Back in the day it would be a Friday or Saturday night starting between 6/7pm then going on until the early hours. These days 3 to 4 hours is just right with friends, an hour with strangers is fine.

I've played the game quite a few times, I think it gives a good feel of the film personally (mind you, we played the scenarios individually rather than in the campaign).

Nice! They're all excellent sculpts except for the Queen, I think I might rebase the Clix queen I have. That looks a perfect size.

Was Shadow War Armageddon within the last 10 years? I still say it's the best GW skirmish game apart from original Necromunda.

Just received these in a trade. The WoW game is unplayed, and the other two are complete and in an amazing condition for their age. They almost look brand new!

I highly recommend this book. It's a collection of short stories that are mix of Cthulhu Mythos and dark comedy based in and around a town called Neverbury. I'm just about to start the second one now πŸ™‚

I still hate having to make figures before painting them, bring back good old metal minis...

You use the space you have. Last night we had six players so we used two tables. This photo shows the end of a game with four players on a single table.

You know you've had a good night of gaming when you come home with a headache due to laughing so much πŸ˜„ Games played were 'BANG!', 'Codenames Pictures', 'Tacta', and 'Love Letter'.

Bit of a bargain from Oxfam earlier, only a tenner! Couldn't resist all those cute Cthulhus and a glow in the dark D20! Not to mention all the great @muskratjohn.bsky.social art... πŸ™‚

Originally, I painted these for 'Savage Core' but now they'll be used for 'Hide, Stone and Bone' as well. All painted with Contrast paints.

Many years ago, I used to help put on 'Very British Civil War' games on at shows. These were my L.R.D.G. (Long Range Devon Group) who fought for the Albertines.
