March Week 2 more ASOIAF

I seem to be at sixes and sevens as to what to paint. I am still very much ASOIAF but struggling to focus on the next project. After going this way and that Patrick has pushed me towards Renly Baratheon so I think that is the way forward. I also have lots of flowers to…

February Week 4

Look at me go, two months consistent blogging. Been a very busy week. 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…

Feb Week 3, Hobby Round up and Painting faster

Played a game with Darling Daughter On to painting quickly tips. Let’s start with the simplest, be neat. If you stay in the lines you paint once not twice, going back is rubbish. Work from the deepest part of the model out, this helps with be neat as you are doing the hard to get…

2nd Post in February!

I think the Saturday morning posting thing is working for me. I haven’t failed to post this year (one was a Sunday but I was at a board game show) This week I got a game in and painted some more CMON A Song of Ice and Fire miniatures for the Nights Watch. I have…

Day late weekly update!

Was over in Portsmouth and Southampton yesterday so couldn’t update you lovely people! Now need to get a game in it! Really interesting coop game, but as school kids you also need to do chores, go to school and have limited transport. Really enjoyed it! Pretty big week on the hobby, got a night shift…

Hobby Week 4

A little late but finally made it to the sofa to write the blog, one advantage of doing it in the evening I get a beer! I was partnered up Daniel vs Patrick with huge armies. I thin’ the size of the armies and trying to teach us guys was pretty taxing on poor Pat…

Hobby Week 3

We are making some real progress on the Lannister forces. Hoping to have 40 points (standard force size) this week! Gaming wise I got a game of Blood Bowl in. I haven’t played the new rules so this was interesting! Managed to blag a draw but took five casualties on a Dwarf team, I will…

Back at the Blog

Tom always says that a lot of the blog post out there are the apologies for not posting. I think blogs become that neglected part of the garden that you don’t see unless you wander down to that part and stare sadly at the overgrown area you once cherished! The new plan is to do…

Warhammer 40k Apocalypse

For ages now I have been struggling with a huge quandary, I have thousands of 40k miniatures and no ruleset. I have the latest 40k rules but every time I ask about a codex it has been replaced, often this happens before I can actually play a game with that faction. What I was searching…

Battles in the North Nottingham Gaming Hall

Orcs vs Orcs, battle for the tower. How exciting is that. Tom has the more aggressive two hand weapon biguns vs my sword and board, later they go head to head. In the tower I have my Ruglud’s Crossbow Orcs. They are a bit dodgy on the rules but I love them and they aren’t…
