Out of Storage Part 2: Steppe-ing out

I brought out more of my 28mm miniatures and next thing I know, I'm having a session with my iPhone.  I got out my 2x2 Mini-Terrain Table with clouded skyline backdrop and started snapping.

Taking out my minis from being mothballed (stored) for a few years.

Couldn't resist adding the Alien

Same same with Dr Doom and Cap

Space Hulk

I'm back...

Hello out there! It's been a couple of years since my last post on my Royal British Marines (28mm) to complement, skirmish and oppose my Caribbean Pirates. Life got in the way and fast forward to today, I realized that I need to get blogging again.

This post was drafted back in 2018 documenting a game day I had with a recently deceased gamer buddy and fellow blogger, Willy Schweis (aka Ltl Dad, Sturm_flieger and Veloci, his blogger avatars)Space Hulk. WE MISS YOU WILLY!

The Royal Navy Marines, Part 1

Last time I posted was all about the Pirates. Now for the Royal Navy, always a good unit to face off against those scurvy dogs, arrrrgghhhh!!!

Lots of reference photos to be had all over the net.

Nice visuals, as well from Disney's "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise.

Resin model wagons from Fenris Games.
Perfect for Pirates and other periods.
