“Jump and die with Battle Born, a complete ‘armored merc’ RPG” by Joseph Hilmer and George Rahm, featured in Space Gamer/Fantasy Gamer, Vol 2, Issue 1, Sept/Oct 1992, with Todd Pickens cover art.

The Space Gamer was created by Metagaming in the 70s, then continued by Steve Jackson Games who eventually dropped the “The” from the title. SJG also added Fantasy Gamer as a separate magazine before folding fantasy topics back into Space Gamer. Several other companies later took over the titles for brief runs. Hilmer and Rahm published 9 print issues as Better Games, starting with the issue above.

I was the managing editor of the magazine for the handful of issues that 3W published in the 80s. I really enjoyed that job.

Hexmark Destroyer! The first new addition to my army in over a decade. I'm very happy with the way the whole model turned out. I worked a bit on the glazing techniques to get smooth color transitions, and it worked in some places and not in others. I tried on the shoulders, but just ended up breaking out the airbrush in the end.

Tesseract Glow is my new favorite paint. 10/10, would change nothing about it.

Finally finished the Medusaes for my Court of the Archon, now I just need an Archon for them to follow. The first three are resin casts from Proxywars on Etsy, the last on the right is a resin cast from GW. I feel like they need a darker pink on their exposed brain matter so I will probably come back to these.
