00 At the Broken Door tavern… The common room was abuzz with anticipation as the crowd waited impatiently for the entertainment to commence. Bills had been posted on every flat surface from one side of Asteria to the other announcing that Rossglum of Wyldflock was performing “The Spoils of War” this night at the Broken […]
00 No, not my old website – a role playing game set in Middle-earth during the latter years of the Third Age. The 1st edition of the game came out around 2010 and I completely missed the boat. While I saw it on the shelves of my FLGS, I figured I’d never find anyone to […]
00 The legions of Castle Brass assemble for their annual Christmas photograph. In all their under-coated glory, the first batch of Kamarg troops are assembled ready for a lick of paint and a bit o’ basing action. These figures are from Eureka Miniatures and are officially licenced products from the History of the Runestaff books […]
00 For a couple of years, I have been eyeing up the model buildings from Tabletop World (clicky linky thing) and trying to decide whether I should buy some or not. If you haven’t seen their work before, then I strongly suggest you take a look – it’s simply gorgeous. A little while ago I […]
00 There has been a resurgence of interest in this game here at Casa del Dagorlad. I have copies of almost every edition of D&D since I first picked up the orignal back in 1978, but it’s been around 30 years since I played the game. It’s the game that got me into the hobby […]
00 It’s early days yet, but I’ve started work on my most ambitious terrain piece yet. If I finish this, it will be a miracle. Rivendell, in all it’s 28mm scale glory! I am doing this because I know that not many people in the past have attempted it and even fewer have done it […]
00 My latest project – building a small section of Venice for an upcoming demo game. Andrew and I are going to run a game based on the world of Solomon Kane (one of Robert E Howard’s pulp heroes) at a future Little Wars, probably in 2013, but it depends on how distracted we (I) […]
00 The stairs shown in the previous post need to sit raised above the level of the river as it cascades down the mountain side. In order to do this I have cut a base out of some 25mm styrofoam and clamped it to an MDF base. I base everything with wood these days, as […]
00 Belegost, Gabilgathol in the Dwarvish tongue, the name means “Great Fortress.” The city was one of two founded in the First Age in the eastern side of the Ered Luin (Blue Mountains). At the height of the War of Wrath, the land of Beleriand was rent asunder and the sea consumed all that lay […]
00 My good friends at the Group North Historical Wargaming Society are celebrating their 40th anniversary this October and are putting on an extra special Open Day to commemorate the occasion. http://www.groupnorth.biz One of the oldest wargaming clubs in Australia, possibly the oldest, Group North have been a fixture in this state for as long […]
