This is really late in the piece but here is a rundown of a four player (I think it was 700 or 750 pts each) bash of WOTR. Three of us were using the totally cool new War of the North lists I’ve been working on and the fourth had Misty Mountains. Since…
A surprisingly big turn out this year, despite the venue being far away fromt he centre of Melbourne. There are …Continue reading »
The Eldar Wraithknight! I can already see how that beast is going to keep my busy blogging in the coming weeks. The new Eldar Wraithknight is part of Games Workshop’s latest release for Warhammer 40K 6th Edition. It is one of the largest kits eve…
Tomorrow should see the official release of the new White Dwarf and, with it, the pre-orders for the new Eldar miniatures. Apparently, the lucky Warhammer 40K fans of France also received Games Workshop’s official email announcing the new release…
Mantic Games is frantically producing one great game after another. They are now on Kickstarter for Deadzone, a Sci-Fi skirmish game promising to bring easy, fast game-play of board games to the table (read the Interview with Jake Thornton for details)…
Just a quick post regards these chaps which have been lurking about 99% completed – half a dozen clay golems for pulp games…In reality they are a couple of samurai archers I’ve had lying about for yonks, plus four samurai warriors I originally b…
I’ve made some pretty solid progress over the last couple of nights. The long hall, huts and wattle enclosures on the workbench have all been completed. I’ve also finished a small well and re-based a fair chunk of my Anglo-Danish SAGA warband to boot.F…
What I can say, is that it was a great day, and my thanks to the guys there for making me and my kids very welcome for the duration of our stay! My kids loved it, as did I and I managed to get myself a few choice bits off my shopping list (more about […

Our latest posts about our 28mm War of the Roses miniaturesstimulate some wargamers to ask “how can I paint that wood grain effect onspears, bills and longbows?” So, this is a short painting guide on how to paint a nice “wood grain”effect for spears, b…
It’s just a quick one today really. Life has been a bit too busy to get anything completely finished. I had forgotten what a drag painting 28mm was as just these ten have seemed to take forever. Well they have been sat around for a few days now. Not th…
The Eldar will arrive this weekend (for pre-orders at least) to the 6th Edition of Warhammer 40K. Games Workshop’s been exceptionally tight on this one, though the first images from the White Dwarf have started to appear the last couple of days.
Things have been a bit hectic outside of gaming so the village project has been in the slow lane. At least I’ve managed to do a bit each night to keep it ticking over. Here’s a quick update on where things stand since the last workbench update…The lo…
The Eldar are back! After weeks of silence with only a rare few whispers on the next Codex-release for Warhammer 40K, news finally broke: The Craftworld Eldar arrive with a shiny new 6th Edition Codex and new miniatures, including the massive (allegedl…
If only I was still doing Necromunda, or any other scifi gaming in 28mm, cos’ these look very promising indeed! Ok, the plain ones don’t really inspire, but by the look of things, these could turn out to be a very good system for gaming. Wh…
As you know, I love the strange and off the wall stuff, and I’m pretty surprised this one slipped past me entirely! Myconids are a race of Mushroom humanoid from the glory days of gaming, and one of my favourite fantasy races. There are a few goo…
Whispers have been about concerning the prices for the Eldar. It appears increasingly certain that the new Wraithknight will indeed be significantly larger than, say, the Tau Riptide. And significantly more expensive, priced at about the level of the c…

Happy Wargaming to All!

The Eldar Wraithknight has arrived. Games Workshop seems to shoot for a slightly different visual style with their new range of Eldar Miniatures for Warhammer 40K 6th Edition. Time for a first review! How do the new 6th Edition Eldar miniatures compare…
You’ve seen Fulgrim and you’ve seen some of the pictures for what Forge World has planned for the near (we hope!) future. As more people arrive at home and share the contents of their cameras, more pictures from the Horus Heresy Weekender a…
Round Five of LPL7 was one of three Theme Rounds; this time the theme was “Historical Civil Wars”. This fits perfectly into my ongoing Russian Civil War project, and was one of the reasons I pushed myself to participate in … Continue reading →
When I first saw this set of figures on the Eureka Miniatures website I knew I had to get them. They really have a certain charm about them – the young lass ardently kneading the dough with her bare feet, while her fellow citizens busily work it into l…
