http://cheaphammer.blogspot.com/2015/05/resistance-isnt-futilei-hope.html
One gamer's guide to wargaming on a budget. Sunday, 17 May 2015. Resistance Isn't Futile.I Hope! As I may have mentioned, I've been lured into building an army for Dropzone Commander from Hawk Wargames. Not only have I been tempted to start a whole new army, I've also ended up buying the starter set for the most expensive of the five armies that are currently available: the all-resin-no-plastic Resistance. 17 May 2015 at 10:38. Ill be watching how you get on! 17 May 2015 at 10:53. 18 May 2015 at 11:39.

Cheaphammer!!!: July 2014
http://cheaphammer.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
One gamer's guide to wargaming on a budget. Thursday, 31 July 2014. We've started yet another project. A couple of weeks ago, Matt, Wes and I went to the Joy of Six wargames show in Sheffield. It was organised by Wargames Emporium and Bacchus Miniatures and was a show focused on 6mm gaming. I've painted my first brigade: four regiments and a command stand. Overall, I'm really happy with them. The flags are from Warflags and resized to fit 6mm. Wes has also begun his rebellion with some skirmishers. G...

Cheaphammer!!!: Escape to Victor-Z...
http://cheaphammer.blogspot.com/2015/04/escape-to-victor-z.html
One gamer's guide to wargaming on a budget. Friday, 3 April 2015. Apologies for the appalling pun, but I was struggling to find a title that linked my most recent progress. First up, I've finished off the two remaining models from the Arkham Lunatics pack, the serial killer Victor Zsasz, and the awkwardly named File No 08923. These have been sat half-finished in the paint queue for well over a month as I found them quite daunting for different reasons. 3 April 2015 at 11:17. 4 April 2015 at 02:52. Id lov...

Cheaphammer!!!: May 2015

One gamer's guide to wargaming on a budget. Friday, 29 May 2015. Operation Unthinkable: Dropzone Commander. So this month I set myself the goal of completing my brand spanking new Resistance starter set for Dropzone Commander, and I'm pleased to say that I've been successful with a few days to spare. As I'm aiming at completing six projects in that time, I should be able to spend when I need to, and it's always good to have a little pressure to post. Tuesday, 26 May 2015. Boots On The Ground. As the end ...

Cheaphammer!!!: SWAT's the Problem
http://cheaphammer.blogspot.com/2015/04/swats-problem.html
One gamer's guide to wargaming on a budget. Saturday, 11 April 2015. With the Easter holidays coming to an end, so is my unpainted pile of Batman miniatures and terrain. Almost the last in the queue were my two Blackgate Prisoners and the MDF Police Van. And now on to the SWAT van. However, I can say without a hint of doubt, this was the worst. Despite my best attempt to clean up the pieces, it's also left some of the edges looking quite rough, which you can see on the front fender. What's more, it a...

Cheaphammer!!!: September 2014
http://cheaphammer.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
One gamer's guide to wargaming on a budget. Monday, 29 September 2014. Zomtober Reborn (on a Monday). It's that time of year again, when the noxious undead claw and clamber their way out of lead piles across the globe and shamble into the pale light of the blogosphere. The basics are this:. Paint some zombies or survivors each week of Zomtober. Post them on your blog before the Sunday of each week. Yes, I'm aware that it's actually the Hulk miniature from Knight Models, but I've been being creative.

Trials of a Casual War gamer: April 2016
http://trialsofacasualwargamer.blogspot.com/2016_04_01_archive.html
Trials of a Casual War gamer. Saturday, 30 April 2016. Got the Terrain Bug Again! After my Amera Plastics terrain I subscribed to the channel that helped me paint them. It's Lukes Affordable Paint Service. That's the Facebook link he is on YouTube also. He aims at finding cheap but good alternatives to painting and terrain making. On one video he had found a cheap water effect from Poundland! After the filler I sanded down a lot of the edges making it a touch smoother. Then it was into painting! Next u...

Trials of a Casual War gamer: January 2017
http://trialsofacasualwargamer.blogspot.com/2017_01_01_archive.html
Trials of a Casual War gamer. Wednesday, 25 January 2017. A few blog posts ago I mentioned while at a model shop in Wales I had bought a church from the excellent Amera Plastics. 160; After finishing my airbourne force for bolt action I have started to build the church. The church was simple to put together requiring a bit of cutting but nothing major and stuck together great with poly cement. The assembled church (the green stuff is down to my poor cutting than the product lol). Carved with a pen.

Trials of a Casual War gamer. Friday, 30 September 2016. Last Tuesday it was my birthday or as I'm getting on a bit I prefer level up (can't take the gamer out of me). My beautiful wife had bought me the star wars rebellion board game. Where you play the struggle for the galaxy one team rebels other the empire. You build fleets and even death stars! To take over the galaxy. Once the post man brings it I'll post some pics. I also reciced the bolt action rule book so a while new game to learn! No modellin...

Trials of a Casual War gamer: February 2016
http://trialsofacasualwargamer.blogspot.com/2016_02_01_archive.html
Trials of a Casual War gamer. Tuesday, 23 February 2016. Yesterday I recieved some shiny plastic tokens for Across the Dead Earth. I had noticed them on dead earth games demo games so asked in the Facebook group and for a nice price the man who designed them for Dead Earth games made a eunbup for me and a few others. They are really nice and add a bit more to the game. 160; . Monday, 15 February 2016. They came out fairly easy and look really good I think. Sunday, 14 February 2016. The main reason I l...
