I continue my 2023 model wrap up with a hodgepodge of different models. Bretonnian Damsels These two had been sitting on the paint board for over 6 months. I just couldn’t find the inspiration to finish them. Im still not happy with them and the saddle on the horse will need to change colour but… Read More The rest of the 2023 wrap up – Lizards, Brets, wood elves and Space Marines
The joy of being a sporadic poster is that it means when you finally get back into the groove, you have a bit of a backlog of models. When I entered the call of the crown 2 challenge, my aim was to finish the bulk of my Brets and Lizards and whilst the Brets are… Read More Lizardmen reinforcements
I’ve been really slack recently (or worse than usual) with updating the blog. Does it mean I’ve rested on my laurels? Why no, so today present another smorgas board of treats for you, starting with: Sir Percival Deschamps. He is the Grand Master of the Order of the Green Knight (see previous green and white… Read More Hobby update – Brets/Empire/Lizards
After the hecktickness of the show and getting things ready for it, I might have been forgiven if I’d had a bit of hobby burnout or taken my foot off the gas. However at the minute i feel really galvanised, so got straight back on the bandwagon and finished off a unit of 6 Ripperdactyls.… Read More Hobby update – A right ripper of a unit
With the launch date of the Call of the Crown as 30th September, I thought I’d better get a mosey on and start hammering away at my pledge. With 6 Lizardmen coldone riders already on the table and started, I’d excluded them from the pledge but with another 6 not started, it seemed as good… Read More Hobby Update – a case of cold ones!

They also produce a fanzine that is a complete nostalgia fest if this era is your thing. The 3rd issue… Read More Call of the Crown 2022
Another month has shot by without a post. This is starting to be a habit! As ever, although my blogging activity has dipped, I’ve been steadily painting, interspersed with a game here and there. Empire The first thing crossed off were the first 20 Halberdiers in my fledgling Empire army. I don’t mind saying that… Read More Monthly(ish) hobby update – Empire/Brets & Lizards
So the day of the show arrived and I was out of the door at 7am to drive to the north of the city and got to the venue just before the doors opened to the other clubs putting on games and the traders. This year, we had moved the show to a new venue,… Read More The Battle of Bogenhof – pt 6 – The Battle!
This post will literally just break down the forces involved with some brief thoughts on how we would be simplifying some of it. As stated before the main aim of the demo game was to field as many large units and big gribblies as possible. Not having any experience in this size game, I turned… Read More Battle of Bogenhof – pt5 – the armies
With the club show coming up, I was speaking to one of the committee and he mentioned that this year we were short of participation/demo games. It didn’t take me much time to offer to put one on, with thoughts of large epic battles in my head, worthy of The Hoodling’s Hole himself! There was… Read More Battle Of Bogenhof – SELWG Show Demo Game – pt1 initial thoughts
