Salute 51 Part 2 The Tables

 

After my quick brake I headed back in to the hall and had a look around all of the gaming tables at the show.

Salute 51 Part 1

 

It's that time of year again Salute is back and It my first visit back since 2019 and I have been looking forward to walking around the Salute hall.

The sun was out and I was ready for a good day of miniatures and miniature gaming.

Painting and Hobby: Lost Patrol

I have been thinking about if I should paint this box set for ages... will I do a good job or not...

But my aim is to paint what I have in my collection so it's time to take the plunge and get it done.

What's Old Is New Again..

 Well it's been a minute.

So some of my regular visitors to the site have probably noticed I have not posted a new post or anything on social media for about a year or so now.

There has been a few reason for this such as life and other things taking my attention away from the hobby and just needing a little time out.

Saying this I have been keeping an eye on the blog and I can't believe since I have been away the blog has hit nearly over 142,000 views.

Thank you to all that have read or commented on my posts.

Review: Products For Wargamers House With Tall Roof

 

On todays blog post I am reviewing and making some terrain from Products for Wargamers.

I met James from Products for Wargamers back at SELWG and he kindly gave me one of his buildings to review for you.

So let's take a look.

SELWG 2022 Gaming Show

I have been away for a while and just recently come back to social media etc as a lot has been going on for the past few months personally so the hobby has taken the back seat for a bit.

The last few weeks I have started to clear my hobby space and sort through a few things and looking through my timeline by just chance I stumbled across a gaming show called SELWG which was happing over the weekend and was very close to me.

So I could not say no and popped along to Lee Vally Sports Center in London and decided to take a look.

Painting & Hobby: Mantic Games Vanguard Nightstalkers

  

Hello again.

Its been a while as I have been a bit busy with work and life stuff so I have not had much time to hobby but it does brings me on to todays post.

We recently had a glorious Easter weekend which saw unusual for England some sunshine and warm weather. More importantly I had a bit of hobby time but not much which made me come up with a plan.

Painting & Hobby: MDF Buldings Project

 

I have noticed in my vast terrain collection that I don't have many fantasy buildings.

 I don't know why this is the case just maybe something I just did not really think about. I have one or two prices that can fill some space but I feel I need a little more especially after playing Mordheim.

As I am on a quest not to buy anything new and paint/use what I have already in my to do pile I thought I would have a look and see what I can use to make some more buildings.

Painting And Hobby: Update Feburay 2022

 Well its been a busy few weeks for me with work and with my hobby time.

Firstly you may have noticed the blog has had a little refresh and has a snazzy new logo.

I decided to make the logo more clean and hopefully represent not just this blog but also any future projects online that I may pursue.

Thanks to my brother for the new logo designs.

So other then the new logo and blog refresh what have I been up to?

Well let's take a look.

Painting & Hobby: Warhammer 40,000 Chaos Cultists

 

    One of my objectives for this year is to reduce the grey pile and try to work through miniatures and projects that you just don't get round too finishing.

One project that I have been putting off for a while is to paint the remaining 10 Chaos Cultist that came with the Dark Vengeance box for Warhammer 40,000 a few years ago now.

I did managed to paint 10 for a Shadow War Armageddon campaign which you can see here but never got round to finish the last 10.

So it was finally time to get them finished.

Review: DMB Games Dungeon In A Box Subscription Box 1

 Today on the blog I have a review of a new monthly subscription box from DMB Games called Dungeon in a box.

DMB Games specialise in making all sorts for keen adventurers such as dungeon tiles and accessories sets and even provide a painting service if you want your dungeon ready to play out of the box. 

DMB Games were kind enough to send me over their very first edition of there new subscription box.

  Let’s take a look inside.

Painting & Hobby: Death Guard Kill Team

Happy New Year!

I hope you all had a great holiday.

As the last days of the year drew to a close I continued on with painting miniatures in the grey pile that I can use as posable Kill Teams.

I decided to have a go at 3 Death Guard miniatures that came form an Issue of Conquest magazine.

 In 5th up until 7th edition Warhammer 40,000 I used to play Death Guard as my main army but as I have note played 40k in a while I have not painted the new style of Death Guard so Kill Team is a good excuse.

Painting & Hobby: Mines Of Moria Terrain & Moria Goblins

 As you may have seen in my Battle Of Balin's Tomb review (you can read this here) I added some of the Mines of Moria terrain to the gaming board to make it more 3D.

 I also added 22 Moria Goblins instead of the 12 in the box as I had some extra and thought the game could do with  more to get that horde feel.

Let's take a look.

Painting and Hobby: Necron Royal Warden

 As I painted the Space Marine Lieutenant model from the Imperium magazine as a Space Wolves Captain (you can see the post here) in my last Paining & Hobby post I thought as its been made I might as well paint my first Necron. 

Yes thats right I have not painted a Necron before.

Review: Lord Of The Rings Battle In Balin's Tomb

 

20 years ago Peter Jackson released the first film in his trilogy for Lord of The Rings The Fellowship of The Ring. 

Around this time Games Workshop released a miniatures game based on the new film.

In celebration of 20 years of the film Games Workshop have released a new board game/miniatures game which is based on one of the famous scenes in The Fellowship of The Ring The Battle in Balin's Tomb.

Let’s Take a Look.

Painting and Hobby: Space Wolves Captain Kill Team Edition

 

Continuing on with the Space Wolves theme I decided to convert the Space Marine Primaris Lieutenant from the first Imperium magazine to a Space Wolves Captain to add to my new Kill Team.

Back In The Game: Space Wolf Kill Team

 You may have notice that I have been away for a bit. 

If you have seen my social media posts I explained I was away to work on my metal health which has suffered over the last year. It came to a point were I needed to get some guidance and help. Posting the explanation was a hard thing for me to do as I don’t usually post personal things on line but I am not ashamed to say I needed the time to step away and needed help.

Since taking the brake and seeking guidance the the fog has started too clear. 

Review: Warhammer 40,000 IMPERIUM

 

Games Workshop and Hachette are back with another weekly magazine to get you started in the world of Warhammer 40,000.

Let's take a look at what you get in issue one and what to expect in the future.

Review: Acid House Terrain Portable Sci Fi Wargame Terrain

As gamers we all have the aged old problem of having enough space for our miniatures and storage space for all our terrain. Not only that carrying terrain around to gaming clubs or your friends house can be a hassle.

Well if you are playing Sci Fi games and are short on space I may have a portable solution for all your terrain needs.

Acid House Terrains Portable Sci Fi Wargame Terrain is a card based terrain system that is easy built and packed away and only takes up the space of a board game.

After their successful first print run Acid House Terrain are back on Kickstarter with the second print run.

Acid House Terrain has kindly sent over a box for me to review so lets take a look inside the box.
