A QUICK WORD ON WHERE I AM WITH MY PAINTING AND GAMING 

As we reach the end of the first quarter of 2014 I've had a quick look over my Dystopian Wars collection - those fleets finished, those in progress and those still sitting in their boxes. The end of 2013 and the first two months of this year have seen my production line move as fast as ever, but what's next?

Metzger Is Always Watching

THE METZGER AUSF. B-CLASS ROBOT

The Big Guy himself, the Metzger is one of the most iconic units in Dystopian Wars. Even wargamers who don't like the aesthetic or setting of Dystopian Wars agree; the Metzger looks fantastic. In this post, I will take a closer look at the recently updated Metzger (the Ausf. B-class) and discuss it's place in the fleets of the Prussian Empire.

Rule The Skies

PAINTING AND USING TINY FLYER TOKENS

FSA Tiny Flyer Tokens

An integral part of your fleet whether it be Land, Sea or Air, the Tiny Flyer Tokens (TFTs) are often an overlooked aspect of the Dystopian Wars game. In this post, I will show off some of the tokens I have painted for various fleets and discuss my preferences in choosing colour schemes, the model designs and the different types of token. 

Unveiling the Eclipse

UNBOXING THE LATEST FLEET FOR DYSTOPIAN WARS - THE HONOURABLE ECLIPSE COMPANY

With their incredibly detailed airships, intriguing undersea bases and awesome giant gatling guns, the Eclipse Company looked too good to miss out. In an attempt to keep up with George and rule the skies, Good Friend Ben has invested in the Honourable Eclipse Company. Here, we look through the boxes and discuss some of the new models.

The Objective Approach

A QUICK WORD ON THE NEW BATTLEFIELD OBJECTIVE SET

I've been waiting for a set like this for some time - and now it's here on my gaming table. Awesome.

Solving The Puzzle

A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE TO PAINTING THE PRUSSIAN NAVY - Part Two

The second part of my self-aggrandising Painting Guide, this section actually shows how to paint the models! Remember to read Part One for the inspiration and intentions of the scheme.

A Slightly Darker Shade of Black

PAINTING THE BLACK WOLF MERCENARIES 

In this entry, I will discuss some of the colours and choices made when painting up my Black Wolf Mercenaries, how to avoid a "cartoonish" colour scheme and how painting black doesn't have to be boring.

Hunting Season!
