A Fast Project: Armored Troopers Paint Schemes

Here are some paint schemes I'm considering. I was searching for armored futuristic types to paint some old VOID Prosthene Marines and was delightfully surprised with the variety of Star Wars clone trooper armor schemes out there. And to think Darth Vader's mooks wore just plain white...


Here's a quick mockup I made form one of the pictures. Basic white? With red trim or blue? I'm still undecided what to use. We'll see...

  1. I like the red and white scheme in the 2nd row. I would paint mine like that, if it was me :)

  2. Thanks Claus. I'm still on the fence about the schemes... some of the patterns make them look like american football players, especially the ones with the stripes on the helmet. Anyway, will see... btw, nice collection at your blog!

Major General Tremorden Rederring's Colonial-era Wargames Page

A bit of nostalgia here. I'm gearing up for a weekend of working on my wargame table and was surfing for inspiration. Happily, I rediscovered Major General Tremorden Rederring's Colonial-era Wargames at the Wayback Machine. This wargaming group's been a source of inspiration ever since I discovered the wonderful world of miniature wargaming. Just look at that picture above and tell me you're not impressed.

A veritable treasure chest of miniature gaming gems, the page embodied the FUN side of miniature gaming, neither taking itself too seriously nor scrimping on the joys of the hobby and its subsidiary hobbies/crafts. It's a pity if such a wonderful resource and such a huge contribution to the hobby is lost. I discovered the page waaaay back...

Battle Report: Blood on the Grass; First Mighty Armies Game

"May the Morrigan feast well today, and not on my innards!" For weeks, Keltoi scouts have followed the advance of an orcish host from the deep south. Now, the green horde of monsters have reached the outermost village of the Keltoi Irinae tribe. With only a vast grassy field separating the monsters from the village, Brogda and the Keltoi weaponsmen he could muster plan to meet the invaders at the village edge and hold them until reinforcing  Irinae from other villages arrive. The women and children have left the village together with half the scouts two days past and reinforcements should be arriving this morning. "They better be bringing their chariots and horsemen," Cumal said to the brooding Brogda. " The orcs have wolves...  and trolls." "Balor ...
