Kickstarter Watch: Reich Busters by Mythic Games

It is late December 1944 and Allied forces have got the Nazis on the ropes. However the discovery of a miraculous energy source called Vril may well throw a spanner in the works.

Nazi secret experiments on the substance lead by the Vrilmeisters, are a threat not just to the outcome of the war but to the whole world!

If they learn how to harness this power who can stop them?

 Who else but the Reich Busters...

Mythic Games are back on Kickstarter with a brand new game Reich Busters lets take a look at this new campaign.

Its All About Kings Of War Vanguard...

Well over the last few months you must have heard that Kings of War Vanguard by Mantic Games is headed to retail and Kickstarter backers have become giddy as boxes arrive on their doorsteps.

Warhammer 40000 Conquest Review

Over the last couple of months there has been a lot of buzz regarding a weekly released Warhammer 40,000 collection magazine called Conquest which is only available in the UK at the moment that will be hitting outlets as well as having a subscrition service. 

Pictures have been released online of the first 4 issue with number 1 released today at an amazing 

£1.99!!

So whats the hype about then well I managed to grab a copy and I am going to give you a review and my thoughts on this collection.

The best thing about Heroquest.....

Gamers of a certain age have found memoeries of starting their journeys with Heroquest who can forget this advert!

Well during the days before ebay (yes a long time ago it feels) I picked up a copy of Heroquest for I think £5 at the time I must have been 10. 

 I remember playing with the mins and board playing my own games not to the rules as alias I had no one to play the game with as no one I knew like gaming...

After a time it went in the loft and when I went to surch for it again a few years later.....It was gone thrown out after my parents decided to clear out the loft....Nooooo...

Its now 20 odd years later and I have been wanting to get a dungeon crawler for a while. As I was in the market for this type of game I thought I would have a look out for Heroquest.

The price of the game has skyrocketed so after scouted Ebay for a while for a bargain my luck came in..

I put a cheeky bid in for a copy of Heroquest the Advanced Quest edition wth extra minis and quests and I won...

Lets just say I was eager for it to arrive..

A Miniature Backdrop Build...

I got a little creative the other day.
I have a light box which has been working well for pictures  but sometimes you want to set a scene so I thought with the extra foam board I have from a DIY project why don't I make a scenic backdrop for my photos.

I decided to go for a natural setting allowing the backdrop to be used for different game systems and looked at doing a side of a mountain or rock wall.

Lets start with base..

Salute The Goodies..

So Salutes was a week ago now and the dust has settled and after a hectic week I am able to show you what I managed to get at this years Salute.

Khador Winter Guard Ready For Duty!

Kovnik Joe and the Mother Land will be very pleased that one of my Winter Guard units is fully painted and ready for war!

Dice Rolling & A DIY Paint Shelf.

Over the past week I have been looking around for a paint shelf to fit all my paints. Easy right well not really as it seems all the shelfs that are on sale just fit GW paint pots.

I have a mixture of dropper bottles old style GW paint post (ones with the white cap and old hexagon style) plus P3 pots which all were different sizes.
