Lion Rampant game 14/12/2014

Played a game with Saxon Dog (David Imrie) and Stuart from Studio Miniatures last weekend.

Got my Grand Company figures on the table and let’s just say they are a very disobedient bunch of mercenaries. I found it very hard to get them moving during the game which meant my lesser troops ended up outnumbered and wiped out despite giving a good fight.

The objective of the game was to take a Holy Relic that is held in the Village and hold onto it to be the winner. Stu got to it first and the assaulting of Village by my troops to take it back killed far too many of them. They went out with a fight taking a good few Enemy Knights down with them.

I really enjoy these rules. I’m not a big table gamer unless there is a quite a few people playing nor am I a huge fan of Medievals but these rules give me a route into Medievals at a scale I like.

I'm also the proud owner of the fantastic Teutonic’s painted by David and number of other archers that we agreed on a swap for my Romans.

If you have not played them id certainly suggest giving them a try.

Gangs of New York Natives

Painted the 6 of these last night for my planned Gangs of New York game. I quite enjoyed painting these figures.

These are first 6 figures that will make up my Gang of Natives or Bowery Boys. My Bill The Butcher will be getting a repaint to lead these guys into battle for the Five Points.

"Then may the Christian Lord, guide my hand, against your Roman popery!" 

Virtual Armchair General figures are really nice. Some of the poses are a bit static but i really enjoyed painting the figures and the sculpting is good. The figures are made for Gangs of New York games and they have a quite a few in the range.

I'm glad i liked them as these are first figures ive bought from the US that got me stung for Tax annd add ons.

West Wind London mob figures are also very nice. I love the sculpts that West Wind produce. I bought these along with a load of figures for Empire of the Dead which i will also be playing at soome point once i get some stuff sorted. The West Wind figure is more chunky but I think it looks ook next to the VAG figures. Ive only painted 1 West Wind figure just now as i need i want them to have more weapons so im going to have a shot at the sculpting putting.

A bit of the old Ultra-Violence

Viddy Well little brother, Viddy Well.

This post is dedicated to the passing of a Warren Clarke who passed away on 12/11/2014 at the age of 67.

I was saddened to hear the passing of Clarke as for me he was one of they well known faces that just seemed to always be on tv. For me he will always be remembered for being in two films that i love and have watched man times in my 31 years in this earth.

A Clockwork Orange

 I.D.


When i heard of his passing i knew it was time to get the Crooked Dice figures that i had bought over a year ago at a show. I actually fits in with my new focus of gaming in that i will looking forcus on small games only and 7TV will be one of them.

This is my effort to pay respect to a great British actor and bid him farewell.
