Greetings all.....has been a very long time since the last post...lost the blog for a while but have it back in hand again.....

Too much has been going on with everything in the world going crazy...but...still here after all these years.....

Will gte some updates posted and some pictures on here also....

Greetings All.....as usual too long between posts.....lots of life going on.....still marching forward with a full 30 inch step tho.....
Going thru a "purge" in life right now...cleaning out the corners and boxes of life...getting back to a simpler life & feeling good about that...the trash & recycling trucks have been busy busy men for the past several months and next week a dumpster will be in the driveway & we will finalize the plan.....
Gaming in this area still sucks badly...need to try other venues or travel to other towns since I have the time...but the "usual"group around here arent even playing their "favorites" anymore...time to do somethin else then I guess.....
Still building & printing...love to do those...will be getting some pictures up soon...need to take some before the "organizing" gets going...."it is to laugh"......
Blood & Plunder....SAGA.....Gangs Of Rome.....Muskets & Tomahawks.....Star Wars Legion (maybe).....going to make these the only games that I keep current on & build & plan for.....
More work to do & have some LaserDreamWorks Vauban Fortification coming off the CR-10S for Blood&Plunder.....
Until next time.....

 

This has been a very long year for me with some health issues and such...but it has been a very diverse year for wargames & models...still banging along on SAGA Warbands both DarkAges & Medieval/Crusades...organized an Anglo-Dane Warband & started the painting as I am finishing the last 2 units...levies - archers & slingers...have been playing StarWars Legion more & assembling an Imperial force list...modifying & painting different units to give me somethin different from everyone else...also took on a commission to assemble & paint a pile of SWLegion figures...not very satisfying but great experience...
Adepticon terrain has been a breeze this year...worked out some issues with the tournament boss & have been bangin out pieces...need to get with The Adepticon Tyrant to determine a direction for SWLegion...
The 3D printers are running most excellent & have even given some thought to another - an Ender3 - good reliable dependable printer...
As usual tho...just like a kid & shiny objects..........
Will get some pictures posted soon.....
Regards     Hogg  

Here is the latest from the workshops of BaddogzEngineering.....
Lots and lots of events in the past 6 months...but we have made it thru and keep on moving forward...didnt post any of the work-in-progress of the StarWarsLegion terrain...really didnt know if I could...it was a beast.....Adepticon 2018 has been here and is now in the history books.....what an awesome time...MANY MANY THANKS to Mr. Hank Edley and Mr. Mike Tisdale for making this a great time for me...it truly was gentlemen!!!!!!!!!   Always have fun playing SAGA and had the opportunity to play 23 demo games of the new rules of SAGA with interested folks and really enjoy the games!!!  Many THANKS as always to Eric, Paul, John, Andy, Tracy and all of the folks that come to play....great gamers and great folks to know....
Below are some pictures of the tables at the StarWarsLegion area...will work up a list of all of the makers of the files I used for 3D Printing & laser cut to include at a later date...
I have decided to retire a lot of my old Dark Ages figures rather than rework the bases on them to get them ready for the new rules for SAGA...will be organizing some new warbands and finishing out some that arent quite complete yet....hopefully there will be some WIP pictures here soon.....
Regards.....Hogg

Getting ready for a new trip...travelling to RockCon on the 20th for the weekend...SAGA tournament & demos all weekend... fun as usual!!!   Aaron Loomis will be monitoring the tournament & I will betaking care of the demos...taking the terrain as usual...have some new items that I have been working up for the Blood&Plunder future table...pictures will be posted when I get back.....
See ya later.....Hogg sends

Forgot to include...have been assisting with the building of the GuildBall terrain for ADEPTICON and built a little bit for the Games Master Mike for TitanGames here in Springfield (shameful plug of business) great place to visit - huge selection of board games - if NICK doesn't have it he can order it & it comes in quick...really a great shop... 
Also...I have retired from service with the state...physical reasons...hopefully I can get them corrected or fixed or something...which leaves me an enjoyable amount of time for me...forgot what it was to have time for me...lots of "stuff" getting sorted and destroyed or offered out...other being cataloged and relocated...as the saying goes "ramping up production to prepare for full-scale mobilization"............
Remember...all who wander are not lost.....
See ya in the funny papers

Back again sooner than expected...Blood&Plunder ...have been working on a lot of stuff including myself...here are some pictures from some finished figures and the pirate brigantine Sea Hammer...one of the awesome ships from Firelocke.....Capt of this ship is Willem Hydde..."Windard Will"...fluff to follow at a later date... he is a BlackScorpion Pirate figure.....

...and the last is the new Captain of the upcoming light frigate Raven's Wing...August Geraint and his faithful pirate dog Lacey............

Until next time...safe seas and fair winds............
