WOW! Big Battalions With Tiny Troops

I have clients who, have a real vision of what a game should be...

One gentleman is creating armies in a 1:1 ratio using 6mm Heroics & Ros miniatures.

I literally just completed the first Panzer Grenadier battalion which has taken around 120 hours to paint and 29 to base, and I think you will agree, it's an awesome sight!

Behold! The Great Gnolls Of G'Normandy

Image
I am easy pleased to be able to share with you, the concept sketches by sculpting supremo Martin Buck for the first of my 'Fantastic Tribes' range which will be produced by 'Screaming Mob Miniatures' under the 'Satanic Panic' label which will bring you ranges of miniatures just like those your parents believed would lead you into demonic black masses. In short, a range of truly retro-looking miniatures for your favourite wargames and RPGs. As I have mentioned before, all of the bodies will be available with every head variant. All the models, with the exception of the missile troops will be open handed, to accept a wide range of weapons. This means that you can have an army in which no two models have to be identical. First up, I present the Great Gnolls Of G'Normandy in all their glory... I really hope that you are as excited as I am about this truly old school range. Personally, I think Martin has truly captured the style and fee...

A Serious Post And Another Obituary But With Some More Positive Stuff At The End

Image
 I am at an age where I would expect the odd death of someone I know, but I am starting to realise that it's the younger end of the line which is getting culled.  This week I found out through a good friend that another friend in the hobby from the old days had taken his own life, bringing the total friends lost to 5 and drom that number the number lost to suicide in the last few years to 2. Now, I've been close to that I think, three times, but I've been lucky enough to be able to turn my illogical brain around and decide that the world and my enemies will not be happy if I thrive and stay alive. So, that has been my stated mission, to live long and be hated that much longer. The first time I was taken with thoughts of suicide, was when I was banned from Games Workshop Sheffield in the 80s (see my book or earlier posts) and my so-called friends allowed themselves to be bought off, trading silence as to what a set-up it was in return for part time jobs at the store. That wa...

The Passing Of A British Wargaming Legend

Image
It is with genuine sadness and heavy heart that I must record the passing of Sheffield Wargames Society founder member and long time Chairman, Steve Roberts.    I was 13 when I first met Steve (some 43 years ago, now). It was a chance meeting. I'd been playing Dungeons & Dragons for about a year and had taken some Citadel FTZ Zombies back to my Junior school to show my headteacher there, who'd always encouraged the creative arts in pupils.    He was impressed (as you'd expect) and told me that a wargames club met at the school now, on Monday nights run by a chap called Steve Roberts.    Well, of course I was interested, and together with my friend Alan Staniforth, I attended the club, to find there was no D&D...   What there was however were historical games, played by local kids with 'Big Steve' the only adult. But he ran that club like a champion, providing all the models and simple rules, which was just what you needed to hook kids in. ...
