End of May

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,…

Final Post of March

So technically it’s April today but everything hobby related happened in March. I’ve had requests on the old scenery and you can see it in a game later. Spoilers, Patrick defeats me again! I think this is becoming a familiar theme where I am ok at killing stuff and rubbish at collecting victory points. We…

March week 3 Updates

What’s happened this week, in a nutshell some painting and some gaming! Gaming first. Another great game against young Patrick! Starks vs Lannisters. I am still not good at focusing on the scenario. I play like a 12 year old at 40k. Just kill stuff and worry about everything else later. I did “gamily” move…

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…

March Week 1 Hobby

I missed last week as the Soldier family were having a sad week burying my Grandmother! But hobby recommenced and the world feels a little better! Painting has been a bit slow. But the Lannisters I have, bar some characters, are all done now. I have Greyjoys on the way, Baratheons and Starks undercoated. Having…

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…

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…

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…

Hobby Week 2 of the Year

This week I have got very excited about Cool Mini or not Song of Ice and Fire! As I was poorly last week we didn’t get the historical game in so the club played SoIaF. This week we got a four player in! Big thanks to Patrick for sorting it out and putting a good…
