Greetings Wargamers and Hobbyists, and welcome once again. This time around, I bring you a review of a set of models from MOM Miniatures; The Breakers! From the Wastes they came... I found these miniatures while searching for something to use as 'Fallen' for my Varangur army for Kings of War. There happened to be a post on Facebook advertising the MOM Miniatures 25% discount sale for Black Friday. Kings of War being the game that it is, Varangur players have used all sorts of models as Fallen. Gamers have selected various Games Workshop Chaos miniatures such as Chosen and...continue reading

Greetings Wargamers and Hobbyists, and welcome. I was going to make this a review of a set of recently purchased models.

For me, gaming started way back in the early 90s. Since then,...
Greetings Wargamers and Hobbyists, and welcome to my second article on this topic. Previously on 'Playing Wargames with Younger Gamers'... In the last article, I talked about what it can be like playing miniature wargames with younger players. I covered my approach to making games accessible to younger gamers, and about ways of engaging them and keeping their interest. I am going to talk this time about a game of Kings of War that my son Oscar and I played. Setting Up I have found that giving a younger player as much choice as possible in gaming is a good...
Greetings Wargamers and Hobbyists, and welcome. Here we are again, and this time around I would like to talk about record keeping - 'lists, lists and more lists of dead, wounded, and gazetted Sharpe'!

As a new edition of a fantastic game becomes available for pre-order from Games Workshop soon, I am reminded of my days in the Underhive, and of a guide I wrote a few years ago as an overview of a campaign setting for a revival at our club, which may soon happen. I give you, the traveller's guide to 'The Placids'. The Placids The Placids is an area of the Underhive which is well and truly on the borderland between the Underhive and the long dark of the sump. The recent discovery of a...
