The wargaming world of Nozza

Back in August, I shared a post about some 3D printed miniatures I picked up from the talented designer Papsikels , inspired by the Capsule Gang from the cult classic anime film Akira . You can check out that post here . For many of us, Akira was a gateway into the world of anime. Its UK television debut on BBC2, Saturday January 8th, 1994 , marked a turning point - bringing subtitled Japanese animation to mainstream audiences for the first time. That broadcast introduced a generation to the gritty, neon-drenched streets of Neo-Tokyo and the unforgettable style of its characters. One of the things that drew me to these figures - aside from the nostalgic nod to Akira -  is their versatility. They’re unarmed , which makes them perfect for repurposing as generic sci-fi or cyberpunk civilians. Whether you're populating a neon-lit street scene, crafting a dystopian diorama, or adding depth to your tabletop campaign, these miniatures bring style and character without being locked int...

The Wayfinder crew were enjoying that rarest of commodities - downtime. For once, nobody was patching hull plates, recalibrating blasters, or nursing wounds. Spirits were high, and the scars from their brush with the Imperials on Endor had finally faded. Only Winnwakka was still laid up, resting after his recovery.

Odds aren’t great.” Before Yirn could answer, the calm of the station shattered. Alarms blared, a piercing klaxon that rattled through the docking bays. Over the speakers came the frantic announcement: “Raid in progress! Al...

"The Lost Boys" is a cult classic horror-comedy from 1987, directed by Joel Schumacher. It’s a stylish blend of teen angst, vampire mythology, and rock 'n' roll attitude, all set in the fictional coastal town of Santa Carla, California —a place with a serious vampire problem. After moving to Santa Carla, brothers Michael and Sam Emerson quickly realize the town isn’t just weird - it’s dangerous. Michael gets drawn into a gang of mysterious, leather-clad youths led by the enigmatic David , and after a fateful night involving some suspicious wine (read: vampire blood), he begins to change. Meanwhile, Sam teams up with the eccentric Frog Brothers , self-proclaimed vampire hunters who suspect something sinister is lurking beneath the town’s laid-back vibe. As Michael wrestles with his transformation, Sam and the Frogs race to uncover the truth and save him. The only way to break the curse? Kill the head vampire. But figuring out who that is… well, that’s where things...
