I am a metal-head. Have been since I was old enough to crawl. I am also a major Iron Maiden fan. So when the miniature versions of Eddie were announced, I jumped. Thus this crossover series of Metal and Acrylic Paint was born.
I did it everyone. I painted a few models. In a month. Bare with me a minute while I pat myself on the back and try to avoid looking my shame pile in the eyes… not awkward…
Board Games from the Attic is a series based on games played during those formative years.

I always wanted a Star Wars miniatures game ever since Micro Machines released their Star Wars line seemingly forever ago. I finally got it with this.

It was inevitable that once I saw a board game based on the Aliens franchise, which at first glance appeared to be like my beloved game Space Hulk, I was going to own it.

Another year has gone by. Indeed, another year down the crapper. I have a hard time imagining that anyone can look back and feel particularly good about 2021. The pandemic seems to have gained momentum, current events were miserable, disturbing or both, and people are clearly tired of it all. What an utter dumpster fire.
