Mini tutorial: Urban wasteland bases

As requested by a visitor to the site, here are 6 simple steps to create the bases that I've shown in my previous imagery. I selected 6 models to show each stage of the process.

To begin, add some sand or similar to the base. You can either glue it on with PVA and then paint a watery later of glue on top once it has dried, or use superglue if you want to get the job done quick. Add the sand in patches by applying small areas of glue and then dipping the model's base into your tray of sand.

Miniature companies, heed our call!

If we are facing in the right direction, all we have to do is keep on walking.  ~Buddhist Saying

With a few tutorials and reviews under our belt it's time to add a little order to the chaos! Our intention with MyWargame has been to deliver a gamer's perspective of our hobby from army conception to building and painting your models and finally playing with your forces and the metagame.

Product review: Maxmini – Feral Heads

Hot off the anvil this week, the Polish mail swifty delivered us a pack of Maxmini's newly released Feral heads. With the poll for next company to review clearly showing Maxmini as favourite, this review seemed inevitable.

Maxmini continue to produce highly detailed and well cast bits for all our custom model builds. The latest release from their 'heads' section are the Feral heads pack. Priced at almost £1 each they are quite a pricy investment for just a head, but as you will see below, the quality and scale of these heads perfectly complement your models and with minimal effort.

Introducing: Kabuki Models

Kabuki models was founded last year in Italy by a group of friends, including a wargaming fanatic and a comic artist. Their original intention was to create a storyline, evolving characters and concepts from ideas that have been in development for almost 10 years. With hopes of a miniature range, skirmish-sized game, comic strips and other merchandise, they set upon fleshing out their plans and the company.
