Tabletop Workshop Village

I recently received my order through from Tabletop Workshop, a fairly new British plastic terrain company with a great and growing selection of buildings. They have a unique place in the market right now, full on plastic moulded buildings of a high quality and amazing simplicity (all four of my four buildings consisted of just seven pieces each). The first building I built, randomly chosen the Barn, I put together in the car as soon as I picked up the package.

Extra Life Auction Model

Quiet times in the hobby the past two weeks, D&D has been off and that cuts out not only my roleplaying but also my main hobby time each week.

However, to support Extra Life, and to get my hobby fix, I bid on a French painted Napoleonic trumpeter.

This is how he looked on ebay

In Cyric's Name!

We had a fantastic session of Dungeons and Dragons 5th Ed. last night. Most of it was centeted around one room and a simple curse that befell one of our party.

Cleric of Torm (Melchett): "Darling, why do you worship at that alter to the evil Torm?"

Paladin of Torm (Darling): "He is out God Melchett, how dare you blaspheme so?"

Cleric of Torm (Melchett): "What do you say? You worship Torm? For that you die!"

Dead Snow?!

Just a quick share. During DnD last night I made these five zombie Nazis. 

Combining parts from Warlord Games' German WWII models and Mantic Games' zombies. I had them all just lying around from various other purchases and figured they were bound to get some use if I combined them. 

They go together fairly well with just a little Green Stuff here and there to join stuff up. I've enough pieces for about 20 of them so I'll try and find time to stick a few more together soon. 

Bolt Action Game Report - Defence of the Lisieux Library

Now updated with more images of the battle.

Hannes and I played a game of Bolt Action this week, he came at my small American and British force (ca.1500pts.) with a large elite formation (ca.3000pts.). Two Stug and two Tigers alongside a mechanised Waffen SS and Pioneer force. We had a great game over six turns, late into the night. As befits a a game that was more focused on the challenge of the battle and the story we didn't call a winner at the end of the game.

New Look Blog

If anyone here remembers the blog from before then they'll see the difference clearly. Firstly I've dropped the Inquisitor Drake name for Drake Poldragon, this is to mark the change from being very 40k focused to more about what I'm doing within the much larger hobby. I've also gone for a lighter and more earthy colour scheme, again to pull away from the gothic dark past of the blog.

I'm hoping to include a much wider range of topics now, including the board games. I play and more of the background modelling I do. Terrain, gaming table, Dungeons and Dragons, the works. I hope people enjoy the blog, I'd love comments. I hope I can pull off a more regular posting schedule and turn my little corner of the hobby into something others can also enjoy.

Inquisitor Drake signing off. Welcome Drake Poldragon.
