Project Musings and the End of an Era...
Hi!
Well I'm now into the fourth year of running this blog and over that time my hobby has changed from 28mm scale mass battle to skirmishing in 15mm scale.
Likewise my games themselves have changed from lining up and killing each other to a more RPG lite approach with characters and warbands developing over time, especially my beloved Dwarven Boar Company. If they fight now, there is reason for it with a scenario to liven things up and its genuinely more fun to play this way!
This brings me onto my next subject. The direction I have found myself going with my project has left that of supporting the game Leviathan and moved into something else. I have been sculpting my own miniatures for a while now and am really enjoying the process as at last I have the figures that I want but as more and more folks show interest in them I want to be able to cast them up and sell them so that others can have the fun of painting and gaming with them too.
To do this I think its high time that I started a new blog to concentrate on my own sculpts and background which will be developed as and when I get the chance!
This blog will continue with all my old school stuff but I think I must face that my Leviathan project has now run its course and wont be receiving any more of my time. Its a bit of an end of an era as I have been a fan of the game ever since it was released back in the day but times change and I think its high time I made the move to a new blog!
All the best and thanks to all the folks who have spent time perusing my demented mutterings and hopefully I will be able to get the new blog sorted out ASAP and will post it here so folks can nip over and take a peek if they fancy!

More Sculpts!
Hi!
As a bit of a thank you for all the page views and watchers over the last couple of years I thought I would post a few more previews of my sculpts!
Hopefully I will be able to get the little fellows cast up over the next few months. Some still need a little bit of work but I am quite pleased with how they are looking so far and give a good range of random sci-fi and fantasy sculpts to keep folks entertained!
All the best!

Assorted Sculpts!
Hi!
You may have spotted some of my sculpts over on my SPACECOW SMITH blog. They are part of the first planned release for my own miniatures range and I thought I would post some pictures of them here too:
The Carnosaurs will soon be getting a couple more companions as will the Dwarves, including a heavily armoured leader!
All the best!

The Druid Pack of Yellowstone!
Hi!
I just sat and watched a really fascinating documentary about the Druid Wolf Pack of Yellowstone Park in the USA.
I just sat and watched a really fascinating documentary about the Druid Wolf Pack of Yellowstone Park in the USA.
I would highly recommend giving the programme a watch too! Its available HERE on BBC iplayer as its really rather interesting despite being a few years old.
Members of the Druid Pack
I was struck by how intelligent they are with a complex hierarchy and the almost tribe like pack with its grizzled alphas who lead them I thought it would be a really interesting project to collect up a couple of small packs of wolves and run a bit of a mordheim type of campaign with them. Theres enough skullduggery, politicking and thrilling chases to keep any gamer entertained!
For example initial packs will be small with only a couple of wolves who must survive the winter months by hunting and establishing their territories. Experience could be gained by surviving, bringing down game or beating off opposing packs.
Yellowstone During Winter
In the summer months when game is easier to find pups will be born and provide new members. In this way the packs will develop and evolve and gain new abilities and quirks.
It would involve getting some wolf miniatures along with an assortment of coyotes, elk, moose, bears and other bits and bobs, possibly with the occasional human hunter to liven things up a bit.
Bison
Has anyone else had a bash at anything similar? I would be interested to hear your opinions as it would make for a rather unique game and give an opportunity to make some really nice terrain too as Yellowstone has some truly inspiring landscapes!
All the best!
