On a productive hobby day, the back broken on 24 ghosts for my Undead Horde of Ezra Dinn project. After these just two dozen skellie archers to do to complete the set. Will I manage it by All Hallows Eve? Probably not!

Made Yorkies using @fenrisgames.com recipe. As the Amazon review of the tray says very succinctly ‘Klasse Pud! Sieht schön aus und sehr gutes Material. Die Yorkshire Puds gelingen sehr wundervoll, sind optisch auch klasse und lösen sich wie von selbst aus der Form’.

Classic hobby and fitba Saturday afternoon. One eBay sourced (centre) Warhound and two I did myself. Adequate quality only, and temp basing. 428 figures for the year.

I had never heard of these before. 🧐

Anyone going on BBC this month should order one of these beforehand and let them sweat www.poppyshop.org.uk/products/pri...

Something to consider...

845. Foundry Norman Duke.

848. Barbarian Pack Mule, Frostgrave Forgotten Pacts, North Star Military Figures. All done in Army Painter paints.

First 2 games of Adeptus Titanicus on Monday. Went quite well. Not sure how damage works with Knights - is it 1 knight goes each time there is extra damage, or do you reset the track after you've lost one? And Titan weapons - is that body hit automatic, or only the second time that location is hit?

My new article is out: the PDF is free to download from my website profgarysheffield.com/my-books/rec... 'Before and After the Somme: providing Officers for the Armies of the British Empire', Stand To: Journal of the Western front Association, No. 143, September 2026, pp.15-21

Just arrived. Filler game given a Must Play rating by Games Magazine. My collection is too heavily weighted towards the Eight Hour Epic type of game, so rebalancing needed!

Hobby update: am now gameable for Adeptus Titanicus. Just as well as I’m scheduled to play tomorrow! Four more Stompies to paint and perhaps a few more buildings - now I’ve seen how much table this set covers.

Just finished this. Enjoyed it. Very good at interweaving perspectives of elites with everyday situations for everyday people.

837. Foundry 2000AD Judge Dredd: Psi Judge Karyn.

We had tremendous fun playing Call of Cthulhu before a packed and enthusiastic audience in Stirling Castle's Great Hall last night.
