My miniature collection grows, thus I need storage. Since I already own a few cases from Tabletop Tyrant, such as my trusty Kingmaker (behind the books in the pic above), I was more than happy to see Tabletop’s newest addition, the Squire Plastic Figure Case. Pretty much the same size as Tabletop Tyrant’s “half-size” Kingmaker, it […]
People say Warhammer Fantasy is dead? Not in the Czech Republic, so much is certain. Admittedly, the people at Smrtihlav 2014 didn’t bring any dice or miniatures. They dressed up in full LARP-gear to battle it out in the Old World. Sources (and more pictures…. a lot more) Veverka983 Lucas Makovicka Martin Janca Warhammer @ Smrtihlav 2014 […]
The 40K fans at Dakkadakka have been busy, and DJGietzen in particular, drafting a new, updated (and improved!) allies matrix for the game of Warhammer 40K at this point in time. Grey – Battle Brothers Yellow - Allies of Convenience Blue – Desperate Allies (anybody else think this colour-codes make no sense?) Red – Come […]
Recently I received my Azure Forest expansion for DreadBall. Now I had a chance to play a game with the new cards and my new Veer-Myn team, resulting in a great little match. Here’s a little write-up of the game: A DreadBall Azure Forest Game Report! #1 – Pre-Game Before the game, I prepared the Dreadball card […]
Here’s a simple & fun 100 pts. Rebel Squadron for the X-Wing Miniatures game. I’ve recently started experimenting with the Imperial side in X-Wing, though I did originally start my collection with a few Rebel ships. This isn’t a “tournament-list” by any stretch. Quite the opposite, the main charm of the squadron below is that […]
Merry Christmas everyone. I hope you’ve all had some great days (and lots of wargaming-loot below the tree). I’ve been packing my things and getting ready for a nice week of winter-holiday. To truly unwind (and due to technical constraints), Pins of War as a whole is going on a week-long holiday. I’ll be checking […]
Early this month, I reviewed the Kingmaker “half-size” Figure Case from Tabletop Tyrant. It’s a good case to have, especially for packing my DreadBall, X-Wing and similar miniatures. For a proper wargaming army, their flagship Tyrant Figure case is probably the better choice, offering a lot more space for miniatures of all kinds. #1 – […]
Tired of hauling around your miniatures in cardboard or plastic boxes? I know I was. Enter the figure cases from Tabletop Tyrant, available over at Gifts for Geeks. The case in the picture above is the Kingmaker case from Tabletop Tyrant, which is the smaller (or “half-sized”) case for £28.70 (around US$ 45,-), configured however you […]
If you’re playing a (war)game, do you sometimes take back your moves? Or is any model you moved, any decision you made ironclad? Do you let your opponent’s go back and undo a stupid move? Do you allow them to “go back” if they forgot to move, shoot, etc.. with one of their units? A […]
If you spend time reading miniature wargaming blogs or forums in the past year or two, you may have come across arguments that look like this one: “Game X has too much randomness. There is no point playing – no “player-skill” involved in playing – when arbitrary dice rolls decide the whole game.“ “Game X […]
