Another new project: building a portable Bloodbowl pitch. I’m using Hirst Arts blocks, extruded foam, and acrylic paint so far.

Campaign Resource tokens

Resources table

Resource tokens legend

The Darkness in Glücksheim campaign is not based solely on controlling territories. It implements resource acquisition rules for warbands. Each territory under control by a warband can produce specific resources (pictured as resource tokens) as long as manpower is allocated to it. A reward is obtained every time a warband accumulate enough tokens of a particular type on the resource table. This reward can be an item, a henchman, an advance, etc. These rewards will be revealed as the campaign unfold.

Darkness in Glücksheim campaign (Mordheim)

Location: City of Glücksheim

A sphere of impenetrable darkness suddenly appeared in the middle of the city on the fourth night of the second month following the fall of Mordheim.

Blitzkrieg Commander and Axis & Allies miniatures - Part 1

BKC stands with AAMBKC HQ stand

You might remember that I’m planning to play Blitzkrieg Commander with Axis & Allies Miniatures. BKC rulebook was ordered last week and should arrive soon. Now I needed armies. Therefore, I started my project of putting together a number of stands using A&AM pieces. The first image shows my progress so far. The second image is a close-up of an HQ unit. I might post a step-by-step tutorial of how I did it eventually (once I’m done of course!).

Basing standards used:

Infantry - 50×25mm

Mortar + MMG - 40×25mm

Small ATG - 30×25mm

HQ + large ATG - 40×40mm

CO - 50×50mm

I haven’t decided yet if I’m going to base tanks (30×50mm) and vehicles (25×50mm) .
