    Every year I take an extended Christmas & New Year holiday.  So from mid-December to late-January I try and build and paint a new warband, plus other miscellaneous wargaming stuff. 2019/20’s project was building a new Norman / Crusader warband using the variety of Norman miniatures I had in the lead and plastic pile.

    Time for a rumpus with the Lords of the Wild This is a faction close to my heart.  I played Wood Elves but in my WHFB days and also have a large and tattered collection of Beastmen. I even have enough Minotaurs to run the Black Hills legendary warband list.  However this list just screams…

The Master of the…

  • Saga Age of Magic is now out in Australia and a few people have been asking about the different factions and how they play. So this is my first attempt at a faction review and/or play guide.  I hope you find it interesting. The Horde, what are they like? The Horde is the faction most…

  • Great Kingdoms v Horde Battle Report using Menoth (Privateer Press) and Warriors of Chaos (Games Workshop) A cold wind swept over Pelisium Moor, dispersing the mists into cobweb like clouds across the fields.        The discordant sound of jangling armour broke the morning’s silence, disturbing the water foal into the air and small…

  • First experiences with Sage Age of Magic. Last weekend I was lucky enough to get in a few games of Saga Age of Magic. The first was an 8 point game at my local club, Nunawading Wargaming Association. Brought along my old WHFB Beastmen and Dwarves ready to play as The Horde and Masters of…
