Tales from the attic: The Great War
http://talesfromtheattik.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-great-war.html
Tales from the attic. Tuesday, 7 July 2015. I finally managed to pop round to the post office to pick up my most recent kickstarter I backed. This one has been tremendous with regular updates and has arrived in a respectable timescale. So what's in the box. The usual suspects for a Richard Borg, 12x11 hex map, cards, counters, special dice and rules with 16 scenarios. Another 2 scenarios come with the deal as well as 10 artillery models. That's all for tonight but I think this will feature again soon.

Tales from the attic: December 2014
http://talesfromtheattik.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Tales from the attic. Friday, 26 December 2014. Ice and fire pt 1. I thought I'd post my first game of lion rampant for my ice and fire themed games. It will in no way follow the books but take its own path and will have many twists and turns along the way. It starts with a scenario from the rule book whereby one force has to find and safely retrieve an escaped enemy captive. She is said to be hiding in a nearby village. Immediately Rob mobilises some men and they head out. He must find his mother quickly.

Tales from the attic: 6mm dark ages
http://talesfromtheattik.blogspot.com/2015/06/6mm-dark-ages.html
Tales from the attic. Sunday, 28 June 2015. A very brief post about a little project I am squeezing into this years lot. I had picked up a copy of dux bellorum and had many ideas for miniatures. Then it struck me, play it in 6mm on 40x20 bases. This meant a unit was a single base meaning an entire force may be just 10 bases. A quick visit to baccus and using there unit builder, I parted with about £30 for both Viking and Saxon forces and some casualty markers. Dont press the red button. University, best ...

Tales from the attic. Monday, 9 June 2014. As if I didn't have enough projects on the go, 1 of the 2 kick starters i backed last year has reached the good bit. It's all very nice, but I can't help thinking, why did I back this, I have too much to paint already! Joking aside it's very good and I will put up new posts as I go through it. Half of the order is still being made but most of the miniatures and the rules are here. At least this one turned out ok. Dont press the red button. Sunday, 8 June 2014.

Tales from the attic: April 2015
http://talesfromtheattik.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Tales from the attic. Tuesday, 28 April 2015. Valhalla we are coming. Well now that a lot of other projects are out the way (all not painting or gaming based) it's time to get on with the show. So this weeks little update concerns these chaps. Scandinavian raiders. These are all metal minis bought to bulk out my plastic Vikings. They still need a dark wash to tone down the colour but there not as bad as the photo due to camera flash. Then some flock etc. That's all for now, maybe some more soon. My littl...

Tales from the attic: February 2014
http://talesfromtheattik.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Tales from the attic. Monday, 10 February 2014. Quick update on the PAVN, almost finished, just a few bits of bush and elephant grass to add before a Matt varnish spray. 208 infantry in only 10 hours, yes they are a bit rough, but there's so many I doubt anyone will notice ha ha. The main infantry force. Gun teams and command. Also in between all the infantry I got side tracked again and painted these little guys. And a big Harumph to Stevie Mid, see you've finally started following my ramblings.

Tales from the attic. Saturday, 7 February 2015. An army in a pint glass. Continuing my purge of the huge box of epic models I have put together several forces from the masses. First up for a quick build n paint will be a white scars space marine army. These guys have a very mobile doctrine so I went for lots of fast units. So a couple of hours this morning saw them built n based, should get some primer on them lunchtime and may get paint on them tonight. Ps the elephants aren't in this army! Easter Fool...

Tales from the attic: Dining table game matt
http://talesfromtheattik.blogspot.com/2015/06/dining-table-game-matt.html
Tales from the attic. Sunday, 28 June 2015. Dining table game matt. Well it's been quite some time since I've posted but I have managed the odd bit of gaming project. I had read many blogs etc about latex covered cloth mats that can be placed over everyday objects to create realistic hills and rises. So I had a rummage in the shed for suitable materials. Some wall smooth from after doing up the kitchen, some artist paint and an old jug. And of course and old dust sheet pinned down. The Blog With No Name.
