On to day two and I was riding pretty high! I'd been up very late the night before and got up very early to finish painting, so I crashed out shortly after an evening meal and returned to my hotel room. It was certainly a different experience playing Sunday games without a hangover! Game Four … Continue reading Another Four Foot Snake Thing Pt2
Another weekend and another great event - this time it was a two day event in the form of Another Four Foot Snake thing. Last year I was one of the TO's for the event so it was great to be able to play this time. The List I made no secret that I was … Continue reading Another Four Foot Snake Thing Pt1
Yesterday saw my new army have its inaugural games at the King in the North tournament. I've had a Brotherhood army on the cards since early last year and after buying all the bits I needed for it... it sat on the shelf for 10 months. I kicked myself into gear at the start of … Continue reading King in the North 2018 Writeup
Clash this year was a whopper. 80 players attending and, naturally, some absolutely stunning armies in attendance. I had a fantastic time yet again and really enjoyed the entire weekend.

(Independent) This has caused outrage, as you can imagine, particularly amongst the tabloids because “YOU CANT DEFEND YOURSELF ITS PC GON MAD CRIMINALS HAVE MORE RIGHTS THAN LAW ABIDING CITIZENS” Except slow down. Reasonable Force Firstly, the law says … Continue reading Now for something a little different…
I just don't understand why people are so keen on siege rules for Kings of War. By siege rules, I of course mean the "assault" scenario, like the Battle for Helms Deep. Ladders at the wall, battering rams at the gates and an endless sea of bodies getting picked off by archers on the battlements. … Continue reading I don’t understand the desire for Siege
A few pointers for the visiting South Canadians (and anyone else from the scary lands known as “overseas”). Currency You picked a great time to visit. Half of our currency is currently being changed. We’ve recently replaced the £1 coin and £5 notes. £10 notes are currently being swapped out. It is unlikely that you … Continue reading Some notes for CoK overseas visitors…
You get back to your car and see the window smashed in. Missing? Your army case, containing hundreds of pounds worth of miniatures but more importantly hundreds of hours of work and an emotional attachment. It could instead be your garden shed broken into, or your garage, or any number of places - the key … Continue reading The first thing you should do if your army gets stolen
I'm an Ork player. It's in my blood to convert. It is in my nature to scratch build. If I don't make some Orky contraption each month then I start to get a bit... jittery.
