Long story short, I’m no longer taking part in the 40k Kill Team evening on Friday. I just really couldn’t drum up any enthusiasm for it and with my limited club time in Jan/Feb I decided to instead, line up a game of Kings of War to finally try it out. Something I’ve been itching… Read More KOW – First game prep
I happened to be down at my folks at the weekend and opened a cupboard in my old room to be presented with some of the standards of my Orc army. As with nearly all my older lead models, they are not fully finished (nothing was ever based). The figure on the right is an… Read More Hobby update – Orcsies
Although this blog is mainly aimed at my forays into tabletop gaming, I thought i’d digress into my other gaming love, namely PC games. I would happily rack up my miniatures several times a week but sadly real life gets in the way. However I can log on quite easily to the laptop and get… Read More Online gaming
On Feb 3 SELWG is running a kill team evening and as previously stated, I’m using this as an opportunity to again try 40k to see if I can rekindle some interest in it (the game that is, I’m an avid reader and love the battles and Horus Heresy books). I will of course be… Read More 40k Kill Teams
Early last year I had my first foray into the realm of 40k. In normal style (after 2 practice/learn the rules games) I jumped in feet first and entered the club competition. I can’t say I enjoyed it hugely but this was mainly down to not knowing what I was doing and partially in creating… Read More A glutton for punishment.
With my first run of games now finished, I thought I pop some thoughts down about my Beastmen and how they performed, what worked well and what didn’t. It may incorporate a bit of a mini army review. (Marks have been given based on my opinion of the unit and influenced by how effectively I… Read More Evaluation of the Herd Of Khazbar
It seems like an age ago when I posted my finished Minotaurs and mentioned that I had a random zebra striped scheme on an old Marauder (pygmy) Minotaur model from around 25 years ago (made of child friendly lead). I was at my folks on Sat and decided to try and catalog what was down… Read More Hobby update – The one that got away
Or, “The great regression of skill and ability” After spending Wednesday evening at Steve’s house with Matt, Pete and Greg in one of our D&D sessions, I somehow managed to wrangle also going out on Friday in order to finish the last of my stage 2 group games, this time against Neil Robbins Daemons (his… Read More Beastmen vs Daemons of Chaos – SELWG whfb stage 2 – game 3
With a final push I boxed off 10 Harpies on Tuesday. This means my comp army is now fully painted for my game on Friday and I’m one step closer to finishing my Beastmen. A couple of examples are below. I tied them back to the main army with the bodies painted grey with a… Read More Hobby update – stop Harp(y)ing on
I’ve been looking into Kings of War quite a bit recently and more than Ninth Age I’ve been getting quite excited about trying it out. As with all new systems, my first step is to swot up about it first. I’ll be posting a series of articles on it and i’ll kick off the first… Read More Kings of War – Getting Started
