Welcome to The General’s Tent, a website dedicated to Miniature Wargames, Roleplaying Games, CCGs and Boardgames. Essentially, whatever I am up to in the hobby world ends up here. Most of the time this is updates and WIP images of my various painting projects, with the occassional product review, Magic: The Gathering theory or D&D 4th Edition session report.
The site is updated every Monday with new content, so remember to check back often or subscribe to the RSS Feed. Please feel free to leave comments at the end of any post, I always love to hear from people who visit my site.

Articles should be self-explanitory. It will have a number of articles about the miniatures I’ve painted and games I’ve played. These include transcripts from an IRC Tribe 8 game I ran, as well as house-rules for games I’ve played. You won’t see many house rules, as they are one of the few things I look for when I crawl the web for hobby information.

The Gallery has been revamped and re-worked. No longer will there be large rambling pages with multiple shots of a bunch of miniatures, but an orderly arrangement of images with captions. You’ll be able to use Next and Previous buttons to scroll through them, or sit and watch a slide-show. For those that will miss the large, rambling pages will be happy to find something similar in the Articles section.

About The Webmaster
Self-portrait of me killing myself painting
My name is Tyler “Coyote” Provick. I’ve been gaming my entire life, starting when I was just a wee lad of 13 or 14. It started simply, ICE’s Lord of The Rings and TSR’s Marvel Superheroes. Then one fateful night, after watching Braveheart I was overcome with the sudden and fierce ambition to lead armies into battle and defeat my enemies through tactical and strategic skill alone! After a number of false starts I discovered Games Workshop, who was my master for many years.
It wasn’t until I met my wife that things really came together. Previously, I had spent a lot of time buying and wishing I had enough painted to actually play. Through her gentle guidance I focused my energies more on what I had and finished more miniatures in that year then I had in all 6 previous years.
Today I continue with roleplaying and wargaming when I can. I choose my projects carefully and try not to overburden myself. I only have 1 outstanding active project and a number of projects on hold. My biggest lack is space to work and store materials. I live in a very small aparment, but we’re planning on buying a house soon, which will give me the space for terrain and airbrushing, two things I cannot really indulge in.
I’ve been published in Battlegames Magazine and have contributed workbench content to The Miniatures Page. I continue to write articles for publication, which sometimes results in a lack of updates to the site.
