  • Doctor Who Miniature Game

    Posted on August 6th, 2007 Highland_Piper No comments

    I had the chance to play the free Doctor Who Miniature Game this weekend.  It has been a while since a game has had me this excited!

    The rules found here are free to download.  You can play mass pitched battles but this game is more focused on the story line and the ability to recreate your favorite episodes!

    The rules are quick and simple and I have a brief write up with pictures here.  You can get Doctor Who miniatures from Black Tree Miniatures.  You can also get some paper miniatures from here

    If you have some free time I highly recommend this game!

    Two powerhouses of pop culture are collaborating, as McFarlane Toys announces a licensing agreement with Microsoft to produce action figures based on the hit video game series Halo®. Halo 3 is scheduled to arrive in stores later this year.

The first title in the series, Halo: Combat Evolved, was the flagship title for Microsoft's Xbox video game console when it was released in 2001. The game achieved both critical acclaim and financial success, selling more than 6 million copies worldwide.

    It only took one ring to rule them all. Looks like one lawsuit will cover them as well.

    Fifteen New Zealand-based actors who appeared in various incarnations throughout the course of the Lord of the Rings trilogy have filed suit against New Line Cinema, claiming some creative accounting on the studio's behalf has ripped them off of their cut in an estimated $100 million in profits from movie merchandise.

  • Painting Orks (Orcs)

    Posted on May 20th, 2007 Rob No comments

    A simple question asked on our message board (what colour is an Ork?) lead to a group effort on describing how they each painted thier respective Orks.

    Of course, no guide would be complete without referring to the Games Workshop “Getting Started guide to painting Orks“.
