Latest AT-43 / Confrontation Releases
I received the latest releases from Rackham Entertainment’s AT-43 and Confrontation lines this weekend. They released two boxes for the Cog army, the Cog Recon Strider and the Stealthy Stalkers. The Recon Strider comes with multiple weapon configurations with, is pretty cool actually. Some thoughts on the figures. The Stalkers look really cool all invisible. [...]
Sabol Army Transport
I picked up a couple of Sabol basic troop bags. I am VERY impressed with the quality of this product. The price for this bag was around 60 bucks and came loaded with foam. This foam is a very ridged high quality pluck and pull foam. You can hold a tray in one hand and [...]
Space Hulk
I’ve been collecting board games lately to add to my At Home Gaming. I broke out the Space Hulk box a few days ago and cracked it open. For those unfamiliar with the game is a remake from their Games Workshop’s 1980′s title. I never played the old version, but the new version is fantastic. [...]
GW Figure Case
I recently picked up two GW figure cases. The hard plastic, large briefcase looking cases. The good thing about these cases are that they are rather large. That’s about the only nice thing about them. They are pretty awful for hauling figures around. Let me explain. When you open the case you’ll notice on the [...]
Interview with Battle Foam’s Romeo
This is the first of a series of interviews I’m doing with notable people in the Mini Gaming Universe. If you haven’t heard of Battle Foam then you haven’t been paying much attention for the last 18 months or so. The topic of Battle Foam has shown up in almost every mini gaming news site [...]
Metal Figures
As most of you know I got started in mini gaming with AT-43 and Confrontation from Rackham. They are both pre painted plastic miniatures. When I discovered the game Warmachine, it was so fantastic that I decided I’d give the hobby aspect of the game a try. It was a rewarding experience for me to [...]
Fortress of Redemption
I put together the Fortress of Redemption last night. I have seen Beasts of War do their build video and was impressed by the scale of this Fortress, but was actually surprised by how large this model actually is. It was fairly easy to build with a lot of larger pieces that all fit together [...]
Confrontation: Ram
I cracked open all the new releases of the Ram Army that were released this month and set them up for a photo shoot. These pictures are representing all the current Ram releases that came out this January. I am very happy with how they turned out. I have been anticipating this army for quite [...]
First Confrontation Game
I played my first Confrontation game tonight. It was Lions Battlebox vs the Wolven Battlebox. This is my first game of Confrontation, and as there are no rules experts around me, I had to plug away at it on my own. There is an awful lot to remember (like most games I’m finding out). The [...]
Game Review: Confrontation
A game that I have been collecting now for a few years is Rackham Entertainments Confrontation: The Age of the Rag’Narok. I was first introduced to Mini Gaming by getting into Rackhams other game AT-43. Naturally, I decided to check out Confrontation as well. A bit of history first. Confrontation was the brain child of [...]
