Straight off I’m going to apologise for the mostly unpainted state of my army. Greg and I had decided to both field armies that we were potentially taking to this year’s Riotville event in March (though a bigger pointed version, as that event is capped at 1800). As such both armies are a work in… Read More WHFB – Lizardmen vs Greg’s Empire Jan 2020
You’ll all be pleased to know* that I’m not dead yet. I’ve just been really poorly motivated around the blog recently. That doesn’t mean that I haven’t done anything on the hobby front though. Dwarven Miners In terms of painting, I finally managed to finish off the horde of dwarf miners that have jammed up… Read More Hobby update – Dwarves and Blood Bowl league games
Topping my group in the KOW club comp stage meant I had qualified for the Quarter Finals. Unlike previous competitions the opponent wasn’t fixed based on your position within the group but was a random draw. My opponent ended up being Alex. I always enjoy playing Alex, neither of us takes our games too seriously… Read More Kings of War – Herd vs Brotherhood of Men – SELWG comp – Quarter Final – 13/10/19
My third and final group game was against Neil and his Empire of Dust (Tomb Kings) army. I was very much looking forward to this game as I’d not only not played Neil before also never played the Empire of Dust either. As an extra bonus, I’d seen his Tomb Kings army several years ago… Read More Kings of War – Herd vs Empire of Dust – SELWG comp game 3
My second game of the competition was against my old adversary Luke, fielding his beautiful old school ‘not’ Warriors of Chaos. As normal we weren’t taking our game particularly seriously and spent a great amount of time chatting. So much so that it is the first time I’ve ever failed to finish a game of… Read More Kings of War – Herd vs Varangur – SELWG 2019 comp game 2
As I mentioned in a previous post, I haven’t played KOW in a good few years so I thought it was about time that I gave it another go and as usual that meant in the club competition. My opponent for my first game was Cormac and his undead. By a fortuitous stroke of luck,… Read More Kings of War – Herd vs Undead – SELWG 2019 comp game 1
Caution: This post is one of my wordy affairs delving into my KOW list selection and the club comp. You have been warned…. Still here? Seriously, did you not read the warning? Fine, here we go then: After initially trying it out a few years back and having not played it since the club 2017… Read More Kings of War (KOW) – SELWG 2019 Competition and list breakdown.
I managed to line up a game in our club competition mid-week, when using up leave before our year end. This meant we got to try out the reasonably new wargaming venue in Borough (near London Bridge) called Bad Moon Café. It was my first time using the venue and as you would expect for… Read More WHFB – Wood Elves vs Bretonnians – Rumble in the SELWG Jungle – Comp’ Game – 12/03/19
With the kids and ourselves on holiday, Greg and I arranged to meet up to kick off the whfb competition. Due to the club being shut over the break we decided to meet and play at Warboar, a Friendly Local Gaming store (FLGS) located in southeast London. It was the first time I’d played there… Read More WHFB – Wood Elves vs Dark Elves – Rumble in the SELWG Jungle – Comp’ Game – 28/12/18
No posts are forthcoming for ages and then suddenly you get 3 in quick succession. Lucky you! So this year I decided to take my Wood elves for a spin in the competition. I don’t have high hopes for my placement but it will give me a solid run of games with them, which is… Read More Rumble in the SELWG Jungle – My Wood Elf List
