The three of us headed way-down south to the far side of Canberra this weekend for the monthly session run by Canberra Regional Wargamers. They're a really welcoming bunch of gamers that focus on historical wargaming, with a mixture of ligh…
It seems as though I've been in a bit a drought, because it's been close to month since I've sat down & socialised around the gaming table. I was aching to dust off my burgeoning collection of 1/72 Medieval figures for a game of Lion Rampan…
There was a lot of interest with about 25 kids turning up to my classroom at lunchtime for miniatures games - run by myself - and Magic the Gathering and one or two other boardgames. Even a super dedicated group of D&D players turned up to
In any case we had a really fun, down and dirty game of Lion Rampant. German mercenaries versus the French. I just used the lists from the 2nd Edition Lion Rampant book, we rolled for terrain, and played the 'Gladiators Ready!' scenario. I
I started to experiment with different contrast paints on the horses and at first things went a little wayward and I wasn't pleased with the results, so much so that I kind of had to pull back and repaint some. That was a first for me, but
My son has been painting a few D&D figures and learning the craft of miniature painting, so here you can see his Demon/Genie character. He painted this mostly himself, with a little guidance from his old man. So I've been scratching my head…

The boxed set was great value at the time, I paid 40 dollars Australian, and it contains a sample of forces that I've been chipping away at this year. The only downside is that the sample of forces in the box are not the full compliment you…
Back to Blood Bowl this weekend. My first full game, rather than the Blood Bowl 7s we have been playing over the past few months. C- hosted the game and fielded his splendid and freshly painted Snotlings side. There was much fun to be had w…
I bought these guys a few months ago at book fair for $4! You just can't beat that. It is slightly telling however, that I'm always pleasantly surprised at how well MINIART figures 'liven up' once painted. Even with my slap 'em down style,
Once the fever of painting up a bunch of Robin Hood & Blood Bowl figures subsided, I went straight back to my ever growing queue of 1/72 figures. These nine cavalry figures were the last of the Italeri 'Crusaders' that I had started a few m…
We were introducing the game to S_, an experienced gamer but fresh to FFoL. Thankfully the rules are pretty straight forward so once we had outlined the turn sequencing and the the scenario, we were good to go. The Scenario: The Sheriff and…
