Hi everyone here’s a little look at one of the problems that plagues my house. If you’re anything like me then you will find that the piles of paints, brushes, bases and projects in various stages of completion quickly begin to overwhelm you. However recently my hobby cave has been forced to evolve. Building work at home and two sprogs has meant me giving up my hobby corner and seeking a more merger existence wherever I can find a place to put my brushes. This has had the knock on effect of forcing me to be more….Considerate to those I live with!! Here a few of the ways I’ve found that helped. Continue reading

Tale of painters….catching up
So several months ago Jimmi got me started on the idea of taking up kings of war by Mantic Games. Well as anyone who reads my posts will realise my rate of painting could be compared to continental drift but here I am with my first post.
Dreadball 2.0 is better than Bloodbowl 2016. There, I said it!
I really like tabletop sports games, they can be super quick, tactically deep, and for some reason playing a game about little dudesmen who’re playing a game feels cooler to me than playing a game about little dudesmen having a scrap.

One of the biggest pressures, for me anyway, is finding time to paint and play while also looking after two little girls with my wife.

Age of Sigmar Skirmish – Wot I thunk!
“I’ve just had this thunk, its a big chunk of thinking, a “thunk””…Bob from dinopaws
So this is a follow up article to the previous on the AoS skirmish game. Jimmi and Myself had a quick game of it last week, pitting the forces of Death against the might of the Stormcast externals. We played the fog of war battle plan from the main rule book. In this game our forces are distributed randomly across the battle field and line of sight is limited.
