The worst part is saying my name wrong when cussing me out.

He landed so many heart shots. This chap was really fast. He would rush toward you at times and in a proper HEMA duel, he’d be thrown to the floor if he didn’t get a kill.

I walked it off. It would have been worse if I was a vampire.

Sounds about right. He did get me in the heart a couple of times as well.

It sort of compressed time in the game. It starts just as the Roman’s bugger off and runs until 400 years later. I blame the Victorians for messing up so much history. And for everything else. Bloody Victorians.

As a tinman, I've always raise an eyebrow over the wildly different armour styles in Pendragon and how they're totally the wrong period. I know it explains it in game as covering 400 years and that nobody really cares. It just feels historically wrong.

Nurgle isn't Slaneesh, they're not into looking fancy. I have a £10 voucher for GW at the moment. I'm tempted to pick one up and have a go converting it.

John Blanche inspired flying galleon - KirkD
A few months ago, I was moving my office/dungeon/work area around and started thumbing through some of my artbooks. One of the books I opened up was my copy of 'Ratspike' which is a collection of the work of John Blanche and Ian Miller. I'm a huge fan of both artists, Miller for his detailed
