Nothing like a new edition to get me spending.

A Study In Scarlet

Inner conflict, excessive pouches, casual sportwear - it's a Spider-Man for the 90s!

Marvel Crisis Protocol - Scarlet Spider

Ultimate

 Apparently, it's a venom blast, but it certainly seems like he's riding a bolt of lightning.

Marvel Crisis Protocol - Ultimate Spider-Man

Spectacular

 You wait for years for a Spider-Man, and then two turn up at once...

Marvel Crisis Protocol - Spectacular Spider-Man

Blood Bowl: The Reckoning

 


It's a game of two halves. One of them was a goblin, we aren't sure about the other.

Gravy Train


 See a bandwagon, jump on it, I say.

Time to bring out the big guns.

Cat-astrophe

 Sometimes, you can get points for trying...

Marvel Crisis Protocol - Black Cat

Saturday, 2 May 2026

The Spectacular Spinning Jenny

Or perhaps it's the Ravelling Nancy. The best superpowers are always named after C18th proto-industrial breakthroughs.

Mischief Managed

 I now have more Lokis than is good for me (or for anyone!)

Marvel Crisis Protocol, Loki, God of Mischief

Thursday, 2 April 2026

Warrior Princess

As the time of posting, Crisis Protocol has three Kings, one Queen, two Princes, one Lord, two Ladies and four Barons.

Marvel Crisis Protocol, Lady Sif

But only one Professor, so that's where hard work and education gets you.

I Say Thee Neigh!

Confused the hell out of me when I first saw him too.

Marvel Crisis Protocol, Beta Ray Bill

Manoeuvers in the Jimulthuan Quadrant: II

 

Slowly, surely, with a screech of breaking rust, the gears of war began to turn.

One Crisis After Another

 I went forth in search of new converts!

Marvel Crisis Protocol

Saturday, 21 March 2026

Hang 'Em High

The bangingest box of models GW put out in a while, there was never a question in my mind as to whether I'd get the Necromunda Hangers On. The question was 'when', and the answer was 'as soon as they were back in stock.'

Marvel Crisis Protocol event - Hydra-de-hi!

Last weekend, I treated the Hydra crew to a stay at Maplins, where the blood flowed across the Hawaiian ballroom and into the Olympic-sixed swimming pool.

Marvel Crisis Protocol event report - Hydra, Brotherhood of Mutants, Black Order, Criminal Syndicate, Midnight Sons

Four games of Marvel Crisis Protocol coming up!

Emotionally White Scarred: White Scars vs Necrons

Continuing the Jimulthuan Campaign, I, Pootle, am determined to regain full control of my home planet of Bagot Prime. This time I'm up against the Necrons led by Jhnlk (it's me, hello!).

Crisis in Zamaroon: Hydra vs Convocation

 The campaign for the Jimulthuan Quadrant is taking place across time, space and intellectual property!

Marvel Crisis Protocol battle report: Hydra vs Convocation

Hela Cool

 I think not giving her the One Ring was probably the right call.

Marvel Crisis Protocol, Hela, Queen of Hel

When Life Gives You Renegs, Make Renegade: Chaos Space Marines vs Space Marines

Warhammer 40k battle report - 10th Edition - Alpha Legion vs Mantis Warriors

It's been a dark age since I last fought on Drawbridge. Those darn cults are up in arms again, though, and someone's got to put them down.

King in the North game 3: Harlequins vs T'au

 


After a really fun game against Ultramarines (see batrep here), my last game of the last King in the North was against Alchemist Dave and his stunning T'au list.

Friday, 20 February 2026

King in the North game 2: Harlequins vs Ultramarines

 


Having lost my first game against Necrons (write-up here), my second game at this years (final) King in the North pitted my old lead Harlequins against George's beautiful Ultramarines!

Wednesday, 18 February 2026

King in the North game 1: Harlequins vs Necrons

 

It's King in the North again! And this is the last time Brapscallion is running the event (because he wants to play rather than organise, which is fair enough). I've been painting up my lead Harlequins with the express purpose of bringing something special along to this event.

Manoeuvers in the Jimulthuan Quadrant: I

 
The early stages of the war seemed so little. Only with hindsight was it possible to see the genesis of the terrible conflict yet to come. 

Saturday, 14 February 2026

Penitent Defence: Sisters of Battle vs Chaos Space Marines

 Round one of the Campaign draws to a close as the Chaos Fleet descends upon the Imperial world of Alebus. Can I defend it? Hold my beerbus!

Storm Warning

Do you know what happens to a model when it's mounted on a fragile strip of lightning?

Marvel Crisis Protocol: Storm

The same thing that happens to everything else.

Get Off My Land...Raider!: Ultramarines vs Death Guard

Kraken recently posted about starting up a new campaign and Stylus and I (Pootle) are kicking things off, harking back to 8th edition with my Ultramarines trying to kick the Death Guard off my home planet of Bagot Prime.
