Review: Ramshackle Games Toy Car Scale 20/23mm Accessories

In the past few years table top games revolving around Mad Max style racing has been growing in popularity. Rule books from Osprey Games such as Gas Lands have had gamers raiding cupboards and buying Matchbox toy cars and decorating them in post apocalyptic death machines.

With this in mind Ramshackle Games have made some perfect accessories to help you make your racing machines look the part with their 20/23mm Toy Car Scale Range.

Review: Your Model Box Dungeon 2.0

This month we dive deep into the dungeon with Your Model Box's Dungeon 2.0

Lets take a look inside the box.

Age OF Sigmar: Storm Strike Starter Set

So I was on Ebay (as you do) and saw this box for Age of Sigmar Storm strike. It's one of the starter sets for Age Of Sigmar.
 One thing Games Workshop has done over the past couple of years is to produce 3 differnt starter sets at 3 differnt price points for both AOS and Warhammer 40k so you don't have to invest loads on money into a huge ox set to try the game.

This box set is priced around £25 and for what you get inside its great (as you will see) the main reason I bought this was for the Nighthaunt miniatures as I want them for a warband in War Cry, I already have some chainrasps from my Shadespire set so adding these would get me a warband.

So lets take a look inside.

Display Your Miniatures The Hobby Craft Display Dome.

Over the weekend I stopped in Hobby craft as you do and stumbled upon these on the Christmas section in the store..

Age Of Sigmar Heard Stone and Update on Raptoryx Paint Scheme

The last few weeks have been quite on the hobby front due to life stuff but before all that I got to work and finished one of the new AOS terrain pieces called the Heardstone . 

This is for the new Beastman for AOS even though I don't play AOS  A) I though it looked cool to paint and B) I thought it would work well a terrain pice for War Cry maybe for the Untamed Beasts.

Path To Glory: End Of The Road

Saturday saw Lee, Riot and I ready for the last game of the Path To Glory campaign.

Lee is now ascended to Demon hood and just needs one win to claim overall victory with in the campaign.

We set up on each corner with the floating rocks on the board as we take an deep breath as its now beginning of the end..

Terrain Build: Floating Rocks

This week there was no Path To Glory so I thought I would show you how i made the floating rocks from our last game.

 The idea for the last scenario as that would be floating rocks and the warbands would be fighting on and jumping around on them.

Nothing says fantasy like fighting on flying rocks right.

Unfortunately Riot did not have the time to make these before the game so I volunteered to make them for the campaign as I never turn down an opportunity to make some terrain.

You can see the battle report they were used in here.

So I started by using some old Kingspan foam and a CD for an idea for the size of each rock.

All Aboard The Unexpected Hobby Show

As I was walking down to the shops I noticed a sign about a hobby train fair. A little bit differnt from little soldiers but thought I would take a look inside.

Path To Glory: Rocks N Roll

Saturday Night means Path To Glory and Riot and I got down to some more games to try and build our infamy to try and catch up with Lee.

Review: Gatehouse Gaming Uk Scatter Terrain Fantasy

Today I am reviewing some scatter terrain from Gatehouse Gaming UK
This terrain would be perfect for you D&D games or any Fantasy table top game.

Lets take a look at the products I have here.

Path To Glory: The Road To Ascension

Riot and my self were hoping to slow down Lee drastic progression towards demon hood. 

Review: Your Model Box June Tribal Theme

Path To Glory: Who's The Daddy

Ok so its a strange name for this blog post but it will make senses as you read on.

Saturday was another round of Path To Glory with Lee, my self and Riot in attendance to carry on this campaign.

So on to game 9

Some Scatter Terrain from Gatehouse Gameing Sci Fi Accessories

As there was no path to glory last week I thought why not make a bit of terrain.

Using the terrain from Gatehouse Gaming Sci Fi Accessories that I got from Januarys Your Model Box I decided to make use of these and make some scatter terrain.

Path To Glory: Blood On The Tracks

Another Saturday night saw more games in The Path To Glory campaign.

Tonight saw just Riot and I thrown down to try and claim ultimate glory.

