Hello, you've arrived at the website of Iain Compton. This page isn't very interesting I'm afraid, most of the fun stuff happens on my blogs. Check out either Antipwn if you're interested in the video games industry and games design or Stormy Teacups if wargaming and miniature painting is more your thing.

If you want to see what's new then the latest posts from my two public blogs are syndicated down the left and right hand side of this page. The pictures above are randomly chosen from my Flickr collection (reload the page for a new selection).If you want to ask a question, give feedback or just get in touch then you can leave a comment on either of my blogs or email me at

Thanks for dropping by.

Adventures in figuring out MMO design

Ligging in Leipzig
I thought I had got out of the business of needing to attend games conventions but, over a year after I hung up my flameproof suit, I’ve been tapped to speak at the Community Manager Conference in Leipzig. This is held as a part of the annual Games Convention so if any of you reading [...]
How Not To Do Community
I’ve seen this linked around a few forums and blogs that I read. I’ll give the props to Quarter to Three because that’s where I saw it first. Now what we have here is a policy initiative by the Republican party in the US to collect policy suggestions. They launched the America Speaking Out website [...]

Voting for the fifth Council of Stellar Management went live today. This is a player advocacy group that has been established by CCP to work with the dev teams in Eve online. The remit is to raise visibility of player issues and to help prioritise them in the dev schedule. I was an alternate in [...]

Stormy Teacups

Adventures in painting toy soldiers

Knights of Chaos
Two updates in a week? Truly some foul sorcery is at work here! Actually it’s a side effect of being off sick from work for a reasonably long time, I’ve had time to crack on with painting as it’s one of the few things I can still do while I convalesce. Anyhow, the latest addition [...]
Steam Powered Undead
I bought a portable photo-studio and as a test of its capabilities I decided to photograph my Cryx Warmachine army. These pictures are taken with the same camera as all the others on this blog – it’s a Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ7 of about 4 years vintage. This is a reasonable quality camera falling somewhere far [...]
Belial, Master of the Deathwing
Yet another figure that I’m painting for someone else. It’s a change from working on my Warriors of Chaos army at least. This one is for a friend who wanted a Belial figure but didn’t have the confidence in his own modelling skills to convert one. I had a bit of a cast around, realised [...]
