Gauntlet's Minis

Welcome! I'm Ryan Rabideau and I'm using this site to organize and write a bit about my miniature painting hobby and such!

Fallout is arguably my first love in gaming... ever since me and a pal or two picked up Fallout 1 and 2 in a weird folding box (that I still have!) from the bargain bin when I was probably 15! We spooled up the CD drive left the vault... and chose to go west.

We were promptly sliced in half by a Super Mutant wielding a Laser Gatling Gun.

I've been playing miniature war games for over fifteen years and I can honestly say, Dropzone Commander has been the best of them by a wide margin. Dropfleet Commander isn't as good, but deserves high praise as well!

As a young boy I loved Starship Troopers the book... as a teenager, I was fascinated by the movie's Warrior Bugs... and in college, my love of miniatures blossomed into obsession when Mongoose Publishing created the miniature game! I've long neglected these models since, but now that I am more advanced a painter I'm slowly re-painting my massive collection into something I can be proud of (or at least bear to look at).

While I don't get the chance to write up full battle reports often, when I do, you can find them here! Games vary, but obviously I tend to play what I paint!

You can also find any tutorials and random stuff here as well.
