I love it when you get home to surprise parcels. A couple of months ago I mailed some of my bits box to one of the guys off the eighth edition for life forum and as a thank you he sent me this little beauty. It’s an Avatars of War model and he even painted it in… Read More A letter froooooom America
With my first competition game on Friday, I realised I needed to pull my finger out and ensure my entry was fully painted to garner the bonus points for each game. So I present 10 Ungor Raiders. I’ll try and fully finish them before Friday as there are some details I want to do on… Read More Hobby Update – Ungor Raiders
In the final post of this series, i’ll take a look at the final competitor in Group A, Luke C and his Dark Elves. Luke has been using Dark Elves for a number of years and I know often attends the Hockley tournament with Dan so will be a tough player to beat. I actually… Read More The Dark Tide

I’ve only ever played Alistair at Kings of War and he showed a frightening ability to learn from previous games and adapt his list and tactics. As such, although… Read More The Green Machine
In a series of three posts, I’ll be looking at the army lists of my opponents in Group A of the competition, evaluating the army and then trying to work out how I would win the scenarios in their shoes.

As well as the game against Paul on Friday, the draw was also made for the groups in the competition. With a last bit of recruitment on the Friday, I managed to get the numbers up to 16 which allowed 4 groups of 4. The draw was made by the independent adjudicator: Cormac. After the… Read More SELWG 2017 Warhammer Competition Kicks Off!
This week I had lined up a game against Paul. He hadn’t played 8th Edition for a few years now but he was one of the club members who had signed up to the competition and so wanted to re-familiarise himself with the rules. I jumped at the chance to have a game and not… Read More WHFB – Beastmen vs Skaven
