Wargaming Tradecraft: Weekly Update

Last Week at Wargaming Tradecraft

Welp, back to work. There was an update on my Hordeblood Warlocks, followed by a post with the complete photos. For some meat, I posted an article on pigments that I'm quite happy about.

Gaming

There's a preview of the new X-Wing miniatures game played by Darth Vader and a Storm Trooper. It's got a really interesting movement mechanic... but the camera man should be shot.

I'm glad you link to so much artwork. It's an aspect that often gets overlooked, in that players don't need to create it themselves. There's a lot of demand for artists these days too, with all the self-publishing going on.

Yeah, there's a fair amount of really good artwork on DA and it's something unseen generally in the blogosphere. I'd /like/ there to be nice minis on there too, but alas, there typically aren't.
