Well that's three weekends down for my attending events and show's, just one more to go next weekend in this batch at Wales Comicon in Wrexhan North Wales, more about that event next week though.
Sunday 29th May saw me at the first of the years two Partizan show's held at Kelaham Hall in Newark, Nottinghamshire, the same venue as GCN/COGS holds their Hammerhead show.
I was at Partizan running a Flames of War demo game with the assistance of Martin one of my fellow COGS members who came along to help me out. The Partizan show hosted by Newark Irregulars is more a historical based gaming show than our own Hammerhead show, however its still...

What I have been up to recently and where have I been, I will tell you.
14th and 15th May.
This saw me at Maelstrom Games in Mansfield Nottinghamshire once again.
I actually go to Maelstrom quite a bit as I only live about 20 minutes away in Chesterfield. This visit was to support GCN club 'The Tempus Fugitives' who were holding one of their very successful 40K campaign weekends at 'The Eye of the Storm'. I will point out that I did not attend as a player, I only went along for the afternoon and evening on the Saturday and for Sunday afternoon. Being as two of the GCN council were at the event, Gareth Williams and Stuart Mackaness, it...

Well, as part of the new project for Cutlass by Black Scorpion Miniatures, I have been assembling my crew of female pirates. I have used all but one Black scorpion model in my starting crew. After swapping out some weapons and changing a few poses I have now sprayed them in primer ready for painting.
As per a Facebook (Ben) request here are some pics so far:
And a final picture of what happens when someone takes the terrain away and folks really want to play Cutlass.Playdoh terrain, it's the next best thing!

Back at the 40k, finally got to field all those imperial guard I have been painting for so long. One win two losses, but hey having a lot of fun gaming.
Thanks to TF for such hard work. Thanks to all my oponents, it's been a gas.
Now to work out how to rescue two more wins tomorrow, from my obvious jaws of defeat.
Can't beat Maelstrom, spent the whole day gaming, the evening into morning enjoying a brew and a board game we found in the bar.
Hoorah win all d...

Hi all, well in order to keep my sanity at reasonably normal levels I decided to do a quick review of these new rules.
I picked up a copy of Cutlass at Legionary in Exeter at the weekend and I can say that on first inspection the book looks very nice with a good mix of colour photographs and artwork. The book is pleasing to the eye and at just over 100 pages it's a good investment for £20. The cover art is exceptional (and yes you can get "Her" as a figure) even though she is currently sold out......Bugga! Written by Gav Thorpe and Adam Clarke, it instils good expectations from the cover.
The game...

Scarborough War Games club presents:-
War Torn, a weekends war games event in Scarborough on the 25th and 26th June 2011.
Here is a bit of a run down of whats going on over the show weekend.
- Aerobatic display by the renowned Blades team
Several Blades’ pilots commanded RAF Harrier Squadrons in the most exacting of circumstances (in Iraq and Afghanistan) and one of them led the Red Arrows. Six of the Blades were Harrier pilots, two were Jaguar pilots, all were RAF instructors and Blades 1 to 4 are all former Red Arrow pilots.
The Blades fly an aircraft called the Extra 300 LP; one of the leading high-performance aerobatic aircraft...

Just realised that it's been a while since my last post. Have been super busy with sorting out the first half of operation 'Carboot Courtyard', which is to be West Cornwall games Club's big summer game. The idea came from Martin, the bastard, I didn't know they could do that, Smith, after he decided that in order to properly satisfy his inner nerd we should reduce down 63 miles of Operation Market Garden ( Holland - September 1944) into a 16 foot by 8 foot table for his birthday at the end of July.
Having agreed to this extreme idea, it was tasked to me to do the following:
Build the board! Aaarrrggghhhhh!!!!!
I must say...
