Finished some #KingsOfWar Northern Alliance tribesmen, was trying to capture the feeling of the old 40k and Antares rulebook covers. Will do another regiment to sit on the flag side to make a horde once I’ve had a bit of a break :)

Bought Bullet🖤 this week. It’s a Tetris or Puyo Puyo like boardgame. Had a great time solo and Vs in my first few games. Really impressed they pulled off that puzzle game feel in cardboard!
