The March of Progress

So who's got two thumbs and had some miniatures displayed in the GW Official Flickr Photo Pool yesterday?

I do actually wear polonecks sometimes.

A Time for Heroes

EXT: Herdstone Jr

There is no such thing as a completed army.

Sink or Spin

A-dungeoneering we shall go! Back to the Dwarf King's Quest, and after the easy mode of the last mission, Dungeonmaster Kraken was promising us something more challenging.

Dungeon Saga, Dwarf King's Quest - Mission 6: Turned Around

To show he meant business, he even skipped the prologue...

Well, in keeping with previous spoilerific intros, it did contain grid references for the traps. 

Extreme Dwarven Makeover - III

Chaos. The big end game threat in the campaign.

Northmen? Check. Snowstorm? Check. Five bloated novels and no sign of any plot threads being tied up? Check.
It's official, Winter is Coomin. 

Bring it.

Extreme Dwarven Makeover - II

Ah. The dead have risen against us, and the von Carsteins are here. My joy knows no bounds.

At least it's not all bad news, right?

Extreme Dwarven Makeover - I

Invigorated by my thorough rinsing, I had a second crack at the Karaks.

A New Dawn. Dwarf Dawn. Dwawn.

Dwarven Total Warhammer, round two!

Dungeon Saga Masters of Evil (apparently)

Ahh Dungeon Saga... that cuckoo in the nest that somehow managed to get beaten up by the nest's original occupants.

"Maybe we could build a Bronze Tower?"

It's a good dungeon bash for all that, and as we're approaching the final few adventures, I thought I'd better pull my finger out and paint the end-level bosses.

The Fat Man Sings


Yeah, Herne's really let himself go since the 80s.

Back in the Saddle


 So I still collect Warriors of Chaos. Just in case anyone forgot.

Batfinks

These have been cluttering up my in-tray for months.

Lunchtime HeroQuest #1 - The Maze

I'm putting this one under the category of 'why didn't we think of this before?'


Read on, stranger...

Back from the Dead


Poor old Dungeon Saga. Not even a year old, and already hopelessly eclipsed by The Silver Tower in our hearts, minds and painting in-trays.

The Horrors... The Horrors

The cellophane wrapping has barely left my Silver Tower box set, and I'm already assembling and painting.

Warhammer Quest Silver Tower: Pink Horror
You mean it's not going to sit in the leadpile for several years?
What heresy is this?

I've kicked off with the models I've been eyeing up since my introduction to the hobby in 1991 - the horrors!
