Warhammer: The Old World Which Factions to Choose
I’m a big fan of older editions of Warhammer Fantasy Battle, having started gaming and miniature collecting when the 2nd edition came out and then carrying on playing with the 3rd edition before taking a long break. Just when I got back into gaming I found out that the Old World was about to be … Continue reading Warhammer: The Old World Which Factions to Choose →

Pelennor Fields Battle Photos
Played this game last summer, but only just got round to having a proper look at the Pelennor Fields battle photos I took at the time, and thought they would be worth posting here. Don’t ask me for an AAR (After Action Report) on the game, but we basically played the main big battle from … Continue reading Pelennor Fields Battle Photos →

Testing out Terrain for 6mm WW2
I tested out some terrain I made recently for WW2 at 6mm (1/300) scale wargames. I made some basic fields out of card, clump foliage and flock and I think they look pretty good. The trees were cheap on ebay and again on simple card base. I also used some paper 1/300 buildings on a … Continue reading Testing out Terrain for 6mm WW2 →

Woodland Scenic Tree Armatures Glue Tip
A quick hobby tip that I thought I would share in case anyone else comes across the same problem. I tried my hand for the first time at making my own trees for wargaming using the Woodland Scenics Armatures and their clump foliage. I couldn’t get hold of their Hob-e-Tac glue for attaching the clump … Continue reading Woodland Scenic Tree Armatures Glue Tip →

Guthrum Mane – the Rock Giant from Bloodbath at Orcs Drift
This is such a characterful miniature – I really loved painting this one. I played the campaign recently with some friends and Guthrum did well in his first battle against the Wood Elves – but he got drunk and never appeared at Orcs Drift. With the painted figure I had a go at doing some … Continue reading Guthrum Mane – the Rock Giant from Bloodbath at Orcs Drift →
