Hi All I thought I should put a quick blog post up with the entries for our Diorama competition which is running courtesy of Boss Minis and Warlord Games.

Read more "Soviet Naval Brigade Part 4 – How is a Mammoth like Richard Gere?"So, the challenge was a 1000 point army in 6 weeks. As those of you I met at I17 know, I made it – just!

Read more "Soviet Naval Brigade – Part 3 – Hello Sailor and/or Comrade"Following on from part 1 of this series here; progress is continuing on the Naval Brigade of the Destroyer Oktober.

Read more "Not Perfect or “How I learnt to stop worrying and embrace tabletop standard”"So we’re back!

Read more "Soviet Steel – The Mammoth Heavy Walker"In all the months since the release of K47, at no point have I stopped and thought “just what can you do with a starter box?”. I was at a new store near Coventry a couple of days ago where there was a lot of interest in the starter boxes, and I realised just […]
Read more "Soviet Steel: The Soviet Starter Set for Konflikt ’47"I originally wrote this in December and have meant to publish it for a while. I think part of me was waiting for us to do a group feedback for the event in Bedworth but with everything that’s happened in the last couple of months getting a hole in the schedule for the 4 […]
