Malifaux Reborn
So it seems like people in the club are starting playing some Malifaux again and I have maybe half a gang painted up that I bought just to paint so I ordered the last pieces I need to put together …
Here comes the Convoy!
I haven’t posted that bit so far, but quite some months ago I won a EDEN starterset on that wonderful little newssite Tabletop Fix. It took Falk, the mastermind behind the website, quite some time to get hold of the starter set and to send it to …
Fir Lirithion Epic army list thoughts
I am in the process of picking up some Epic Eldar Knight miniatures and so I thought that it would be interesting to see what, if any, army lists are available to use the Knights in. The NetEA 2012 army list compendium contains the Fir Iolarion Eldar Titan Clan army list (an older version, the [...]

Empress Miniatures: New miniatures for the New Zealand Wars!
Hi, Here are some pictures of the not so new releases of Empress Miniatures. For some unknown reason these marvellous new miniatures have not been detected on my endless wargame search fests on the internet. The New Zealand Wars range is the largest an…
Hunting Beasties
The elves have now had their first game and I have to say I learned quite a bit. To put this into context, I haven’t played Warmachine for nine months, I’ve never played my Retribution, and I’ve never played against Legion of Everblight. Yep, I learnt a lot. The game was a 25 point straight [...]
‘The Big Meeple’ On Tour in May 2012…
It seems that Midland Wargames shows are somewhat like buses – not one for ages and then 3 come at once! Unfortunately, I will miss Triples this weekend as I will be at the Total Wargamer store in Evesham on … Continue reading →

Best $7.50 I’ve spent in a while
Like more than a few wargamers, I started in Role Playing Games. D&D specifically back in its hey day. Painting miniatures for the game led to painting armies. We still play D&D, as you can see by my Beyond the Wall blog.So I still pick up the …

The Snidey Gamer
Just lately I’ve had a rash of comments on the blog and Twitter bad mouthing the models and games I’ve been reviewing, as well as my general like for those products. One or two comments have valid points but the vast majority are from, what I’d call, Snidey Gamers. I should address one comment which [...]

COMMUNITY
No I am not talking about some TV show, that I have no idea what it is about, nor really care. The term community has two distinct meanings: 1) A group of interacting people, living in some proximity (i.e., in space, time, or relationship). Community usually refers to a social unit larger than a household [...]

Easily Distracted
One of the biggest impediments I have to getting any painting done at home in the evening is the TV. I find any background noise distracting and even rubbish TV (meaning 99% of the stuff that is aired) has a magnetic draw to it that pulls me away from …
The Others review
The Others is a really atmospheric horror movie and probably one of the best ghost stories I’ve seen in a very long while. Nicole Kidman plays strict and religious nut Grace who lives on the Jersey island in the British channel in a secluded mansion …
WIP Warpwolf Stalker
