I think she's despairately trying not to remind people that she's black.

Painted Late Roman officer figure

The same figure in pieces before assembly

I made this Late Roman officer out of the old Salute St George that someone gave me. He was wearing far too much mail for the period, so I gave him new plastic legs and hands after carving off the original shield. I gave him a sword instead of an axe after I took the picture.

Then I got off the bus

Take a hike!

I really like it, it works well. You can tell that it's been playtested to death before being released. Definitely better than Hail Caesar. I've not played TTS.

*late naughties...

Mix of Pendraken and Magister Militum. All I could afford when I left university!

Storage for two 600 point armies (coke can for scale). If it was 28mm metal, you'd get a hernia trying to carry it.

Two wargames armies of 10mm painted figures, with Normans on the left and English on the right.

Back in the last naughties I had loads of 10mm early medieval stuff, which I rebased at the start of lockdown in 2020. Now it looks like I can do Hastings using Midgard with both sides around 600 points.

If it's any consolation, we still call it "9/11" over in the UK...

Tenth of April? 😁

Annie are you okay?

Yes indeedy

Try having a surname that is also a first name

Whatever happened to Nelson's two little mates who were replaced by Dolph, Kearney, and Jimbo?

I redrew the first player marker for my Elizabethan conspiracy game.

Much better.

People would be queuing long after 10pm

Finished something! A unit of Goth nobles and two Goth heroes from 1898 Miniaturas, and a Late Roman hero made from the Salute St George show figure with new legs and hands.

New wargames grass mat for the table.

What's Voidfighter like?

I wonder which clip from the trailer will replace "spiderpig" as the only thing people remember from this film.

A table set up with several hundred wargames figures

Played a big game of Valour & Fortitude yesterday. Not my favourite period or ruleset, but it was a good game and our French were victorious against the dastardly Austrian/Russian alliance.

The best Craig reboot idea that I saw was that Bond was just the drug dealer from Layer Cake recruited into MI6.

Oh god no

What's it like?

Are you posting from 1938?

Each player is an influential person at court, but may either be loyal or a conspirator. Players spend the first part of the turn trying to gain favour at court so they can get close to the Queen. In the second phase, the most favourable players vote to further their schemes using the cards shown.
