A hobby blog documenting my progress into model making and miniature painting for table top wargames. Models and reports for games like Beyond the Empire, Setting the East Ablaze, and Fist Full of Lead. And also the occasional posts about fishies.

My fishy guy being all grumpy. He's doing great, got some wonderful photos of him recently. Remember, wargaming hobby stuff, and fish.
One of my favorite armored cars is ready for service with my White Russians. The garford putilov is armed with a 75mm cannon and 3 maxim machine guns. This one is far from home and hasn't seen any service in a long time, but still it chugs onwards in the memory of the Tsar and the name of Imperial Russia! A sneak peek at my White Russian Force.
I've been working on all this in earnest since last August, terrain, lore, armies, everything organized for Fistful of Lead, and Beyond the Empire. Some day.. some day I'll have enough army men for Setting the East Ablaze. Anyways, an introduction. The province of Xiao Yú, a microcosm of the struggles of Greater China, is a small forgotten land, tucked away somewhere north of Beijing, near the Mongolian Border, neighbor enough to Manchuria, somewhere in the lands of Rehe and inner Mongolia. The province takes it's name from the Xiao Yú River, an equally forgotten tributary that snakes off the northern hump of the Yellow River, past Shanxi and into the lands beyond.

Some say that it was the Germans who originally erased it from the maps around the time of the Boxer Rebellion, not in the typical Germanic fashion mind you - nothing was burned down - but rather, that their in...

The idea is that this could be a poorly trained and armed swarm or hoard. Fistful of Lead focuses around squad based skirmish combat, and your typical squad has 5 models. The leader, specialist, and three regulars and you can swap out one regular for a group of grunts. However there are several squad variants allowing things like a exchanging all five of your guys for four specialists, or in this case, for four groups of grunts and one leader. It's a great system, if you've never played it check it out. (7$ pdf!) Here are the three heroes or leaders, my apologies as they're a bit washed out. Two Chinese on either end and a European Mercenary in the center. He's not terribly thrilled wit...
