I personally have a different take on this, it’s more to do with the availability of plastic 28mm figures than if the game fits into a fantasy or historical genre. In terms or overall gameplay I see no difference […]

Pledge: Finish work on a monster and start another
Here goes for a big think on the topic
Historical wargaming recruitment, I don’t think there’s much that can be done to catch the fancy of people without their initial interest and some well painted minis on a board. I agree with the previous sentiments of of the built-in interest of old guys. I…[Read more]

Thanks for the Golden Button! I’ve must add that not all of the terrain on the boards was made by me : it’s a club effort. Re. Historical games. I’m historical curious (dark ages and medieval) but I find […]

Pledge: Get some more units finished for the SCC Dogs of War. We are at the 2/3 point and I don’t feel like I’m far enough progressed to get everything finished the way I’d like. I’m also distracted by Kings of War 4th Edition which I really like the look of and I’ve found a few bargains online so more on that after the SCC is ov…[Read more]

Here’s mine. He is the Saladin free give away miniature from Salute this year. He’s made by Wargames Atlantic. Salah ad-Din Yusuf ibn Ayyub was a Kurdish noble who rose to rule. Certainly noble enough. I’m actually using him as the Emir of Bornu-Kanembu for my Darkest Africa Savannah Knights army.

Thanks for the button! I’m finishing up the rest of the mooks as we speak — hopefully I’ll get the game to the table next weekend. I’ll do a quick battle report/review after I get a chance to play.
