    The Last News Stand: 08/11/2026

    Yep, you’re reading the title right. After 150 editions and as the 900th post on my blog, I think it’s time to hang up the news hat and bring The News Stand to an end. But, we do still have one more run at the news, so read on for more!

  • 2018 in Preview

    2018 in Preview

    We’ve taken a look at what happened in 2017, let’s take a look at what’s coming up in 2018. Targets The main plan is really just to keep going with the current plan as a base level. 2 posts a week works out pretty well, with Wargaming Week taking about an evening so the rest of the week’s hobby time is free to work on whatever is needed for the main post. However, I am going to start working on a buffer of posts (probably impressions of older models or tactics) that I can slot in to the calendar when…

  • 2017 in Review

    Time to talk State of the Union. My Christmas break blog reading was packed with people talking about how their blog had done in 2017 and what they had planned for 2018. I always like reading these posts so I think it’s time to add my own to the pile. As is traditional, it may get a bit navel gazing-y. The Blog So let’s talk about how 2017 went for the blog. The big thing is that this year is the first year that I’ve focused entirely on the wargaming. In previous years, I had a mix of posts covering…

  • Wargaming Week(s): Christmas Break 2017

    Wargaming Week(s): Christmas Break 2017

    Let’s start, covering the 19th of December 2017 through to the 7th of January 2018. But before that, its my birthday today! And to celebrate, its my first day back at work! BLOG STUFF Since the last Wargaming Week I posted up two articles. The SAS CT Response Impressions (I really like them) and the second part of the The Great Big Modern Wargaming Comparison article. Both of these did pretty well and I’m happy with the tail off – the two weeks I had with no posts still had a nice background number of views. The plan for this week…

  • Going on Break

    We’re here! The last post of 2017! Post number 113 for 2017. I really hope you all enjoy the new part of the Great Big Modern Wargaming Rules Comparison. They are a bit of bastard to write but hearing people talk about the end result makes it all worthwhile. To make things easier, I’ve actually compiled both parts of the series into a single page that can be found at https://hntdaab.co.uk/blog/wargaming/great-big-modern-wargaming-rules-comparison-complete-edition/. So if wanting something long to read over the Christmas break, here is an option! I’m taking the next two weeks off to enjoy my Christmas holiday, see family and…

  • The Great Big Modern Wargaming Rules Comparison 2: Electric Boogaloo

    The Great Big Modern Wargaming Rules Comparison 2: Electric Boogaloo

    Before we start a disclaimer: I have done some writing for Skirmish Sangin (including the latest book) and I am listed in the Spectre Operations book as a play tester. Last year I wrote the Great Big Modern Wargaming Rules Comparison as a way to share some of the information about the hobby which I had gathered over the years. To say it was successful is to put it mildly – it’s among the top posts every month and probably brings most of the traffic to the site. So, where can I take it from here? For the difficult second…

  • Impressions: Spectre’s SAS Counter Terrorism Response

    Impressions: Spectre’s SAS Counter Terrorism Response

    The final part of Spectre’s November releases was the SAS Counter Terrorism Response team. These guys may be familiar to those of us in the UK who watched the news earlier this year and noticed the guys in tactical gear alongside the police. All the operators are wearing civilian clothing (with no kneepads and only a few pockets on the trousers) with plate carriers, battle belts and helmets to help them perform their role. The team also wear mesh facemasks which is an unusual choice as it’s an item more commonly seen on airsofters. However, it does a good job…

  • Wargaming Week 18/12/2017

    Wargaming Week 18/12/2017

    Let’s start, covering the 11th through to the 17th of December. BLOG STUFF This week’s post was on last month’s SAS releases from Spectre! I may have not managed to finish off all the releases (thanks to an unplanned team night out for christmas that left me incapable of painting multicam for an evening) but the ones I had done I was pretty happy. This is actually the last Wargaming Week for 2017! I’ve got a bit of small update on Friday at 6pm to cover what the plans are over Christmas and into the New Year but as for the…

  • Impressions: Spectre’s November Releases

    Impressions: Spectre’s November Releases

    In my article on unreleased models written back in October, a big chunk was taken up with three previews spelling out “WHO DARES WINS”. Well November saw those figures arrive, bringing the latest version of members of the UK’s Special Forces Community to the tabletop. The big thing about this release is that all the core infantry are sold in the squad packs with any additional support in single figure packs. I think this system works well – it does mean you can’t buy individual figures for conversion work but it prevents you being unable to complete a squad because…
