Back from space ships to sea ships, I have another Black Seas model completed, also in Royal Navy colors. This time it's a 38-gun frigate, one of their models from the plastic range and provided in the starter set.

Space Din-O-Pinions | RIP to Star Wars Armada and X-Wing (Season of Scenery 2024)
This will be a sort of weird hybrid post. I'll be talking about my thoughts with the recent announcement that Armada and X-Wing are ceasing development, but nobody likes a wall of text, unless you're into books. But this isn't a book, and pictures are required, so I've gone ahead and interspersed my ramblings with photos of my painted Armada squadrons. So it does double duty for the Season of Scenery challenge as well.
Gaming | Mordheim Treasure Hunt
No, the warbands weren't given a list of clues to go hunting about the city. They had to find a chest, hidden amongst the ruins, and keep the other warband from finding it. This time my Restless Dead warband was up against the Pit Fighters.
Hobby | Black Seas Brig (Season of Scenery 2024)
With the Mordheim campaign in full swing now, Black Seas is taking a pause, but not before I finished painting one of their plastic ships, the dimunutive brig, this one in Royal Navy colors.
Gaming | Mordheim Map Campaign
The next Mordheim campaign has begun in my group! Now that we have the basics down, we're going a little fancier with this one. Now we're trying the map campaign from the book, and we have to take control of territories to gain bonuses. So off the Restless Dead go with zombies and skeletons in tow to further some eldritch end of the big liche in charge, who is still nameless because I'm terrible with names.
Hobby | Black Seas Schooner
Before I shift my attention back to Mordheim, I was able to pop out another model from Black Seas. This time it's a topsail schooner, which comes in a box of 6 with 3 variations. The models are all metal, which has some benefits when compared to the metal and resin from the previous ship, the Merchant Vessel.
Hobby | Black Seas Merchant Vessel
As I mentioned in the last post, I've begun dabbling with the world of historical miniatures. And by dabble I mean buy way too many ships, but that is a problem for future me. Current me is proud of the first ship out of the shipyard, a large Merchant Vessel from Warlord Games Black Seas.
Space Din-O-Pinions | New England Escapades
Hello all, it has been a little bit since I last had a post here, and apologies for not leaving any comments on all of your blogs. I've been out on a much needed vacation, touring about the New England coast. Now that I'm back, fully refreshed, I'm ready to get back into the hobby groove, but with some new additions on the horizon.
Gaming | The Mordheim Finale
The warbands have all grown mighty in the last few weeks, and so we look to bring this open campaign to a close. Mostly because now we know who the main core of players are, and so we can start a proper map campaign. But also for the fun of it and as a chance for everyone to try new warbands! And what better way to close it off than with a 4 player free-for-all winner-takes-all deathmatch.
Hobby | Something a Little Different
I've recently passed around the sun a total of 30 times, so now that I have become an old man, it's time for my hobby to get serious. I don't have kids yet though, so I'm legally not allowed to get into historical wargaming yet. This model was a gift from a friend, from the Lindberg line of models, not that I know what that means. This guy is an XB-70, the supersonic strategic bomber the US Air Force came up with back in the golden age of aviation.
