Under Brendan’s instructions I have entered tournament on the mainland. God bless Patrick who had agreed to suffer my bodged together lists to get me prepped! I am really interested to see what competition gaming looks like out there. It has been some time, maybe 15 years since I battled in tournaments, I think Tom… Continue reading Mid July

May Round Up
Been about a month so will round up what I’ve been up to. Been away with work and poorly so less than I’d hoped but not as little as I feared! I started reading my favourite book again. Do people have those/ do that. Every couple of years I reread The Player of Games by… Continue reading May Round Up
Southwight War
Zak at the club had been wanting to try The Old World so got paired up with me. Tom and his filthy Bretonnian Lord and Patrick with his lightning fast High Elf cavalry! Zak and I definitely had the numbers but I think we didn’t make them count! We played the tactic of keeping our… Continue reading Southwight War
The Old World Playing and Painting
I’ve not yet added the mandatory two types of static grass but pretty pleased. He now needs an army to command and an opponent that doesn’t mind that he is a death machine! I know. I hadn’t realised I’d missed it but I completely had. I was playing with a sub optimal Ork list with… Continue reading The Old World Playing and Painting
First Club Game, TK painting continues, Stevo makes a purchase
First time since January I made it to the and I got to play the game, that’s right Warhammer the Old World. I was up against Pat and Tom. Pat had the world’s smallest High Elf army and Tom ran quite a balanced Bretonnian force. I took Orc and Goblins, what I hoped was a… Continue reading First Club Game, TK painting continues, Stevo makes a purchase

We played three games and I drank too much beer! Andy went for a classic central castle but didn’t launch… Continue reading June
End of May
Got back to Game of Thrones this week, demo game for Simon at the club. He seemed to like it, and it was an awesome battle! My Nordland army is one of the poorer provinces and I see the posting there for the Reiksguard to be the one that attracts the worst of the regiment,… Continue reading End of May
Final Post of March
So technically it’s April today but everything hobby related happened in March. I’ve had requests on the old scenery and you can see it in a game later. Spoilers, Patrick defeats me again! I think this is becoming a familiar theme where I am ok at killing stuff and rubbish at collecting victory points. We… Continue reading Final Post of March
March week 3 Updates
What’s happened this week, in a nutshell some painting and some gaming! Gaming first. Another great game against young Patrick! Starks vs Lannisters. I am still not good at focusing on the scenario. I play like a 12 year old at 40k. Just kill stuff and worry about everything else later. I did “gamily” move… Continue reading March week 3 Updates
March Week 2 more ASOIAF
I seem to be at sixes and sevens as to what to paint. I am still very much ASOIAF but struggling to focus on the next project. After going this way and that Patrick has pushed me towards Renly Baratheon so I think that is the way forward. I also have lots of flowers to… Continue reading March Week 2 more ASOIAF
