Irregular Magazine issue 15.

I almost missed it but issue 15 of Irregular Magazine is up for download. For what is in this issue I simply quote the text from their site.
 We have a couple of neat tutorials looking first at making cheap terrain and another on how to build your own Roman villa. We have a really interesting interview with Ronnie Renton of Mantic Games about why mantic have gone down the route of using Kickstarter, as well as a look at Mantic’s most recently completed Kickstarter campaign, Deadzone. Also in this issue we have a background piece that can be used for Stargate games, either RPGs or wargames if you’re interested in running an alternative Stargate universe based in the UK.

We have three showcases this issue looking at the work of the talented illustrator Conor Nolan, a look at some of Ian Powell’s wonderfully painted miniatures and the third showcase features Graham Shirley’s awesome Warhammer Greenskin army of Hazmat Gutspilla and the Red Tribe. All three showcases are really well-worth reading.

Finally, we round off this issue with a great short story from the pen of ShaNeil Harada and we have reviews of two games, Dungeon Command and Helldorado.

Irregular Magazine Issue 12

The people of Irregular Magazine have uploaded a new issue. Issue #12 / Spring '12. First thing to mention is that Irregular magazine has a new web address: http://www.irregular-magazine.com/ .
Let's take a look what can be found in this new issue.
First there is an article about IMP 2012. I quote: "Sheffield Irregulars, in association with Patriot Games and Baccus 6mm, are proud to present Irregular Miniature Paintfest 2012. This is our fourth annual show, being held at The Workstation in Sheffield for the second year."
Next is an article about Empire, a computer game from the 70s and still being played today on the internet.
Followed by "Notables of Flathead’s Romance : Heroes and Villains for Traveller RPG"
A nice read is the history article about Alaric and the Goths. Always great to read some history.
In the Artist Showcase an interview with Ian Garnett.
Leeds Royal Armouries. This is an article about what can be seen and found in the Royal Armouries museum in Leeds, England. Like swords, guns and suits of armour. Too bad I don't live in England else I would have certainly paid a visit.

In this issue there are 3 tutorials.
The first is about how to paint female faces. This tutorial I find very helpful and one I learned something from.
The second tutorial is Making planets, celestial bodies and space stations - part 2. I am not very interested in this one.
The third and last tutorial is called Basic Miniature Basing and tells more about basing a miniature. Nice read but if you already longer working with miniatures I don't think it tell much new things.

Three reviews.
The Masked Witches Brotherhood of the Griffon - Volume IV
Published by Wizards of the Coast.
Baccus Basing System
http://www.baccus6mm.com/
Heroes of the Elemental Chaos
Published by Wizards of the Coast

And of-course there is the Tuk Tuk comic by Will Kirby.

Personally I find the Irregular Magazine a better read the the Ancible. Though the last ain't bad either.

Irregular Magazine issue 11 / Winter 2012

Today I downloaded the latest issue of Irregular Magazine. While looking at the index there were 2 articles that caught my eye almost instantly.
First there is this article about the battle of Stalingrad 1942. Although it is a short article but for me, being a WWII freak and FoW player, it was a nice read. The other article is the one on how to make snow-bases. I haven't read this article completely yet, mostly what I did was quick scan, but it looks like a great tutorial.
The other articles look promising. Although I don't play the games mentioned in the magazine I always find it interesting to read. There is always something in the issues which maybe can come in handy on a later date. For the complete contents and to download the issue go here: Irregular Magazine Issue 11
