A little project to document my foray into all games oriental themed, with a little terrain building thrown in.

My Bolt Action journey started out turning a bunch of winter Germans into an Autumnal army. This time around I wanted to go full on winter uniforms and bases for some Russian front and Ardennes gameplay.

Max aged 7 was tasked by his school to research and make an Egyption Style Shaduf - It also gave him a chance to participate in TerrainFest 2023! SO YAY!

Building a 15mm Siege of Acre Gaming Table for Crusades Gaming

After my Cheese Riot game I thought it would be good to do another historical game based on my own historical expertise which is 18th and 19th century crime, particularly in Nottingham. The idea is to take the Judge Dredd […]

I love the effect that well executed scenery can have on table top gaming. It can add an extra level of immersion and be a real pleasure to look at, which should be no surprise as it is an Art […]

A project covering my exploration of Trench Offensive by Pandyman Entertainment.

I just have finished all my miniatures and Terrain for my Blood&Steel game table.

The WW3 starter box, a first go at 'what if' Modern forces..

Dead By Lead. Dead Man's Hand Redux. Fistful of Lead: Reloaded. OK, Gerry. You win. Having bought the Reaper Miniatures Cowboys & Gunslingers a couple of years ago I needed a reason to paint them. Dead By Lead gave me […]

So after watching XLBS I thought I would create a project to cover my return to the American Civil War. This is in effect a kind of combination of the following: 1. An Autumn Clean Challenge 2. A new army […]

I recently got my hands on some of the gorgeous metal miniatures from Medbury. I thought it would be neat to show off the painting I had done on them AND where it's taking me when it comes to expanding […]

This project is about my journey into The Barons War, a game published by Footsore Miniatures. It will be a project I will add to over time as I add more to the game.

After collecting Blood and plunder miniatures for years, the 'Raise the Black' Kickstarter finally motivated me to jump into the game and teach our local Pirate Club how to play their first wargame...

Somehow this scene from the underwhelming BBC series 'The Witchfinder' stuck in my head (clip contains swearing https://youtu.be/hWpOF9LeZBo). In an effort to exorcise it from my mind I'm going to recreate it via the medium on 28mm metal miniatures.

My research and army building for the upcoming kickstarter Blood and Crowns

After seeing a lot of talk about western games, I picked up Dead Man's Hand at salute along with some miniatures along with What a Cowboy. As I don't have any terrain for this I finally decided to start the […]

As part of my spring clean challenge spring cleaning effort I uncovered about half a dozen more part done projects - far too many to sit on till next spring so I figured I’d start actually trying to complete them […]

A small project to get some models done to play a few games...

An annual show dedicated to 6mm wargaming The Joy of Six held in Sheffield is now on its 10th year.

One of history's great 'so ridiculous it's true' moments. The 1month, 1week, 1day 'war' against crop destroying Emus that the Australian Army lost.. and a very fun little game set by 2D6 Wargaming. Mechanically it's a bit like the old […]

Building forces for the Barons War rules and its supplements.

I dropped lucky a couple of weeks ago and managed to get Blood and Plunder starter set... As with Sea Dogs it is centered on a friend' two Neices as characters.

Faustus Furius is a fast and furious, tongue in cheek table-top game based very loosely around the chariot races of the ancient world and adaptable to any racing situation.

Step into the streets and alleyways of the ancient Roman Empire. Those streets have become rife with carnage and unrest in these uncertain times. Gangs of brutal Fighters are used as weapons to exert the will of their paymasters. These […]

Back to Egypt and the New Kingdom for more 10mm Old Glory goodness

On July 4th, 2026, Americans will celebrate 250 years of independence. This long-term project is the way to get there. I have been interested in the history of the creation of the United States for a very long time and […]

Starting the painting for the Clash of Katanas army. It is going to be rather large as I basically bought everything Samurai from the Perry twins. I did want some mounted samurai with Umi, and had to find them from […]

Borders Wars: Under a Reiver Moon is a new skirmish game for raids by the Border Reivers in the mid to late 1500s on the Borders of Scotland and England. Like many periods throughout history, the outlaws have been romanticised […]

A project to help me focus, and push forward with the game.

For a long time I have been sat on two boxes of Perry's Wars of the Roses Infantry. I think they were free with a magazine subscription. I want two late medieval armies to battle it out. Nothing historically accurate […]

I am going to clean up the awful first attempt at painting US airborne from years ago and finish this army.

The game SAGA has been of interest to me for years, but I’ve never taken it beyond just an interest. My young son (just turned 13) is now expressing a desire to do some wargaming more seriously, and has a […]

Waffen SS Charlemange Army based around the defence of Berlin where they worked alongside the Hitler Youth and the 11thh SS Panzer division. they will be done in Oakleaf camo, as I imaine them in the initial battles in around […]
