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.

Unboxing: The Walking Dead Here's Negan By Mantic Games

Mantic Games are back with a new game called Here's Negan.

Set in the World of The Walking Dead the game is focused around a group of Survivors that must work together to clear out and secure an abandoned factory called The Sanctuary while holding off walkers.
Players must complete their objectives before the treat level reaches its maximum or the game is over.
Over seeing this task is Negan himself checking that all things are moving forward and rewarding those who pleases him and punishing that don't.

As players progress their actions will grant them reputation points and at the end the player with the highest reputation will be Negan's Lieutenant.
So you better have eyes at the back of your head as there could be a double cross awaiting you....

The game is set for 1-5 players and has narrative scenarios you can play as a one off or as a campaign and with the more players the difficulty of the situation rises.

Lets have a look whats inside the box.

Kickstarter Watch: Escape The Dark Castle...The Legend Grows..

Last year a game company named Themeborne Games went to Kickstarter with their game Escape From The Dark Castle.

A cooperative card based game thats part Fighting Fantasy part D&D that you and your fellow prisoners are trying to escape the evil that lurks in the Dark Castle.
You have to use each players skills and cunning to escape the monsters and traps that await you oh and don't forget no game would be complete with out a huge boss to defeat.

With its nod to games from the past (check the trailer video here) and its beautifully hanuitng art style and the tense game play thats never the same twice Themeborne smased their funding goal. 

This even produced an addtional expanstion called Cult Of The Dark Night...

With a very successful UK Expo Show this year Themeborne are back on Kickstarter with two new expansions join me as I take a look over the details so far.

Friday Night At The Creative Biscuit.. Company Of Iron & Scythe Round 2.

Its another Friday night meet up this month at The Creative Biscuit..

As Riot could not make it tonight I thought I would do the rounds.

SUMMERs been and gone..

Well as you can see I have not managed to post on here for over two months. Its been an interesting summer as its been mixed with life stuff and lots of DIY....

So what have I been up to gaming wise well sadly not much. I popped down to the creative biscuit in July to have a go of gore chosen which was gate fun with Matt and Lano but also very devastating as in one roll of a 6 I was out of the game due to Lano's hot dice and unfortunate fate card.

Ale and gaming why not.

Ed finally moved into his new flat and invited me to christen his new gaming board with some Ales thrown in. How could I say no..

It was Eds Retribution vs Khador. well Butcher...

Don't Like the look of that big fella!

Armour and more Armour

As we did not have any steam roller packs we decided just to go smash. Ed won the roll and started first.

As normal in war machine it was run run run first turn even though I tried a pop shot with my destroyer.

Ed starts to move in and his infantry start to move in position to cause my jacks some pain! then the big fella moves in!

Ed begins chipping away at my jacks but luckily the mechanics are more the up for the challenge to fix them.

I kill his mage hunter assassins and some of his infantry but they have vengeance. Its not great.

I have to feat but I can only managed minimal damage ( Khador dice rolls strike!) to his colossal  while he manages to destroy 3 heavies 2 on the charge and with models that have weapon masters and it hurts..

The only thing I can do is try to protect butcher from all sides by blocking with other models and see if I can do an epic butcher vs colossal match up.

But even with my remaining models chipping at the remains of Eds infantry and colossal butcher is defeated..

A good game that would have been a lot tighter I feel if my jacks lasted longer but Ed had favour with the dice gods and rolled well evan triple 6's at one point, but all in all a good game and happy to have the first game at his new home.

Later on in the evening I was given my christmas present from Ed

this guy!

I was given this before the errata but I was not into mad dog spam any way and can't wait to build this as I recently made a Drago out of the old metal version.

you can view this Here

Looks like christmas will be busy building as I have these two to do as well.

Better crack out the magnets.
