The next stage of the tyrants legion is completed. The Auxilia Armsmen Cadre, these are slightly better troops that the Legion Auxilia and come with a heavy weapons team and a heavy stubber so can put down some pritty good fire power. Yes i have used Muntant Chronicle minatures for […]
Fresh of the painting table are 2 of the 3 tank squads. The entire formation is designed to be able to handle all kinds of table setup. First group dosent have sponsons and so is designed to stay still and cover open ground with fire, the second group has heavy […]
Next of the production line is a hellhound flame tank. This hopefully should be good for clearing cover and just puts one more tank on the table. It comes with the bonus of being able to start its template up to 12 inches away and can fire at 90 degrees […]
So its nearly broken me but finally the legion auxilia squad is finished! they are great models to paint given the fact they come out of a starter box set. So i’m pritty happy with how these have turned out as they have the urban malitia element i was […]
So the main reason for the big gap in posts other than football and a bad shoulder have been these bad boys. The Auxilia is a 40 man squad, yes thats 40 MODELS!!!11111111 For these i’m using the chaos cultists from the 6th ed boxset, yes they are a bit […]
So while i’ve been waiting for the last few bits of the Carcharodonds to arive i’ve made a start on the tyrants legion. I decided to have them as the 2nd army as i had most of the components to actually get them finished with out having to hit ebay […]
So hot of the painting table today is the Titan hammer Apocalypse formation. Made up of 3 terminator assault squads with thunder hammers and storm shields giving them a 3+ invulnrability save. They must deep strike onto thew table together and deploy within 12 inches of the comander. The big […]
Leader Of the Carcharodons he’s pritty sick getting some pritty sick rules. Costing 190 points his chapter tactics gives any squad the Rage USR once they win a combat giving them +1 attacks when they charge in 6th ed, should he gain rage he also gets the preffered enemy USR […]
The first squad to be finsished is the Vanguard squad. Using the 5 man metal figures from GW and 5 standard assault marines but giving them lightning claws. They can deep strike and do an heroic intervention to stop scatter so should be able to fix an early game problem […]
The first troop unit to be painted is the siege dreadnought talon, so thats a formation of 3 dreadnoughts that count as a troop choice, they have to be either venerable or siege pattern so you get the 2 best for a melle assault army. 2 more dreadnoughts to […]
So only managed to get one more dreadnought finished toady but here he is now technically he’s a furiso blood angels dreadnought but i like the model and one of the CCW counts as a sisemic hammer just needs a few last touches but a night out on Cotswold seems […]
So after a day of with a hangover and a bit of time off for football the next bit of the Carcharodons is almost completed. The first tactical squad just need a few last touches but are pritty much finished. Now what i have also been looking at is the […]
So the parts to finish of the siege dreadnought talon finally arrived today so have since been busy building the weapons and now have a fully painted siege chapkin dreadnought. Please note i didnt base this as it came like this from ebay. all this leads to the first of […]
So this is an idea I’ve been playing around with since I flipped a [card]Felidar Sovereign[/card] in a zendi booster, and traded another one for a few odds and ends. Although it looks fairly hard to get a play off, I’ve always had a thing for non competitive left field […]
It started around 2 years ago but the Badab war project is back underway! Allmost all the models are here and the first versions of the army list are completed. These may change a bit but ideally will keep the same flavour. Firstly The Astral Claws, the main protagonists of […]
So Lex turned up with a copy of X-Wing to the last games weekend. No one had really looked at this game before, and Lex had only quickly skimmed the rules on the train down, nethertheless we played through 4 or 5 quick games and had a lot of fun […]
Saga is the new(ish) game on the block from Gripping Beast and Tomahawk studios. It pits small warbands against one another in the dark ages period, specifically 793 – 1066. We have had an eye on this for nearly a year now, and after seeing the Demo game at Salute […]
Not really a proper games weekend due to the lack of James and space to play a large game. Originally the guys were supposed to come down to help clear the jungle that is the back garden, but due to some heavy snow we ended up just having birthday beers, cake and a few boardgames. Includes first play throughs of "X-Wing" and "Conquest of Nerath" - reviews to follow shortly. Cake awesomeness thanks to Lorna

Photos from a day out at the imperial bird of prey academy [imperialbirdofpreyacademy.com]. An awesome day out I would recommend everyone to try out (Just don't go via groupon)
Back on Alex's boat after salute. I think we got a game of Settlers of Catan in, and far too much drinking. A bit slack in terms of gaming, but a great weekend
James hosts July's games, drinking, and Indian cuisine appreciation weekend. Considering the game boards and scenery were knocked up the night before, the whole setup looked ace. We got to try out SAGA for the first time and got a good 5 or 6 games played.
So what do you get for your hard-earned cash? Lets get the predictable stuff out of the way You get a Chopped down version of the rulebook, which has the core rules and is downscaled from A4 to A5. A size which makes it great for Chucking in the miniatures […]
What can I say, yeah, they got me again. Dark Vengeance is the latest “Limited edition” boxed set from GW. Following 4 years of regret never having picked up the limited edition space hulk (now going on ebay for a cool £200 a shot, four times its retail price) I […]
In drupal 6, the variable $result is available in search-result.tpl.php. The commented section at the top of this file makes no mention of this variable, so if you want to do something as simple as showing the created date on a node instead of the modified date, then you’re in […]

The 5 of us had been playing ‘World of Warcraft’ for a few years prior to this, each of us was a member of a raiding guild (either 1st or 4th best on server depending). This was back in ‘classic’ when the level cap was 60, Raids needed 40 players, […]
Of all the games ever released by Games Workshop, in my opinion one has always stood head and shoulders above the rest. The rules are ambiguous and poorly tested but the concept is perfection given injection-moulded, punched-card form. Instead of taking on your mates, you team up to venture into […]
A series of articles tracking the progress of a 28mm World War One project, using The ‘Great War” Rules by Warhammer Historical. There has been a bit of a surge in the popularity of World War One wargaming in the last couple of years, and some great rulesets and ranges […]
This took me a lot of trawling forums to find a fix for, so i figured I’d write up a quick piece to help anyone else who has run into this problem. The back story I picked up a graphics tablet on amazon, mostly for 3D modelling in Sculptris, and […]
Match 5 – Tom vs Rich The Normans Again formed up their “Bastion”, this time in the rocky ground. The Vikings came head on, determined to weather the hail of arrows to make it into close quarters Careful use of cover mitigates the Norman ranged attacks – Toms Warlord, Berzerkers […]
