Suffer not the HERETIC!

Posted on May 21st, 2013 under , , . Posted by

Sorry, I think, it’s been a little while. No worries if you haven’t missed me :) To be honest I’ve possibly been a bit busy elsewhere or haven’t really had too much to say, of actual interest, or show off. Been sneaking around on Skyrim a bit tryin…

Han shot first!

Posted on May 15th, 2013 under Posted by

Last night at Enfield Gamers there was a bit of learn with teacher as Rich took us through the intro adventure for Fantasy Flight’s upcoming Star Wars RPG.I’d been aware of it coming for a while and had taken a look at the preview on FF’s site. I have …

Lucky 13?

Hello people, the hypocrite returns ;]Decent day out yesterday with Mantic. The venue was a novel one, a closed NHS drop in centre in the process of being renovated. Apparently it had only just been closed down when the Mantic chaps first went to view …

Evening all,Another instalment of this weeks gaming down at Enfield Gamers which was all very much Mantic-tastic.First up was another helping of Dreadball. With luck a number of us should be at the Mantic Day for Dreadball in Nottingham this Saturday, …

Stock-Check

Posted on May 5th, 2013 under , . Posted by

So following my recent bleatings about utilising Salute to work out what i did want to play, coupled with a vague attempt at a refocus down at the club, I seem to be focusing on getting the most out of what I’ve got rather than searching for the next b…

Purity Seal-ed

Posted on May 4th, 2013 under , . Posted by

Got back to Dark Heresy Thursday night with a full crew and a new mission, in more ways than one.There have been a few issues around background / setting and the difference between playing 40K and then Dark Heresy. In short our Lord Inquisitor finally …

Confessions of a Dreadball Coach V

A bit more proxy Dreadball live last night at the Enfield Gamers saw myself and Chris match up again for a fairly leisurely game exploring a little bit more of Season 2. I took Robots whilst Chris continues with Z’Zor ably assisted for a bit by Rob who…

Armed and Dangerous

Posted on April 28th, 2013 under , . Posted by

Just a quick one. Amongst various bits of physical exercise and Heinken Cup action I DID get a bit of brush-work in and got our final Dark Heresy player, Ryan Assassin in training.Fig is a Heresy offering, another nice simple, solid figure that they se…

Geek me up Spotty!

Posted on April 26th, 2013 under , . Posted by

No Dark Heresy last night due to vague plague amongst a couple of us. Rather missing my roleplay hit so have this instead, shamelessly ripped off from Rather Gamey.Very, VERY glad it’s Friday :) This weekend I shall be sorting through mountain and hopef…

Confessions of a Dreadball Coach IV

Posted on April 25th, 2013 under , , . Posted by

With a smattering of Season 2 goodies in sticky mitts a few of us got our proxy on to give the new teams a run out and hone so moves for the upcoming Mantic day.Personally I’d plumped for the Robots and Z’Zors, based solely on looks as is often my case…

Obligatory post Salute post prt II – All in the Cards

Posted on April 22nd, 2013 under . Posted by

Hello people, as threatened all the links to the little-ish stack of business cards and flyers that I picked up. Basically stuff that made me tingle a little and drew me to the conclusion that times they are a changing!Personal favourite; Dark World’s …

WWII table candyPicture heavy of course. Good day out as always, loads of great looking games / tables and plenty of punters. I had a good wander before taking a detailed look at anything. I wasn’t really looking for anything in particular, other than …

A Crowd of Funders

Posted on April 18th, 2013 under , . Posted by

It still seems amazing how the Kickstarter craze seems to have gained such epic proportions within our niche hobby in such a short space of time. Dreadball Season 1 seemed to crash into my consciousness but then I might have spent the back end of last …

My name is…..

…..and I AM a Wargamer :) I had, as I occasionally do, pre meditated this post and it was going to be about how I don’t feel like I’m a valid wargamer, as a continuation of my previous meanderings as to what constitutes a wargame.I’ve been meaning to …

Purple Haze (POLL)

Posted on April 14th, 2013 under , , , . Posted by

Hello people, something new and hopefully interesting.I simply couldn’t decide on a scheme for my Forge Fathers, other than a base of purple rather than apparently standard Dwarven Blue, so I’ve painted up three schemes and am appealing to the blog-o-s…

Plotting a Course II

Delayed from last week we got back to Dark Heresy last night. Mr C sorted us out with another e-update and the promise that plot holes had been filled:Previously on Dark Heresy…. After making their way through the blockade of ships the acolytes land …

Confessions of a Dreadball Coach III

Posted on April 10th, 2013 under , , . Posted by

Not so much to confess this time round I have to admit so I’ll see where I manage to get us to ;) I played Craig last night, Shaun’s son, and it was his fourth game so a bit of a learner. He also had Orx and Gobs so useful for me to consolidate what I’d…

Crawling the Walls

Posted on April 7th, 2013 under , , , . Posted by

BOOO-YAAAH! Finished up the Warp-Rift Wall-Crawlers. The pea-dot camo didn’t come out quite as strong as I might have liked but it’s there and it’s enough. There was some worry that they were too dark but their ginger fairness has balanced them out. Pl…

Watch This Space II

Posted on April 6th, 2013 under , . Posted by

A horrible long while since the original one of these but it’s not as if I haven’t had anything else to go on about :) Some may have noticed that I revamped the blog a while ago and I’m in the process of steadily adding further quality items to the blo…

Pushing Card

In last nights thrilling episode at Enfield Gamers myself and Shaun had a first run out with a copy of Frontiers that Shaun picked up for a snap on E-Bay. We’ve both been tempted by Heroes of Normandie by Devil Pig on Kickstarter (it’s becomi…

I’m not a Nerd……

………i’m a Level 30 Warlord! So five days off work and as always I’ve not quite achieved my painting targets. I have been sinking a LOT of time into Skyrim recently, and yes have recently achieved level 30 but this weekend I was fairly restrained …

Kicking it up a notch

Posted on March 31st, 2013 under , , , . Posted by

Last couple of hours of the Zombicide Season II KickStarter and time to put my money where my mouth is. Not only my moola as Mr C (housemate / landlord / fellow nerd) has gone in halves. We’ve upgraded to Fugitive for a full copy of both Prison Ou…

Otherwise known as a night of Grab and Smash last night was Round 2 of the new Enfield Gamers Dreadball league. Somehow I’ve become league commissioner which is fine by me, I’m very corruptable :) Two more games for the Tohn-Ghaa Titans, both at ho…

Grinding it Out

As far as Painting Points go it most definitely wasn’t the most prolific weekend but that’s not to say I didn’t achieve at least something……..mainly on Skyrim.With the snowy weather gifting me even more free time than I already had I realised that …

Thursday night was the latest instalment of Dark Heresy and we all managed to play nicely this time, well…..mostly though it wasn’t me this time……not just me………..well, I didn’t start it :) Jynx suitably re-adjusted we actually got…
