Got back to Game of Thrones this week, demo game for Simon at the club. He seemed to like it, and it was an awesome battle! My Nordland army is one of the poorer provinces and I see the posting there for the Reiksguard to be the one that attracts the worst of the regiment,… Continue reading End of May

May Half Way
Trying to get back into the rhythm of posting. I’ve been painting a Warmaster Army for a friend and that has sucked my mojo somewhat. I know Tom loves the 10mm but there is no joy there for me! I then touched up my Dwarf Blood Bowl team for their second warm up prior to… Continue reading May Half Way

Crammed in six games since last Friday and finished the Warriors Sons Pat had chosen a strategy of no None Combat Units giving me full access to the tactics board, this lead to an amount of frustration for Pat but much more… Continue reading February Week 4
