Last time the Aztec and Tarascan forces met, the Tarascans proved no match for the mighty Aztec Empire. Will this time prove any different? The rules are To The Strongest, the miniatures 10mm Pendraken and the generals are both...well...me. The Aztecs just about edge the scouting tests so the Tarascans begin deployment and the Aztecs … Continue reading Battle Report – Down Mexico Way
It's been a pretty busy month this month in work and real life, but painting has provided some welcome distractions. The Pendraken painting competition was running this month and I decided to challenge myself to enter something into every category, which involved painting new units for each of them, except the army category given I'd … Continue reading Progress Update – February 2021
I recently finished up the Aztec and Tarascan armies I wanted to use my day off to get them on the table for a battle. The rules are To the Strongest. The armies arrayed for battle. Tarascans on the left, Aztecs on the right. The black tokens indicate ammunition, so as you can see the … Continue reading Battle Report – Aztecs vs Tarascans
It's a whole Mess o' Americans! Puns aside, I finally got around to photographing my Aztec and Tarascan armies that I recently completed. These were a stack of fun to paint, and I plan to expand them in future and include new armies for the period too but I'm putting them to rest for a … Continue reading Is it an eagle? Is it a jaguar? No…
A new year is upon us. The past couple of months have been a bit hectic in real life so the hobby has been going in fits and starts and very little was done in December. January has been more productive though. I decided that since I had completed my Aztecs, I wanted to put … Continue reading Projects Update December 2020 and January 2021
After a quiet month in September on the hobby front (due to being very busy on the real life front), I've been making the most of November to partake in hobby activities. As well as finishing off the Qin and Chu armies, I got in two games with them using To the Strongest which was … Continue reading Projects Update – November 2020
September hasn't been a particularly productive month for hobby stuff. Real life has been busy trying to put the house up on the market and find somewhere to move to so have had to pack most of my hobby stuff away and do a lot of 1:1 scale work instead. A few bits from earlier … Continue reading Projects Update – September 2020
August was a busy month in real life so hobby progress has been slow. Been clearing the house and packing things away in preparation for putting the house on the market, as well as having a number of family events and a pleasant break with a few days away. Managed to get a few pieces … Continue reading Projects Update – August 2020
Been able to keep things reasonably productive this month. Even got in a couple of games, some thinking around various projects and plenty of ideas for more projects in future. I've still been mostly using a dice roll to determine what my next piece of painting will be, though upped from a d6 to a … Continue reading Projects Update – July 2020
It's been a while since I posted any progress updates so this is a bit of a summary of what I've been up to the past 6-8 months. There's a fair bit more not pictured as they've still to be based, but those should be done in the near future. First up some new command … Continue reading Projects Update – May 2020
