Had some fun playing Wings of War with miniatures from the first 12 planes produced by Nexus. The detail on the aircraft was excellent and using models, rather than car, certainly adds to the mobile game. I took a couple of photos, which can be viewed here: Wings of War Gallery
The Agent of Ping has pulled together a new set of articles for CARPS which include resources for 6mm Hordes of the Things (HOTT) wargames and a miniature painting guide for the little 6mm figures. Have a look at the articles here: 6mm HOTT
I have completed a short PDF painting guide for a Battletech wargames miniature, mostly using Games Workshop Foundation paints. The PDF includes photos and comments through the various stages of painting. The Archer mech is used for the Classic Battletech game but the guide could be used to help any painting technique or genre of miniature hobby.

This week we played a Killzone (wargame by Nick Lund) tabletop wargame in 15mm using some Ainsty Downbelow terrain. The game was based on Mars and we used some Infected human types on a Martian research base as foes for the military sqauds arriving on the planet.
I have created a short background and rules for use of the Infected in Killzone. You can download the A5 PDF of Infected human details here:
