Adventures in Wargaming

  • November 2021 Project Update

    Remember when I said October was busy? November was even busier. Between family stuff, Necromunda campaign wrapping up and starting a Patreon, my actual painting time was pretty limited. But at the same time the “hobby” time was pretty productive, with a fair number of blog posts and scenarios produced. Project 365 Lets take a…

  • Fantasy – Musongo The Wanderer

    As any fan of the blog can see, I am a fan of the Chaos Warriors from Games Workshop. I’ve painted the Underworlds group, I’ve painted both the old and new warriors. I even have a set of cavalry to paint up, although the sight of horses is perhaps slightly concerning. So, you might have…

  • October 2021 Project Update

    October was a busy month between work and playing in a Necromunda campaign (and the return of Escape from Tarkov to steal my late night gaming time) which left barely any time or motivation for painting. But on the plus side, I did only buy a few tiny extra pieces… Project 365 Lets take a…

  • September 2021 Project Update

    Well a little later than usual. So going to say – September felt like a hard month. Generally low on energy and focus across all things, so naturally the painting suffered a touch. But at the same time, managed to get some game time in which is always a plus. On the other hand, I’m…

  • August 2021 Project Update

    August is gone. Not the most summery of months for me, I ended up getting my second jab and falling ill on week off (not related, was just run down from work). On the other hand, I got a ton of stuff done hobby wise – painting, printing and writing. So overall, pretty good! Also…

  • The Empress’s Hounds – Episode 1 Game 1

    If you want more information on what’s going on, as well as the story so far, don’t forget to read the introduction page. Scene 1 – Forest Clearing. Alistair Von Ferrumgard, leader of this band of Swordmasters watches stoically as his pupils form up in two groups of two and prepare for a mock duel…

  • The Empress’s Hounds

    An advantage of moving back to Leeds was bringing me closer to friends and family which brings with it the advantage that I have a much wider base of people to see and play games with. One of which is my Sister, who runs her own blog covering her hobbies. She is not really a…

  • ChargeReal Designer Notes – Introduction

    Earlier this year I announced I was taking a sidestep in my Ultramodern wargaming. As much as wargaming the real world was interesting, I was getting distracted by some of the surrounding “noise” you get from playing things that for some people are very close to home. The other reason for making the step was…

  • July 2021 Project Update

    July, another hard month on the old brain but still slowly working through it. At least the heat wave is over. That said, productive month for painting. Also managed to do a little bit of a tidy up, part 1 of fixing up my workspace. The room I work in is mostly done, but I…

  • June 2021 Project Update

    Jesus Christ, last month was one from hell. Sleep pattern gone to heck, generally feeling worn out and tired most of the time and all this in spite of having a week off at the start of it. On the plus side, I got stabbed in the arm by some Pfizer so I’m hopefully on…

  • Adventures in Midgard – “Prologue”

    Well it’s been quite a while – I started talking about Fantasy Skirmish way back in August 2018, with the purchase of Open Combat and the Frostgrave sprue. Fast forward almost 3 years and I FINALLY have put some fantasty figures on the table and played a game of them using Open Combat by Second…

  • May 2021 Project Update

    Welcome to June! May was busy and so I ended up… Wait. That picture seems… different to last month. Something is off. It’s almost tidy. Oh yeah – I upgraded my office/hobby room with a new piece of furniture. I’m probably going to do a little thing on it (mostly because I love it) but…

  • Fantasy – The Disciples (Chaos Warriors)

    I’ve written about my first lot of Chaos Warriors (the Underworlds Warband) in a previous post. For me, that group was always going to be the introduction into painting a full force of the heavily armoured icons for skirmish games. That first post includes my screed on why the Chaos Warriors are so awesome and…

  • April 2021 Project Update

    Welcome to May! April was a pretty successful month for getting stuff done but oh boy do I have some cool stuff to get to work on, as well as it murdering my ratio! Project 365 First up, lets take a look at the numbers and oh god… Well in good news, I continued to…

  • Fantasy – Rhazgra the Seneschal and Retinue

    Yep, it happens to the best of us. Eventually anyone playing Sci-fi or Fantasy finds themselves looking at Chaos Warriors and reflecting on just how cool they look. They combine the glorious appeal of knights in armour but with that dark fantasy baroque look that means they just drip with character. They are the warriors…
