Still have absolutely no idea what I am doing, but this just came in the door.

Understand it’s from 3rd edition, but awaiting the new version, it’ll provide a starting point I guess!

Cracking evening playing Battle of Hoth.

Really impressed with this version of M’44 - still holds the same simple, effective base mechanics but with such a characterful twist added. Definitely recommend!

That was fast. New adventure awaits for 2025 - 2026. Open to any advice and this we’re into a whole new world!

With the opportunity to try Age of Sigmar over the next year, I have just purchased my first AoS box.

I have absolutely no idea what I am doing, though the quasi-High Elf nature of LRL appealed.

Starting with playing Spearhead and we’ll go from there I guess!

Solid eBay find arrived - Brand new, unopened. Have wanted to pick this up for a while and should be pretty good for long Club gaming evenings or over a weekend!

That said - these two hit equally as hard. Grew up with these - they were, and remain, my Warhammer 40,000.

The most iconic piece of Warhammer 40,000 artwork. Ever.

Very little (if any!) hobby at present as the staff course picks up pace.

Wanted a treat so pre-order the incoming Warhammer 40,000 Character Encyclopaedia for myself. Looking forward to giving this a look with a cuppa tea some evening!

Great morning visiting Colours 2025 for the first time with @joewargamer.bsky.social in Newbury. Very restrained purchases (for now), but did pick up @footsoreminiatures.bsky.social’s The Barons’ War (2e). Hoping to do some Outremer in due course!

Reading online articles is ok, but I still prefer a book. Especially for the keynote ones.

Have a feeling that my existing War Studies collection from my KCL days is going to expand considerably over the next year and this course gathers steam…

Exploring the surrounding area.

Cirencester, England. Just stunning!

Cheers mate, much appreciated. Delighted to have these (more or less) wrapped up!

Hahaha - ‘Tom’s Long Toms’ - That Level-II just got its nickname! 👍🏻😁

Preparing for Tukayyid.

Group photo - here’s all the ComGuard BattleMechs completed in the last 3 weeks.

Supporting elements (inf / armour / arty) group photo to follow.

Won’t win any painting awards, and still need decals, but these are done for the table!

Preparing for Tukayyid.

Heading into the August Bank Holiday here, so start the next (and second last) tranche of ComGuard forces onto the production line.

Finally got this into my hands last evening - care of @mcribbhistory.bsky.social and @aquestingvole.bsky.social.

Essentially completes the old Warhammer Historical collection, whilst also posing some interesting hobby projects for 2026.
