Despite repeated searches under several different terms, I've had no luck locating a map I'm looking for, so here I am. Can't remember who made the map, but it's a giant robot scenario, where the robot is built out of a Fortress expansion. I remember that the door acts as the robot's...

So, having toyed with the idea like unto a sadistic, OCD-afflicted cat with a palsied mouse, we're finally getting this ball rolling. The proposed dates are May 17th or 18th official date is Saturday, May 24th. The location is Amazing Tales comic book store, in the Mission Valley shopping...

So, I came up with this means of laying out multiple permutations on an army theme. You start with your key, central unit / bunch of units that are the core of your army, and then you lay out all the possible add-ons to that central group (mainly the good / useful ones). It winds up looking sort...

Was feeling inspired by the Watchmen movie, so I decided to make a set: Watchmen Customs: Finally finished my paintjobs, too! W00t! Linky to DA. Of course all of these figures require cutting, grinding, and repainting, to various degrees. Shaving all the extra bits off of the Dreadnought...

I'm curious as to what other people's experiences are with the most HS you can reasonably carry around from place to place. I've currently got 1.5 RotV's, 1 SotM, 1 Marvel, 1 Tundra, 1 Fortress, and about 1/2 of all the character expansions. All of this fits into a fairly large locking tub...
