Unboxing Darkhammer’s Bloodlust Tyrant
The last of the three models I got from Darkhammer is the biggest and baddest: the Bloodlust Tyrant. Don’t let the fact that he abbreviates to BLT make you think he’s a dainty morsel: he’s a monster. Yes, it’s more … Continue reading
Unboxing Darkhammer’s Monk With 1000 Hands
Here’s another one from the toy pile. This time it’s the Monk With A Thousand Hands, again from Darkhammer Miniatures. This model shares many similarities of packaging, detail of sculpting and quality of casting with the undead samurai. I won’t … Continue reading
Unboxing Darkhammer’s Undead Samurai
Following on from yesterday, here’s a look at the first of my Darkhammer goodies. I’ve started with the same one they started with: the mounted Undead Samurai in the middle of the picture below. Oh, and before we get started, … Continue reading
Darkhammer Miniatures

Review: DreadBall Team Dice
Funny things, dice. As a game designer I use the little chaps all the time – even the odd ones with more than the traditional number of sides. I’m not biased against any regular¹ polyhedron (they all have their place … Continue reading
Dropzone Commander Review: Post-Human Republic Starter Army Unboxing
This is the second starter set I’m looking at for the Dropzone Commander game from Hawk Wargames, and very pretty it is too. I’ll try not to repeat myself too much, so it might be worth you looking back at … Continue reading
Dropzone Commander Review: Shaltari Tribes Starter Army Unboxing
The Starter Armies are the smallest of the 3 sizes of pre-packaged army boxes for Dropzone Commander and all come with pretty similar sorts of things in. They also all weigh in at a little over 500 points, which is … Continue reading
