Well, I certainly haven't gotten around to updating this for awhile! I've really hit a funk lately and have done very little painting or hobbying...though somehow new models keep showing up... Weird how that works out. On the plus I have however done A LOT of gaming! Mostly LOTR, but some 30k and 40k as... Continue Reading →
Battle Companies (Goblins) – The Quest to Fornost – Game 5 – Mirkwood
Intro: Chapter 5 - Arachnid Ambush As soon as they entered under the canopy of the woods the light and power of the sun were almost instantly wiped out.

Intro: Chapter 4 - Flight of the Uruk's As the sun rose slowly into the morning sky, Dhatta came back into the run down farmhouse the warband had been staying in.

Battle Companies (Goblins) – The Quest to Fornost – Game 3
Intro: Chapter 3 – Ambush by Firelight The skies close to Mirkwood were always a little darker. The air a little fouler.

Battle Companies (Goblins) – The Quest to Fornost – Game 2
Intro Chapter 2 - Of Trolls and Treasure One by one the soaked and frozen band of Goblins pulled themselves from edge of the lake.

Small scale skirmish action with character customisation and rewards for every model. Lose an arm, gain heroic abilities, find rare equipment, or even death can await your plucky band of...

A Strong Weekend of Hobby
Well this past weekend was a long one (4 days) and I managed to go on a rather mad and sorted hobby spree. I was all over the place. Terrain, oldhammer 40k, LOTR, 30k...It was glorious. The first thing I got down to was building up the last of my old era tank hall. I... Continue Reading →
We cannot get out. The end comes … drums, drums in the deep … They are coming.
Last night myself (the Goblin general), Andrew (the Dwarven general) and the campaign organizer sat down to plan how we will run our (re)conquest of Moria campaign. This will take place in the early 4th age with the Goblins already controlling Moria and Andrew fighting his way in from the East Gate. We haven't locked... Continue Reading →
I’m still alive :)
Well I have rather failed at maintaining this haven't I. Life has been busy, summer has been crazy. I was going to put up some battle reports on here from the Fate of Konor campaign I was doing with my friends but fun fact: Making battle reports takes a good amount of work!! I still...
