Seb McKinnon’s secret lair
I’ve been somewhat ambivalent about the Secret Lair series from Wizards of the Coast. Overall I think it’s a good idea but the execution has been lacking. For the upcoming … Continue reading
Radagast the brown
This a version of Radagast produced by Games Workshop during the gap between the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit film trilogies. This is the man before he received the … Continue reading
Talisman RPG available
The Talisman board game has a special place in my heart. It’s not the greatest of games, not by a long way. Calling it ‘fantasy Monopoly’ would be too harsh, … Continue reading
Plague Marine speed painting with Midwinter
Midwinter Minis posted a new video a couple of days ago, this one dealing with speed painting Plague Marines. This is definitely one I wish had come out before I … Continue reading

Warhammer Quest: Darkoath Chieftain
Of all the heroes in this 2016 Silver Tower set, this one is my favourite. He’s also the least ‘heroic’. I’m not sure if that’s related. The Darkoath Chieftain is … Continue reading

Children’s book technology comes to wargaming
Okay so the title is a little tongue-in-cheek but Upzone is a new product range of literal pop-up terrain: The project page makes it clear that this is simply fold-out … Continue reading
Warhammer Quest: warrior priest
I like the new warrior priest model, but he does not care to balance on his base. The little light areas at the base of his feet is the blu-tak … Continue reading
