Fistful of Lead News

How cute are these guys? I saw them on KMFP_Designs on Myminifactory and had to find a use for them. Those bases are 25m to give you scale. After I printed them, I mounted them on a 25mm base and gave them a base coat of grey primer. Next was a layer of Contrast Militarum Green. And you can't just do contrast and call it done. Sorry you can't. I hit the green areas with a drybrush of Valleji Golden Olive to make those details POP. And some contarst on the barrel. For the basing I use an acrylic textured...

Working on some more modern games for Fistful of Lead, but I wanted to be more in line with Imagi-Nations. What's Imagi-Nations? It's using historical troops in a fictional setting. It really started with wargamers using early 18th century troops in made up campaigns taking place in small fictional (usually Germanic) countries.

It's a snowball fight mixed with dodgeball, based on the massive neighborhood snowball fights of our youth. This game can be played with any miniatures you have, and for the most part use the standard Fistful of Lead Core rules. You can have fights between evil snowmen and elves, Vikings and trolls, anything you can think of! The game can be played with 2, 3 or 4 players. Four player games can by 2 versus 2 or 4 way brawls. Great way to...