Hunting for Plaguebearers...

After Saturdays game of Path To Glory I needed to get some Nurgle Plaguebearers for the next game.

As these games have been a great excuse to raid the mountains of grey plastic I suddenly had a great idea what to use.

A while ago I backed Cool Mini or Not The Others board game and it came with loads expansions that have really good chaos/demon like miniatures

Looking through the boxes I decided that the Gluttony expansion would be perfect for plague bearers and for the Oger I needed.

Path To Glory: The Long Winding Road

Saturday saw another edition of Path To Glory.

Lee, Riot and I were ready for battle but I had a feeling that after last week I would be in for it.

Path To Glory:The Road Begins

I arrived on Saturday night to Riot Hq and was informed Lee will be attending tonights game.

As we were still waiting for Lee, Riot and I went through a quick throw down which will help me with the rules as I am terrible at remembering rules.

Riot will be playing a Khorne based warband and Lee a Slaanesh...If you are up on your Warhammer law those gods don't like each other much.. and I will be playing a Nurgle based warband.

The Path To Glory: The Jolly Rotters

Tonight sees the first game in a small campaign that Riot of Riotvile fame has suggested and complied from his many rule books and games to create a rule set for his version of Path To Glory.

Review Art Of War: Nightvault/Shadespire Tokens

As many of you know who frequently visit my blog I have been enjoying playing Shadespire and I am  currently working my way through painting all the warbands.
One thing that I have notice playing is that all the tokens are all the same and sometimes you can get mixed up who's tokens are who's and theres not much individuality.

Well Art of War Studios may have the solution for you with their Shadespire/Nightvault compatible tokens.

Art of War Studios aim to design practical and beautiful tokens to make games easer. They believe in speeding up your gaming and make your gaming table look great.

Art of War Studios were kind enough to send me their Shadespire/Nightvault token set.

Lets take a look..

Review: Rosemary & Co Brushes

As miniature painters getting the right brush and one that lasts is always important and finding brushes that will last more then 5 minutes and at a reasonable price can be a case of trail an error. 

I have had brushes that I have spent a lot of money on to cheap brushes from ebay that you just have  to throw away after one use.

One brush company Rosemary and Co aim to give you quality hand made brushes at a reasonable price.

Rosemary and Co are a brush company with over 35 years of experience who cater to professional artist to miniature painters with a catalog of brushes from synthetic to Kolinsky Sable..

Rosemary and Co were kind enough to send me a range of brushes to review and put through there paces.
So lets see how I got on.

Shadespire: Ironskull Boyz

My paint brushes have been out again (well new ones from Rosemary and Co which there will be a review of soon) and this time another Shadespire Warband has been painted and this time the Ironskull Boyz bring the Waahhhh!

More pictures below

Review Atlantis Miniatures Mythology Range

Atlantis miniatures are back with a new line of miniatures from a successful Kickstarter campaign that are perfect for you dungeon crawler or fantasy/Mythical games called The Mythology Range.

Atlantis Miniatures were kind enough to send over a few of the Mythology Miniatures to review.
 so lets take a look.

A Night In The City Of Shadespire

Friday night I took a visit to Riotville and had a few games of Shasdespire with Riot and Lee.

I packed my warbands and headed over for a throw down.

I decided to have a go with my Chosen Axes as I have recently painted them which you can view here and had a go at creating a deck for the first time.

As the Axes get inspired by being on a objective after a round I made sure to include some objective cards that get me glory just sitting on them.

So the plan was to sit back get inspired and charge in.... Lets see how it went.

More Khador Winter Guard

So I have been a bit busy these past weeks but fear not I have some reviews and projects in the pipe line..
Now going through some old pictures I completely forgot that I painted another full unit of Khador Winter Guard not to long ago.

I painted these as there were just sitting there and thought why not paint a unit from a game I have played in a while.
These pictures were taken before my new camera set up which goes to show how much better my new camera is.

I went to work by painting and basing the UA and Rockets on a bit of cork and set to work painting these grey and red so they would not get mixed up with my other Winter Guard unit.

A few hours later they were done.
