Yeah yeah, I’m on hiatus (currently mostly stripping wallpaper and stressing) but that doesn’t stop the parcels from turning up and my hobby life from continuing. First of all, good news on the BPRE front – after the issues with my first box of figures, Echelon then sent over some replacements. After a little panic…

It’s the new year and I trust Twitter to work correctly as much as I trust myself in a Greggs not to buy a steak bake so I’m going back to using my blog for all the little posts and updates. Enjoy! After my New Year’s celebration in Middlesbrough, the traditional New Year Shawarma and…

One positive of tidying up in preparation to move house is going through my workshop/printing room and finding things I’ve 3D printed but haven’t yet had a chance to actually paint and get on the tabletop. Having owned a 3D printer for almost two years (that’s also concerning), I have had one or two things…

Hey everyone! So the blog has been a little quiet in June – I didn’t intend for it to be quite so quiet, it just worked out this way. First up, I had a week on holiday down in Devon, seeing family and being completely detached from the tiny mans (except some Lego building with…

A Butcher Witch? Yeah I’ve heard of them. Looking for signs and portents in the entrails of slaughtered cows and pigs, using blood and organ as fuel for their magics. Frankly, it’s a wonder the Church of the Empress hasn’t locked them all up, but the Butcher Witches as an order are much more careful…

We joined a mercenary company operating out of Ferrumgard due our trip out to the Marches. I was surprised to find them clad in Imperial Colours and luckily they were loyal servants to the Empress rather than sim. Well armed and well equipped, they proved to be very useful on the road ahead. Scribe Feldherr,…

April is over and it’s now time to catch up on what’s I’ve been doing. A pretty good month actually, I managed to get a fair amount done! COLLECTING Shockingly, I continue on my “not buying physical models” spree, mostly because I’m just printing them instead. That said, a friend of mine and I did…

Previously on… Charge strays further from the 28mm light I assembled some buildings in preparation for a game of tiny machines of war Now, it should be said that my former housemate is someone who has managed to avoid ever collecting mainline Games Workshop, instead preferring to jump into the specialist games (such as his…

Thanks to the Easter break, my Dastardly regular opponent found himself with some free time on a Tuesday evening. Which for me meant it was time to finally get some playtesting of my fantasy rules in. I’ve mentioned them a little bit but this was the first time we actually got it onto a board,…

Another 3d printed model – this time from Vae Victis. I spotted this “Evil Paladin” among the special characters included in the Match release and just had to get to work on him. With the mask and crown, I was strongly inspired by both the Leper from Darkest Dungeon and Baldwin from Kingdom of Heaven.…

A long time ago, I picked up a few of the X-Commandos from Crooked Dice. These figures are some great 1970’s Dr Who style government goons that pop up to shoot the aliens and die in the background. This wouldn’t usually be my thing, but like anyone with a passing interest in the SAS, Crooked…

Ah boy – with all the Germans up to sneaky tricks, it’s time for some British response. And what better than to bring in a real life Super Solider. Scots and Yorks maybe be joined by her (and other SSR personnel) depending on any possible threat, ready to assist with any sneaky Nazi tricks. By…

Replace the engine with one that gets reasonable fuel mileage. Add a fume extractor so the main gun doesn’t choke the crew. Redo the wiring loops so they don’t burn as easily. Mount a new gunsight, commander vision system and the interior screens so you can actually see what’s going on outside. Attach the antennas…
