Join us as we delve into tabletop miniatures wargaming and the fun games that we enjoy sharing with you. We cover each facet of the Hobby, from painting and assembling of miniatures and terrain, through to examining rulesets and the great games they produce on the tabletop.
Also we explore the rich worlds and background of some of these games, and share information on historical battlefields and how it relates to the games we love.
We intersperse this with the occaisional look at various other related topics such as RPGs, CCGs ..but only if you can coax us into putting the paintbrush and dice down...!!!
