Recently I’ve been having quite a cull of the games I’ve bought over the years and the initial thought was that I was going to get out of gaming altogether. This decision had come about from a few factors, being a bit burnt out gaming wise, not having a car so getting difficult to get …

Proxies and another game system…
I was looking around for a proxy for Shen Long and his crew and was told to look at GCT Studios Bushido models as they may have something suitable for him and the peasants. When I got there I was quite please and found loads of models that I can use for proxies for Malifaux, …
Don’t you hate it when…
Another old document… Remember it was a far more innocent time. * Your ring of free action gets stuck on your finger. * Your Bucknard’s Everfull Purse starts only producing chocolate coins. * The case holding your chime of opening jams shut. * Your ring of swimming rusts. * Your necklace of adaptation doesn’t fit. …
In Her Majesty’s Name
I had just recently got the rulebook for In Her Majesty’s Name after having it recommended by several people I play other skirmish games with. Like all rulebooks published by Osprey Publishing it was well set out and the rules were very straightforward, also not a lot of rules to contradict each other or bog …
Frostgrave Warband
I got the rulebook for Frostgrave a while back now and was immediately struck with how this was the way I always wanted to play Fantasy battles, small scale skirmishes using a D&D-type system for a campaign. What took me longer was to figure out my Wizard and Warband. I eventually settled on Inquisitor Coteaz …
We’ll be back – 9th Ed. Necrons
I think I got my first Necron models very early in 2003, or late 2002. That’s quite a bit back now and I can’t remember what I had for dinner yesterday (that’s why I’m putting recipes in this blog). But I really loved the space robot, terminator aesthetic but they didn’t last long as I …
Getting back into Warhammer 40000
I was almost out, almost gone after just under 30 years playing various armies. Then, Indomitus! The sculpts for both armies are just stunning and I was watching the leaks and previews I got really excited about the game for the first time in years, possibly decades. I’m still selling off all the old stuff …
It’s a Gazebo!
This is a bit of Roleplaying lore that’s been kicking around the Internet for as long as I can remember. I found it going through my old documents in the loft as I was sorting out something for a campaign soon to start 🙂 So I will put it here verbatum, copied from the original …

This is a collection of links to a question on Facebook. ‘Are there any good resources for Vikings/Norse Gael painting schemes?’ The ones that are collected here are: A collection of resources on the Studio/Tomahawk forum: http://studiotomahawk.freeforums.org/dark-age-colour-schemes-t180.html, this is for Dark Age in general. Another general Dark Age colour palette can be found at the …
A New Start
It’s been a really poor few years in gaming for me, various IRL things getting in the way. I’ve tried to keep up with what’s happening but have been unable to get out and play any games regularly. I also think I was spread way too thinly when it came to games and game systems, …
